Import from Goodreads

Bring your Goodreads history into Kevra: books read with their dates, your to-read list, ratings and reviews.

If you've spent years logging your reading on Goodreads, you don't have to start from scratch: Kevra can bring your whole history over.

What comes over

No book files come over: Goodreads doesn't have them. It's your reading history.

Goodreads doesn't let other apps read your account, but it does let you download your library as a file:

Open Goodreads on a computer and go to "My Books".
In the left column: "Tools" → "Import and Export" → "Export Library".
When the link is ready, download the file and get it onto your phone (by email, through your cloud…).

Go to Settings → Account → Migrate from another app → Goodreads.
Tap Choose the file and select the one you downloaded.
Kevra sorts it out in the background. You can leave this screen: it carries on by itself.

When it's done you'll see how many books came in as read, started, in "Want to read" and with a rating or review.

The dates are Goodreads' dates, not today's. Your friends won't suddenly see five hundred books "finished today".
What you already have in Kevra isn't touched: a book already read here isn't duplicated, and your Kevra reviews aren't overwritten. Importing twice changes nothing.
If Kevra doesn't recognize a book, it creates it anyway with the title and author from Goodreads, so you don't lose anything.
The file you upload is deleted as soon as the import finishes.

It says the file doesn't look like Goodreads. Make sure you upload the "Export Library" file as is, without opening and saving it first in Excel or another program.
Does it bring over the percentage of what I'm reading? No: Goodreads doesn't store it. They come in as started.
