I love that layout and design of this journal. This is something I definitely wish I found sooner, but I'm glad I have it now and can have a little more fun with keeping track of the books I've read.

Great if you’re wanting to start a book journal, this will give you a taste and make you want to do your own thank you netgalley

I have downloaded both journals, this and the previous one. I really like the colour palate. The journals are longer than I expected, which would make printing them a bit bothersome, but I do appreciate that they can be filled out online.

Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for this wonderful Journal. I have been enjoying it, using it and am so glad I was able to experience such a great way to journal my books and reading.

This is an easy to navigate journal and includes spots to record Important info related to the books read throughout the year. I do find it a bit of pain to transport the star ratings and photos of book covers onto the journal and I also wish that the document itself was editable so you could text on it directly in each section without having to put additional textboxes on it that tend to not be even

This is my second year using the NetGalley/We Are Bookish Reading Journal. I greatly prefer the more intense colors of the Sunset Palette (over the previous year's journal).

There are only two changes I might suggest, if there is ever to be another incarnation:

—the log pages (currently 4 x 3) be switched to a looser 3 x 3 layout. I often have a hard time fitting the title and author (at least) in the space provided.

—the stickers be included in the Reading Journal, as opposed to being a separate file

Thanks again for a lovely, useful tool. I use mine daily.

⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (3.5 stars)

The NetGalley Reading Journal is a beautiful and functional tool for readers looking to deepen their connection with the books they devour. I loved the clean, accessible layout and the thoughtful prompts designed to help readers reflect more intentionally on their reading experiences. It definitely sparked new ideas for how I can evolve my own journaling practices, and for that alone, I found real value in it.

However, while I appreciated its foundation, I couldn't help but wish it offered a little more. I would have loved to see expanded sections for specific genre notes, customizable templates for different reading goals, or even some space for creative elements like mood boards or quote collections. There’s an undeniable charm to the journal, but it left me wanting — as if it brushed the surface of something greater without diving all the way in.

Overall, this journal is a solid starting point for readers who want to get more intentional about documenting their book journeys. If you're looking for inspiration and structure, it's a lovely companion — just know it might not fully satisfy those of us who dream a little wilder when it comes to capturing our literary adventures.

A thoughtful digital gift from NetGalley: a book tracking journal, especially crafted for NetGalley statistics, and with templates for a couple of popular reading challenges. The style is not for me, but it’s one with mass appeal, as I see many people share reading journals in this format, design, and colour way. It can be printed out, or even more easily used on a tablet with no additional tools like glue to add in book covers — and since it was crafted with no set time period, it can be used indefinitely.

A useful tool to help keep track of you reading. Love the design, and the colour options. Now there's no excuse to not keep track of you reading ( though I'll probably find one) Thanks to We Are Bookish for this book.

This reading journal is a lot better than I anticipated it to be. I'm so glad I already have Goodnotes so that makes things a lot smoother.. Thank you so much for this tool to make my reading more organized and help me track my reads through the year.

this was a great template to use to keep track. Thank you. It was the first time using a template to keep track and this was very helpful.
I have now gotten another reading journal to continue to keep track of my progress, I will continue to use parts of this as well.

Good! Thanks! Used for the year. I don't know what else to write. I liked that there were stickers you could use with it.

Really helpful and fun. I enjoyed these templates and things a lot. I hope NetGalley will come up with more fun journals like this because they are very hopeful for readers and librarians and I really appreciated how it managed to help me organise my reads for last year and this year as well I’m going to use it again
