Install

Libro is packaged as libro-book on PyPI.

pip install libro-book

You can also clone this repository and install it locally:

git clone https://github.com/mkaz/libro.git
cd libro
pip install -e .

Setup

On first run, libro will create a libro.db database file based on database location. It will prompt for confirmation to proceed which also shows the location where the file will be created.

Database locations:

The following order is used to determine the database location:

  1. Using the --db flag on command-line.

  2. libro.db in current directory

  3. Environment variable LIBRO_DB to specify custom file/location

  4. Finally, the user's platform-specific data directory

    • Linux: ~/.local/share/libro/libro.db
    • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/libro/libro.db
    • Windows: %APPDATA%\libro\libro.db

For example, if you want to create a new database file in the current directory, you can use the following command:

libro --db ./libro.db

Import from Goodreads

Libro can import your reading history from a Goodreads export CSV file.

libro import goodreads_library_export.csv

There is a genre field for fiction and nonfiction, but this data is not available in the Goodreads export. I still need to build the edit book functionality to change the genre.

Database Schema

Books table

Field Type Description
id primary key Unique identifier
title string Book title
author string Book author
pages int Number of pages in book
pub_year int Year book was published
genre string Fiction or nonfiction

Reviews table

Field Type Description
id primary key Unique identifier
book_id foreign key Book identifier
date_read date Date book was read
rating float Number between 0 and 5
review text Review of book

Changelog

See GitHub Releases for the changelog.
