I would love to jump ship from GR, but Kindle integration is everything to me. Hopefully this will light a fire on Amazon’s ass.

This is cool, but GR still has a killer feature and that’s integration with Kindle. I can’t wait to see how Storygraph evolves and I adore that they’re listening to the readers <3 I don’t really use Goodreads for the community aspect much these days though, so it’s not really a problem for me. Sure it doesn’t have the community aspect…yet.

Like if we’re talking at the core, Storygraph’s quality of recommendations, of reviews and everything is already so much higher than Goodreads. I do love how Storygraph really drills down for the specifics of what you like in books, my brief play around with it left me feeling like it’ll be a definite rival for Goodreads…although to be honest I feel like Storygraph is already better than Goodreads? I’ve hardly used Goodreads these last few months but then again…I’ve not been reading a whole lot if at all. Or just that I’m adding a book to my TBR because of someone else, so I definitely think the notes section will be a huge help with that for me.

I am so excited for when Storygraph finally launches, I’ve been putting off actually using it mostly because I like being able to note down when a book was recommended to me. If you want to drill down your recommendations even more, say for diversity and representation, you can! I am sure that the more I use StoryGraph, the more familiar with their keywords I will become and I will be able to hone my recommendations even more.ĭiscussing and tracking your buddy reads became even easier for 2022 when The StoryGraph added Buddy Reads! I am currently testing this new feature and more screenshots to come, but for now all the information you need is in the announcement tweet. So you can drill down for character-driven or dense world-building, and avoid books with flat characters, etc! 🙌🙌🙌 Recommendations are amazing! The quick survey not only asks what your favorite and least favorite genres are, but also asks for the three characteristics in books you appreciate the most… as well as turn-offs. I laughed so hard when Jade City was listed as third on my recommendations feed because I am planning on reading it as part of Shealea’s Green Bone Readalong over the next couple of months!
