A Private Reading Tracker for Books and Audiobooks

2 minutes read

A reading tracker is most useful when it reflects how you actually read. Some days you finish a chapter in print; other days you listen to an audiobook on the way home. MyBibliotheca brings those books and reading sessions into one personal library, with room for your own notes and history.

Five shelves for five reading states

Each book can sit on one of five shelves: Reading, Up next, Plan to read, Finished, or Did not finish (DNF). Up next is for the books you are likely to choose soon. Plan to read can hold the longer list. Moving a book between shelves keeps its notes, rating, and reading history with it.

Keep a useful reading record

Log a current page or percentage when you want to remember your place. Add pages read or minutes listened when you want to record a session total. Those are different kinds of information: a position answers “Where am I?” while a session total records “What did I read today?” You can save either or both.

The same library can hold page based and audiobook progress. Set the format and edition details for a book, and use Reading Timeline to revisit dated sessions and reading milestones. A late night log is assigned to the calendar day in your account timezone.

Start with the library you already have

You can add books one at a time or import a Goodreads, StoryGraph, or other CSV export. Once the library is in place, update a status as you start or finish a book, then log progress when it is helpful. There is no need to record every reading minute for the history to be useful.

MyBibliotheca libraries are private by default. You can make an optional public reading page later and choose whether it includes ratings or a streak. Private notes and your email address stay private.
