Retro Book Counter Slot Machine – Spinning Reading Tracker, Desk Organizer, Reading Challenge Tool
This design was chosen by my Discord community, and honestly it feels like the perfect little companion for a New Year’s reading resolution.
Shaped like a small retro, kitsch slot machine, this book counter turns tracking your reads into something tactile, playful, and a little absurd. Each number spins like a slot reel, letting you update your count with a satisfying click. It also works beautifully as a display piece on your desk or shelf.
Equal parts desk object, motivation tool, and nostalgic novelty, this one feels right at home next to a stack of books (quietly reminding you to keep going!)
This design comes with AMS-friendly and non-AMS options.

How big is it supposed to be?
At 100%, it's small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.

Yes :) Alternative wording is on deck!
