Reading Challenge & TBR Starter
Every reader has a to-be-read pile and a stack they actually finished. This free starter is a single tab to hold both: list the books on your radar, mark the ones you finish, and rate them out of five while the book is still loud in your head. It comes with a taste of five reading-challenge prompts to nudge your reading a little wider. Download it, fill it in, and keep it — no account, no signup.
Take it with you — free, no signup
Direct download. No email, no account — just the files.
What it does
- A single tab where you list your to-be-read pile and mark each book TBR, Reading, or Finished, with format and status dropdowns.
- Rate the ones you finish out of five, and a little summary keeps a running count of books logged and finished.
- Comes with a taste of five reading-challenge prompts — the full version has thirty that count themselves.
- 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 the whole reading year, not just a list?
This free starter is one tab. The full Reading Challenge & TBR Tracker adds a prioritized TBR queue, a self-counting 30-prompt reading challenge, a 5x5 reading-bingo card, a rated Finished Books log, a shareable Wrap-Up dashboard, and three PDF guides — in one owned 6-tab workbook for Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice, with a one-click Google Sheets copy.
A one-time purchase you keep and reuse every reading year — the owned workbook between a blank spreadsheet and a rented reading app.
A personal reading log, not professional or purchasing advice. The example books are fictional and illustrative — not real recommendations. Free to use; please don't resell or redistribute.
