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!

Interactive reading journal to help keep up with your reading and goals. I love that it has so many different templates and challenges to keep you motivated over the year.

Cute idea! I can see the amount of work that went into this and really appreciated the freebie. I'd love to see this continued each year with an updated design.

Very thorough! I liked the earth-tone color scheme. There was a section for audiobooks but I wish they had a section for e-books as well.

I generally prefer handwritten journals, so I think this digital journal will take some getting used to, but so far I am finding it to be a lot of fun. It has various activities and challenges to help track my reading. I like that it is fairly customizable with various options, so it does not feel overly constrained. The Goodnotes integration is fairly simple to set up, but it would be nice to be able to use this with other notetaking apps like Apple Notes or Notion. The stickers are also cute and fun to play around with, though I wish the graphics were a bit more modern looking — the current vibe is a bit Windows 95. All in all, I see myself using this throughout the year and keeping it as a helpful record of my reading habits to look back on.

This is a very lovely journal in theory. I am not very savvy with technology or electronically keeping up with a journal as it is. Although I love the lack of paper used, I would have enjoyed a more printer friendly alternative. Perhaps, that could be something to think about. This kind of journal really works on a tablet with the proper app to edit and be able to write in it.

I do Love this cute journal to track my books read for the new year. What a nice gift. Thank you, Netgalley!

It has a bunch of different pages to keep track of books, reviews, and reading goals for the year. It'll be great for keeping track of all the books I'll read for the year.

everything i wanted in a book journal! easy to use and track and will be getting a ton of use! thank you netgalley! love it!

Love all things reading and all ways to keep track of what I read and who wrote it and what I thought of it. So glad to get my hands on this - what a treat! I now have a place to record and plan. With so many books on my TBR it's easy to lose track of when a book is being published and so I appreciate having a one-stop-shop for my book obsession!

Very cute planner and it's also proven very helpful to keep track of the books I've read. I will be using this for 2024.

What great treat!!! I was literally planning to start journaling my reading experiences, but was a bit intimidated by the idea of all the stickers and accessories I would have to get to make it a really fun experience. Thankfully. That is no longer a concern because of this digital journal. The format of this journal is quite wonderful has has a lot of useful features. My favorite features are the ability to duplicate pages, which ensures that I'll never run out of space regardless of how many books I read and review. I love the stickers features and the way we can move the pages around to personalize our experience of the journal. Thank you Netgalley for creating this wonderful product.
