i like to use r/books and r/suggestmeabook for finding new books but people always suggest me books or topics im just not interested in and that dont match what i loved, I also had the issue with goodreads and not being able to track audiobooks, ebooks, ect vs. physical books which i dont really read physical so it was a feature i was missing. I have noticed a huge difference since switching to storygraph. I can properly find books that have content in them i want and can more easily avoid books that lead to a bad reading experience and have a easier time tracking all my stats for the year.

I read for fun but one of the things that got me back into reading more steadily is having a yearly goal, i also have a reading journal and seeing my stats in a app is helpful before i put them in my book or i can print them to put in which is even better.

i know this isnt about books in particular but i find how i track books and find books to almost be as important. I dont want to read books that might have a surprise romance in the middle of a horror for example like in jaws so story graph has tags that would have warned me before i started the book.

    I use Reading List to track both my TBR and what I’m reading! It’s free, but I pay $10/year for the premium version and it’s extremely worth it!

    You can organize into different folders, so I have a folder for each of the last three years that is filled with the books I’ve read that year. You can also DNF on there and have them be a part of their own folder, so there’s no more guessing “Have I read that? Did I like it?” There’s a place for star ratings and notes for each book. I love it!

      I really like Reading List for organizing the books I have and still want to read. The interface for categorizing and arranging them just feels really intuitive.
