52-Book Challenge Tracker

A book a week, tracked in a way that survives the week you read nothing.

Set the year and the target - fifty-two, or whatever is honest for you. Finish a book, add a row: title, author, date, pages. Read the pace line when you feel like it. It will not chase you.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Dashboard - finished, to go, the pace from today, and the curve

Start Here - how the file works and which cells are yours

Challenge - the year, the target, and one row per book

THE PART NOBODY ELSE BUILDS

One design rule: it has to survive falling behind. The pace line recomputes from today rather than from January, so a slow month hands you a new number instead of a verdict, and the number is always achievable arithmetic rather than an accusation. Nothing on the sheet is coloured red, anywhere, at any point. That is not decoration. A tracker that turns red is a tracker people close in March, and the whole value of a year-long challenge is that it is still open in October.
