Reading History

With CLZ Books you can track your Reading History for each book, with multiple read sessions, each having Start and End Dates, Reading Status, Reading Progress and Reader fields.

In the Edit Book screen, you will find a tab called “Read History“, that lets you:

• Track multiple read sessions, with their own dates.
• For each session, enter not only the End Date, but also the Start Date.
• Track the Reading Status (Finished, Reading or Dropped).
• Track your Reading Progress, that is, the number of pages read out of the total number of pages.
• And finally, track the Reader, that is who read the book. Great for tracking the reading of your family members too.

*Use the folder feature to group by Reader, Reading Status, Reading Year, Reading Month, or Reading Date to get a nice overview of which books you or someone else in your family is reading, has read or dropped, for each period. Also, use theSort Option “Last Read” to sort your books by the last date you read them.

The full Reading History is shown in its own section in the book details panel:

You can use the + button next to the eye at the top of the details panel to register an extra Read event!

Automation settings for starting or finishing Reading event

You can set up smart automation settings for when you start or finish a reading event. Open the menu (top left) and go to Settings to find them.

You can set this up precisely to what you like CLZ Books to do when adding a new Reading event, or when you set one to Finished. For example, you can let it auto-fill an end date when you set a reading event to “Finished”.
