Purchase Status (bought, pre-ordered, cancelled, returned). This is great for readers on a budget! Here’s a quick rundown of its features: There is an entire spreadsheet dedicated to taking note of your bookish purchases. Review Details (review status, if the review will be posted on the blog). Other Book Details (series, readership, genre). Diversity Tags for on-page marginalized representation. Reading Details (star rating, numerical rating, release date, format, source, number of days read, month read, year read). Reading Status (to be read, currently reading, read, reread, will return to, will not finish). It’s perfect for readers who are conscious about diversifying the content that they consume. Not to toot my own horn, but my reading spreadsheet is my favorite one. The 2020 Must-Have Reader Spreadsheet consists of separate trackers for your reading, book purchasing, ARC requesting, and wishing needs. I hope you find it useful! (And if you like the spreadsheet and want to support my work, you can leave a one-time tip.) In fact, in creating this spreadsheet, I had casual readers and reviewers in mind at every step of the way. Kal’s template is perfect for the stats-minded blogger!īut for fellow lazy, low-maintenance readers like myself, the 2020 Must-Have Reader Spreadsheet might be your perfect match. In addition, I recognize my own laziness, and high-maintenance spreadsheets just aren’t sustainable for me.įor a more comprehensive reader spreadsheet with graphs and charts, I strongly recommend looking into Kal’s 2021 Ultimate Book Blogger / Reader Spreadsheet. Because I believe spreadsheets should be functional and straightforward. I don’t like adding unnecessary bells and whistles to my trackers. This spreadsheet is heavily based on my personal system for tracking my reads, reviews, and whatnot. Which I am extremely thrilled to share with all of you! After many experiments and iterations, I’ve finally created a flexible, multi-purpose spreadsheet that suits all my needs as a reader, reviewer, and book blogger. Furthermore, I find a great deal of satisfaction in making sense of the messes in my life and setting up a system that works for me. It’s no secret that I’m a massive advocate for spreadsheets and other organizational methods. Thus, a comprehensive spreadsheet is an invaluable asset for me. 
I also need to ensure that I don’t over-request upcoming titles or miss any review deadlines. For example, I need to separate my unread ARCs from the unread books on my shelf. Especially when there are sites like Goodreads that can organize your books into custom shelves.Īs a reader, book reviewer, and creator of bookish content, having a more sophisticated system for tracking and organizing my books is a must. But really, all poorly made references to Jane Austen aside, keeping track of your reading can feel like an unnecessary chore. So I took this template I found (I unfortunately forgot the source) and adjusted it to my needs so it would work better for me.It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a reader in possession of a seemingly endless to-be-read pile, must be in want of a simple, color-coded spreadsheet. Not knowing back then that this would become a great year to not go anywhere and just sit inside and read. So back to reading, somewhere late 2019 I came across a template somewhere for tracking reading habits and I thought that it could be fun to start tracking my own reading. One of the great things about Notion is that you can share templates with others to give them a headstart when they want to start building systems that work for them inside Notion. Users can connect these components to create their own systems for knowledge management, note taking, data management, project management, among others. Notion is an application that provides components such as databases, kanban boards, wikis, calendars and reminders. People that know me, know that I am quite the fan of Notion.so I use it for almost everything in my life that needs organizing or things I want to track or keep track of.įor those of you that have no idea what Notion can do, a quick wikipedia summary of Notion.
But a list of all the books I consumed this year and that I tracked in Notion. So I figured I should do my own little list, that is not a top 20 best "XYZ '' List. With the end of this interesting year approaching really quick now, the time for lists is starting again all over the web.
