This is so comprehensive without being overly difficult. It is beautifully done and will be a great addition to my tracking system for 2024!

This reading journal is amazing and provides me with accountability! I love the ability to take notes on my review before I come in to submit it. I also really like the ability to track my feedback ratio during the month. The easy of use is fantastic and I'm excited to use it throughout the year

This journal is a great way to keep track of my reading daily, monthly, and yearly. Thank you NetGalley! I love the options for add photos of the book. This is a great option if you do not like to use online journals like Goodreads. Thank you NetGalley.

So excited to use this daily! Just started Net Galley and can’t wait start to get new books to review.

Reading journals are the best! Although I usually prefer physical journals, I do see the benefit and convenience of using a digital one, particularly one that is easy to navigate and use.

Following advice I saw on Facebook, I've decided to print this instead of using it digitally. Hopefully it will be successful.

I’m so excited to start my 2024 with this book journal! I’ve downloaded it into an app called Xodo and it’s been working perfectly!

Did not realize that I would have to give feedback for this gift. Doubt that I will use it as it looks very time-consuming. It may work for other people but not for me. I have a simple spreadsheet that I record all the books that I have read and want to read.

This was a nice gift from NetGalley. I’m going to have to take time to get through the features but looks like it will work well

I ended up using my journal with OneNote and have been liking that more since I prefer the program (and didn't want to pay for a new one they recommended), but the functionality it has in the PDF apps, even just Adobe, was really cool! The linking to sections is awesome.

The color scheme is a bit boring, very muted earthy tones. It looks like and is a coherent theme, but it doesn't really spark joy, you know? It's more calming of a vibe. It's very beige.

I like the different sections it has and the elements for tracking the information on each book. There are book review pages, books read in the full year, a planning / reflection page for each month, some bingo and challenge pages, and general note areas. As a reading journal it does a pretty solid job of including the things I would normally include.

There are aspects that are specifically geared towards NetGalley and ARCs, like including publication date info and such. You can pretty easily just skip those bits if you don't care or they don't apply.

Overall I like this enough that I hope they have one next year, or I might just make a copy and re-use this one for 2025. :)

This is a very detailed journal that obviously required a lot of time and effort to create. I hope to be able to use it to track my 2024 reads.

This was so amazing and thoughtful. I love how this adds in the Netgalley stats for reviews and such as well. What am loving it so far for my new reading journal. THANK YOU!

Great concept but unless you can print it off you can't really use it. Which is a shame because it looks really useful

This was such a fun idea! I can’t wait to use it throughout the year! Way to go NetGalley for coming up with this

I thought it was a great concept but once I downloaded it, I could not interact with it, It saved to my files but if I didn’t want to print, it was not useful for me.

Thank you to NetGalley for the lovely gift. I admit it seems a little overwhelming but as I go through it I am appreciating all of the detail that was included. I love a good digital journal so this was right up my alley! Even better that it was free and all I have to do is leave an honest review - most digital journals like this are more than I'm willing to pay. Thank you!
