I'm so excited to have this reading journal. It's full of so many helpful reading tracker spreads and makes me excited to read!

I am having a very hard time downloading with my iPad ..unable to locate the file … wish more comprehensive instructions so I could utilize this useful reading journal.

I love the arrangement of the various categories throughout the journal and the spot for the stickers was an especially good idea. The link tabs make it really convenient to use and the different kinds of notepaper were a thoughtful touch. The activities are just right in terms of effort and volume and I like the style of the graphics.
I am not exactly sold on the color scheme and in a lot pages the thick black text is a bit jarring in contrast with the other fonts and letter colors (eg. the review pages).
Overall, there are a few things that could be improved, but I'm grateful you provided us with this lovely journal.

What happens when you put 5 of the world’s greatest female mystery writers together along with an unsolved murder? You get “The Queens of Crime.” After being ignored by their male counterparts, Dorothy Sayers, Agatha Christie, Baroness Emma Orczy, Margery Allington and Ngaio Marsh put their collective minds together to search for the killer of an innocent, young woman. Will they succeed and at what cost.

I think this is exactly what I need to keep myself organized in 2025! Thank you NetGalley! Added bonus - I'm learning a new skill of using SmartReads and my Apple Pencil for my iPad. I’m truly excited to see how this changes my reviews and keeping track of everything I read.

Used digitally a bit in 2024. I like the style and format. Very well put together and comparable to journals for sale, but optimized for ARC reviews. Plan to use 2025 version more regularly.

Very nice book reading journal. I used it with GoodNotes 6. This journal not only has a place for month to month tracking, but goal setting, TBR diversification and lots of note space!!

Thank you for this great resource to use throughout the reading year, Netgalley! It is so cute! I love it!

Thanks for the reading journal. it was very helpful to track my books! I have never used a journal before and now, I will continually use one in the future!

I was initially flummoxed when I opened this Journal - “How the heck do I edit this?” I thought. I liked the look of it and the very organised layout with tabs for each month, as well as the activities and challenges towards the end. Although I was impressed by all this, I had dismissed using it because it seemed beyond my technological reach. Thank goodness, therefore, for the Guide, which I very belatedly read properly.

I still need to learn how to use the features of Goodnotes so I can get the most from the Journal, but already it’s got me feeling more motivated about the reading year ahead. I’m especially looking forward to playing NetGalley Bingo…who doesn’t enjoy a game of bingo!

Thank you, NetGalley, for putting together this wonderful resource for us eager readers.

I've been looking into reading journals and I was so excited to try this one out. It's been real easy to figure out how to use and it's been absolutely beautiful

This template is actually awesome and is definitely worth the download. It includes everything you need for a reading journal so using this would easily substitute a paper journal. I will hopefully be using this in the new year

Will be making a lot of use of this over the next year - thank you to the team for putting this together

Helpful for tracking reads

As an avid reader I like to keep a log of my favourite reads and also patterns in my reading habits and preferences throughout the year and this tool has been helpful in this endeavour.

I am always looking for ways to record and remember what I read. This is a handy resource! recommend!

Excellent reading journal to focus on books read and reviews , activities are fantastic! This is a great book journal . Wish I had this years ago . So many wonderful books to add. I will share these ideas with my book club

This I sooo cuteee! I’m so excited to start using it and it’s just so helpful that it’s already set up!

This is a brilliant journal to keep track of the books I read! It contains more than I need even! Love the aesthetic side to it as well!

This is a cool idea, but I wasn’t aware that I would need a particular app to use it, so it was a little hard to navigate.

Helpful. Probably more pages and features than I need, but the structure is fantastic and useful. The primary benefit is being able to use it forever and add sections as needed. I have a similar one, but I do prefer this one when I think to use it.
