Very helpful user guide for NetGalley’s great reading journal to help set it up and use it. Looking forward to using this every day for my charting reading. Thank you NetGalley.

I'm trying it out on Goodnotes on my laptop, but I plan to get an iPad soon which I'm hoping will allow me to add a little more personality to it as I read new books this year. Thanks for creating and sharing this free resource. Excited to journal more about my reading vs. doomscrolling bookish apps.

This is cute but I never was able to figure out how to use it
that’s totally on me, and is not due to anything with the formatting.
I can see how others would love this tool and I may try next year!

Helpful and informative guide to using the reading journal. I just wish it didn't have to be downloaded as a pdf and added to my list of books to review as it don't feel I should have to review something designed to be an instruction manual for the reading journal.

i rly like the graphics of this, but kind of sucks that there are no free apps for something this nice except goodnotes (i'm not sure i want to pay 9$ a year for this). :(

Good quick start guide for the NetGalley Reading Journal. Especially helpful when determining which app might work best for your needs.

A simple but informative guide on how to use the reading journal for the typical user. I initially thought there was no hope for me to use the journal without an iOS device, but in the guide it mentions the Xodo app, which can be downloaded at Play Store. So that's that! Thanks Netgalley for the useful guide!

Discovered Goodnotes: Now the love of my life. I love using the Reading Journal because honestly, I'm too lazy to make my own, but this has everything I could possibly need. Duplicating pages is so easy and it's aesthetic without being crowded.

I find the reading journals to be super helpful! It’s a great way to track the books you read and to keep yourself accountable! One of my goals in 2025 is to be more consistent with tracking my reads so this reading journal is super helpful!

This is a quick and useful user guide for people who are new to keeping a reading journal. There's lots of useful information regarding the journal and explains things for users of iOS and Android.

It's a fun journal, thank you for offering a guide, as well. Thank you for providing this for your readers! I'm not sure what else to write, since this isn't an actual book review. Haha!

I was looking for a reading journal (after trying many apps, but it wasn't enough), but I felt like it was hard and too much work just to track my books. I really love the fact that we have a guide because I downloaded the journal but I was so lost, I admit.
Thank you We Are Bookish and Netgalley!

Great information on how to use! I used it to learn how to import it to an app and it has so many useful guides and tips.

A useful and well laid-out user guide covering all aspects of the reading journal, including what apps to use to edit. Very thorough and instructive for the beginner.
