My Books vs My Read
My Books shows all your planned and currently-reading books — switch between bookcase view and card view with the toggle in the header. My Read is your trophy case — finished books live here. My Wishlist is your "someday" list, styled like a paper notebook.
Adding books
Tap + add book in My Month. Search by title or author and Open Library fills in the cover, author, and details automatically. If a book isn't found, tap "add manually". You can also add directly to My Wishlist!
🔥 Features
Daily reading streak
Tap "📖 I read today!" on the Home page every day you read to build your streak. Miss a day and it resets. Your best streak is saved forever.
Finishing a book
Open a book and change its status to ✓ Read. Confetti flies! You'll get a beautiful share card you can save and post on Instagram Stories. The book then moves to your My Read trophy shelf.
Sync between devices
Go to Settings → Level 3, follow the 3-minute setup to connect your Google Sheet, and paste the Web App URL. Enter the same URL on all your devices and they stay in sync automatically.
Drag books between months
In My Books bookcase view, drag any book from one month row to another. You can also change a book's month by opening it and editing the month field directly.
