Oh my students would love this! I am an advid reader and love to use reading journals. I do use Goodreads to track my reading and books. I have purchased reading journals before from big name companies. I am so bookish it is not funny. This is a great tool to have. Highly recommended!

Why do I need to give feedback on this to avoid getting a ding on my percentage? I downloaded it to see what you were offering. I decided it wouldn't work for me.

This reading journal is the best free digital journal I've come across. This year, I got to the point where I made my own on Google Docs but it's taking a lot of time and I'm falling behind very easily. Next year, I'm hoping that I can use this template instead and speed the process up. I love the idea of keeping a reading journal but I don't want to waste lots of paper so this is a great alternative, Great job, I really hope you release more of these during the next Camp NetGalley. They are perfect to keep track of all my goals on this app.

This is a fun idea and useful for keeping track of all the arcs I read in a year, however I dislike that it takes up space on my shelf,

This is a lovely journal for keeping track of my NetGalley ARC reads, with a wonderful layout that's fun and easy to use.

This is a cool little resource for keeping track of the books you read and review for NetGalley.
I would love a printed version!

This reading journal has a really great design layout. It would be wonderful if there was a print version of this available to purchase for those who prefer pen and paper.

I love the layout of this journal, but I haven’t used it in a way that would do it justice. I start off really well with reading journals and then after a couple of weeks they end up sitting on the shelf gathering dust.

I’ve been reviewing books and using reading trackers for a long time, but a for some reason, I’ve always been intimidated by reading journals. I just learned of this one through Camp Netgalley 2024 and I’m excited to give it a try. I’m going to dedicate it to ARCs only, which I think will be very helpful when it comes to keeping track of release dates and when to publish my reviews on social media, so I’m pretty excited about that.

I wasn’t expecting the journal to be so extensive and have extra activities like bingo and the habit tracker, which are welcome additions. I think it’ll be fun to fill out the book shelf too. Hopefully I’ll stick with it and I can come back to this review and update when I’ve filled it all in!

This was a really cool idea but I struggle to use it. I am not big on using docs on my phone because it’s so small and, with that being the only device I have, I had a difficult time making edits. When I did figure out some things I didn’t like how it looked. Not necessarily a downfall of the journal, just feedback for those of us less familiar with techy stuff.

This reading journal is truly a comprehensive all-in-one way to track your reading goals, TBR, and reviews. I’m excited for an additional way to track my reading success and to be able to look back in a year at my progress. The layout is nice and clear, the font is legible, and I enjoy the simplicity and style of the color scheme and graphics. The journal is minimalist but just enough. Love it and can’t wait to start using it immediately. Thank you so much!

I am so excited for how cute and easy and comprehensive this reading journal is! I can’t wait to get it printed and to add things to it digitally to share. I always talk about how I need a reading journal but never get around to making a bullet journal look cute, so thank you thank you, NetGalley for helping a girl out!

It is hard to use on my mobile. I will have to change my review once I try it on my PC. It definitely looks to be a helpful tool!

Clear and comprehensible while still being comprehensive, the NetGalley Reading Journal is a great digital tool for tracking your reads. With easy navigation, the journal starts with a short overview of your shelf before going into review pages sorted by month. Each month has an overview for what you've read and other little stats, including some specific to netgalley, before going into the more usual review pages. These are conceise, which I personally prefer, while still giving you enough space to fill in your thoughts. At the end of the journal there are also plenty of goodies, reading challenges, trackers, etc.
The colour design is lovely, the graphics are nice and sticker packs are also available.

All in all a great digital journal, especially for anyone using NetGalley.

The NetGalley reading journal was much larger than I expected. There are so many options for journalists to include stickers, track feedback ratio stats or goals, and general thoughts on books I've finished. I love it!

This is such a fun and creative way to track books read! Clear, concise, and creative! I am having a great time playing with this and journaling about the books I’m reading.

it was ok, but I think I would rather use an actually physical book to use as my reading journal. I did like the extras in it like the added stickers, etc.

Me encantó. Me servirá mucho para llevar un control de mis lecturas.

Se que lo estoy descargando medio año después, pero en mi defensa no sabía de su existencia y sólo lo descubrí porque me inscribí en el campamento de NetGalley, sin embargo, me ayudará mucho. Más vale tarde que nunca.
