I love this way of keeping track of my books and review/ratings! The visuals included make my reading accomplishments so much more striking, and in a format I can share on social media. Thanks so much for this design!

This is such a fantastic journal template! I can't wait to be able to go through all the pages and use them to keep my reviews together!

Love, love, love this! Downloaded it in December and then forgot about it, but I wish I had been using it all year long! I plan to use the reading wrap up at the end of the year still, and I really hope they do another one for 2025!

I wish there were a way to add photos/write reviews and interact more with the digital journal, I think the idea here is to print it off and do that on your own?

I think it'd be neat to have a option to add things (book covers, photos, reviews, star ratings) with the NetGalley Shelf app and sent it to a printer at the end of the year to have a finished professional journal (I also don't think this should cost *anything* to readers, who do a ton of free labor with our reviews and that's not really acknowledged in publishing that I've seen). On my own, I don't know where to go to get a printed product from this that will look decent at the end.

As it is now, it's a nice starter if you haven't done a reading journal before, or think that might work for you / be helpful, it's not for everyone.

Really epic free journal from NetGalley, loving the tracker and book shelves to colour, super cute format. I use NetGalley a lot and it’s smashing that they are offering this stuff with no cost!

This journal gives a unique experience to all book and Netgalley lovers. The style and colours of the journal are beautiful and the colour scheme have lovely calm tones throughout the entirety of the journal. Easily customisable from a tablet with guides on how to use and plenty of features for all booklovers.

I downloaded this, and it will be nice to have all the books organized. I am moving forward in my online and electronics part of my life, and I am going to see where this takes me.

I love how interactive this is, but if I were to print this, I’d lose all that. I’ve got my own system for marking what books I’ve read, so I’m not super likely to use the system in the journal, but I still think it’s pretty cool. There are plenty of people who would actually use this, either digitally or physically. I also like that you can print this, that way you can edit the number of pages you might need. There’s only so many review pages for each month, and I know plenty of people who skyrocket past those numbers, especially people who read lots of kids books. What is the time limit for the bingo? Will it change if this releases again next year? Is there anything to be won by completing it, or is it just for fun?

Thank you for the reading journal =) It will be put to good use to track my reading journey. I love that it is digital which makes it easy to edit and record the information I would like inluded.

I love how comprehensive this journal is, everything you need to track your reading is right there for you.
OH and the addition of activities is a cool touch and I look forward to doing them!

One thing I do wish this had available is more color options as the earthy color palette isn't for everyone but that is just me being nit-picky.

Interesting choice for readers. There are Yemen’s that work for me. I’d love something specifically designed for romance novels.

Amazing Place for Growth

I received a free copy of the NetGalley Reading Journal from NetGalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This was an amazing tool to have. I am glad that I discovered it, and implemented it for my reading. It helped me make great progress in my reading and with my ARCs. I am grateful to have this item on my shelf, and I hope that I can do better when the 2025 version comes out. I am writing this review before December, but I am loving it so far.

What a great and creative way to keep track of my reading progress! I appreciate the clear organization of different months and the quick checklist format for book reviews within each month. The bookshelf book tracker is an aesthetic and visual way for me to see what I've read so far.

This is really cool. You can tell someone really cared while making it.
I'll definitely be using this, even if I'm a little confused by it...
My favorite parts are the activities and wrap up section. Also the challenges could be fun.
Happy reading! ✧⁠\⁠(⁠>⁠o⁠<⁠)⁠ノ⁠✧

I enjoyed the content. love the stickers. You can tell a lot of time and thought went into the writing of this journal.

While this is a detailed set up for tracking your reading and keeping up with certain things it isn’t something for me. It has more information than I need and it is something that I find myself not using as I prefer a simple tracking method. Everyone is different so if you are looking for new ways to track your reading information then this may be the book for you.

Thank you for this book in exchange for my honest review. I loved the features on this journal and wished that it could have been made for iOS.

As a previously sporadic reviewer who want to be more consistent, this journal offers a great template for tracking reads and hints on the key bits of information to include in a review. I particularly like the monthly overview pages, and the space to write down quotes. This will save my camera roll from being full of random book pages, and me having to try and remember where they came from!

Thank you We Are Bookish! :)
