Keep your own record of every book you read and see your 2027 reading stats fill in by themselves. This .xlsx workbook has a Books sheet with 500 rows, a Stats sheet, and a README sheet, plus a printable 52-Book Challenge sheet.

How it works: add one book per row with the title, author, format (Print, E-book, Audiobook), genre (12 genres plus Other), pages, start date, finish date, status (Reading, Finished, Did not finish, Want to read), a 1–5 rating, and notes. The Books sheet uses simple flat columns, one book per row, with a single header row. Type your 2027 reading goal on the Stats sheet and it shows books finished in 2027, pages read, progress to your goal, books and pages per month (January to December), books by genre and by format, average rating, and average days to finish. Bars made of block characters in the cells show books per month and books by genre. Only books marked Finished with a finish date in 2027 count toward the 2027 stats.

What you get: a BLANK workbook, a SAMPLE workbook filled in with invented book titles and author names, a README, and the 52-Book Challenge sheet as a low-ink PDF in US Letter and A4 sizes, with 52 numbered slots for a title and date. Every dropdown, date, and number cell shows a short help message, and dropdowns and date cells reject typed entries that don’t fit; text pasted into a cell can bypass this check. The print layout was checked as PDF; it has not been test-printed on paper.

Compatibility: Tested in LibreOffice Calc. Google Sheets not tested. Excel not tested.
