TBR helps you decide what to read next and keep future reading visible.
Use monthly and yearly lists to organize books you intend to read. Both choices stay available above the TBR pile on larger screens. The wheel can make a choice using categories such as format, genre, length, trope, or your own custom category. Challenges and badges add optional milestones around your TBR activity.
Share your monthly Reading Agenda
- Open TBR and move to the month you want to share.
- Choose Share agenda in the TBR Pile card.
- Choose Story for one 9:16 summary or Instagram for a 4:5 carousel.
- Move through the preview with the previous and next controls, then choose Share or Download.
The share studio keeps keyboard focus inside while it is open. Press Escape to close it and return to Share agenda.
The Instagram set always includes one overview, then one slide for each group of four books. If your TBR grows, ARC Library adds slides automatically; a final group of one, two, or three books is arranged without empty slots. All carousel slides share or download together in reading order.
The parchment captions use high-contrast ink so the smaller planning notes remain clear after download. Reading intentions has its own column space, and the Planned with ARC Library signature sits below the folio on a separate footer line.
Your name is not printed by default. If your profile has a name, Sign it with my name opts in and remembers that choice across your devices. The graphics include book covers, titles, authors, and simple reading state only. They do not include notes, private dates, or review drafts.
On the first of a month, the Notification Center can tell you that the month's TBR graphics are prepared when that month already has books. Opening the notification selects the right month and opens the share studio. You can close it and download the graphics again at any time from TBR. Manage this alert in Settings → Notifications → Monthly TBR graphics.
The wheel is a planning tool. Spinning it does not automatically change a book's reading status. Open the selected book when you are ready to begin or adjust its tracking.
TBR management availability depends on your plan. Your books remain in your Library if plan access changes.
