Maybe you added a book long after you finished it, or forgot to mark the day you began. A book’s dates are easy to put right, and your yearly counts follow.
Change a book’s dates
- Open the book.
- Tap the dates under In Library: Added, Started and Finished.
- Tap a date to change it. Tap the × beside Started or Finished to clear it, or Set to add one that’s missing.
- Tap Save.
Heads up
Changing dates updates the book’s status to match. A finished date makes it Finished, a start date alone makes it Currently Reading, and no dates at all makes it Want to Read. That includes books you’ve paused or not finished.
Books you’ve read more than once
This screen is your book’s Reading history. The dates at the top belong to your current read. Your earlier reads sit underneath, under Earlier reads, each with its number, such as Read 1.
- Tap an earlier read to change its dates.
- Swipe an earlier read to the left and tap Remove to take it out of your history.
Good to know
Removing an earlier read takes away only its dates: your sessions and notes stay with the book. Started a re-read by mistake? Tap Go back to Read 1 under your current read, with your own number, and the earlier read returns just as you left it.
