Reading Diary gives you a personal space to write about your reading experience beyond ratings and shelves. You can create rich diary entries, tag books from your Reading Log or Personal Library, and choose whether each entry is private or public.

Public entries can be shared with the community under your nom de plume, while private entries stay visible only to you. It’s a flexible way to capture thoughts, reflections, and reading moments as your journey evolves.

Configure Diary Settings

• In your account page, select Social from the Account drop down menu
• If Public Diary is disabled in your social settings, entries marked public are saved but remain hidden until enabled.
