Managing your shelves and reading progress
Five shelves; one shelf per book; progress on the Reading shelf; finishing offers a review prompt.
For readers and authors · updated 2026-09-12
Your Library has five shelves: Want to Read, Reading, Completed, Did Not Finish and ARC Reads. A book lives on exactly one shelf at a time; moving it is one action from the book page or from the shelf card.
Books on the Reading shelf carry a progress percentage you can update from the library or the book page. Reaching 100 %, or tapping Finished, moves the book to Completed and offers — never demands — a review prompt.
Your library's visibility (public, followers only, private) is yours to set under Settings › Privacy.
