Thank you NetGalley for the Guide on how to use the Reading Journal. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. However, I personally do not see myself using the Reading Journal, but I appreciate it. It seems very tedious for being that you are mostly filling in information that you can already find on the website. Almost like double work to log it all.

I loved this user friendly guide! It helped me figure out how to download and import the book into good notes!

Such a practical journal, thank you NetGalley. Super cute and very useful for those that read and like to jot down

Thank you NetGalley for providing this NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide. I saw a set of stickers and a challenge in the newsletter and saw that those were in conjunction with use of the NetGalley Reading Journal. I'm new to Digital Journaling, thanks for the user friendly guide!

This was a great and informative guide to how to use the reading journal. I especially liked how it detailed which apps could be best suited for the reading journal and how to use each one!

5/5 star rating; Such a cute reading journal, thank you 💗 Very informative and pretty I can't wait to use.

Review: NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide

As someone who loves staying organized while reading and reviewing, I was excited to explore the NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide—and it delivers exactly what it promises: a beginner-friendly roadmap to help readers get the most out of the digital journal experience.

This compact and clearly laid-out guide walks users through the essential functions of two recommended note-taking apps. From importing your journal and uploading book covers and stickers, to duplicating review pages and toggling between writing and viewing modes, each step is presented with clarity and simplicity. Even if you're a total novice when it comes to digital journaling, this guide never feels overwhelming.

One of its strongest points is its usability: concise instructions, helpful visuals, and a structure that makes it easy to jump to the sections you need. I especially appreciated the focus on customization that empowers users to make their journals feel personal, practical, and aesthetically satisfying.

That said, this is a utility-focused guide, so it won’t appeal to those looking for deep reading material or creative inspiration. But as a tool designed to support NetGalley users, it more than succeeds in its purpose.

Thank you, NetGalley, for providing this guide for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

This is was a helpful guide on how to use the reading journal. It went into each part which was helpful for someone like me who never used one before,

This guide was very helpful in explaining the reading journal and how to go about using it. I also appreciate the tips on using Goodnotes.

The layout is very helpful in intuitive, and it also helps with using the journal. It was very easy to navigate and to understand.

This is an amazing and thorough guide for any book reviewer who wants to get organized! I appreciate We Are Bookish and NetGalley for providing this resource as to how to use the reading journal on multiple devices, and the way that they explain everything step by step. I highly recommend any reviewer that wants to download the reading journal (also available by We Are Bookish) to read through this guide first. I feel like I am set up for success now and that I can better my book reviewing experience.

This was great at helping me try to figure out how to use the Reading Journal digitally. I don’t have the right device for it, but if I did, I’d totally know what to do!
😁👍

This user guide is exactly what I needed to get a better feel for Goodnote!! I appreciated the thorough Frequently Asked Questions section, and that it was quick to find what I was looking for when I needed a reference. Thank you so much for making this resources!

Thank you for making this easy to find and download. It will help me remember the guidelines and what not to do.

I'm surprised that I have to review the user guide.Being new to it makes me concerned that NetGalley is going to be complicated to use. The guide is written well and informative.

Helpful in educating users on using Netgalley app and reader. It assisted me in familiarizing myself with the use of Netgalley which made it so much easier to get aquatinted with the amazing review and arc application.

ery nicely done, helpful to frequent users as long as you pay for the application needed. I don't use it because while you indicated that there is no fee, the platform needed does require a fee.

Great & convenient! Such a lovely collection. I'm looking forward to trying this to its full potential.

Very informative, I found the document helpful so that I could use the digital journal effectively. Looking forward to starting to use the reading journal going forward

Helpful and straight-forward! I've been looking for a way to track and display things a bit better. Going to give this a try
