Notion Reading List Template
A Notion reading list template that you can filter by status (To Read, Reading, Finished), log ratings, and capture your notes and highlights without leaving Notion. Every view — Gallery, Table, Kanban — is optimized for clarity and focus, so your reading stays structured, not scattered.
How reading list template works
This Notion Reading List Template is built for readers who want to track progress and remember what they read, not just store book titles. It gives you a clean, functional database where you can log every book, article, or paper you encounter. You can record the author, genre, completion date, rating, and personal notes, then view your entire reading journey at a glance.
You can also save memorable quotes, highlight favorite sections, or tag items for future reference. Whether you’re a student tracking academic papers, a professional curating industry articles, or a casual reader keeping a yearly goal, the template adapts to your habits.
The layout includes quick filters for reading status, year, or topic — plus a progress bar showing how far you are toward your reading goals. Everything is customizable, from categories to color tags. It’s a simple, distraction-free way to turn your reading into a habit you can measure and enjoy.
