Just spent my entire morning creating a #StoryGraph account and manually inputting all the books I've read in the last 5 years. Never used a book app before, interested to see if I find it useful. 🤔 #bookstodon

@buffyleigh

What were your favorites from the list? Maybe we could get a top 3 or top 5?

@buffyleigh On the author's side of StoryGraph, I like it. You're able to email #StoryGraph & get content warnings listed on your books, also the MOODS, which was fun to think on when I submitted my poetry book info. #bookstodon @bookstodon

@TC221Bee Yeah I find the moods part of the stats quite interesting, definitely accurate! In the last 5 years, 50% of what I've read is 'reflective' or 'challenging', and another 25% is 'adventurous', 'informative', or 'emotional'. Least common moods are 'hopeful' and 'inspiring', lol. Basically, my read books = my personality in a nutshell.

@m4lu I just kept a list going on a page of my blog. Only started doing that in 2017 though, so no record of my reading before that 😕

@buffyleigh I’m manually inputting mine too! It’s a right chore but fun to look over everything I’ve read.
