Reading companion - Template

The all in one Reading Companion template for Notion.

It enables you to track your book’s progress, calculate the cost spent based on genre, with a 5 star rating system and a gallery view to see the books you have bought and read.

A detailed explanation for those features are below,

1. Visual progress bar

Shows the progress made on reading the book based on the pages read and pages left/total pages.

All you have to do is to give the property titled ‘Total pages’ the number of pages of a book and the number of pages finished in the property titled ‘ Pages read’.

Using formulae it calculates the percentage and by slice function it gives you a sweet visual progress bar.

2. Book shelf

This is the database where you will input all the data needed to track the book.

Also displays a lot of properties that will be of use in other pages and views.

3. Genre view

This view is a Kanban board view that shows the books distributed based on genre.

It also gives you the cost sum-up of the books for that genre only. Helps you to better understand your spending on different genres.

4. Gallery view

This is the aesthetic space of the template.

In this view your book covers will be displayed on the page’s preview.

However, you have to manually input the covers of the book in the property titled covers. It can be found in the book shelf page.

5. Categories

There are two spaces,

One is the all time best and the other is recent ones.

The all time best category contains the books that have been five star rating.

The recent ones contains the books of 2022. You can change the filter to show your own preferred timeline.

Those are the main features.

Hope you like it!
