FAQ

Reading as a busy parent

Common questions from parents trying to squeeze reading back into their lives.

I only get 10-15 minutes of reading time a day. Is that worth tracking?
Absolutely! 15 minutes a day adds up to over 90 hours a year - that's easily 15-20 books. Every minute counts, and Bookie celebrates those micro-moments.
What if I fall asleep while reading and forget my progress?
Been there! Just estimate where you were when you log it the next day. Bookie is forgiving - approximate progress is better than no progress.
Can I track both physical books and audiobooks?
Yes! Whether you're reading while nursing, listening during school pickup, or sneaking pages during naptime - all formats count equally.
I keep starting books but never finishing them because life gets crazy. Will this help?
Perfect for this! Seeing your progress visually motivates you to push through to the end, even if it takes months. No judgment, just gentle progress tracking.
What if I go weeks without reading when things get hectic?
Life happens! Bookie doesn't shame you for breaks. When you're ready to get back to reading, just pick up where you left off. No streak pressure or guilt.
Is this different from just keeping a mental note of what I'm reading?
Much better! You'll be amazed how motivating it is to see your actual progress. Plus, you'll remember books better and can revisit great quotes later.
