This is great, thank you!
It will definitely help me keep track of my reading. I love the set up of it and can't wait to see it filled out.

What an amazing idea!
I've always wanted to start doing a book journal - but the starting up would cost and the time and effort to set everything up...and keep up with it, I'd just feel guilty about that time.
However, with this - it's just perfect! - all set up and ready to go.
Being online it's much easier to transfer pictures etc over and type up everything!
I'd never seen a digital journal before and cannot wait to see how it looke at the end of the year!
Love this!

Thank you NetGalley for gifting us this wonderful Reading Journal :)
I'm not usually one for keeping online records, preferring written journals, but I can certainly see the benefits of using this one so will give it a whirl! It may take some working out for me, but I shall certainly try!
Thanks again.

Thank you for the gift, now I just have to work out how to use it. I’m not the most technically minded so a tip guide would be useful.

Nice to have an online journal for keeping track of reading while in the process. This journal is organized well and is proving effective for me, especially for keeping track of my reviews.

Thank you, NetGalley for the absolutely amazing reading journal.
I cant wait to star using it 2024!!!!

This online reading journal is fab! I love the reading tracker shelves, and the genre tracker shelf. I know this will help me read out of my comfort zone this year with some new genres. Thanks so much NetGalley!

Really cute! Thx NetGalley:) I didn't realize we would have to review this one before downloading it oops. But it is cute.

Thank you, NetGalley,for providing this book journal for us readers! Can’t wait to try and use it. Hoping it’s easy to do.

This is exactly what I've been looking for. It has everything needed to keep track of reading, notes and anything you could hope for.

Very nice book journal. I’ve been looking for something to track my reads and this is perfect. Thank you NetGalley!

It’s a good concept but I don’t find it intuitive to use or even useful to the way I specifically track books or reviews. I don’t understand stickers either and there isn’t a resource to help. It seems like an unnecessarily steep learning curve.

Thank you to NetGalley and We are Bookish for creating a free tool to use as a reading journal this year! It is very appreciated and useful!

This was extremely practically and helpful! While I still prefer journaling about my reading on paper since I don't have a tablet or device that would make some of the features of this journal more applicable, it was helpful to look at examples of possible spreads for reviews and reading challenges that I could apply not just to the books I receive via NetGalley, but in general.

For about a year now, I kept seeing people posting pictures of their reading journals online in various groups. They would have all these stickers and pictures in them. They were always so cute.
NetGalley has made a reading journal for all the people who do reviews of their books. Inside there are pages for all the books in your to be read (or listened to) pile, pages to keep track of your reviews, pages to keep track of challenges that you are taking part in. They even provided stickers that you can use.
The only thing that I don't like is that I don't find it very easy to use. They could have made it so easy since it is a PDF. When creating PDFs, you can make them where they have fields that are easy to fill-in. Instead, when you want to fill in the field, you have to edit the file and create a text field yourself to fill in the area. You have to do that for each and every area. To me, that is very tedious.
One good thing is that NetGalley did say that they were going to take all the feedback from the reviewers and use it to tweak the journal for next year.
So, if you would like to get your hands on this free reading journal, you can sign up for a NetGalley account and review books on social media, blogs, Good Reads, or anywhere else that allows book reviews. Just make sure to notate that you received the book for free in exchange for a review.
Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for proving this reading journal to me for free in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you for creating such a wonderful tool to use. I'm really looking forward to using it this year.

This is definitely 5 stars!!!!
I literally love this so much!!! The entire set up is amazing and I will definitely be using this all year!!!!
