How do I organize my shelves?

The default shelves are Want to Read, Currently Reading, Read, and Did Not Finish. They have specific roles and cannot be renamed or deleted. Custom shelves are for your own collections, such as favorites or vacation reads.

A book can belong to more than one custom shelf. Changing its reading status can start, finish, or reopen a reading session; to group books without changing that history, use a custom shelf.

Step by step

1. Open Library and create a new shelf.
2. Set its name, description, and visibility.
3. On a book page, open the shelf menu and choose where to put it.
4. Use the library options to edit, reorder, or delete custom shelves.
