I was listening to Too Many Tabs and Mrs P mentioned a website called storygraph.com as an alternative to Goodreads. I was wondering if anybody had heard about it or had an experience with it. Any pitfalls or skeletons in the closet?
I like it’s book tracking functions. Recommendations are pretty good. Stats are cool. I don’t use any of the social functions so can’t speak to that
This post points out that you can export your GoodReads history into Storygraph so that you don’t to start over.
I switched over to it from Goodreads a few years ago and really dig it. Been slowly getting all my friends to take the jump too and it’s nice seeing more people’s activity again.
Your profil is no longer public like in GR. So you can just send it to friends they need a profile to, to be able to see yours. But i still like it.
I use storygraph exclusively. The app is slow sometimes, but the upsides are worth it. It doesn’t share any data with other parties, and it isn’t part of Amazon to name a few.
Also, the monthly review graphics it generates are very pleasing!
Definitely recommend
