Moving from Goodreads? In Goodreads go to My Books → Import and Export → Export Library, download the CSV, then upload it here. We bring across your shelves, ratings, reviews, both your dates, and your custom shelves (as tags) — nothing left behind.
Your books are yours. Download your whole library as a CSV — it works as a backup, re-imports into Cove perfectly, and is accepted by Goodreads and StoryGraph.
To Be Read — books you want to read.
Currently Reading — what you're reading now.
Read — books you've finished.
Owned — everything you own, in any format. A book can be Owned and on another shelf.
Three ways: search the Open Library database (millions of books) with + Add Book, import your Goodreads CSV (below), or add manually if a book isn't found.
When adding a book you can mark which formats you own — physical, digital, audiobook. A book can be owned in several at once.
Safely in your Cove account — they sync across every device you sign in on. You can export everything to CSV any time from "Import & export".

This permanently deletes your account, your entire library, and your profile — on every device. This cannot be undone.
