This is a fantastic way to keep your thoughts about the books you read neat and organized. I love it more than I thought I would.

Thank you so much for sharing this Reading journal! Will definitely take inspiration from this to build my own physical one.

Thanks for making this reading journal! It's a great spread and provides great inspiration for my own personal reading journal spreads.

This is a helpful reading tool but I have to admit, I like my own system in my own journal better. Not a bad option for someone who wants a guided journal, though.

Thank you for giving us this gift! It changes me from always typing out my reviews and makes me appreciate this time of reflection more.

I liked the idea of the reading journal but found it too time consuming and difficult to figure out how to use it.

Such a fun idea and will be a useful tool for those looking for a great way to organize their ARC reading!!

This was a nice gift ! Thanks so much. Will be using it to keep myself organized this year.
Would be really great if NetGalley could make this part of the app and it autofills all the information. Especially the book covers.

This is a very well put together reading journal. I am excited to use it this year and see if I can keep better track of my reading and book reviews. I did find the pdf harder to use, so I printed the pages to use as a hard copy. (I hope that's ok). Each section is will defined. I like the monthly lay out, and each section in each month is nicely divided. This will help me focus on specific goals and keep track of reviews I have done. Thank you very much for putting this together and offering it to readers.

I think this is great fun and quite useful. I’m not sure all the sections will be completed by me but I like the habit tracker and the AZ Challenge in particular. I’ll enjoy using this.

Initially, I felt this would be a useful tool, to keep me organized. Unfortunately, I read soo much, that the time to transfer everything from the four review sites I regularly post reviews to took too long for my comfort level.

I think this is a helpful tool for a person who reads 50 books a year [not my last year's total of 409].

Easy, simple layout that provides what I need - namely a place to leave thoughts and save quotes, plus write down dates read.

This is a fun idea; I have a copy saved on my computer, which I'm trying to update each month. I don't think I'll use all of the pages (when reviews already end up in other venues, do I need to recreate them here?), but I appreciate the monthly summaries and look forward to seeing trends develop.

Such a cute and thoughtful little journal from NetGalley! A nice way to keep track of different bookish thoughts

It was a very cute idea to provide us with this reading journal. It is very well structured, easy to understand and very nice in design.
Unfortunately, in my case, I won't make any use of it, because I use mostly either my smartphone to keep track of my reads or another paper journal. The smartphone is inadequate to edit the pdf file due to the small screen size. Printing it out is also inconvenient if you don't have any binder.

Super. cute and well thought out. I like that the hyperlinks make it so easy to navigate the document. Thank you to Netgalley for letting me use this going into 2024!

Not sure whether or not I will use this as fastidiously as it deserves. I love the idea and I think if this was an actual book, I probably would use it. I suppose though as I copy my reviews and post them on Amazon and Waterstones, I could just add a copy to the reading journal. It might be something like writing my diary, once I get into it I’ll do it automatically. I do think having a record of ones annual reading is a good idea but I already have that on Goodreads.
So, the jury is out on this one until later in the year I think! Thank you to NetGalley though!

This NetGalley Reading Journal is awesome. It contains a lot of pages and it can be printed. It's perfect for booklovers.

This was such a nice surprise! Really cool and generous for Netgalley to make a digital reading journal for users! Digital planning and journaling is super popular right now (I do both!), so this Netgalley themed one was such a good idea. I can see many users making use of this to organize their ARC reading to stay on top of their TBRs!
