I have had a look at this and I will not be using it. It looks like too much hard work and difficult to use. If I wanted to track my reading and set myself challenges, etc. I would buy a physical journal. I hate keeping a diary and this is similar. I am a reader, not a writer! Thank you for the opportunity, though.

I was looking for a great way to physically document my reads and this is so well illustrated and organized! I can't wait to use for all my ARC reviews!

Love this reading journal. It will definitely help to track NetGalley reviews and feedback percentage. It can be printed or used digitally which is very convenient.

This is a nice digital book journal given for free from NetGalley. I haven't used it yet, as I do a paper reading journal, but it looks pretty and easy to use!

What a great idea for keeping track of my reads and understanding what goals I'd like to have each month. I really enjoy trackers and thinking about my statistics etc. so this will really help me.

Honestly thought this was really fun and loved scrolling through the pages and seeing everything there was. You also could download stickers and use the reading journal in apps where you can fill them out and as someone who loves the concept and idea of reading journals and how cute they are it's such a fun way to introduce it to people who haven't had the chance to try it.

Thank you for this useful gift. I now just need to work on the way of editing this on the computer. With practice and plenty of new books to review in 2024 is should have the hang of it by Christmas!

I received this as a holiday gift. Thank you NetGalley for this journal. The journal is laid out thoughtfully and will help me track my NetGalley reads and reviews.

I love everything about this reading journal. It truly covers everything that is important to me when I journal. The My Shelf tab will be a great way for me to track my tbr, especially keeping track of publication dates so that I can better plan my requests. I also love the section for reflecting on my year of reading. Thank you!

I looks like a nice journal, however, I use a spreadsheeet on Excel that I can organize in many different ways, so I will probably continue to use it. If I didn't already have 100's of books on this, I would probably try yours.

I find it disingenuous to present this as a cute little journal gift for reviewers but still expect a review for it. I’m personally not using it so I don’t see why I need to write a review for it. It did impact my feedback because I chose not to.

very handy for tracking reading progress and making notes without defacing your books! :) The format is user-friendly and easy to follow, and I can tweak how I use it for the specific thing I'm reading (fiction, nonfiction, educational, whatever). The stickers and drawing options are among my favorite features! I wasn't sure at first about having to download an app to use it in, but the app itself proved to be very useful, so it was like a bonus. Highly recommend for all who love to read!

I really enjoyed this reading journal. I’ve always seen reading journals in stores or on online, but never was sure how to get started with one. I felt like this one was great for someone who’s never journaled their reading before to walk them through. Now I feel like I could pick up a journal and create my own or at least pick up one of the more advanced ones I’ve seen and not feel like it overwhelmed me. Definitely would recommend for anyone, but also for beginners, and maybe students who have to journal what they are reading for class.

I absolutely love that NetGalley produced this for their users. It’s pretty, easy to use, and a great option for folks like me who don’t have the time or creativity to make their own. Thank you NetGalley! I can’t wait to see what mine looks like at the end of the year.

This is so fun! Thank you, NetGalley for the fun gift! I will thoroughly enjoy using this to track my books.

Thank you so much for this Reading Journal! I love keeping track of what I’m reading and my thoughts on the book and this goes a long way in helping me do that!

I am so excited to start using my digital reading journal, in the past I have only used Goodreads to track my books and reviews. It looks like it has everything I would need, including a separate journal just for audiobooks. Thank you NetGalley!

This is a fun idea but not super practical for me right now. I might use some of the ideas in this tracker. I do appreciate all the different options for tracking though. It's thoughtful and fully designed.

Thanks for this reading journal. I like to make my own, using the bullet journal style. However, this one gave me some great ideas for my next years reading journal.

This is a handy reading journal that helps the reader to keep track of his/her reading over the year. I like the idea of dividing the year into months and recognizing trends and patterns in one's reading.

I am not sure that I will fill in every category but I will use this tool to keep track of my reading.
Thank you NetGalley. and We Are Bookish.
