Free To Be Read Page Printable for Your Reading Journal
Every reader knows the feeling. You hear about a great book, save it on goodreads or somewhere else, and tell yourself you’ll remember it later. Then a few weeks pass, another recommendation comes along, and suddenly your books to read list is scattered across notes apps, screenshots, tbr-lists, bookmarks, and random pieces of paper.
Before long, choosing your next book feels harder than it should. That’s where a To Be Read Page can be helpful.
Having a dedicated place to collect future reads makes it easier to keep track of what genuinely interests you. Instead of constantly searching for forgotten recommendations, everything stays in one place and ready whenever you’re looking for your next read.
If you’re putting together a reading journal, this page works especially well alongside a Monthly Reading Tracker for tracking your reading habits throughout the year. And if you enjoy seeing the bigger picture, a Yearly Reading Tracker can help you keep all of your completed books together in one overview.
What Is a To Be Read Page?
A To Be Read Page is a printable page that helps you organize the books you’d like to read in the future. Think of it as a dedicated home for your TBR list.
Instead of keeping book recommendations scattered across Goodreads shelves, TikTok saves, screenshots, and random notes, you can keep the books that genuinely interest you together in one place. Seeing your TBR list on paper can also make it easier to pause before adding yet another title to a list that’s already 289 books long.
Many readers use a To Be Read Page to:
- Keep track of book recommendations
- Organize reading goals
- Plan seasonal reading lists
- Reduce an overwhelming TBR pile
- Create a more intentional reading routine
- Keep their reading journal organized
It’s a simple addition, but it can make your reading life feel much more organized.
What’s Included In This Printable?
This printable bundle includes two different To Be Read Page layouts, each available in multiple versions.
Inside you’ll find:
- Cozy book-themed version
- Minimalist circle tracker version
- Dot grid version of each layout
- Blank version of each layout
That gives you four total page variations to choose from.
If you enjoy keeping track of the books you’ve already finished, a Reading Log pairs nicely with this page and helps create a more complete reading journal system.
The Different Versions
Everyone organizes their reading journal a little differently, which is why this printable includes several layout options.
Cozy Book Version
This version features 15 small book illustrations arranged vertically down the page, with hanging plants at the top for a cozy reading journal feel.
Next to each book, there’s space to write a title from your TBR list. As you finish reading, you can color in the matching book for a satisfying visual reminder of your progress.
This layout works especially well for readers who enjoy decorative journal spreads and a softer aesthetic.
Minimalist Circle Version
Choose the minimalist version if you prefer a cleaner look.
This layout includes 30 circle trackers with space beside each one for book titles. The simple design makes it easy to keep a larger TBR list organized without adding extra decorative elements.
Color in the circles as you finish books to track your progress.
Readers who use bullet journals may prefer the dot grid versions, while those who like a more minimal layout might enjoy the blank pages. Add either version to your reading journal, planner, binder, or digital notebook.
If you like writing thoughts about finished books too, adding a simple Book Review Printable can make your reading journal feel more complete.
