## What is My Little Shelf?

A reading journal that reflects your reading.

Every book you finish goes up on a painted shelf, face out, so a year of reading looks like
something rather than reading like a spreadsheet. As the shelf fills, older books file
themselves away side-on as spines — the way a real shelf works.

WHAT YOU KEEP

Rate in half stars. Save the line worth keeping. Write the note you want to find again in a
year. Record why you saved a book in the first place, and — when it happens — why you put one
down. Setting a book aside is never treated as a failure here.

A MONTH, AS A PICTURE

Any month's reading becomes a painted scene you can share. January is a seedling garden, July
an autumn walk, December a lit library with snow going past the window. Twelve months, twelve
paintings, so a year of sharing reads as a set rather than the same picture again and again.

QUIETLY KEEPING TRACK

Set a monthly goal and watch a little shelf fill, one spine per book. Keep a streak measured
in weeks rather than days, because a book takes weeks to read and a daily streak would be
empty most days. See your year month by month, your genres, your formats, your ratings.

Every number here is counted from books actually on your shelf. 

One optional check-in on a Sunday evening asks how the book is going. That is the only
notification, it is scheduled on your phone rather than sent to it, and you can turn it off.
