Reading Wrapped: How to Make a "Spotify Wrapped" for Your Books
Music fans get Spotify Wrapped. Readers get… a vague feeling that they read "a lot" this year. Here's how to make a real, shareable Reading Wrapped of your own.
Why there's no official "Books Wrapped"
Spotify Wrapped works because nearly all your listening happens inside one app that tracks every play. Reading is more scattered — print books, ebooks, audiobooks, library loans, across different stores and apps. No single company has all your data, so no one ships a definitive wrapped. The closest thing is Goodreads' "Year in Books," and it's pretty thin.
The good news: if you track on Goodreads (or anywhere that exports data), you have the data. You just need to shape it.
What goes into a great reading wrapped
The recaps people actually love to share include:
- Headline numbers — books finished and total pages read.
- Average rating — were you a generous reader or a tough critic this year?
- Top books — your highest-rated or most memorable reads.
- Genre breakdown — your "literary palette."
- Reading pace — your busiest month, longest and shortest book.
- A narrative — a short written recap that ties the year together.
How to make yours, step by step
- Export your reading history. If you use Goodreads, download your library as a CSV — see our 2-minute export guide.
- Summarize the highlights. In a spreadsheet you can total pages, average your ratings, and sort to find top books. It works, but it's fiddly.
- Lay it out. Drop the numbers into a graphic, or use a tool that designs it for you.
The shortcut: do it automatically
The Bookfolio turns your Goodreads CSV into a complete reading wrapped without any spreadsheet work. It calculates your stats, builds a genre chart, picks your top books, and even writes an AI year-in-review summary. Then — unlike a graphic that vanishes into your camera roll — it lays everything into a real 6×9″ book.

- $19.99 printed & shipped in black & white, or $29.99 in color.
- Combine several years into one wrapped volume.
