This is so helpful! I knew I wanted to use the journal but had quite a few questions about how to make it work for me and this guide more than covers everything I need to know. Thank you, NetGalley!

I love how this journal has space for me to print out photos of the books and add them! Plus the built in place for reviews. Can't wait to use this in the new year.

I’m grateful for this Journal because I wanted some time to sit with my thoughts when writing reviews, and I also love to keep track of the books and ARCS I’m reading. Very useful!

I tried to download this on my kindle which didn't work well. I haven't used it.

I will try to download on my laptop and see if that works better.

It looks great.

Thank you.

I have used bullet journaling to keep track of my personal habits and goals for a few years now so there were several features that I really liked about this guide. I liked the links at the beginning that would take me to specific locations in the journal. I really liked the layout of each month. The challenges at the end look like they will be fun and will look gorgeous when completed. In the Xodo app on windows, there were weird artifacts on the document that make it less than visually appealing. For example, there would be random letters overlapping other letters in titles. I wish there was a master calendar at the beginning as I have found having a visual of "due dates" has been really helpful in tracking my reviews and reading. But overall I am excited to try this!

This is so easy to use, way easier than I expected. I can update it on my computer and phone in addition to a tablet. It helps me keep track of things so well. Definitely going to be my go to in 2025.

I found the idea of this really intriguing and was eager to try it out. After reading the “how to” guidebook, I wasn’t quite as eager. First of all, you have to download an APP to use the journal- an app that you pay for. That completely turned me off. I do still think this is a good idea, but it just didn’t work for me. I’ll stick to my own type of journaling, both on paper and through Goodreads and my personal online journal. But for those who don’t mind going through the app and using this, it can be a plus.

Recommended with caveats.

I usually use Google Docs to draft my reviews and Goodreads to keep track of my books but this could be a handy tool for someone who wants to use more of a journal format.

This is such a cute idea and I’m so excited to utilize the NetGalley Reading Journal in the future!
I hope they come out with another version going into 2025!

A really great tracker that has everything you need to keep your reads and thoughts organized! From logging all the books you have read or want to read, monthly check-ins, and in depth book reviews, your entire mind can be spilled onto these pages.

Cute idea for a book journal. Has a lot of different pages to track as you read. Lots of details can be added for someone who would like a tracker like this.

I really like this Reading Journal. It's a great way to keep my thoughts and reviews organized, and the stickers are a fun way to add a personal touch to my journal.

This is a very helpful resource full of inspiration and organization. I loved getting new ideas for my physical reading journal and how to interact with NetGalley more! I really like noting the publishing date in my reading journal, especially for arcs. It is well-organized and easy to use. I'd love to see more fun bookish challenges and unique ways to interact with my reads!

I really enjoyed this reading journal. It is easy to use and allows me the ability to keep track of my NetGalley books and reviews.

This is a really cute reading journal template for anyone who wants to track their reading outside of an app. I will be downloading this on my tablet to edit and enjoy!

5/5 ⭐

Thank you to We Are Bookish and NetGalley for this ARC. All opinions are my own.

I am really enjoying the journal. I was able to convert it to an epub doc and then use it in my Kindle Scribe! I can’t wait to enjoy it throughout 2025.

I can't wait to use this reading journal in 2025.
Have a lot of sections that i want to discover through the year.

This is a fun and useful looking reading journal. For anyone using netgalley this would be very helpful and a way to organise your reading and opinions.

I don't think it is something I will personally be using. I am content in the way I am currently journaling and organising my reading stats digitally.

However, I think the aesthetic of this is pretty and it could be useful for those wanting to track their reads and goals.

Thank your to NetGalley and we are bookish for providing a free copy. All opinions are my own

An absolute need for readers. This book was a special gift for readers who enjoy the habit. And even for novices. There is something for everyone. The formats are simple yet organised. The best thing about it is that it van be customised. Wonderful to manage the reading list.

This was such a fun idea! I love reading and writing journals, and this one was simple yet easy to use. I would use it again.
