Immature and insecure you are
did someone make a heckin racism and ruin the wholesome chungus?
fricking finally, the amount of shitty book data on there used to be massive
many librarians are morons too, mind you, I hope they prune them a bit as well
just make an excel sheet
Excel costs money.
Use Google docs then
LibreOffice?
Hello, Storygraph fren. I like that you can mark books as "not finished" in Storygraph. And you don't get bombed with reviews for every book. There's a rating and a general categorisation for a book, but you have to look up the reviews extra if you're interested.
Goodreads is way too cluttered for me, and I say that as someone who grew up with the 90s net
I think my one complaint is the genre categories. I struggle to imagine a book that belongs the genre "gender", and yet they don't have a humor genre for the joke books I own. But I guess that's a user request thing
>I like that you can mark books as "not finished" in Storygraph
You can do that on Goodreads too. Add a new shelf.
Apply to become a librarian and add them, or request them to be added in the librarian group.
>for an american clientele
It literally isn't.
>amazon isn't an american company whose primary concern is the american client base
okay moron cope seethe and dilate more about how america is oppressing you while they create everything you use. turd world ingrate.
Like half of the reviews are not in English. They had to create a language filter because many popular books were swarmed with Arabic and Indian writing. Users that GR/Amazon makes money off, of course.
But you go stick to sperging out about muh america.
you're the one asspained about it and no one cares about third world poorhomosexuals anyway.
>You can do that on Goodreads too. Add a new shelf.
Not the same. You still have to give the book a rating, or else Goodreads does treat it like you're still reading it. Storygraph has an own category in its statistics for it and if you want to, lets other users know in the review statistics that you've dropped it and at which poing (if you track your reading progress).
>You still have to give the book a rating,
You don't. There are two types of shelves on GR, exclusive and optional ones. Each book has to belong to one single exclusive shelf, and can also belong to as many optional shelves as you like. There are three default exclusive shelves - want to read, currently reading, and read. None of them depend on having a rating for the book. You can add more shelves with the "edit shelves" option, so I made myself an exclusive shelf for abandoned books - no rating required to add a book there, obviously.
I get that the interface is horrible and some of the data takes time to be correctly digested by the system, but the options are here.
I hope they stop the automatically generated print-on-demand options for public domain works from shitting up classic books with 1000s of editions.
>Goodreads members who do not have Librarian or Author status will no longer be able to manually add book editions to the Goodreads catalog
I don't see the problem. I'm tired of seeing a book listed in 3 different places with 9,000 editions becuase some moronic karen didn't see it and just added it again.
i cant add books that are not there yet. they basically killed goodreads for every non-english user
>non-english user
Just use the english version you dramatic third world moron. What difference does it make?
>all books are translated in english
jesus, you americans are truly moronic
>americans are moronic
>why doesn't this american product made by an american company for an american clientele cater to me
Good, nobody wants a bunch of Pajeets and Chinks shitting up a perfectly good book discussion website
Bravo, only Pajeets and Chinks read untranslated literature. Truly moronic /misc/tards.
make your own website then you fricking moronic ingrate
So as an author i can't add my own book? Do i have to go get a librarian?
Or is it only for different editions of the same book?
it used to be this way before too, not really a new thing
I just use it to read one star reviews of books I like, and five star reviews of ones I hate. It's fun and infinitely entertaining.
This. You use it to laugh at morons and posture on IQfy to see who read the most books that year. I'm at 45 so far for 2022. How about you morons? dyer?
>doesn't know what libreoffice is
>hasn't misappropriated a work laptop to use their microshite office for his personal uses
>hasn't pirated 5,000 copies of microshite office just to make bill gates seethe
Just become a 'librarian'
Is that an order?
The alternative is to read your books and don't be an attention prostitute.
i just like the statistics it provides me
Why do morons like this think people have goodreads to be attention prostitutes? You come across as the bitter cynical friendless type. I don't have anyone on my Goodreads. I just like it because it's fun.
Get this one anon, although is pretty new and they are not many reviews, but for book tracking is really good
Do these give good recommendations? This is basically all I want at this point. Goodreads is so fricking shit, it really isn't much better than an excel sheet. It's so hard to find good books based around specific themes or topics
no, i dont know of any site or app that gives good recommendations. what ive always done is read authors who were either influential to or influenced by althors i like, and ask small bookstore owners for rwcommendations.
I haven't read any of the books storygraph recommended me yet, but the mood thing has at least resulted in me seeing different books than normal. It's biggest frickery is that its userbase is, as expected, 20-35 year old women reading and skewing things towards poplit

You DO have a personal website where you post your book reviews, right anon?
I post book reviews to my twatter handle. I don't shit up my website with book reviews.
yeah, it's something called a "shelf".
If I had a copy of every book I’ve ever read I wouldn’t have anywhere to sleep.
Just buy a house bro.
sister brags about having read twice as many books as me on her goodreads
>see what she's reading
>all muscle men on the cover
>flip to random page
>"he grasped both of her wrists and held them above her head"
>"Let me go! I'll scream rape!"
>"he shoved her back against the lockers"
>"Scream all you want sweetheart. Nobody's going to believe the quiet, nerdy girl over the star quarterback"
>"her legs quivered with anticipation"
>Ok let's try this book with a werewolf on the cover
>"Stop it you're hurting me!"
>"You're mine!" he cried out as he bit down on her shoulders.
>"her body betrayed her as her core tightened involuntarily at the pain."
>Okay let's try one of the historical looking books
>"M'lord you must let me go, you must! I am betrothed to another."
>"Your lips say no m'lady but your body is more honest."
>"the delicate folds of her quim glistened with feminine dew. how could she behave so wantonly in front of this man, this stranger?"
why do girls do this?
You will still always be a chud, chud.
Chud = Chad + Stud
And to say we will always be chuds does not inflict psychological trauma whatsoever. Its so cringe to see you finally try to use our modus operanti against us and its still nothing but weak. Its not even annoying. The left cant meme might be the biggest true-ism of our times.
You will never stop so you leave us no other options. Soon righteous fury will purge you from this realm. No mercy. Once we decide to git. There is nothing that will save you. You hate life and competence so much you kept asking for this. And you shall receive.
Same reason men consume porn, smut and erotica etc, moron.
Did you just dox your sister to prove a point? I know we cant do anything with this info, just kinda weird.
Is it any worse than the time IQfy stalked a youtuber and forced her into doing nude art?
No... but his post did get deleted
>get deleted
Stop using the passive voice. It's "he deleted the post" (as in me)
That's sad if true.
I'm using Storygraph. It's a lot less annoying than goodreads for me
Does StoryGraph give good statistics? I have like mad autism when it comes to stats and goodreads fricking sucks on that aspect
I think it's still a work in progress, but it's definitely a focus. Advanced stats is the entire selling point of the paid version. I've been having a lot of fun investigating myself to try and remember when exactly I read all this shit. The last few years are pretty easy because I can look up exactly when I downloaded an epub, or posted about a book on Twitter, but trying to figure out exactly what month my 4th grade teacher had me read The Odyssey or whatever is the real challenge
Wait so you have to pay for stats liek that? Frick that..
That one's free, but stuff like seeing your ratings split by genre are paid. I don't know all specifics, they probably cover it in the pricing page. I paid anyway because I have too much expendable income and don't want my work entering the data to go to waste when they shut down
I don't pay for Storygraph and find the statistics you can view sufficient.
>whats an alternative for this pile of shit?
None, the people of Goodreads actually read.
I tried the StoryGraph this year and it’s a lot better. You can do half point reviews, the review system as a whole is better, it automatically gives you stats about your reading goal, and it’s not social media Lite(tm) or owned by Amazon. Some of the input user data is a bit wonky and I do enjoy seeing what others put down in their reviews.
I just realized as I was adding reviews that it shows you the exact percentages of how people answer the questions. How wonky exactly would you say these responses are? Like, obviously Sarah J. Maas scores are inflated by her unerring ability to appeal to femcels, but I'm unsure how that translates generally
Cann I add books by myself there? Just searched for a book there that I read today and it wasnt listed
