Reading list template

Books as cards with author, genre, status and your rating, plus notes inside each book.

6 database rows

This is the page you get. Every block and row is editable.

What it is

A reading list is a small database of books. Each book has an author, a genre, a status (to read, reading, finished) and your rating, and opens as its own page for notes. The gallery view shows the list as a shelf of cards, the board shows what you're reading now, and the table sorts finished books by date.

When to use it

  • Book recommendations from friends get lost in your chats
  • You want notes and quotes from each book in one place
  • You'd like to see how many books you finished this year

How to use it

  1. 01

    Add a book

    Click New in the gallery, type the title and fill in author and genre. Pick an emoji icon so the card is easy to spot.

  2. 02

    Move it along

    Change the status to Reading or Finished. The board view groups books by status, so you see what's on the nightstand.

  3. 03

    Take notes inside

    Open a book to write notes under its properties. Use toggles for chapter summaries you don't need to see every time.

  4. 04

    Ask about your reading

    Use Ask your workspace with a question like "Which books did I rate 5 this year?" and get an answer with links.

Or have the AI draft your version

"Build a reading list database for a book club with properties for who suggested the book, meeting date, page count and a discussion questions section in each book page."
