What's inside
- Books: title, author, status (Want to read, Reading, Finished, Did not finish), star rating, genres, format, pages, start and finish dates, and where it came from. Every new book opens with journal prompts.
- Bookshelf gallery: cover cards with title, author, star rating and status, newest finished first. Plus a Currently reading gallery, a By status board and a Want to read list.
- Reading stats: days to finish and pages per day for every finished book.
- 2027 Reading Goal page: your goal, a live count of books finished this year with total pages and average days per book, a month-by-month plan, a 12-prompt reading challenge and a year-in-books reflection.

FAQ
What exactly do I get?
A one-page PDF with a Duplicate button that copies the template into your own Notion workspace. Keep the PDF: you can duplicate a fresh copy any time. It's a digital product, so nothing is shipped.
Does it work on Notion's free plan?
Yes. It's built with standard Notion pages, databases, views and formulas, so a free Notion account is all you need. You don't need a paid plan or any add-ons.
Can I add book covers?
Yes. Open a book, choose Add cover, then upload an image or paste a link to one. The sample books come with original covers made for the template.
Does it count my books automatically?
Yes. The 2027 Reading Goal page counts the books you've marked Finished in 2027, with their total pages and average days per book.
Can I track books I didn't finish?
Yes. Mark them Did not finish: they stay on your shelf but don't count toward your goal.
Can I customize it?
Yes. Rename any property, add genres, formats or views of your own: no formula in this template checks for an option name.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. Once it's in your workspace, it works in Notion on desktop, the web, iPhone, iPad and Android. Duplicating is quickest on a computer, and wide table views are easiest to read on a bigger screen.
Can I use it for my business?
Yes, for your own business. You can use the template for yourself, your household or your own business, and duplicate it as often as you like. Please don't share or resell the template or its link.
What if the link doesn't work, or I want a refund?
Gumroad handles the checkout, your receipt and the download. If the Duplicate link doesn't work or something isn't right, reply to your Gumroad receipt email and we'll help. Questions about refunds go the same way.
