How to add Books to your Readables

  1. Navigate to your dashboard 
  2. Select the ‘Add Book’ icon on the ‘Books Read’ widget. 
    • This can also be done from the ‘My Readables’ menu.
  3. Type in the ISBN13 number associated with your book.
    • You can find your ISBN13 code either on the back of your book or on the first few pages with additional printing and copyright information. It is also possible to find the ISBN13 by searching the book on Amazon and looking at the ‘Product Details’
    • Currently Booktower only supports ISBN13 codes for books. If your book’s ISBN is only 10 characters long, then it is an ISBN10 and you'll need to use a converter. We hope to support ISBN10s in the future!
  4. Select the Status and Reading Activity applicable to the readable.
    • Additionally, you can select what bookshelves you would like the readable to display on, favorite status, tags, cover color, and notes under the Additional Settings menu.
  5. Select ‘Add it!’ to add the book to your Readables list.
    • If you would like to immediately add another readable in this form, you can select “Add it & Add Another’ to submit the current readable and be brought back to the submission screen.

Alternatively, if you wish to add several books at once, select the ‘Bulk Mode’ button in the top right when on the Add Books menu.  

  1. In the bulk mode, enter the ISBN13s of the books you wish to add on separate lines of the text field. 
  2. Select the Status and Reading Activity that will be applied to all readables entered.
    • Additionally, you can select what bookshelves you would like the readables to display on, tags, favorite status, and cover color for all readables in the bulk upload under the Additional Settings menu.
  3. Select ‘Add it!’ to add them to your Readables list. 

Once the books have been added to our system, they will appear in your Readables list! Occasionally, some books require more information and will take longer to appear in your Readables list.
