The NetGalley Reading Journal has potential to help me organise my reading activities. I appreciate the journal's user-friendly layout and the various sections for tracking different reading goals. Being able to personalise the journal is a definite plus and the option to print specific pages for use in a physical journal is a thoughtful touch. I especially liked the sticky tabs for easy navigation between sections. Although I haven't fully integrated the journal into my reading routine yet, I can see its potential for enhancing my reading experience. The journal offers a comprehensive and engaging way to track reading progress, set goals, and reflect on books.

I haven't started using the reading journal yet, but I've spent some time looking through and considering how I might use it throughout the year to track my reading. I don't tend to do anything in-depth - usually just tracking digitally through Goodreads, but I do like how the journal is set up and some of the possibilities it offers. It may be something that I explore using in the future.

The reading journal is an interesting concept, but since I use Goodreads to track everything from reading to the books on my shelves, it was redundant. I know it is something others would enjoy though.

This is a beautiful way to track your reading digitally. I usually use a bullet journal, but I haven't had time to work in it at all this year so I've been using this recently and it's been wonderful. I love all of the different pages and challenges to track!

I liked aspects of this journal. However, I have a paper book journal that I love. One thing I would love to see more of in this journal are lines when writing. I prefer lines. I also don't love the colors on this one.

This is a great way to keep track of books read. The journal is customizable to the reader’s needs. There are features that will be of interest to many users. Thank you for the journal!

A detailed, digital reading journal option with templates and activities to help readers track their reading while making it fun. The sticky tabs that navigate you to different sections is a nice touch.

Very neat! I love how organized this Reading Journal is. I can keep track of the ARCs I read and my reviews each month.

This is a cute journal to keep track of books you read. You can also leave your review of each book and upload stickers to include. I liked the color scheme of the journal. However, I am not a person who journals, so I can't see myself actually using this. It's all I can do to remember to leave a review on Goodreads of the books I read. I don't think I would be able to keep track of another place. I didn't like that you had to search for instructions for where to find the stickers and other information about the book. That should have been included in the original download. I'm giving this a middle rating because I can see the appeal for some people. It just isn't for me.

This was so fun to have! I really liked this to keep a journal of my books. Thank you! The format of the journal was really great and I liked that it had different sections.

I love this idea but couldn't figure out how to incorporate these pages into my existing reading journal.

To be honest I have not used this at all but it was a nice thought. Thanks for thinking of us readers.

This is a great tool for keeping track of books read throughout the year. I really like the set up of each page. Complete with instructions on how to use this resource, I believe it would be helpful for everyone using NetGalley to help keep track of the books they need to read, have read and reviewed or want to read.

Well done, helpful and thoughtfully curated with the reader/review in mind. Not sure what else to say in this review but it needs to be at least 100 characters.

I’ve been looking for a way to track all the books I’ve read and I found this journal from NetGalley. I appreciate the layout and design. This looks like something I’ll enjoy using!

I love this as a template for a reading journal. As I've been getting into reading more, it's increasingly difficult to keep track of how I felt about books. Over the past year, I've been attempting to develop something I like to use, and found this a great source of inspiration for how I want to format my journal in 2025.

I love this! This really helps me keep track of the arcs I get with great detail!!
It also helps that I can access it digitally but also print it out.

I’m not a digital journaler so I didn’t open this until recently. And now I’m sad that I didn’t! Now that I’ve read the instructions and can see that it’s pretty simple once it gets imported into the GoodNote app, I’m definitely going to do end of year wrap-ups. I hope that NetGalley provides this journal again next year because I would really like to do this from the start. Thank you for the nice tool!
