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 personally enjoy more obscure books so SG has had really wonderful recs for me (and most I can find on my Kobo or Library)

    Goodreads almost always recs me new books and as great as that is I don’t want super new stuff.
