I really appreciate the free digital reading journal! I love using it on my iPad, it's very easy to use and has lots of options :)

This was a really great resource with a lot of helpful pages for book tracking! I was especially appreciative of the ways to track whether or not you've reviewed a book, considering it is a NetGalley resource.

Thank you to #WeAreBookish and #NetGalley for offering this useful tool. The download to Goodnotes was an easy process. I look forward to exploring using this handy tool for tracking my reading experiences. I appreciate the option of two color scheme choices for this journal.

Thank you, Netgalley and We are Bookish, for the ARC. This reading journal was easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing. I am excited to start using it and continue to use it next year.

I really love having this to keep track of my reading. I really appreciate NetGalley making it available to us. Thank you!

This is amazing. I played around with it for a couple of hours in Goodnotes and am super excited to start using it!

I love these reading journals that netgalley releases each year. They are extremely useful and fun to use throughout the year!

For those who love their stats as much as they love their books, this is a helpful and elegantly designed digital journal to help all NetGalley community members keep track of their reading list, ratio and goals. With extra options to customise, such as stickers and select quotes for favourite reads, this is sure to be a valuable tool and something fun to look back on once the year is complete.

This is a great tool for thinking about your reading journey. I have been meaning to get into journaling so I do foresee myself pulling out pieces that will help me become a better reader and reviewer.

This was super helpful and a great resource to customize my reading journal! I have been looking for a layout that worked for me and my inconsistent mood reading. I think this may have cracked the code.

I like this, I think it would be easier if I had the software to be able to edit a PDF, or a printer. Otherwise though, the layout I like, it's clear and concise and I can see that it would be user friendly with the right software/printer. A good way to journal a reading journey!

5/5⭐
I found this journal by a coincidence. But I am so happy I did.
The journal is so well thought! It really helps with tracking down reading stats and also with the book reviews and keeping all in a verywell organized space.
I love it!

This is a really cool digital reading journal. I like the design a lot. I just can't make it work for me. By the time I got it downloaded and ready to edit, I could tell there was going to be so much copying and pasting that I don't see the need for this now. I like to read, and I'm happy to provide reviews. It seems like it would be very time-consuming to keep up with progress every month. I just want to read.
Thanks to NetGalley for providing this journal.

As someone who lives half their life in spreadsheets, trackers, and cute bookish templates, I can confidently say this NetGalley Reading Journal is *chef’s kiss* for any reviewer or ARC-obsessed reader.
This planner is a genuinely functional toolkit for keeping your reading life organised and reflective. You’ve got space for everything: yearly goals, monthly wrap-ups, detailed review pages, habit trackers, challenges (the A–Z and NetGalley Bingo are so clever), and even spots to track audiobooks separately. The “Best of the Year” and “Reading Reflections” sections are staples for looking back at your reading journey.
Visually, it’s clean and easy to navigate, with plenty of room to customise with stickers, washi etc and I especially love how it’s tailored for NetGalley users. The built-in prompts for tracking your feedback ratio and publication dates make it so much easier to stay on top of ARCs (no more last-minute panic because a review is due tomorrow). If you’re someone who loves combining aesthetics with accountability, this is such a satisfying way to keep all your bookish life in one place. It makes me want to read more just so I can fill it in.
Perfect for: ARC reviewers, BookTokers, book bloggers, and anyone who wants to bring a bit of structure (and joy) to their TBR chaos.

Great starter book journal. it anyone is looking for something digital and convenient this is a nice option.

The Netgalley Reading Journal has been one of the best tools I've used this year! It has helped me organize my thoughts in a format that's both fun and informative! Thank you, Netgalley!

I am currently using and I love how simple it is plus the stickers are super cute. Thank you NetGalley for creating these reading journal.

This is a great resource for organizing and keeping track of reading. Surpassed my expectations and is better than other reading journals I've seen and seems easy to use so far. I will definitely be recommending it to fellow library staff that use NetGalley. Thank you!

This is a great starter journal for anyone looking to get into reading and reviewing books. I like the list format, the TBR section. I like that the reviews section was simpler than more complex reading journals.
