This is so so helpful for keeping me organized and maintains my goals! I have been searching for something similar for some time now but didn’t like most of the other layouts available currently on the market. I love how it is laid out and explained as well!

Thank you for the tips starting out on NetGalley.
This is my first review for NetGalley. I was gifted this Neygalley Reading Journal as part of my welcoming. If you need inspiration for your reviews this is a title worth downloading. You can also use for keeping track of your book reading journey.

Thank you! This is exactly what we all wanted and needed desperately! I can’t wait to put this bad boy to use!

Close to 1,000 people have already given a thumbs up to this resource. I now add my agreement.
Anyone who reads books from NetGalley knows how tempting it is to request a new title. After a bit, most readers have a long list and need a way to organize it. Here is the Reading Journal to the rescue.
As noted in the introduction, inside are customizable review pages, challenges, check-ins and more. Now I feel a bit more optimistic about staying on top of things in 2025.
Many thanks to NetGalley for this resource. All opinions are my own.

This is another useful resource from We Are Bookish/NetGalley. Use it in conjunction with the star rating, scrapbook, starter stickers, summer stickers and 2025 Sticker Bundle for maximum experience. Hou can also download additional bonus reading challenges and pages. This is an easy way to start your book journaling!

Another blogger recommended I download the NetGalley Reading Journal this year for the Bingo Card on it, I didn't know I was missing out on such a wonderful resource this whole time. Cannot wait to get it into my GoodNotes to begin using.

This works perfect in my Goodnotes app on my phone and on my iPad. I haven’t been able to use it on my scribe though, but I’m brand new to scribe so it might just be me.
This journal has everything I need to keep track of my many ARC books. I feel that it is much more suited for arc reading than normal reading.
All in all, I really like the simplicity and functionality of this journal.

Such a cute journal to keep track of reading with. I loved the layouts of the pages in particular the monthly check ins! I usually like to overview what I read each month but I like the option to include favorite covers, most anticipated read, and a break down on how each book was consumed is a nice touch.

This reading journal is absolutely amazing! I’ve struggled for a while to find one that truly works for me, but this one is perfect. It strikes the ideal balance between simplicity and detail, making it super easy to use while still providing enough structure to track everything I need.
If you’re looking for a reading journal that’s both functional and thoughtfully designed, I can’t recommend this one enough. It’s a fantastic tool for any reader who wants to organize their reading life without feeling overwhelmed.

I needed a reading journal for 2025!
This is well laid out and easy to use, and is an incredibly helpful resource when it comes to logging and keeping track of my 2025 reads. Thank you NetGalley for this free tool!

This a great aesthetically pleasing, well laid out, easy to use journal. Thanks NetGalley for this gift, I’m really excited to get organising!

These guides are always so well laid out and explanatory. This one is no different. Graphics accompanied by text makes this easy to really get into and understand.

I didn't know this is something I needed until I got this journal. It's soo much now, maintaining my own book journal, coloring and doodling on it. Also it came with STICKERS!!!

Absolutely perfectttt!!
I cannot stop using it and it brought me out of my reading slump since it is so fun to fill in the reviews for each book.

It's really nice to have a reading journal like this available for free. There is a lot of diversity with the review pages, the challenges,... Still I would have liked to see monthly wrap up pages in the format of a collage of the covers of the books you've read that month. Also, I find it hard to edit the journal because I'm not familiar with the two recommended apps.

Love!! NetGalley’s free reading journal is an incredibly helpful tool for book lovers and aspiring journal creators. The layouts are clean and visually appealing, offering plenty of space for tracking reading progress, thoughts, and favorite quotes. It sparked fresh inspiration for my own journaling practices and gave me new ideas for organizing my entries. Whether you’re looking to track books read, jot down reflections, or simply organize your thoughts, this journal provides a solid foundation. The easy-to-use format makes it enjoyable, and the creative freedom it offers is perfect for anyone who loves both reading and journaling. Highly recommend!

Accidentally downloaded both colors but loved them so much that I use both in goodnotes! Looking forward to journaling the year with NetGalley

Thank you! It's absolutely beautiful and a gorgeous way to keep track of my reads. I use my tablet as an agenda so this is a great way for me to track my books from wherever I am.

This journal is so pretty and I can't wait to start using it! I love all of the sticker options and other fun add-ons.

Love it! Thank you, NetGalley. I’ve saved the journal to GoodNotes and can’t wait to dive in and get started!
