This is set up really beautifully. I really liked the different type of worksheets and the different colors. The beige scheme is very calming.

Since feedback seems to be necessary, I will just say that while I appreciate this gift and the work that went into it, and I can see it being very useful for the right type of person, I'm not that type of person. This is not because I don't track my reading, quite the opposite. I already track it to the degree that this doesn't add much capability to what I've already set up for myself. On top of that, the format is very difficult for me to figure out how to make it work for me. I'm old enough that I don't use my phone for everything, only what I have to. I much prefer the larger screen of a computer. Making edits to the PDF in a PDF reader is clunky and just not worth it.

But these issues are all quite specific to me, and despite the fact that I have other ways of tracking my reading, I would have probably still tried it out more if I'd had an easier way to use it. I even thought about printing it, but realized it would be a lot of pages, and that's when I realized how little it would add to what I already do. It's a nice journal overall, though.

Love how in depth this is and will definitely be using this year! So many different ways to track your book goals and habits. I can’t wait to fill everything out!

I don't think this reading journal actually needs a review, it's a tracking tool only. However, I can't remove it from my Title Feedback page until I go through this process, apparently.

It is a journal vs a reading book. I was expecting a book to read and not a journal. I didn't read this or do anything with this book.

This is such a wonderful journal, easy to use. A book journal is a great asset if you want to keep track of your reading.

The NetGalley Reading Journal is a free digital PDF that you can download, edit, and customize to track your reading. It is designed for journaling and tracking enthusiasts who enjoy writing reviews, participating in reading challenges, tracking habits, and more. However, I am not one of them.

I don't plan or reflect on my reading habits or challenges. I just read whatever I feel like, mostly audiobooks these days. Reading is reading, after all. When I write a review, I save a copy with links to the author's folder in my mail client and move on to the next book.

Therefore, even though I downloaded this journal to see what it was like, I will never use it. It is not for me.

Cute and helpful - good for organizing reads and remembering especially if planning out reviews and promotions

Such a cute idea! I love book journaling and especially when it’s digital! It’s simple yet effective. Thank you so much

I'm also new to journaling, so having a journal that's already set up with just the right amount of pages is a big help. It's great to have everything you need without it feeling overwhelming. This digital book journal is seriously amazing! It's got all the features you need to track your reading progress throughout the year.

It is a really good digital book journal and I am really excited to use it!!
It has everything that you may need to track your reading progress throughout the year

great way to keep track of my books and my reading! Have been using this for all of my books this year so far

Thank you Goodreads for the gift! <3 I can’t wait to use it this year!

Words words words words words

This will be my first time using a digital journal. It is a new and interesting way to organise my reading. I love this idea and I hope each year there is a new iteration, with different colours and new stickers.

I have seen readers use journals and this one looks so cool! However, I'm not someone to keep a journal so will not be using this. Love the formatting and the sections though and this would be great to readers who love to journal.

Cool idea. I'm not sure if I'll use it as I've never used one before but it seems like it's well done.

This is such a cute idea!!

I’ve been wanting to journal my books and this is perfect!

I love that it’s so customizable and I’ll be able to track all the books I get through NetGalley and have them on a visual page of when the books release

Nice baseline journal, but nothing fancy. I will probably take this and modify it more to suit my needs. I'm not sure how else to review the reading journal.

This is a great journal to help keep track of books being read but its a large document to print. If you have a program where you can make annotations to the actual document it would be much easier to use. I plan to make copies of some pages to track my reading.

The format is ok - a nice product for free anyway! I need to start taking more notes and becoming organized about the books that are on my TBR or read list, hopefully this is a start.
