What's in the Book Tracker Spreadsheet

Your goal + your pace

Books finished this year against your goal, and whether you're ahead or behind the pace to reach it by December.

A Dashboard that calculates

Pages read, your average rating and your average days per book, with charts. All pulled, nothing typed.

My Library for 400 books

Log a book and days to read and pages a day fill themselves in.

Currently Reading

Type the page you're on and it tracks the percent complete.

TBR List

A 200-book wishlist with priority and what it would cost.

Series Tracker

Owned vs read for each series, and which book is next up.

Stats

Genre, format, rating and monthly breakdowns. Formats are Physical, eBook and Audiobook.

This year + all time

Set the year once: yearly stats count only that year's books, while all-time records like total pages and longest book keep counting everything.

Set up in two minutes

  1. Set up in two minutes: the Start Here tab of the book tracker spreadsheet on a laptop, where you type your reading goal and the year, with how to use each tab and the color legend
    Set your goal and the year

    Type them once on the Start Here tab.

  2. Log a book and it fills in the rest: a reading log on a tablet with title, author, genre, pages, status and star rating, plus days to read and pages a day that the book tracker spreadsheet works out for you
    Log your books

    Days to read and pages a day fill themselves in.

  3. One dashboard that does the math: the reading dashboard of the book tracker spreadsheet on a laptop, showing your reading goal, books finished, pages read, average rating, books read per month, genres and recently read
    Read your Dashboard

    Your goal, pace, pages, ratings and charts, all pulled from what you log.

Watch the how-to

The 2-minute how-to video, start to finish.

Plus the free 11-page how-to PDF guide comes with your purchase.

Room for a lifetime of reading

400 books, 200 on the TBR list, 40 series and 20 currently reading. Every total counts exactly these rows.

  • Undated: start any day of any year, and it never expires
  • The Example tab shows it working and doesn't touch your totals
  • In Excel the formulas are locked, so you can't overwrite a calculation by accident

  • A one-time purchase, no subscription

How you get it

  • Buy direct: right after you pay, you land on your download page with the spreadsheet and the guide.

What you need

Good to know

  • Google Sheets removes the cell protection when it imports the file, so in Sheets every cell is editable.

  • A book typed below the last row isn't counted.
  • It's a digital download. Nothing is shipped.
