This is a great way to track reading and keep an eye on my NetGalley shelf. I enjoyed last year's version but am in love with the colorful update. I use Goodnotes to edit on my iPad and it's so easy to use and update to make it your own. I love the stickers and how easy it makes it to pull in photos of the covers. Printing individual images can get very overwhelming to keep up with the journal

I love this and think it’s a great resource for readers and reviewers like myself. It helps make reading more enjoyable and memorable due to being able to document what we read. It is extremely helpful for when it’s time to recap the years reads. Thank you for providing this !

As someone who loves using a physical reading journal, this is probably the best digital journal I have used! It is extremely easy to use, colorful, and has everything formatted well. I especially love the trackers and challenges included! Thank you NetGalley for this PDF journal, I am looking forward to continuing using it!

Happy belated holidays! I love reading journals and I have noticed Netgalley doing social media ones like on insta for people to use as a story to post reviews, galley requests, and spread bookish cheer! KEEP THESE COMING WE ARE BOOKISH PLEASE! And Thank you!

I loved the color options in this journal instead of the other one. The colors were so much brighter and more warm for this one.

I love my NetGalley journal! I have been wanting one place to keep track of all of my notes on each book. This is the perfect solution.

I’ve not previously used a digital reading journal so I decided to venture into it for 2025 with the NetGalley Reading Journal. It was easy to load into my platform of choice, Goodnotes. I really like that it’s a basic journal without a ton of extra fluff and pages I won’t use. I primarily leveraged the check-in page for easy monthly summaries and the book review pages. Very easy to use overall even as a beginner!

I love digital journals and this is perfect for tracking all my NetGalley reads. It is user friendly. I use Goodnotes to utilize this journal and it is a very smooth operation. You can easily add stickers and cover photos.

I'm always grateful for these free resources - thanks NetGalley! I typically use an app to track my reading but always say I'm going to try other mediums and this is the perfect push to do so.

This is awesome. I love that it’s a notebook with tabs. I wish the cover had a brighter color for the illustration other than yellow. Maybe the persimmon color. I worry I already ruined my reputation with Net Galley by NOT doing enough reviews, but I would sincerely like to use this journal to set goals and achieve them. If offered in a print version, I would buy. If offered in a digital version I would love to figure out how to get the book covers filled in and in place. What was the publisher’s thoughts here?
It is highly usable but goal setting also feels very low stakes, and more fun, which is what I’d like my journey to be.

A great tool to help me keep track of my books, especially as I'm new in here. I actually prefer this colour palette, instead of the other one. Thank you very much for this journal.

This is such a good reading journal!!

I'm making it one of my goals of the year to keep a reading journal and this is such a good one! Most of the books I read nowadays are from NetGalley, so it's only fitting that my reading journal now is as well

Thank you very much, NetGalley!

Out of every other notebook/ journal I’ve tried this one has been the easiest and simplest to use. Even for those who aren’t tech savvy (me).
