Book Tracker Starter
Here's the quiet thing about being a reader: you forget. This free starter is one tab where you log a book per row — title, author, genre, format, status — and rate it out of ten. A little summary keeps a running count of what you've logged and finished. Download it, fill it in, and watch your reading year take shape.
Take it with you — free, no signup
Direct download. No email, no account — just the files.
What it does
- One row per book — title, author, genre, format, status, a rating out of ten, and a notes column, with genre/format/status dropdowns so your data stays tidy.
- Color-codes each book by status (reading, completed, did not finish) and keeps a live count of books logged and completed.
- Comes pre-loaded with a small fictional library so you can see it working, then overwrite it with your own.
- Opens in Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice — no macros, no signup, nothing saved anywhere but your own file.
Own it, don't rent it
Want your whole reading year, counted?
This free starter is one tab with a single rating. The full Book Tracker adds a live Dashboard that counts your reading year, a five-part rating (Overall, Story, Characters, World, Style), a Quotes tab, a Critic Ratings tab, a Reading Journal with weekly and monthly goals, and three PDF guides — in one owned workbook for Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice, with a one-click Google Sheets copy.
A one-time purchase you keep — the owned workbook between a blank spreadsheet and a rented reading app.
A personal reading log, not professional or purchasing advice. The example library is fictional and illustrative. Free to use; please don't resell or redistribute.
