Import from GoodreadsFile import

Overview

Goodreads lets you download your whole library as a CSV file. Upload it to Logfolio and every book comes over with your rating, the date you read it, and your shelves, so you don't start your reading log from zero.

Fills your Books.

What comes over

• Title, author, year, and ISBN
• Your star rating and the date you read it
• Your review (kept private)
• Your shelves, as tags
• Currently reading becomes Reading, and to-read becomes Want to read

Good to know

• Your own shelves become tags. The three built-in shelves (read, currently reading, to-read) set the status instead.
• A shelf called did-not-finish, dnf, or abandoned marks those books as dropped.
• The year is the book's original publication year when Goodreads has it, not the year of your edition.
• Only books on your read shelf get a date: Goodreads' Date Read.
• Reviews keep their line breaks; Goodreads' formatting tags are taken out.

• Reviews stay private; your public page shows titles, ratings, dates, and tags.
