James reckons with his new life: navigating the fallout from his injury, working in slough house, and coming to terms with emotions he never allowed himself to feel.

With this template, tracking your recent reads, making TBR lists, and saving your favourite fanfiction is simpler than ever.
Perfect for readers, book collectors, and anyone who finds solace in the written word, this reading tracker helps you transform your reading experience into a little cozy adventure.
MY FAVOURITE FEATURE — you can now create a digital database for your physical bookshelves, and get detailed insights into the genres you like to read (or buy) the most. With big shelves, there's always the possibility of forgetting about some of your books, especially if you double-stack them. Now you can easily search up a title in the database and see if you own it or not!
Sometimes you need the book equivalent of a big blanket. Is there a name for the subgenre "sort of quiet books revolving around the home, chores, farming, old-school witchery or a connection with/knowledge of nature; with a strong, small-scale sense of place?" Anyone know what I mean? Please contribute with reblogs if you have any recommendations!
