Last year you finished twenty books and can name what three of them changed. The rest blurred into "yeah, I read that one." The reading wasn't wasted — the capture was missing. A finished book with nothing written down is a rental: it passes through and leaves nothing behind.
Every finished book gets exactly one row: status, a rating, and a single takeaway in your own words. Not highlights, not summaries — one sentence you'd actually repeat to a friend. One is small enough to write the day you finish, and strict enough that skimming doesn't qualify. The "Finished + rated" view keeps score honestly: books with takeaways versus books that were just page-flips.
A blank reading list template asks you to design a system before you've logged a book. Six seeded books with takeaways show what "done" looks like — "Reading now", "Finished + rated", "Up next" all work on day one. You fill in your own numbers instead of building shelves.
Reading Library ($9) ships the status + rating + takeaway capture with 6 seeded books so every view works instantly — floor-price entry to the shelf, or all 9 packs in the $39 bundle.
