Goodreads Year in Review: How to See and Print Your Reading Stats
Every December, readers go looking for their "Goodreads Wrapped" — and find that it doesn't really exist. Here's how to actually see your reading year, and how to turn it into something you can keep.
Does Goodreads have a "year in review"?
Sort of. Around the end of each year, Goodreads publishes a "Your Year in Books" page that shows your total books and pages read, your shortest and longest book, and your average rating. It's a nice glance — but it has real limits:
- It only covers a single calendar year. You can't combine multiple years.
- It isn't a polished, shareable graphic like Spotify Wrapped.
- It changes or becomes hard to find after the season passes — it's not a permanent keepsake.
- It doesn't surface your reviews, your genre breakdown, or your reading pace month by month.
How to see your reading stats manually
If you just want the numbers, you can pull them inside Goodreads:
- Go to My Books.
- Click your Read shelf.
- Sort by date read and filter to the year you want.
- The book count appears at the top of the shelf. For total pages and average rating, add the columns yourself (or export — see below).
This works for a quick count, but it's tedious for anything deeper, and there's no way to see it all laid out beautifully.
The better way: export, then visualize
Goodreads lets you download your entire library as a spreadsheet (CSV). That file is the key to everything — it contains every book, your rating, your review, the date you read it, page count, and more.
Once you have the CSV, you can analyze it in a spreadsheet, or upload it to a tool that does the work for you. See our step-by-step guide: How to export your Goodreads library to CSV.
Turn your Goodreads year into a printed book
This is what we built The Bookfolio for. You upload your Goodreads CSV and it generates a 6×9″ perfect-bound book of your reading year — every cover, your reviews, your reading stats, and an AI-written year-in-review summary. You can:
- Download a print-ready PDF for free and print it at home.
- Order it professionally printed and shipped — $19.99 black & white or $29.99 color.
- Combine multiple years into one volume — something Goodreads can't do.
Your reading year, beautifully bound
Upload your Goodreads export and see your year as a real book in minutes. Free PDF, or printed and shipped to your door.

Does Goodreads have a year in review or wrapped feature?
Goodreads offers a basic "Year in Books" summary each December, but it's limited, covers a single calendar year, and isn't a shareable or printable keepsake. For a richer, permanent record, export your data and build your own.
How do I see how many books I read this year on Goodreads?
Go to My Books, open your Read shelf, sort by date read, and filter to the year. Goodreads shows the count. For pages and average rating, add the columns up or export your library.
Can I turn my Goodreads year into a printed book?
Yes — export your library as a CSV and upload it to The Bookfolio, which lays out your books, covers, reviews, and stats into a printed paperback you can download free or order shipped.
