Absolutely love this reading journal! I’ve been looking for a digital journal for a while and this one has everything I wanted.

This is a great way to keep track of one's reading, really love the idea behind. The format, though generic, is still a needed addition. Kudos to NetGalley for coming up with such a thing!

As someone who struggles with self-motivated organization, this is a helpful tool to stay organized and keep track of books that I've read, reviews, and other book related fun!

If you’re anything like me, constantly juggling a TBR that’s more “mountain” than “pile” and struggling to remember what you thought about that one book you swear you loved last month, this digital reading journal might just be your new best friend.

I loved that the layout is clean and intuitive, with pages dedicated not only to reviews but also reading challenges, monthly check-ins, and even a habit tracker.

If you’re looking to get a better handle on your reading stats or just want to add a bit more fun and structure to your bookish chaos, I definitely recommend giving this journal a go. It’s a great way to keep your thoughts organised and your reading mojo strong.

Thank you Netgalley and We Are Bookish for this cute and handy resource.

This is a useful tool. It helps me keep on pace with the reviews I do. When I find myself reading 5 to 7 books at a time, I need a tool to help keep it all together.

The NetGalley Reading Journal is a fun, customizable way to track books, reviews, and reading goals all year long.

This is so handy! A great tool to help me keep track of my progress and has really helped me boost my reading as well: I noticed I get to my tbr list a lot faster now!

I love reading journals and this includes a lot of standard sections but directed to being a NetGalley reader. I’ll probably print this out but I’ll love updating this.

Adorable and user friendly, would recommend to anyone that uses NetGalley or really anyone that reads.

This is a fun way to track your arcs and it's very usuer friendly.. It works well on Samsung tablets

This is such a cute little reading journal! I have been in the hobby of journaling for longer than reading so this really made feel ALL the feels. While I personally love blank notebooks for reading journals so I can add and remove what I want on a whim, this digital version is totally capable of being that. You can also print this how and add it to any journal cover you want. Even a cheap binder from Walmart would do! Since, it is digital, you have the opportunity to add and subtract the pages you like best.

This reading journal comes with a lot! In the beginning you are given a "My Shelf" section which is more of a quick view of your yearly reads. Then it takes you into monthly pages. Each month gets a check-in page as well as several individual pages for you to give in-depth reviews of books. At the end of the book there are quite a few activity and wrap up pages. Including options like the A to Z challenge, a habit tracker, a Netgalley bingo board, a favorites page, and more.

Another reviewer stated they wished there was note pages to add what they wanted that wasn't available... take note: there are! The best part is they give you different note pages. Such as a blank page, college ruled and wide ruled lined, graph, dotted and a smaller dotted option. So if there is a page you wish to add on you totally can!

Thank you Netgalley and We Are Bookish for the fantastic resource!

Super complete reading journal, to be honest. I like it, I'm not sure if I'll end up using it, because my plan is to make one as a scrap journal next year, but I absolutely plan to take ideas from it! Also, love the challenges, always hard to come up with some and these ones are great.

I have a slightly unhealthy love of pretty notebooks, so this will be my first ever digital reading journal. I’m excited! (And the lovely sunset palette edition helps satisfy my need for pretty notes.)

Just a super cute and helpful guide for me to use as I begin reviewing books along my physical reading journal I've already purchased :)

The journal is detailed and provides flexible space to personalize and log books read throughout the year. I liked that I could pick my color theme. While I like that I'm able to edition the Good notes app but wish I had a more user friendly way of using the book (like making it available is an app form). Can't wait to see if we get a newer version for 2026 but If not, I'm excited to use this for a full year!

Great reading tracker. I've downloaded it and use it with my Penly app. It's very simple and easy to use, even easy to customize.

So helpful to keep track of my reads with review and star rating. Thanks for this. So helpful to keep track of my reads with review and star rating. Thanks for thisSo helpful to keep track of my reads with review and star rating. Thanks for this

So helpful!! Thank you for this resource it has made it so helpful to keep track of books and reviews. Exactly what I was looking for.

If you're like me, you've seen posts and pictures of physical reading journals-- artistic, thoughtful, and aesthetic. Unfortunately, not everyone, like myself, likes to keep a scrapbook-esque reading journal. Luckily, NetGalley provides one for you! I love the digital aspect of it-- I downloaded it into a PDF reader to fill it out as the year progresses, and it's a gratifying experience to be able to fill out pages as I complete reading goals. I'm part of a book club as well, and I plan on printing some pages for club members to fill and share! This is such a great resource. Thank you, Net Galley!
