@Unatributed @bookstodon

I use @thestorygraph

I like it for a number of reasons:

First, I participate in a lot of reading challenges, and it's super easy to track them on there.

Second, I can mark books as ones I own, and when I'm not sure what to read next I can search for something and filter it to only include the books I own.

Third, there are lots of graphs to chart my reading preferences for things like genres, book lengths, formats, etc.

Fourth, its easy to review books I read without feeling like I have to write a persuasive essay....there's a basic multiple choice type format already included, while still leaving you the option of writing the essay if that's your jam.

Fifth, I can go back and see what books I read in any particular month if I forgot to fill something out in my physical book journal.

And sixth, it was created by a Black woman and is not owned by Amazon.

@Unatributed @bookstodon @lilcoppertop @thestorygraph and I found tracking challenges so much harder on StoryGraph. Throw in that I read way way way too much to keep up on StoryGraph and as much as I like 1. Woman created 2. Amazing stats… I failed to keep up last year.

@LadyOzma @Unatributed @bookstodon @thestorygraph

I'm curious about how much you read that makes it hard to keep up on Storygraph. I read about 190 books last year, and Storygraph has been the easiest system for me personally to keep track on. But what this may be an example of is just two different ways brains work.

If you don't mind elaborating, I truly am curious about that. But I understand if you'd rather not.

@bookstodon @lilcoppertop @Unatributed @thestorygraph I have an egregious amount of unread kindle books because I just keep scooping these freebies like it’s an addiction. So I’m on a heavy push to get them done. Also I was low key competing with a librarian lol. (She won.) I’ve already finished 19 this year and that’s with not hardly reading because I worked an event for four days last weekend.

@LadyOzma @bookstodon @Unatributed @thestorygraph

Thanks for elaborating for me! And good luck keeping up to a librarian! Isn't it practically in their contract to read more than meer humans? LOL!

@lilcoppertop @Unatributed @bookstodon @thestorygraph I’m pretty sure it’s a law 😂. I’ve read books for high school libraries before. (Actually for that school that went national news when the school board said they wanted to burn books on it 🙄). Some years I read more than others, and last year was def an outlier. But I’m shooting for at least 200 this year just trying to burn through all these freebies. 😂. It’s a real problem
