Unlock Your Reading Journey With the Reading Mosaic Tracker
Have you ever wanted a beautiful, insightful way to keep track of the books you’ve read? The Reading Mosaic Tracker is a visually stunning and highly functional addition to any reading journal. It not only helps you organize your reading stats but also turns your journal into a work of art.
This post will show you how to set up your own Reading Mosaic Tracker using a simple square design divided into four triangles, each representing different reading statistics. Plus, you’ll get a free downloadable mosaic tracker to cut, paste, and personalize in your journal.
What Is the Reading Mosaic Tracker?
The Reading Mosaic Tracker is a unique reading journal layout. Each book you read is represented by one square. That square is divided diagonally into four triangles by an "X." Each triangle can be colored or marked to represent different data points or "stats" about the book.
This setup gives you a compact space for rich information, combining visual appeal with useful reading insights.
How to Set Up the Squares and Triangles
Setting up your mosaic tracker is simple:
Draw or use pre-made squares in your reading journal—one square per book.
Inside each square, draw an “X” shape to divide it into four triangles.
Assign each triangle a specific reading statistic to track.
Use different colors or shading to mark each triangle according to the data for that book.
This pattern turns your reading progress into a mosaic of colorful triangles, each telling part of your unique reading journey.
Common Stats to Track in the Reading Mosaic
While you can track anything important to your reading goals, here are six popular stats commonly used in mosaic trackers:
Genre (e.g., fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, biography)
Pages read (to track book length or reading volume)
Reading format (e.g., physical book, eBook, audiobook)
Reading mood or theme (e.g., light, intense, uplifting)
Rating or enjoyment level
Completion date or month
By assigning each statistic to a different triangle or using specific colors to represent each stat, your mosaic tracker becomes a snapshot filled with meaningful data.
The Power of Colors in Your Tracker
Color is a key component of the mosaic tracker’s beauty and function. Assign a specific color for each statistic. For example:
Blue for genre
Green for pages read
Purple for format
Orange for reading mood
When you fill in each triangle with its corresponding color, the whole mosaic creates a vibrant, informative reading map. This visual approach makes it fun to reflect on your reading habits and spot trends at a glance.
