Not for me, although can understand how it can be useful for some people. I use other methods and read from so many different media, this just won’t work for me.

A great resource! Simple enough to be user-friendly but comprehensive enough to cover all the must-have entries. I appreciate the fact that NetGalley has created something to engage with readers that is useful and available for free.

NetGalley’s Reading Journal is one of the most useful guides I’ve seen in a long time. It’s thoughtfully crafted and works well. I appreciate the comprehensive User Guide (separate PDF) to curate the journal to each of our likings.

I've been thinking of getting or making my own reading journal back in January. Life got in the way and, here I found myself browsing through NetGalley's Reading Journal in the middle of 2024. 😆 I guess, better late than never?

I browsed through the journal and I love it. It's simple enough to not be overwhelming, while also asking for the essential information and stuff I'd like to go back to in the future. Thinking of printing this and turning it into a physical journal. Thanks, NetGalley!

I can’t wait to get this physically. I loooove it so much. It’s organized and keeps me on track with my goals.

I don't know if I didn't really know how to use this book or what gave me a headache. But not having a printer available for me or sticker paper definitely didn't help. I am sorry to say this just didn't work for me, maybe it did for others but not for me.

It was good but because of my adhd I forgot about it and didn't use it, the stickers and everything was too much for me to deal with and I'm not a patient person

Am always looking for ways to track and remember books that I've read - this journal was a great way to do that adding the chance to add comments and thoughts to share. Loved this resource!

This was such a sweet concept and I like that NetGalley itself is interacting more with reviewers. I hope to see them doing more in the following years/months!

Really great design and actually helpful to a book readers. Whoever put it together were actually thinking about book people. In comparison, a lot of TBR tracker apps are so awful.

This is an excellent reading journal that is user-friendly and a great way to keep track of books from an unfinished series!

I also appreciate the challenges and the lay out for my students who may be beginning their reading journeys. Highly recommend!

This has proven to be so helpful and a fun way to track my reading and books. It took me a minute to figure this out, but once I have it’s such a delight to see what I’ve been able to read! Thank you netgalley!

Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for this interesting booklet.

I am a sucker for lists, but I wasn't able to insert text into the pdf, just paint squiggles. I prefer electronic lists these days, so printing a lot of pages and filling in review sheets, as fun as it sounds, is not what I see myself doing when I have StoryGraph to basically do the same.

The pdf is aesthetically pleasing but difficult to navigate and looks like a lot of extra work. If I got this in physical book form I might fill it in, but I think I will stick with my current system.

I have been using this reading journal to track all of the books I have read so far this year. I love the way it is organized and it is super useful for all of my yearly reading data! I also liked the pages demonstrating how to use and navigate it!

Great reading journal and its free!
really helpful for organising your reading and book reviews.
Thanks Netgalley :)

This reading journal is a great resource for experienced reviewers and new reviewers alike! The PDF format makes it easy to transfer between devices and to annotate. I can tell this was lovingly created by booklovers like me! It actually makes it fun to read, journal, review, and tackle challenges through my NetGalley journey. Even when I feel like I am burning out from reading books that do not fully spark joy, reading my old journal entries allows me to rediscover my love of reading.

This is a fun reader's tool, and I am excited to use it throughout the year. I went and backfilled the months that have already passed, but plan on using this for the rest of the year, and most likely years to come.

I loved the idea of the camp. I think it brings book lovers together and boosts desire and need for ARC reviews. I was so grateful to discover this in July, which is also when I started my bookstagram.

The NetGalley Reading Journal is an amazing tool to keep up with all. of the books that you have read. With the easy layout, the journal will help you with the memory of all the books that you have read over the years. I also enjoy the activities at the end of the Journal, which is fun and different than the other journals that I have seen. It is fun to look back at the journal and see how your tastes in genres have changed through out the year. And just to revisit some of your favorite reads!!

I have tried to download this two or three times and I don’t know where it goes, so unfortunately, I cannot give this a very good rating. I am not that great at technology, but it seems that it should be pretty simple. I like the idea, but it’s just not for me.
