If your stream is all about books, reading sessions, BookTok energy, cozy vibes, or community readathons, your overlay should feel just as bookish as your content.

The Bookish Reading Widget Pack by StreamSpell was created for book streamers, BookTok creators, BookTubers, online book clubs, cozy streamers, avid readers, and literary content creators who want a more polished and interactive reading stream.

The pack includes four customizable widgets:

• Now Reading Widget

• Read Shelf Widget

• Next Book Vote Widget

• Reading Sprint Timer

Each widget is added to OBS through a Browser Source URL and can be customized to match your stream style. Change colors, fonts, borders, corner radius, glow, shadows, sizes, spacing, backgrounds, and more.

You can keep it soft and cozy, make it romantic and delicate, go full fantasy bookshelf, or create a clean minimal reading layout.

‍

Now Reading Widget

The Now Reading Widget lets viewers instantly see what book you are reading and how far you are into it.

It can show:

• Book title

• Author

• Current page

• Total pages

• Reading progress percentage

• Pages remaining

• Star rating

• Spice level

• Optional e-reader style frame

• Confetti when the book reaches 100%

This is perfect for live reading sessions, cozy book streams, romance reads, fantasy readalongs, book clubs, and any stream where viewers need quick context.

Instead of answering “what book are you reading?” every few minutes, your current read is always visible on screen.

You can also update the widget with Twitch chat commands, including book title, author, page number, rating, spice level, and more.

Example commands:

• !book Fourth Wing

• !author Rebecca Yarros

• !page120

• !star5

• !spice3

Best for:

• Reading streams

• Book club sessions

• Romance and fantasy streams

• Readathons

• Cozy Just Chatting scenes

• Spoiler-free reading sessions

‍

Read Shelf Widget

The Read Shelf Widget works like a small on-stream bookshelf for the books you have finished.

Each book can include:

• Title

• Author

• Pages

• Date finished

• Star rating

• Spice level

You can choose how many books appear on screen, from 1 to 10, and keep your completed reads visible during the stream.

This is great for monthly reading wrap-ups, readathons, book challenges, romance marathons, fantasy series tracking, and online book clubs.

One of the best parts: the Read Shelf can import a finished book from the Now Reading Widget. So when you finish a book, you can move it into your shelf and keep building your reading history live.

You can also export your shelf as a CSV file, compatible with Excel and Google Sheets. That makes it easy to save your reading list, organize your books, or use the data later for content.

Best for:

• Finished book lists

• Monthly wrap-ups

• Readathon tracking

• Reading challenge streams

• Book club progress

• “Books I read this month” scenes

‍

Next Book Vote Widget

The Next Book Vote Widget lets your Twitch chat help choose your next read.

Add up to four book options, start the vote, and let viewers vote directly through chat commands.

The widget can show:

• Up to 4 book options

• Author names

• Vote totals

• Vote percentages

• Progress bars

• Timer

• Winning book highlight

• Confetti for the winner

This is perfect for turning your TBR into a community moment.

Instead of choosing alone, you can let your viewers decide between romance picks, fantasy books, thriller options, book club choices, or your next readathon book.

Example commands:

• !startvote

• !book1

• !book2

• !book3

• !book4

• !endvote

When the vote ends, the winning book can be exported to the Now Reading Widget. That means your stream can go from “chat chooses the book” to “this is what we are reading next” in a clean flow.

Best for:

• TBR voting

• Book club picks

• Community readalongs

• Romance trope battles

• Fantasy series choices

• Readathon planning

• Interactive Twitch streams

‍

Reading Sprint Timer

The Reading Sprint Timer helps you run focused reading sessions with your community.

It is more than a simple countdown. You can start, pause, resume, end, reset, and add more time during the stream.

It supports:

• Custom sprint duration

• Start, pause, resume, end, and reset

• Add 5, 10, or 15 minutes

• Custom add-time command

• Rectangle, square, or round layout

• Finished sprint pulse effect

This is ideal for streamers who host reading sprints, cozy productivity sessions, study streams, readathons, or silent reading blocks.

Example commands:

• !startsprint

• !pausesprint

• !endsprint

• !resetsprint

• !add5

• !add10

• !add15

• !addtime 30

Best for:

• Reading sprints

• Readathons

• Pomodoro-style reading

• Cozy productivity streams

• Study with me streams

• Book club reading blocks

• Silent reading sessions

‍
