A central place to manage every book—past, present, and future with built-in reading databases.
Log new books into your tracker with just a few clicks. Capture key details like author, genre, and format—or clip them directly from Goodreads or Amazon with the Notion Web Clipper.
Mark titles as To Read, Currently Reading, or Finished, and update your Pages Read to watch live progress bars fill up. This feature keeps your momentum strong and makes it easy to stay on top of multiple books at once.
Set a yearly challenge—like 15 or 50 books—and let the template update your progress automatically each time you finish a title. Your dashboard gives you real-time motivation without manual counting.
Filter your database to highlight your best reads—whether by star rating or a custom “Favorites” tag—so you can quickly revisit the books that made the biggest impact.
Build your own searchable digital bookshelf inside Notion. With the template’s database features, you can add book covers, apply custom tags, and organize by categories or genres. The built-in search and filters make it easy to find any title in seconds.
Every book entry has space for reflections, personal notes and takeaways. Add custom headings, colorful highlight, and callout to make it stand out. Jot down your insights as you read to strengthen memory and create a personal knowledge base.
This Notion reading tracker is designed for anyone who wants to build a consistent reading habit, stay organized, and actually finish the books they start.
Automated reading progress and yearly stats – Unlike a simple spreadsheet or checklist, this template automatically calculates your reading progress and updates your yearly challenge dashboard. Whether your goal is 12 or 100 books, you’ll always know how far you’ve come without manual counting.
Aesthetic (yet minimal) reading dashboard – With visual gallery views, book covers, and personalized filters, your reading dashboard feels like a digital bookshelf that adapts to your preferences.
Built-in review and reflection system – You can write reviews, save quotes, and record personal takeaways directly inside your tracker. This makes it easy to revisit what you’ve learned and strengthens long-term knowledge retention.
Integrated with your life planner and learning system – Your reading log doesn’t live in isolation. It connects with your learning tracker, habits, and personal goals—helping you see how reading fits into your broader self-growth journey.
Here's how to start using it effectively:
Go to the Book Tracker database and add books you’re currently reading, want to read, or have recently finished. Begin with whatever's top of mind—even one or two entries is enough to start creating momentum.
When you begin reading a book, update the Date Started and log the number of pages you've read periodically. The template will automatically calculate your progress percentage and display a visual reading bar if enabled.
Use the Review/Notes section in each book entry to jot down takeaways, favorite quotes, or key ideas. You can also link each book to a detailed note page for longer reflections.
This helps with knowledge retention and makes it easier to revisit insights later.
Your dashboard brings all key views into one place, so you don’t have to jump between databases.
Each section updates automatically based on your entries, helping you stay focused without micromanaging your setup.
The built-in goal tracker lets you set a yearly target (like 30 or 50 books). As you finish books and tag them with the current year, your live progress will update in the Reading Challenge section—no manual tracking needed.
It’s an encouraging way to see your growth and stay motivated throughout the year.
