Looking for a creative way to track your reading for the year? Introducing the NetGalley Reading Journal! 

The NetGalley Reading Journal is a free digital PDF that you can download, edit, and customize to track your reading. There are pages to write reviews, participate in reading challenges, track habits, and more!

How do I use a digital reading journal?

Experienced digital journalers can download their journal and upload it to the app of their choice.

For readers new to the digital journaling space, we recommend first consulting the User Guide for the NetGalley Reading Journal. This short PDF offers an overview of the free apps we recommend using to edit your journal (Goodnotes and Xodo), insight into why we prefer using a tablet device, and helpful answers to common FAQs!

Is the journal customizable?

Yes! You can duplicate and upload new pages, fill in the prompts in the ways you need or interpret them, and (our favorite part) use our free sticker bundles to add personality to every page.
