This doesn’t really get a star rating because the contents of a reading journal are so subjective, but for what NetGalley is doing specifically with this, it is done very well. Obviously, I got this on NetGalley and appreciate the time they put into it.

I added this into my GoodNotes app so I can duplicate and add pages as needed, input as both text blocks and handwritten entries, and manipulate digital images (such as book covers and stickers) directly from GoodReads or StoryGraph into my journal. Like so many journals/trackers that are available online, this one has the basics covered with places for reviews, ratings, end of-year reviews, and goals. What it has for NetGalley is instructions on how to be a responsible ARC reviewer, how to manage your review ratio, and how to craft better reviews. Plus some fun tracker pages and challenges with NetGalley specific content.

Overall, I found this helpful. I am using some of the things from it for my personal reading journal. I am doing just a digital edition, so it is not available for me to export into any other tracking apps/programs. I use it for 1st draft notes that I then review while writing my posts. It’s worth it for newer reviews to grab and use, and more experienced reviewers might find some hidden gems in its advice.

Until Next Time,
MC

Love the color scheme, organization, and overall look of this! I use it on my Samsung Tablet which has Samsung Notes built in, and it works great. Thank you for the stickers too! I am using this for all of my books this year, not just NetGalley, and it's a nice way to visualize what I'm reading. I'm not doing all the activities but I really enjoy the A-Z titles and bracketed wrap up pages!

The gift that keeps on giving. Thank you NetGalley for the book journal - lets see if I can keep up with it this year.

This is a great reading tracker and I really appreciate the gift! It is easy to edit and it will help to keep my reading life organized. Thank you NetGalley!

I really appreciate this free journal to track book reads! It is laid out in a way that is easy to understand, and it is easily edited on websites like Canva or printed and physically edited!

Lovely way of keeping track of books you've read without needing a lot of supplies. You do need to figure out if you can find a way to edit the PDF without downloading extra things.

I like the set up of the reading journal. I think the links that take you to different sections are really great. I wish that there was a way for it to automatically update with the ARCs that I read on NetGalley, though, instead of needing to use a separate app in order to add the covers and my reviews.

Thanks! What a nice reading journal. It's got colored pages and space to reevaluate your goals each month. I plan to print this up.

Thanks to Netgalley for a chance to review the NetGalley Reading Journal by We Are Bookish I love this cool way to keep track of my reading, the categories are easy to understand and use and this makes my reading even more fun. I would recommend this Reading Journal to anyone who loves books and uses Netgalley. With monthly totals, places for reviews and lots of extra bonus pages at the end this is a perfect gift for any book lover.

Thanks for the free journal - I like how it is organized and all the different tabs. It's a great way to keep on top of reading my ARCS specifically.

Thank you, NetGalley for the free resource. A wealth of pages to track and evaluate the books you review.

This was such a fun surprise to receive and I can't wait to track my 2024 reads with it. Thank you NetGalley!

Thank you Netgalley for this free reading journal ! This is so helpful as I track all my 2024 reads.

Thank you NetGalley for the free Reading Journal. I have been looking for new and fun ways to track what I read.

This is a great way to help keep track of all of your reads!
Thank you NetGalley for publishing this, I am most appreciative of this gift.
It has really helped me keep track of my books in a fun and engaging way. I highly recommend!

I love this and I’ll continue to use it. I have enjoyed this journal and would have loved to start this at the top of the year. Better late than never

Thanks for creating and sharing this reading journal. I believe it is hard for readers to find a way to track all their reading in a way that is easy, convenient, and something that they can keep up with. Providing this journal for free is a great way for anyone to track their books and reading habits.

This is a fun way to track what you read on NetGalley. I have started book journally on my new iPad and this download is perfect when using the app called GoodNotes.

I love this journal! I just wish it was a bit more colorful! It was easy to use and contained a lot of useful pages!

NetGalley provides a super cool option by creating a PDF reading journal for us. I prefer Goodreads, but I do like some of the ideas provided.
