Three parts of one reading life

The past you want to keep. The book in your hands. The one waiting next.

01 · Preserve

Bring your history without losing the story.

Bring your Goodreads CSV, review your import, and keep the ratings, dates, and shelves your file contains. Or start fresh with one book.

  • ✓ Search by title, author, or ISBN
  • ✓ Scan a barcode and confirm your book
  • ✓ Export your library when you want it

02 · Attend

Log the chapter, not a performance.

Record pages, percentages, or listening time. Keep a reread separate, write a private note, and correct a date later without turning reading into a competition.

  • ✓ Track progress across formats
  • ✓ Custom shelves and separate rereads
  • ✓ Notes for your eyes only

  • ✓ A private, ordered Up next list
  • ✓ Playlists for any mood or occasion
  • ✓ Reader profiles and community discovery

Before you turn the first page

Can I bring my Goodreads library?

Yes. Export your library from Goodreads as a CSV, then review and import it in Basil & Page. We preserve the supported information your file contains; missing details can be added afterward.

What do I need to create an account?

Choose a unique username, enter your email, and create a password. Confirm your email and you’re ready. There’s no invitation or credit card required.

What can other readers see?

Your private notes stay private. At sign-up, we explain the reader profile and activity sharing defaults. You can change those choices in Reader profile, and decide which playlists to publish.

Can I take my reading history with me?

Yes. Exporting your personal reading data is part of Free. Your history stays accessible if you stop Premium.

Every reading life starts somewhere

One book is a lovely beginning.

Your old favorites and future discoveries have a home here.
