Reading List Exporter
Convert a plain-text reading list into a spreadsheet or reference-manager format without silently dropping unparsed lines.
Exported list
BibTeX includes author, title, and year when present; other bibliographic fields are not inferred.
Unparsed lines
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Paste one book per line in the selected format.
- Choose CSV or BibTeX output.
- Export the parsed books and review any flagged lines.
Choose one line pattern
Use either “Author - Title (Year)” or “Author - Title” for every non-empty line. The parser does not guess mixed formats.
Review exceptions
Lines that do not match the selected pattern are listed with their line numbers and are never silently omitted from the report.
GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions
What if my title contains the separator?
The parser uses the first “ - ” separator. If your title contains that exact pattern, edit the line or use a different consistent source format before exporting.
Is the BibTeX entry complete?
It includes author, title, and year when present. Publisher, edition, DOI, and other metadata are not inferred.
