Michelle has done it again! Created a way to easily track the books I’ve read in so many ways. My favorite part of the spreadsheet is the ability to list the genre of the book after I read it. And if the genre isn’t there, well I can add them myself! Talk about awesome. If you’re looking for a simple formate to record your books this is it!
Simple, elegant solutions are my jam. I love things that are easy to implement and easy to use. This spreadsheet is definitely those things. I read a lot, and I like keeping track. This is absolutely perfect for that. Grab this if you love simplicity and being organized. :)
Thank you for your detailed steps to follow!
I love how simple and easy it is to set up the tracker! She gives very detailed instructions which I found to be very helpful!
Very easy to use. So helpful.
Let customers speak for us
from 212 reviewsI love all of Michelle’s templates, great instructional videos, and quick to list. Listed the template and made a few sales already. Also, had a customer email to say how much she loved the spreadsheet!

Michelle guides you through every step with a teaching style that’s so relatable and so easy to listen to.

All of Michelle's templates and workshops are super easy to use and informative. Thanks again, Michelle! :)

I absolutely love your products and your courses! I've love to see more training on formulas!

Michelle's spreadsheets are just so good, they come with the best training videos. Each time I learn something new with her "hacks". She definitely has the best hacks . I am a lifelong fan of her spreadsheets and trainings.

I love this sheet, it is a perfect fit for my audience but I purchased it in mind to use it myself! I personally use each sheet for awhile before I share it with my customers. I am super excited about this one as I had been thinking of updating the sheet my family currently uses!! I love that you can assign tasks. The template is super easy to make your own with great tutorials on changing colors and fonts.

Template is easy to navigate, super easy and quick to customize.

Love this spreadsheet and using it myself!

Such a cute kit and I love that it is a year at a glance. Most calendars are monthly only and this is just what I needed.

This spreadsheet is well-designed, functional, and easy to customize. I was able to make my edits and get it posted to my shop in just one day. Michelle’s instructional videos make it very user-friendly, even for someone new to Google Sheets. Highly recommend if you're looking for a clean, organized template that’s simple to work with.

As always, Michelle has put out an amazing, useful, and (most importantly) EASY to use product! She always goes over and above on delivering quality products AND trainings for how to use those products!

Michelle’s templates are always so easy to customize and her instruction is clear and thorough.

This is a great 5 year calendar to have all your important dates at a glance! And it has room for Monthly Goals and Notes. Michelle walks you through exactly how to customize your colors and fonts to make the calendar uniquely your own. I highly recommend!

Another great template by Michelle. The template comes with easy to follow video instructions that explain the template and how to customize!

Another fantatic product that does exactly what you want and you get more than you bargain for as usual! This is the perfect product if you just want a quick yearly planner.
