The usefulness of this journal depends on the reader. It's a pleasant design, but doesn't match me. I have no need to challenge myself and have my own way of organizing the books I'm reviewing. For someone who doesn't have an organized framework this would be a good starting point.

This reading journal is a lovely idea with many organizing tips for keeping track of books read. However, I don’t think it will be useful for me as I already have a system I use which is less complicated.

This calendar is awesome!!! I love it and am still figuring out what all there is to the calendar. I do like being able to track the books I am reading and the books I have already read. I know as I delver further into it I will love it even more. There is so much information that can be entered and tracked in one place this is just the book tracker I didn’t know I needed, but am so glad I have! Thank you so much for putting this together it is the best thing I have ever used!!

I would give this more stars if possible. It deserves it.

Interesting way to track reading, but more than I have time for. While I enjoy reading electronically, I find it more gratifying to track on paper. Just a person preference. Would be great for someone who wants an electronic journal.

This is a fun gift. A really amazing form to be more organize with my readings. The audiobook part is phenomenal

Beautifully created and organized, I've already started inputting my 2024 reads! I only write full reviews for the books I read from NetGalley, so I'm using the monthly pages for those, and including all of my other books on the shelf pages. I like the additional audiobook review pages, as it is a completely different experience for me, and the bite-sized reading wrap-ups on each month will be such a fun way to summarize it up, while also reminding me of my favorites for the year-end wrap-up.

This is helpful and a fun gift. I appreciated the information about how to use it since I'm not entirely tech savvy. Thank you!

This is such a fun reading journal, I love it! It’s a great digital tool, thank you NetGalley for the awesome free journal.

Nice idea but I am unlikely to use it as I use Goodreads to track my reading. Thanks for the thought however.

Thank you so much NetGalley for this amazing gift!
I can see there has been a lot of thought put into it, can't wait to use it!

This was a lovely surprise gift from NetGalley, thank you. It’s a handy digital scrapbook where you can keep track of your reads: from book challenges to reviews and even complete with stickers!

This reading journal and log is an amazing gift from Netgalley and I cannot wait to begin using it for the new year.

I like thjis reading journal because i tprovides different ways to track oyur monthly and yearly reading as well as completing challenges. it is the perfect reading journal for anyone wanting to track their reading in a smooth and comprehensive way.

The NetGalley Reading Journal is a free digital PDF that you can download, edit, and customize to track your reading. There are pages to write reviews, participate in reading challenges, track habits, and even sticker bundles to make it your own. This is a great idea from We Are Bookish, Netgalley’s blog. Best kept and maintained in digital format because printing and using would be cumbersome and use a lot of paper and ink!

Perfect for keeping track of books I’ve read! It has exactly everything you could think of when having a reading journal.

Thank you for this free download! While I would not use this as a digital planner (I’m a paper planner person), I plan on printing it out and using it that way!

Unfortunately I’m not able to actually download this because no matter what device is used it always says internal server error. I also didn’t realize I would need to download additional apps to use it. It sounded like a great idea though!

Tracking my reading life brings me so much joy: reflecting on the kind of reading life I've had and then deciding what kind of reading life I want to define my future. I love the tools and templates inside of this journal.

Who doesn’t love a good reading journal? And of course, who better to make and provide you with one that has everything you would need but NetGalley? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more thorough and thoughtful reading journal ever. It’s divided into months and contains things like keeping up-to-date with your NetGalley reviews, goals, different formats you’ve used (audiobook, ebook, physical). I love the New-to-Me section. It has pages for your own reviews (you get 4 headed pages). Besides the monthly sections, there are sections for your Shelf (tbr), habit tracker, a-z challenge, reading bingo, and end of the year wrap up. Such a well laid out journal. Well done!

Thank you for creating this journal.

I have downloaded it and will print it out and use it.

It would be nice if we got a paper copy.
