I love this journal. It helps me hold myself accountable for the books I read, books I don’t finish, and everything in between. I also love referencing my notes during book discussions.

Everything we loved about last years edition but with a really beautiful new color story. I’m loving using this for my reads this year!

As an avid reader and frequent NetGalley user, I was excited to try the NetGalley Reading Journal. It promises to be a dedicated space for tracking requests, reviews, and overall reading experience.
It provides a much-needed structure for managing ARCs and encourages thoughtful engagement with the books. While there's room for improvement in terms of customization and digital integration, the journal's benefits outweigh its drawbacks. If you're looking to streamline your NetGalley experience and deepen your reading practice, this journal is definitely worth considering. It's a great way to stay organized, reflect on your reading, and ultimately become a more thoughtful and effective reviewer.

This is a great resource for journaling about the books I’ve read and the ones I want to read. This is the best journal I have come across.
I would recommend this journal to everyone.
I want to thank NetGalley and We Are Bookish for this great resource.

This is a very helpful resource. Versatile and interesting. Easier if you are tech savvy.
You can record many details in this.

I just downloaded this onto my ipad and best decision ever. It is so easy to add my books and my reviews to.

Thank you for creating and sharing this Reading Journal! It has been incredibly helpful and a valuable resource.

Perfect! Thank you! It's everything you could want in a reading journal! I love the layout and the simplicity of it. I also appreciate the addition of the sticker links.

I don’t honestly have any idea how to effectively use this so I’m giving it mid stars just because I don’t know exactly what I’m supposed to do with it. I don’t think NG should have us rate these in the same place as regular books

So far, I am loving the new colors and reading challenges! I’m still learning to navigate Goodnotes, but I do wish there was an option for landscape view.

This was a fun and unexpected gift! I liked the colour scheme on this version more than the previous one. I've never used a journal like this before and I think I would have much preferred it to be a paper copy but it's an interesting idea all the same.

Just grabbed the new 2025 updates. Will add to my Notes app and check them out. Thanks NetGalley. :)

Thank you! I love this journal and I am able to put it on my Ipad and use it with different programs! Defintiely recommend and Thank you soo much!

Trying this again! It's a little overwhelming for a non-techie like myself, but I am curious to play around with it and see what I can come up with. Looks like a lot of fun!

What a wonderful way to move to a digital Reading Journal. I have used physical book up until now.
Thanks for the wonderful tool

I did not realize the journal needed to be reviewed!! but I always love a free journal! I will use this since I love digital journal's

I love this journal!! I now keep a digital reading journal, thanks to NetGalley. I would love to keep using this; it has everything I want!

Thank you NetGalley for putting out this wonderful reading journal again. It's a fantastic tool that makes planning out my reading plan and reviewing much easier. I cannot wait to continue using this tool throughout 2025.

Thank you so much Netgalley for the journal! I really need to use a system to keep track of my e-arcs and this will be perfect to start with :)

Thank you for creating a variatey of options, love the alternative colour lay. Look forward to keep using it through out the year :)
