About this tool

There is nothing quite like reading by candlelight on a crisp autumn evening — and a quiet companion beside your book that keeps every session without you having to file anything.

This planner is a session-by-session reading companion rather than a log of finished books. Start a new one each time you settle in with a book.

Current Read tracks the title, author, genre and start date, with a page tracker for current page, total pages and a bar to shade in as you go.

Reading Goals gives you six lines for your intentions, and Favorite Quotes is an open space to copy down passages as you read them, while they are still in front of you.

Reading Atmosphere is nine pre-labelled tick boxes plus a line of your own — cozy and warm, quiet and peaceful, soft music, candlelight, rainy day, sunny and bright, outdoors, with a hot drink, with a blanket — for capturing the conditions that made a session good.

To-Read Next queues five books, and Reflections closes with a guided prompt, a star row and a would-I-recommend box with room for why.
