Cute journal, though not sure how often I will use it. Im more of a hardcopy girl. I will definitely be trying it out more and leaving how to use.

A really well thought-through journal with excellent prompts for when you need to be pulled from a reading slump.

The NetGalley Reading Journal is a great way to track your reading progress throughout the year. Although I enjoy using a physical reading journal, I was pleasantly surprised on how easy this planner was to use. Thank you Netgalley for giving us a fun way to track our progress and reviews.

Longtime reviewer, first time journaler!
The care and thought that has gone into this FREE journal boggles the mind. I’ve been a NetGalley reviewer for quite some time now and wish I had discovered this sooner. I love being able to simply copy a cover from NetGalley and paste it directly into the digital journal. That accompanying user guide is thorough and necessary to truly get the laptops of this journaling experience.
Thank you, NetGalley, for loving your reviewers as much as we love books!

As a reviewer who typically prefers pen and paper, I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable and well-designed the NetGalley Reading Journal is. It’s a thoughtful tool for tracking ARCs, organising reviews, and reflecting on reading habits. The layout is clean and intuitive, with monthly check-ins, customizable review pages, and reading challenges that add a fun, goal-oriented structure.

Extremely helpful little reading journal. Well-formatted, easy on the eyes, and a good way to boost your Netgalley review percentage. Thanks so much!

Love this reading journal! It is comprehensive and has everything a reader needs! Would be great if it was an app.

This reading journal is wonderful! Definitely helps keep my reads organized. Love the space to be able to put a picture the book cover as well,
The reading activities at the end of the journal look fun to complete! Very happy with it!

The reading journal that's thought of everything - wish this was available as an app for phone/tablet

A pretty comprehensive journal for its purpose, with some fun extras and thoughtful additions too. I haven't really used Netgalley properly yet, but the journal would be a power-user boon to keep thoughts and feedback set out all in one easy to reference place. Good stuff!

Good reading journal, although I tended to use my spreadsheet and Goodreads for tracking as that is my habit.

Another awesome reading journal and LOTS of new, adorable stickers! It's always fun to put together a monthly recap using this template that I import into Goodnotes on my iPad.

Loved this journal! Wish it was also available as an app. Nice touch of creativity and I’ve enjoyed looking it over and utilizing it.

Great journal to use to help me keep track of books so thank you! Wish there was an app version to be able to navigate easier on both phone and laptop to add reviews and pictures to it.

Thank you so much for this lovely reading journal. I have only begun to figure out all of the fun and creative ways in can be of use to me!

Super handy and useful reading journal from Netgalley that I would certainly consider using in the future.

A really nice downloadable reading journal for all NetGalley users.
The only downside is that this would be amazing if it was an interactive app so that it didn't need printing off - it's not always easy to print off book covers, but would be easy to upload a digital picture.

This reading journal is a lovely concept and has some charming design elements that will appeal to avid readers. It offers a simple and organised way to track reviews, note reading goals and reflect on bookish habits. However, I would have liked a little more space for personalised notes and perhaps a few additional prompts to inspire deeper reflection.
That said, it is a handy companion for anyone keen to keep their reading life in order.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.
