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.
Such a great bonus and gift and one I will continue to enjoy.

Wow. This was incredible! I love how well thought out this journal is! I also love how there are yearly and monthly checkins.
This is really excellent for anyone wanting to take notes and journal throughout their reading journey.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing such a great journal!

I love this so much. The layout is so aesthetic and pretty. I don't do much journaling these days, but this cute set up makes me want to.

I've thoroughly enjoyed this journal the 2025 color palette is fantastic. It's been a valuable tool for keeping me on track each month, and I appreciate the visual overview of my reading progress. The high level of customization is another great feature. I'll absolutely be using it again in 2026!

Thank you NetGalley for this guide and keepsake for the whole year! It helps to keep track of what we're reading in a fun way.

This is such an incredibly fun journal to use as an avid reader! I will always be grateful for items like this, that NetGalley designs, and offers out to their users!

I think this is a brilliant tool to use— so aesthetic and user friendly as well! I haven't had time to go through it fully, but I love the concept so much.

Love using this! Good template book. Used and helped organise my reading. Enjoyed the content as well and perfect for what I needed.

This is a good reading journal that also teaches the basics about how to use NetGalley. It's paritcularly good for those who don't have a physical journal of their own.

Always a fan, obviously. I grab this lil guy every year. So creative and useful and inspirational. Especially for the disorganized mood reader.

I'd say this journal meets expectations--at least for a beginner like me! I'm going to guess that there's not quite enough here for those who are more experienced or prefer to go in-depth. But for quick little reflections and reviews, it does its job. I don't know if I'll use this every year, but as someone just getting started and who is trying to become more organized and remember the books I'm reading better, I'm happy I am giving this journal a try.
Personally, I'd have liked more room for notes and such in the back of the pdf. And more book review pages for each month as well! But I understand why it was limited to just a few.

A great way to keep track of my reading, Will be using it lots!
Thank you to netgalley for approving me to be able to use it.

The book planner needs to be more streamlined and have better linkages between sections to make it smoother, more cohesive, and more interactive.

A reading journal template with prompts and ideas to make reading more fun, provided by We Are Bookish.
Updated from last year with a new color palette!
This gives a monthly template to record Netgalley books you read, as well as a place to share yearly reflections and goals, as well as games like bingo to motivate readers to expand their taste and try something new. Would recommend reading the accompanying User Guide to use journal to the fullest.
Thanks to Netgalley and We Are Bookish!

This is a pretty good reading journal. It really helps you keep track of all the books you've read, reviewed and etc. I found it to be quite helpful. I recommend it to other book lovers and of course the colour scheme is also beautiful. Thanks for the journal NetGalley.

I didn't think I needed to leave a review but this was nice to use during my readathon month. I will use it again in May.

I wasn’t sure if I would use this journal or not. I challenged myself to start using it to track my books. The more I used it the more I wanted to use it. Great way to track you books and your reading challenges.

The NetGalley Reading Journal is such an amazing and fun tool for any book lover looking to stay organized and inspired throughout the year. Also, it feels like a warm thank-you gift from a community that truly values and supports readers.

This is a good standard reading journal. It’s not the most fully featured journal I’ve ever seen, but perfect for a more minimalist but not basic option.
I’d recommend this to a friend looking for a reading journal.

This was a fun reading journal! I appreciated being able to track the books I read with it. Thanks We Are Bookish for this cute journal.
