Shelves, Series and Bringing Your Goodreads Library Across

Unlimited custom shelves, series tracking that knows which book is next, and a Goodreads CSV import that keeps your ratings and dates.

The four that come as standard

Reading, Want to Read, Finished, and DNF. That last one is the one other apps are shy about, and it is quietly the most useful: a record of what you abandoned is the strongest signal you have about your own taste.

Unlimited custom shelves

Beyond status, shelves are yours to invent — book club, owned but unread, comfort rereads, 2026 project. Most people end up with one shelf that organises everything and three they made once and forgot, and that is fine.

Series tracking

The single most useful thing for anyone reading fantasy or crime: which book you are on, which comes next, and whether you have got the order right. It removes the most common reading mistake there is — starting book three by accident.

Bringing Goodreads with you

Export the CSV from Goodreads and import it. Shelves, ratings and read dates come across, so a decade of reading history is not the price of switching. LibraryThing exports work too.

Why the shelf metaphor earns its keep

A list of titles is a spreadsheet. Covers on a shelf are recognisable at a glance, which is how you actually think about books — you remember the spine, not the ISBN.

Shelfies is a modern, mobile-first reading tracker with AI recommendations, progress tracking, streaks, and quotes — built to replace Goodreads and StoryGraph for readers who want a faster, prettier experience.
