Reading Planner & Tracker Spreadsheet

Awesome Reading Planner & Tracker Spreadsheet to Sell!

Here’s a product that is perfect for those who love reading and want to remember all the books they’ve read and loved for years to come.

Keeping a record is a great way for readers to transform a love of books into an organized, enriching experience where they can instantly see what they’ve already read and the books on their growing to-be-read pile.

This spreadsheet holds all the information a reader needs in one place – favorite books and authors, quotes, cover pics, and personal ratings.

Whether they want to recommend a book they’ve read to others or work out where they are in a series an author hasn’t finished yet, they’ll find all the information they need.

With its easy-to-use interface and user-friendly design, they’ll be able to organize their reading in no time.

You can use the spreadsheet yourself if you’re a keen reader, but it also comes with PLR commercial rights so you can edit it as you wish (instruction booklet included) and sell it in your store.

 

How Does the Reading Planner & Tracker Spreadsheet work?

The spreadsheet uses the free Google Sheets app that people can access on any device.

Customers enter details of their books to set up the basic data. There is space for 500 books which can be extended by sellers using the instructions included.

Extensive lists of reading genres and subgenres are pre-populated but these can be tailored by users if they wish.

Readers mark their progress for different formats on the reading logs and see the status of the books they are reading or listening to.

Once a book has been read, they can add a rating for a number of different criteria (which can be easily tailored by the user) and the system will calculate their overall rating.

There’s an overview screen which shows a summary of the data overall or by year and month. The spreadsheet can be used over many years. It’s currently set up for all the years up to 2030 and instructions for extending beyond that are included.

Customers can use the dedicated sheets to add their personal favorites and favorite quotes.

A reading challenge sheet with over 50 challenges has also been included. Customers can edit this if they wish.
