I don't need another reading journal, but a netgalley specific, from netgalley? okay then!
I'm very excited to use this for 2024 (and beyond!)

Absolutely love this so far! Can't wait to continue tracking my reads throughout the year with this organizational tool. And also to be able to look back and check reviews/go over goals/see my successes and what I need to work on the following year. There's also a section for activities like a reading bingo that I love!

This journal visually looks lovely and like the sort of thing I'd have loved in a printed format. However, I am finding this digital version useless. The User Guide says to download the free version of Xodo for Windows or Goodreads on iOs. I have tried both and both are only free for 7 days, then incur a monthly fee of $12/month and £9.99/month respectively. Since i have no intention of spending over £100/year to maintain a Reading Journal I find this useless.

It’s ok but prefer paper so not sure I would use it much but don’t like having things sitting on my review list

Love this! It's really going to help me keep track of my reading this year. Thanks NetGalley and We Are Bookish

I am so excited to use my new digital book journal in conjunction with my physical reading journal.

From a visual standpoint, the color scheme is so bookish and cozy! I love that we can download stickers for the pages as well. Each page perfectly helps navigate around the entire journal.

I appreciate that this journal is tailored to NetGalley and keeping on top of ARCs as well as their release dates.

I love the usability of the journal and that I can use it on Adobe acrobat. I can wait to be using it all year long

I honestly don't keep a reading journal because sometimes I even struggle to keep up with marking my books as "read" through my tracking apps, BUT I've always had an interest in wanting to start one. I think this NetGalley Reading Journal seems like a great tracker and it makes me more interested in starting a reading journal. I love that the yearly information and the monthly check-in both include NetGalley percentages. I'm glad that this tracker is in a digital format because I would need more pages each month for book reviews if I wanted a page for each book I read. There are also sections where you can upload digital stickers for ease of use, track reading habits, track progress on reading challenges, record a yearly reading wrap-up, and keep track of notes. I honestly probably won't print out this entire journal, but I might print out some of it to add to my Happy Planner that I use to keep track of my due dates for book tour posts and ARC reviews.

Thank you so much for this year-long reading journal! It’s comprehensive and covers a lot of themes and topics I like to write about in my personal reading journals. It’ll take some getting used to, logging in a digital journal, but I’m excited to try this out in addition to my normal logging strategies.

This looks so fun! Thank you for this, I’ll definitely be using it to help track my reads! I especially love the included stickers, as well as the challenges which allow me to think outside of my comfort zone with reading!

I love it! I have to admit I am more of a paper type of girl but this is really amazing. The only reason I never had a reading journal was because I am too lazy to set it up, but no more!!

This was a pleasant and unexpected gift! NetGalley and Bookish together have created a comprehensive year’s reading journal especially for NetGalley members. The artwork is delicate and pleasing. The design may be of use to various reading styles. I can imagine some referring back to the book at the end of the year to review their reading long. I picture some enthusiasts completing detailed first impressions, ongoing reactions, and final reviews. Thank you to NetGalley for this unique offering.

This is great! Thanks so much NetGalley and We Are Bookish! From the About Me Section to the Monthly Review pages this journal has it all. I’m not sure I can fit my reviews into the space provided because I’m learning I usually have a lot to say!😄 I also really like the TBR section! Thanks again.

A useful digital diary to keep track of your reading, along with various stickers to use for the various pages. I suppose in theory you could print it out as well, but it works well as a digital version.

I'm so excited to use this for 2024!! I'm hoping it'll help me stay accountable with my books. I downloaded onto my ipad and I've been seeing a similar format on tiktok. I'll also use this for my upcoming book club that's in the works :)

Why must I review a free journal offered to netgalley readers just to stop getting reminders to review the free journal? It's not for me. I'm not going to use it.

A great digital journal which I will definitely find useful in the coming year. It would also make for a great physical journal.
