I actually really do like this one. However, I am just not really a journal gal tho, so I most likely won’t be using this in the future. The tabs and sections were easy to use, and the ascetic was very cute!

I really like this reading journal Netgalley provided. It offers unique ways to track reading and challeng me. I also like the quality of the artwork. I look forward to using this this year.

Thank you NetGalley for my lovely gift. This journal is well designed and looks gorgeous, however, it is not really user friendly and I am finding it hard to fill out on my devices.

Such a lovely gesture however and I appreciate the gift.

I enjoyed adding it to my good notes app. The design is simple and not overly busy. While reading is my passion, I listen to a lot of audiobooks. So I loved that this temple included audiobook ratings. It also has some features I haven’t seen before, like 5 books that best describe yourself. It has best of the year chart, monthly layouts (each month has cute bookish saying). And even a reflections page that asks pointed questions about the books you read that year. It’s also not dated, so you can use it over and over. Overall, this is great layout to play around with and keep better track of your reading and listening. While the the colors and planner layouts are all cohesive, my only personal tiny dislike I don’t love is the color scheme, but that’s just me. Would definitely recommend!

This is so helpful! I've been on the fence about using a reading journal, but I love all the different options provided in this pdf. It looks like it will be super helpful with keeping track of my Netgalley arcs because I always forget if I already reviewed them!

What a fun way to track your NetGalley reading. I really enjoy the clear layout and clean look. I hope to utilize this tool through 2024 to make sure I am keeping on track with my NetGalley reading!

It's a journal that you log your reading in. What sets it apart from regular paper notebooks is that this will apparently work on popular apps to make it a digital experience. It seems tailored to work with NetGalley which is great for those who use the platform frequently.

It does indeed set itself apart from other reading logs but will only appeal to those who frequently review on NetGalley.

I sincerely appreciate the reading journal and can’t wait to utilize it in 2024! I usually use Goodreads for my reviewing and journaling but am happy to try a new way of going about it thanks to your download.

I definitely like the appeal of the way this journal is designed. It gives you some ideas of how to be productive while also tracking what you've accomplished and ways to plan for the next step. I don't digitally plan all that much as I lack an iPad and my Samsung tablet is too old but I've some ideas of trying to see how I can use this, even if it's just through Adobe Acrobat. This was a very creative way of helping us out with our TBRs while also keeping the momentum going.

The design is very fun as it looks just like a real journal and the tabs at the top and sides are clean and easy to spot. Honestly, it makes me want to buy an iPad or newer tablet to utilize this the normal way.

Thank you to Netgalley for creating this and sharing.

I was really surprised at how interactive this journal was. The quick links/tabs are super useful to get around the document.

I really like the layout of this journal, and I am trying this as my sole reading tracker for 2024!

I appreciated all the explanations of how to use the guide with a notebook app. This helped me to get started. I also like how customizable it is.

A cute and wonderful little free gift from NetGalley. As someone who routinely bullet journals about their life and hobbies, I’m so happy to see journaling of any kind becoming more popular! Self-reflection is never a bad thing!

This booklet was adorable and had some extremely helpful spreads. I think anyone, experienced with journalling or not, could easily use and benefit from this.

However, I do have a glaring issue with it: there’s no way to bind it. The left margins are nonexistent, so you can’t hole punch. The top left corner has no free space around the writing, so you can’t staple (if you could even manage to find a stapler that could go through 100+ pages/50 doublesided). Thus, the only thing stopping me from printing this out is the fact that I know I’ll have to deal with 50-100+ loose leaf pages with no way to keep them together. Perhaps there’s a method I’m missing, but as it stands I can’t think of anything and it’s frustrating!

I believe instead I will use inspiration from some of these spreads and utilise them in my current reading journal for this year. Perhaps I might even be able to print some and cut/paste them in, who knows!

Either way, huge thanks to NetGalley for the time and effort it took to create this, and for the kindness it took to share it with everyone for free!
