Earlier this month I moved my reading records from Goodreads to StoryGraph.

If you haven’t heard of StoryGraph it is a “fully-featured Amazon-free alternative to Goodreads”.

It is run and built by Nadia Odunayo and Rob Frelow. It has some similar and extra facilities that you don’t find on Goodreads and it’s nice to support a non-Amazon business.

Some of its features include:

• Custom tags and lists
• Content warnings, you can select what content you don’t want to read and it will flag books that have those content warnings
• You can mark books as “Owned” which is handy when you can remember if you’ve bought that audiobook or digital book (or even library book) in case you want to read again.
• You can add books to your “Up Next Queue” which is handy if you’ve forgotten what you were going to read next or have a number of books in a series and want to remember which one is next.
• You can set up personal goals or join others around the world in a range of challenges.
• No more rounding up your rating, you can give 1/2 and 1/4 stars. Not that I rate many books.
• Reading journal allows you to add some private notes and thoughts, as well as progress updates.
• You can get personal recommendations thanks to their machine learning AI!
• You can search books based on their pace or emotional or many other mix and match filters.
• Best of all it produces graphs! Pie charts, bar charts, it’s great for a spreadsheet loving nerd like me!

Here’s my All Time stats, is it just me or is this pretty cool?
