LOVE the journal! Love the template check-in, and I absolutely plan to use this as an organization tool for my reading!

I really like the usability of this journal. I wish there was a way to use without needing other apps and still add pages but that would probably too much for the pdf. The navigation is fantastic. There's not much that makes it stand out from other book journals. For the next versions it would be nice to see a spice rating tracker since there's so many romance readers. Or to have an option to let users have an additional rating area that they can select what they are tracking. That could be marked with sticker options.

I do enjoy the Activities section as I love having personal reading challenges. The Top 10 is a fun one! As are the yearly brackets. It would use pages for a numerical tracker, like a goal of 100 books read in a year and we could color in as we go.

A nice way to keep the reading organized! I plan on using the review templates to design the social media posts too.

I love this! I am an avid journaler and enjoy keeping track of books I read. I have tried various specific reading journals and this is one of my favorites by far! I love the layout and design. It's a nice balance of keeping track of different stats (the data nerd in me loves that) while not making it seem like a chore. I think it would be fun to look back through months and years and see what you've read.

Review:
I absolutely love this reading journal! It has been such a game changer in keeping me organized with my ARCs and reviews. The layout makes it easy to track what I’m currently reading, jot down quick thoughts, and then expand them into full reviews later. As someone who reads across multiple platforms and deadlines, having a dedicated space to stay on top of everything has been incredibly helpful.

This journal keeps me motivated, helps me meet review deadlines, and makes the whole process feel less overwhelming and more fun. Highly recommend it to any reviewer, especially those juggling NetGalley or other ARC programs!

Disclosure: I received access to this journal through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I had assumed this journal would be easier to use on an ereader considering it's intended for use with digital ARCs.
I am not a fan of working with filllable PDF software. Since I intended this to be more fun than work, I chose not to go that route. The best method for me would be to print it out.
I think it is a really nice printable reading journal. It has clear sections, personalizing questions, a description of Netgalley as well as how to use the journal.

This is a great way to keep track of one's reading, really love the idea behind. The format, though generic, is still a needed addition. Kudos to NetGalley for coming up with such a thing!

This was way more than I expected and PERFECT for my reads and stats. I love everything about it especially the ease of use and the small review box for the book with the rating stars under and details. Thank you to NetGalley and we are bookish for the chance to use this!!

This is really well structured and very helpful on the go.
I usually use a physical reading journal, but don't take it everywhere, so this is great to have on my phone to take quick notes and prepare all the data before putting it on paper. Also there are a few pages that know I will love using and will want to recreate.

One way to keep track of your ARC reading materials, though it may be nice to have the option to order a beautiful physical copy rather than printing it out.

I think I prefer the colour scheme on this one to the 2024 one. I more track on my blog/good reads but has some good pointers for what to track and how to review. Plus reminders to do a monthly check in as it can get lost when you read a lot

What a quaint and helpful tool to track and keep information about books. I love how this journals was organized and how easy it was to use. While many people like digital Journaling, I am a big fan of having this printed out and being able to doodle while listening to aidiobooks.
