I like that NetGalley offered us a free digital reading journal. Once I have figured out how to use it, I will report back when it's finished. A fun way to track our ARCs/ALCs.

I absolutely LOVE this Reading Journal! While it can be used digitally (see NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide), I have it downloaded onto my desktop and have it printed as a hard copy as well. I love the different templates for goal setting and tracking. As an AVID reader, educator and as a homeschool parent, I can use this resource is so many ways. HIGHLY RECOMMEND and am so appreciate to NetGalley for this resource!

This is a very practical and well laid out reading journal. I may either incorporate some of the elements in my 2025 reading journal. Or download it and use it as a dedicated 2025 NetGalley Reading Journal.

Such a fun free resource from NetGalley! I use mine through the GoodNotes app and it’s very easy to navigate, customize, and update. I can easily add more pages where needed and add my own flare with the included sticker bundles.

This is such a great idea though I have not used it to its full potential due to being intimidated and overwhelmed, but I think I'm trying to be too much of a perfectionist and just need to use this journal in my own personal way, which is absolutely possible. I can see how this can be a very useful tool to stay organized and do plan on utilize it more. Thank you so much NetGalley!

The story centers around three teenage girls, Kiara, Priscilla, and Nevaeh, who are all deeply hurt when their popular classmate, Tommy, is exposed as a cheater. Seeking revenge, they wish him out of their lives. However, their wish takes a sinister turn when Tommy is found dead. As the girls become suspects, they must navigate the complexities of their own friendships and the secrets they've been hiding while trying to uncover the truth.

What I Loved:

Relatable Characters: The three protagonists are well-developed and easy to sympathize with. Their struggles with betrayal, friendship, and self-discovery are universal.
Gripping Plot: Agyemang masterfully weaves a suspenseful narrative that keeps readers guessing until the very end. The twists and turns are unexpected and satisfying.
Social Commentary: The novel offers a thought-provoking exploration of the impact of social media on young people and the dangers of online anonymity.
Strong Female Friendship: The bond between Kiara, Priscilla, and Nevaeh is heartwarming and provides a much-needed sense of support in the face of adversity.
Overall, Heart-Shaped Lies is a thrilling and engaging read that will keep you hooked from beginning to end. Fans of YA mysteries and social commentary will appreciate this thought-provoking novel.

A great way to keep track of books!

I am not creative enough to create a bullet journal for my reading journey, so this journal is perfect for my needs as a reader and a reviewer. Thank you to NetGalley for offering this to users.
