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. :)

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

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.

Thanks for the reading journal, it’s awesome! I will use it to log the books I want to read and the books I’ve already read!

This is a cool reading journal for NetGalley users to track with! The designs and color scheme are really cute. The user can use this journal to track their goals for feedback and number of books to read.

This is a colorful journal with lots of space for reviewing, sharing favorites, and self-reflection. I like the explanation about NetGalley and its purpose at the beginning of the journal to give readers a better understanding of how NetGalley functions.

What I am not a fan of is that there are only two ways to interface with the journal where you can document your progress directly into the document: Goodnotes app for iOS and macOS and Xodo app for Android, iOS, and Windows.


The journal is a super cute and fun idea, but it only has a couple ways to interface with the reading journal and is limited to certain readers and not available to all readers.

A fun journal for keeping track of your Netgalley reads. My only critique would be I that I wish it had an alternate layout for text only writing journals. Since I use reading journals on my Remarkable 2, I can use the journal but since logging them requires photo instead of just a space to write the titles in, it's not ideal for what I would use it for. I think if you're using this on an iPad, tablet or computer, it would be great.

A very nice little reading journal. The monthly check-ins and individual book review pages are simple, which I enjoy-- they don't feel bogged down by unnecessary inclusions or distracting graphics. The extra activities were also very nice, and I will absolutely be utilizing the habit tracker!

Even MORE beautiful than the last. I love the added vibrant colors. I am already familiar with digital Journaling and this is very nice for keeping track of specifically NetGalley reads as well as keeping track of my other reads. The short tips in the beginning of the journal are very helpful and I liked the option if extra pages with fun little reading challenges.

I usually use a digital platform to track my reading but have really enjoyed tracking my reading manually with this journal! It is visually and aesthetically pleasing, easy to follow and navigate and fun to journal in! My favorite part is the activity section! I have sent this to other readers to try and would love to try a pen/paper copy of this Reading Journal.
