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!

I do enjoy having a place to track what I’m reading, and thoughts as they come up. I love the “get to know me by these 5 books” approach. I will be using this for 2024!!

Amazing idea but unless you have a ipad its a bit pointless but their efforts are nice and maybe one day i'll be able to use it! There are plenty of pages filled with a lot of content including reviews and goal setting pages. It's a nice way to keep organised with your reading for the year. You need a pdf editor to use this, they recommend two softwares to this but one is apple exclusive and the other just says unavailable on my tablet, phone and chromebook so not sure what's wrong with that one!

I don’t appreciate having to give feedback on what was supposed to be a gift. Kinda defeats the purpose if you make us work for a gift.

Nice but trying to understand all of the categories will take time for me. I work full time and this seems like a lot of work so some parts I will use others not so much. I love to read and leave reviews.

I have not really used this journal but did take a good look at it. It is laid out in a very intuitive way, which works. I like the month by month and the book review sections. I also like the quote sections, so this journal can be used as a commonplace book as well.
That said, I probably won't use it, because I find it easier to use a platform like Goodreads, where the books are already set up for me. My biggest obstacle to this kind of journal is the time needed to use it properly.

I really love the idea of a reading journal. This one allows you to be creative without you having to be creative. I lots of times struggle on how to approach a reading journal or cool layouts. This one does it for you.

For those interested in keeping track of their read books this is a great little digital journal. personally I read too many, so no time to keep track, but for younger readers it will help

This is a lovely gift from NetGalley and a nice option for those who are used to journaling electronically using an iPad or similar. It’s a nice design.
Personally, I don’t journal on my iPad so probably won’t use the journal. For me, it’s too much of a faff to insert book cover images and try to edit the details for each book I’ve read.
I’m not sure if it’s possible, but it would be nice to see a way to link NetGalley reviews to the journal e.g. an option to send to journal and automatically have the star rating, book cover, dates and review transferred over.
I’ll stick to using GoodReads to track my books but I’m sure this journal will be useful for many people.

This was free from netgalley and now I have to write a review, if I'd known that I wouldn't have downloaded it

Nice template. It was easy to download and start using. The color palette is perfect can wait to look back to the end of the year to see will the work I have done in here

Nice work and thank you for the gift! Nice work and thank you for the gift! It was an unexpected surprise.

This was a cute gift. Easy to use. I like the colors chosen. The clipper is not over the top. It was thoughtful to send to users. Thank you.

The templates this journal offers is incredibly helpful to track my reading throughout the year as well as useful for staying on track with my review books. The inspiration provided by these prompts motivates me on my reading journal.

I can’t wait to use this for the year! Looks perfect! It will be a great way to keep all my information on my books together.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this reading journal created by the We Are Bookish team. I thought it would be just another book telling me how to journal my reviews. Well, that's not what this is. This is an interactive journal that will certainly help me stay organized with my reviews. It also has reading challenges, check-ins, and goal tracking. There is a cute "About Me" page where I was able to tell a little about myself, yearly goals on what I want to read for the year, a way to track my NetGalley shelf for my TBR (to be read), and instructions on how to use it. There are tabs for each month's check-in, including feedback ratio, books on the shelf, how many books were read, goals, type of books, etc., and then a page for each book review that helps keep my reviews accurate. There are 4 book review pages per month so if I read more than 4 I'll have to decide which books I want to keep and which to let go, or how to add to the journal. I like that there is a stickers page I can add to, a habit tracker, and an Alphabet tracker (read a book starting with the letter of the alphabet). There is even the NetGalley BINGO section, which I've always enjoyed, and a categories challenge where you can read books based on the top 25 categories such as Fiction and Fantasy and there's even a blank one for your bookcase. Just suffice it to know that this is a welcome challenge for me in 2024 and I'll probably reuse it every year!

Thank you to NetGalley for this well-designed and practical end of year present. Here’s to an organised and well read 2024!

I love this reading journal, it has everything I need to help me organize my reading journey, and I like that I only print out the pages I'm going to use. Thanks for making this reading journal!
