Guide
Open your Collector’s Cabinet, understand how each reading total is calculated, and share an eight-card reading portrait.
Published 2026-08-09 · Reviewed 2026-09-07
Statistics turns your tracked books into a Collector’s Cabinet: a visual record of what you finished, what you loved, your reading rhythm, and the work still open on your desk. The current views are Overview, ARCs, Betas & Alphas, and Personal. Tap a number, chart row, cover, or record to see exactly what contributed. Tapping an author opens that author’s profile; genres, tropes, providers, publishers, formats, ratings, and statuses open the matching books.
The three period rules
All Time uses your complete history. Year and Month do not use one date for every statistic because that would make the numbers misleading:
- Collection totals use Acquired date. A book belongs to the period when it entered your library.
- Reading records use Finish date. A book acquired last year and finished this year belongs to this year’s reading portrait.
- ARC request success uses Requested date, with Acquired date only as a fallback for an older request with no request date.
Books linked as editions of the same work count once everywhere except Format Distribution, where a paperback and ebook are genuinely two owned formats.
Overview
Reading portrait shows books finished in the period, average rating from positively rated finished books, and pages from finished books with recorded length. God Tier stays visible as 6 in distributions but contributes 5 to the average.
Keeper Shelf is the highest-rated finished books in the period. On the Desk shows Currently Reading, finished books still awaiting Reviewed or Posted status, ARC deadlines due within 30 days, and overdue ARC publication dates. Finished, DNF, Will Not Read, Did Not Receive, and fully waived obligations do not remain overdue.
Cabinet completed is Finished divided by the matching owned-book reading pool. Taste Catalogue counts genre labels on finished books; one book may contribute to several genres. Reading Rhythm groups Finished books by finish month. Collection Ledger separates ARC, Personal, Beta, and Alpha books by Book type.
Cabinet Labels shows unique known authors among finished books, finished books per active finish month, the longest finished books with positive page counts, and the share of rated finished books that earned 5 or God Tier.
Ecosystem Summary links the reading page sample, top author profile, active team memberships, and saved PR tasks. TBR Adventure is a current To Read and Currently Reading snapshot. Reading Intentions is a recap of the intention settings you chose, not a calculated reading result.
ARCs, Beta and Alpha, and Personal books
These three tabs use the same calculations with a different Book type cohort. ARC-only request, provider, and deadline cards are hidden from Beta, Alpha, and Personal views.
Success Rate is Received or Approved requests divided by Requested, Received, Approved, and Did Not Receive requests in the period’s request cohort. Reading Progress is Finished divided by the matching owned pool. On the ARC tab, an owned carry-over ARC finished in the period is included. Review Progress is Reviewed or Posted divided by Finished in that same reading pool.
The All Books / Finished Only switch controls list-style cards: authors, genres, tropes, publishers, series versus standalone. All Books uses owned books by Acquired date. Finished Only uses Finished and DNF records by Finish date.
Format Distribution counts owned editions as Physical, Ebook, or Audiobook. Longest Book Journey ranks the three largest positive Page counts among Finished books. Month at a Glance combines the month’s finished books, pages, ratings, and valid reading-time sample. Reading Streak counts distinct months containing a Finished book; Books This Month uses finish dates.
Top Tropes and Top Genres count every matching label, so a multi-genre book appears in more than one row. Series versus Standalone depends on whether Series is filled. Reading Breakdown uses Reading status: Finished, Currently Reading, To Read, or DNF.
Reading Volume sums the full Page count of Finished books in the period. Average length ignores missing or zero page counts. Pages per active month divides those pages by distinct finish months. Pages per day requires at least three Finished books with Page count, Start date, and Finish date.
Rating Distribution and Spice Distribution use Finished books. Half ratings use the lower whole-number row. The averages ignore missing and zero ratings rather than treating them as zero.
Fun Reading Stats uses these samples:
- Average Spice: positive spice ratings on Finished books.
- Fastest Read and Average Days: at least three Finished books with valid Start and Finish dates.
- Peak Reading Season and Favourite Day: Finish dates.
- Five-Star Rate: 5 and God Tier divided by all positive ratings.
- Books per Month: Finished books divided by distinct finish months.
- DNF Rate: DNF divided by Finished plus DNF records in the finish-date period.
- Audiobook Time: full known audio runtime for Finished books, or listened minutes when runtime is missing.
Top Authors excludes blank and Unknown Author values and opens the author profile. Top Providers counts Received ARCs by Acquired date and Provider. Personal, Beta, and Alpha views show Top Publishers instead. Monthly Reading Trends counts only Finished books by Finish date; it no longer substitutes review or creation dates. Wishlist follows the selected All Time, Year, or Month period using Date added. It includes ARC Wishlist application status plus Personal wishlist or wanted ownership status. The card and its opened book list use the same membership as the dedicated Wishlist tab in Library, including synced Personal rows that store a helper value and its readable name separately.
If a number looks incomplete
Check the record opened from the statistic, then verify the fields that define its cohort:
- Missing from a year or month: Acquired date, Finish date, or Requested date.
- Missing from Wishlist for a year or month: Date added.
- Missing from Finished, pace, pages, or rhythm: Reading status, Finish date, Page count, and Start date for speed.
- Missing from ratings or review progress: Rating or Review status.
- Missing from taste lists: Author, Genre, Trope, Publisher, Provider, or Series name.
- Missing from ARC obligations: Book type, Application status, Publication date, Review status, and Promotion status.
Sharing
Choose Share Cabinet, then choose All Time, Year, or Month before exporting. Every card recalculates for that period using the date rules above. Switch between Story (9:16) and Post (4:5), preview all eight cards, then share or download the set. On Android, Save to device places all eight cards in Pictures/ARC Library without opening the share sheet. No AI-generated artwork is used; the cards are assembled from your live stats, book covers, typography, and active theme. A missing or unavailable cover uses the designed cover for that theme.
Choose Monthly Wrap-Up separately to share a Reading Receipt, then a Loyalty Card page, then one or more The Stack pages. The receipt itemizes finished books and totals; the stack pages pair covers with titles, ratings, and reading details. On Android, Save to device places every page in Pictures/ARC Library without opening the share sheet. Supported catalogue covers are prepared for safe export. If a store blocks its cover or no cover is available, The Stack prints your theme’s designed placeholder cover in that slot. Both formats use high-contrast parchment ink so compact captions remain readable after export. Ratings print as gold stars, and a God Tier read prints five stars plus a crown with its own totals line.
Details is an optional layer on the receipt. Turn it on to print series and number, the narrator for an audiobook, the reading span and days to finish, and spice under each book, plus Fastest Read, Formats, and Avg Spice in the totals. Your highest-rated read of the month, four stars or better, is marked with a Staff Pick stamp. Details fits fewer books on a page, so a busy month collapses more titles into the "and N more" line. The setting is saved to your account and follows you to every device.
Hide sits on its own line under the preview with a button for each of 1 star, 2 stars, 3 stars, and DNF. Press any of them, in any combination, and those books leave the receipt, The Stack, and every total. A book counts as the star it sits on, so a one and a half star read hides with 1 star and a three and a half star read hides with 3 stars. Four star and unrated books always stay. Each pressed button counts what it removed so you can see it, but nothing on the shared image mentions hidden books or ratings. A month where everything is hidden still shares your receipt and Loyalty Card, and your choice follows you to every device.
A book you marked DNF that month rings up as a return. It prints in date order with the other books, carries a DNF stamp where its stars would go, and its metadata line begins with RETURNED. A return is never counted: it stays out of the subtotal, the pages and audio figures, the star counts, the top genre, the Staff Pick, and your loyalty card. Returns also stay off The Stack, which is for books you finished. A RETURNS line under the subtotal shows how many there were, and the DNF button takes them off the receipt entirely. The rating buttons never touch a return, even one you rated.
The second page is your Loyalty Card for the year: twelve cells across two rows, one per month, stamped for each month you finished at least one book, with your running total underneath. Under it, a tear-off Coupon shows how many books are already waiting on next month's list. Turn on Sign it with my name and the coupon prints a scannable code to your public reviewer profile instead of the decorative barcode; that needs a public profile username. Without it the barcode prints, and the month and year print under either.
A month with no finished books still has something to post. In the playful interface tone it prints a NO SALE receipt with a VOID stamp, and your Loyalty Card page still comes with it, so a quiet month shares two images and no stack. In the calm tone it stays a quiet note with no card. You can step back and forward into empty months either way.
