Use a Reading Timeline to See Your Progress Over Time

2 minutes read

A book list shows what you have read. A reading timeline helps you look back at when that reading happened. MyBibliotheca’s calendar brings together dated reading sessions and book milestones so you can revisit a month or find a particular stretch of reading.

A day can appear because you started, finished, or marked a book as DNF, or because you logged a reading session. Imported reading dates also appear in history, even if you did not import a separate session. The timeline records dates you entered or imported; it does not guess how many pages you read based on a finish date.

Search your history and move through months

Browse to the previous or next month, jump to a month from the selector, and filter the history by book title, author, or year. Select an entry to open its book page and see the reading details.

Put midnight in the right place

A late evening session can fall on a different calendar day depending on where you are. Choose the timezone that matches where you read in Settings. Reading streaks count days with a reading log, whether the log contains pages, minutes, or both. If you already have a streak when you join, you can carry in a starting streak separately from your real sessions.

The timeline, session history, timezone, and streak count work together while keeping the record explicit: the app uses saved dates and session metrics rather than inventing them.

Reading statistics are satisfying, but they are more meaningful when you can see the sessions behind them. If you like analyzing your reading and want a more detailed day-to-day record, MyBibliotheca offers a StoryGraph alternative focused on progress, individual sessions, and notes attached to the books you read. Sign up free and start with the library you already have.

From yearly totals to individual sessions

A year-end total cannot show whether you read a few pages each evening, listened during a long drive, or returned to a book after a break. MyBibliotheca lets you log reading sessions with page progress or listening minutes, then revisit that activity in your reading history. That gives you a more grounded view of your routine than a finish count alone.

Audiobook readers can record listening time and position, while readers who use an e-reader can connect KOReader progress sync. Highlights and notes can live alongside the related book as well, reducing the number of separate places you need to check when you want to remember a passage.

Keep your existing books

You can import a supported library CSV, review the detected books, and then continue tracking in MyBibliotheca. Import your library before creating a new collection by hand. For compatible readers, the KOReader progress guide explains how syncing works; highlights have a separate KOReader guide.

Pick the level of detail you want

The right StoryGraph alternative depends on what you want to learn from your reading data. If session history, audiobook activity, and book-linked notes matter to you, create a free MyBibliotheca account and build a record that reflects the way you read.
