Aesthetic Book Tracker – free Notion Aesthetic Book Tracker template
Manually updating a “pages read” number every time you pick up a book gets old fast — this free Notion Aesthetic Book Tracker template calculates your progress automatically and gives every title a home on a custom bookshelf instead of one long undifferentiated list.
What’s inside:
- A Books database with a reading progress formula that auto-updates a live progress bar based on current page vs. total pages
- A “Mark as Finished” button that stamps the finished date and updates status in one click, no manual field editing
- A linked Bookshelves database connected by relation, letting you group books into custom shelves like Productivity, Business, or Mindfulness
- A rollup property that automatically tallies how many books sit on each shelf
- Detail fields for author, genre, format (physical, eBook, audiobook), star rating, start/finish dates, page count, and cover image
- Five built-in views: Reading List (queue), Currently Reading (gallery with progress bars), To Read (wishlist), Bookshelves (visual gallery), and Library (full sortable collection)
Who it’s for: readers, students, and anyone building a personal library or yearly reading challenge who wants their progress tracked automatically instead of updated by hand.
Why we picked it: the bookshelf rollup and relation setup is the real differentiator — most reading trackers are a single flat database, while this one lets you organize books into actual curated shelves that count themselves, closer to how a real bookshelf works than a spreadsheet does.
