This is really helpful for setting up and using the reading journal (in Goodnotes). Thanks for this helpful guide and the journal!

Thanks! I knew that I wanted to use the journal, but wasn't sure how. The user guide answered all my questions!

The NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide by We Are Bookish is a great resource for understanding how to approach your reading journal effectively for the first time. Additionally, it provides instructions on how to use the Goodnotes and Xodo apps to best utilize the NetGalley Reading Journal with all of its functionality.

Thank you for this informative and useful guide. It will be a great help and makes things easy to understand.

This was definitely helpful for getting started with a digital reading journal. I wasn't even aware this existed at first but now I have all the information and guidance on using mine for my reading.

This is just a user guide I downloaded to decide if the reading journal would be helpful for me. I may decide to use the journal but only on my phone or tablet.

Super helpful when using the reading journals! I love using them in my Goodnotes app and think they are fantastic for anyone who suffers from ADHD like I do, having a reading journal is a MUST to help with reading comprehension and retention.

NetGalley’s Reading Journal User Guide is a companion to their free 100+ page Reading Journal PDF! :) Within the pages of this User Guide — the author recommends two apps to use to edit digital journaling pages & offers tips for general journaling practices.

I’m glad that the apps that were recommended are ones that are free (or have free versions of them)! That helps makes them more obtainable for readers.

I recommend this User Guide to readers + reviewers that have been looking for some go to editing apps (and aren’t sure where to start)!

The NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide was very helpful and informative. This user guide made using the actual journal a smooth process.

It was a helpful user guide. I used it to help me use the new journal. It's cute and I enjoyed the color scheme.

Thank you so much for this guide to help me set up my journal and use it to improve my reviews! I just found these resources after several years on this site (I think it's been 4? Maybe only 3) and I'm looking forward to upping my game!

Thanks for the journal user guide. It is very nice and helpful. Thanks so much for this informative guide.

This PDF is a useful beginner's guide for digital journaling and the Netgalley Reading journal. It is well organized and useful tool to help anyoneget started.

This guide is so needed. I loved the reading journal with NetGalley, but as someone that does physical typically it took me a learning curve. Very helpful!

Handy user guide. In-depth instructions which helped guide me through how to access and use the book journal. Laid out to make it easy to understand.

This was a very informative free resource. I found the instructions plenty detailed for both Xodo and Goodnotes, and the links were both active and helpful.

This is a helpful guide! I was struggling with the journaling apps and this helped. It even gave multiple app options and the guidance for both.

I love that this resource exists & will be using it for my 2025 reading goals & beyond!
I have yet to dig into this resource guide fully, but upon skimming it I can already tell it answers majority of the questions that I had when downloading the journal portion of this project. I saw in other reviews that this is something that NetGalley has put together yearly, or at least since 2024 which I greatly appreciate. I hope that NetGalley will continue to make resources like this in the future for their readers!

A really useful, comprehensive and clear user guide to the NetGalley reading journal… thank you so much NetGalley!!!
