Your Shelf

Your shelf is where all your books live, organized into three statuses.

Adding a book to your shelf

  1. Tap the + button in the top-right corner of any screen.
  2. Search by title or author name. Results come from Google Books and Open Library.
  3. Tap a result to select it. You can also tap Add Manually at the bottom of results to enter a book yourself.
  4. Set the book's status: TBR, Currently Reading, or Finished.
  5. Add a rating, review, dates, genres, and any notes. Tap Save.

Moving a book between shelves (TBR → Reading → Finished)

  1. Tap the book on your shelf to open its detail view.
  2. Tap Edit.
  3. Change the Status field to the new shelf.
  4. Tap Save.

Keeping a book entry private

  1. Open the book entry and tap Edit.
  2. Turn the Public toggle off.
  3. Tap Save. The entry will only be visible to you — it won't appear in the community feed or on your public profile.

Removing duplicate books after a Goodreads import

  1. Go to Settings (hamburger menu in the top-left).
  2. Under Data, tap Remove Duplicates.
  3. Paiges will show you every duplicate it found. Tap Remove to keep the best copy of each and delete the extras.

Reading Log & Streak

Log pages or chapters each day to build your reading streak and track your progress.

Logging your reading for today

  1. Go to Profile (hamburger menu → Profile).
  2. Tap Log Today.
  3. Select the book you read, then enter the number of pages or chapters.
  4. You can log multiple books in one day — tap Add Another Book to add more.
  5. Tap Save. Your streak and stats will update automatically.
Your reading streak increases each day you log at least one session. Missing a day resets it.

Editing or viewing past reading sessions

  1. Go to the hamburger menu and tap Reading Log.
  2. This shows a journal-style table of all your finished books by year, with start date, finish date, and rating.
  3. For a detailed day-by-day history, tap Reading History in the hamburger menu.
  4. Tap any past entry to edit it.

Goodreads Import

Paiges imports directly from your public Goodreads profile — no file download or export needed.

How to import your Goodreads library

  1. Make your Goodreads profile public. In the Goodreads app, go to the person icon → Settings → Account Settings → Privacy → set your profile to Public.
  2. Copy your Goodreads profile link. In the Goodreads app, tap the person icon → tap your name or profile photo → tap the three dots (···) or Share → tap Copy Link. Your link will look like: goodreads.com/user/show/12345678
  3. In Paiges, open the hamburger menu → Settings.
  4. Tap Import from Goodreads.
  5. Paste your link and tap Find My Books.
  6. Paiges shows a preview of your Read, Currently Reading, and Want to Read shelves. Tap Import to bring them all in.
After your first import, Paiges saves your connection and auto-syncs every 24 hours when you open the app. You can also tap Sync Now in Settings anytime.

Import says "No books found"

  1. This almost always means your Goodreads profile is still set to Private. Double-check: Goodreads app → Settings → Account Settings → Privacy → Public.
  2. Confirm your link looks like goodreads.com/user/show/12345678.
  3. Try copying the link again fresh from the Goodreads app's Share button.

Some books didn't import

  1. Books already on your Paiges shelf are skipped automatically to prevent duplicates.
  2. Only your three main Goodreads shelves are imported — Read, Currently Reading, and Want to Read. Custom shelves are not included.
  3. For any missing books, use the + Add Book button to add them manually.

Adding Friends

Follow other readers to see their public activity in your Community feed.

How to find and follow readers

  1. Tap the hamburger menu (☰) in the top-left corner.
  2. Tap Find Readers.
  3. Type a person's name or username — the search checks both.
  4. Tap Follow next to their name.
Following on Paiges is one-way, like Twitter. You don't need them to follow you back to see their activity.

Can't find someone

  1. Try searching by their display name if their username doesn't show up, or vice versa.
  2. Ask them to share their exact username from their Profile → Edit Profile screen.
  3. If you follow someone but don't see their books in your feed, they may have all their entries set to Private.

Books & Covers

A book isn't showing up in search

  1. Try searching by author name only, or shorten the title.
  2. If it still doesn't appear, scroll to the bottom of search results and tap Add Manually.
Indie, self-published, and very recently released books may not be in Google Books or Open Library. Add Manually is the best fix for these.

Cover image is missing or incorrect

  1. Tap the book to open it, then tap Edit.
  2. Tap the cover image at the top of the edit screen.
  3. Choose Upload Photo to pick an image from your Camera Roll.
