Hello all! I mostly use StoryGraph (my name is creadstoomuch if you wanna be friends), but I was wondering what other options y’all have found that work for you. There are many things I like about it (the fact that it is not an Amazon product, the design, the stats, the currently reading tracking abilities) but there are also some things I don’t like (the drop down menus behaving irregularly and, in some places, very poorly being my biggest issue). I also use LibraryThing to find my next reads but it doesn’t have the currently reading tracking of StoryGraph.

So what do you use? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

    Well now I’m wondering why I should track my reading. I just read, have my whole life. Some benefit I’m missing?

      For my uses, I’ve found it beneficial to remember things I read looong ago, especially series that were partially written when I read them and now new books have come out. It’s also helped me watch the stats of what I read and how many times I’ve read something.

      Often I’ll remember a snippet of a book, good or bad and wish that I had been tracking what I’ve been reading longer.

      You don’t have to. If you don’t care about tracking this stuff, that’s great, one less thing to worry about.
