booktracker

Booktracker is an open source application for managing and tracking a personal book library.

Using metadata grabbed from Google Books, easily add books and organize them into collections. Set each book’s status, give it a rating, and track how long it took to read.

Disclaimer: I am an English Lit graduate learning to program, and Booktracker is my first major project. Booktracker is still under active development, so expect bugs and breaking changes.
