Want to keep track of your reading like a librarian? Start using The StoryGraph! The StoryGraph is a personal reading tracker that can be used on your computer or by downloading their app.
In 2020 I started reading more and, therefore, started forgetting what I read more… Enter The StoryGraph! Not only does The StoryGraph keep a list of your reads, it uses that data to give you a breakdown of the “moods” and genres you like to read, your most read authors, the number of pages read or hours listened to, etc. All in graph format!
The StoryGraph knows that they are an underdog compared to the Amazon-owned giant, Goodreads, but they make the switch really easy with an option to import your Goodreads data. People who are loyal to Goodreads might like to hear that on The StoryGraph you can give the books you review a half and even QUARTER STAR RATING! The StoryGraph is quickly becoming a social reading app as well with options to follow your friends and participate in buddy reads.
If you need any more persuading, I’d love to tell you about my favorite feature. Gone are the days of taking pictures of covers or writing down titles you are interested in on a post-it (that will inevitably be washed in your pocket) because The StoryGraph has… a BARCODE SCANNER! Now when I see a new book that I want to read (but I know I already have too many books checked out) all I have to do is open The StoryGraph and scan the ISBN barcode to add it to my To-Read Pile. The StoryGraph will even give you highly personalized book recommendations (just like your local librarians)!
If tracking your reading is a New Year’s resolution of yours, I highly recommend you download The StoryGraph today!
