THE STORY BEHIND THE STATS
You read the books.
Now read yourself.
Not another reading goal to fall behind on. A small celebration of where your curiosity took you — with a keepsake, a few lovely cards, and room for your own words.
Find your point of view.
Choose a year, a palette and a title. Add the thought that numbers can’t capture.
Take it off the screen.
Download a share card, print your magazine to PDF and keep your reading tracker.
YOUR PERSONAL READING STUDIO
Let’s open your chapter.
Every story starts somewhere.
Bring the books you’ve finished, not a perfect reading record.
Where do I find my export?
Goodreads: open My Books → Import and Export → Export Library on the Goodreads website.
StoryGraph: request your library export in your account settings, then choose the downloaded CSV.
Supported columns are detected automatically. Check dates, reading status and any warnings after import. No login credentials are needed.

THE SMALL PRINT, IN PLAIN ENGLISH
A few answers.
Is Shelfsona free?
This launch preview is free, including card downloads, the printable magazine and the CSV tracker. There is no active paid plan on this site.
Where does my reading history go?
Your CSV and reading project are processed in your browser. We do not upload your library or send it to an AI model. It is not automatically saved: download a project backup before leaving. The hosting provider still processes normal connection information when serving this website.
Does it work with Goodreads and StoryGraph?
Shelfsona recognises common CSV export columns from both services. Export formats can change: always review the imported books and warnings. You can also add books manually. Shelfsona is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Goodreads or The StoryGraph.
Why are some books missing from my year?
Only finished books with a valid completion date in the selected year appear in the recap. Undated books stay in your library so you can add a date. Missing ratings are left out of averages; missing page counts are not estimated.
Can I come back to my project?
Yes. Choose Save project in Keep & share. Next time, choose Restore project and select that JSON file. Closing this page without saving loses the current session.
How do I make the PDF?
Choose Print / save magazine as PDF, then select Save as PDF in your browser’s print dialog. Allow the print window if your browser blocks it. For the full design, enable background graphics and turn off browser headers and footers.
