How To Export Your Goodreads Library

Goodreads makes a CSV file of your whole library. It works in a phone’s browser too: the Goodreads app can’t export.

1. Open The Export Page

   Sign in at goodreads.com, open My Books, then Import and Export under Tools.

2. Export Your Library

   Tap Export Library. After a minute or so a link appears under it. Tap it to download the file.

3. Bring It Into Spinebloom

   In Spinebloom: Menu → Settings → Your Data → Import And Sync → Choose A File. On a phone it’s in Downloads.

If It Doesn’t Work

• No Export Library button on a phone? Ask the browser for the desktop site.
• A zipped file or a spreadsheet? Choose the original .csv file instead.
• The file has no books? It wasn’t ready yet. Wait a minute and download it again.

Questions

What comes with the file?

Every shelf, your star ratings, dates read and dates added.

How long does it take?

Usually about a minute. A very big library can take a few.
