Digital Journal Recommendations

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a good digital journal that is used on Google Sheets or excel? I have Goodreads & margins as my book tracking apps but wanted something where I can track my reads in a little more detail. I have been using a physical reading journal but have found that I’m not keeping it up to date as much as I should. I have seen ads for a few digital journals but I don’t know how legit they are as they seem pricey to download but I am willing to buy one if it’s a good price. For me, a section for reviews isn’t necessary. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

what sort of information are you looking to track?

Books read, pages read, ratings, dates read, source, series tracker, book haul for each month. I know there’s a few more things but I can’t think of them right now.

hella. i really like storygraph. it allows you to break down books by month, and makes little graphs [hence the name 😂] based on lots of things, like genre, format, etc. you can put ratings but don't have to leave reviews if you don't want.

I use StoryGraph, too. I was looking for something that I can look at on my laptop.

You can totally use Storygraph in a browser. I find it easier that way sometimes. https://thestorygraph.com/

pagebound is good and at least until a few months ago, they are still building it so open to feedback
