A memory aid for avid readers.
For oneself only, or for sharing with friends and family, or with everyone.
01 / Sign up
Use Google sign-in so no need for new username/password. (Apple and Microsoft sign-in options are planned.)
02 / Zip to
No app is downloaded, so you never have to swipe and swipe to find and launch an app. it's just a web page, available on phone, laptop, desktop, tablet---anything with a web browser.
03 / Jot down
When you see a review or hear of a book that you may like to read next, note it here and it goes into your queue of to-be-read-next titles.
06 / Click
As each year's Man Booker, National Book Award, Pulitzers, and winners of other leading literary awards are announced, we will display them, and with a click you can add them to your queue.
04 / Note
Author and title are of course noted. But there also is a place for you to add notes of any length.
05 / Rate
When the book is completed, assign with a click a rating, if you'd like, before the assessment fades. When you sign up, you'll choose which of two rating formats you prefer: a five-star scale or a simple thumbs-up or thumbs-down. Or not assign ratings at all.
07 / Abandon
Some books---perhaps many books---are left by the roadside unfinished. You can designate those so they stand apart from the rest.
08 / Share
You'll have a customized URL (web link) that you can share your books to-be-read and those already read with chosen friends and family, or with the entire online world in social media, or with no one at all.
09 / Add
If you share your customized URL with others who have accounts at Tracking Reads, the lists will have a button that, with a click, adds any book to that user's queue.
10 / Move
We are developing tools so you can upload your book titles and ratings from goodreads and you will be able to also download a spreadsheet of your booktitles from Tracking Reads, too.
