“Wrap up” the books you read each month in one easy, shareable image, complete with personal ratings and progress on your reading challenge. Save your wrap-ups to look back on at the end of the year or share with friends. Then get back to reading! New wrap-ups become available the last week of each month and stay open one week into the next month. Note: To generate your wrap-up, the app automatically pulls the current month’s reads from your Goodreads or StoryGraph accounts. At this time, Reading Wrap-Up is not able to generate wrap-ups for other book logging apps. By using this app, you agree to Reading Wrap-Up’s Terms of use (https://tuckersaude.com/apps/terms.html) and Privacy Policy (https://tuckersaude.com/apps/privacy-policy.html).
