With more people looking for alternatives to scrolling, puzzle books, brain teasers, and activity books are gaining popularity. Would StoryGraph consider adding a Puzzle & Activity Books genre so readers can properly categorize and track these books?

For some nonfiction (especially textbooks) you wouldn't necessarily read in order, so it's hard to log those. It would be nice if each book had something like a checklist with each chapter and how many pages it is. You check one off when you complete any section and it calculates the total number of pages you've read so far. I have to read a lot in textbooks and it would be nice to be able to include that towards my page count more easily!

When reading reviews it would be nice to filter by language it have a translate feature.

While the buddy reads & readalongs are amazing features for less crowded book talk, it would be great to have a forum for each book, so people could exchange more broadly.

There could also be a mandatory progress label for us to fill before commenting in the main forum, as to avoid spoilers.

As a budding book collector, I would love an option where I can save a book I am looking to buy, regardless of whether I want to read it or not. Often, I have read it already, but am looking to buy a nicer bound version, for example. Similarly to "owned books", maybe there could be an option for such a list? Or just the option to have a custom book list of you choosing?

Would it be possible to move the compare stats button somewhere else on desktop? Whenever I adjust the dropdowns, my brain keeps reading it as an "okay" button that I need to click to confirm my choices. The page auto-updates after clicking out of a dropdown, but I keep hitting the "compare stats" button like it's a confirmation, which takes me to a new page, and hitting the back button just takes me back to the default stats page, so I have to set the dropdowns again (and remember not to hit the "compare stats" button this time). I think just not having it centered under the stats dropdown would help a lot. Alternatively, I think I would actually LIKE having a confirm button so the page isn't updating as I realize I've selected the wrong month, etc. and I have to wait a sec to fix it.
This is a very small thing that nonetheless keeps getting me.

Whenever I go to create a new custom chart these days I end up discovering that what I want isn't possible. Very often, I want to combine different tags when creating a chart.

Example:
How many of the books I've read have a female main character (tag 1) written by a male (tag 2) vs. female author (tag 3) compared to male main character (tag 4) written by a male (tag 2) vs. female author (tag 3).

I'd like this to be a bar chart with these 4 bars:
tag 1 + tag 2
tag 1 + tag 3
tag 4 + tag 2
tag 4 + tag 3

(Ideally I'd then also love to compare this with rating information, e.g. to see which of the four combinations I rate highest (so a bar showing the number of books for each combination that have a rating higher than 3), but that would probably make it too complicated because it would be basically two charts in one).

Ability to distinguish these common book world terms in our stats as well

Split DNF option into 2 types (not in the dropdown)
More of select DNF option and then select between soft or hard DNF

Plus with the ability in settings to turn off this multiple choice option and just have the regular DNF option only without asking to further dissect it.

I usually go back and forth between audiobook and physical since I listen to audiobooks when I'm driving for work.

I've been starting a book as a/p/h then switching to different edition as in format a/p/h before entering my progress in percentage or pages. However I noticed the "switched to this edition" does not appear in journal entries.

It would be more convenient for this to be possible than to notate every progress update if it was audiobook, paperback, or hardback for that portion as it could be hours later before I have time after work or the weekend to update.

Of course, theres still the option to ignore or delete that entry for those who use it differently than this.

Hello! Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I would love to filter out and find the "Not a book" entries I want to read. I can see that it's possible to filter by type (Fiction vs Non-Fiction) or only show by books you own or don't own, but I am really missing the "Not a book" option. It could be used to make sure you can read through your not a book's or to remove any errant entries from your TBR.

I frequently encounter the same book appearing multiple times on the To Read > Suggestions page.

For example, Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen is suggested for both "you've previously enjoyed this author's work" and "a user with similar taste...."

I would find the Suggestions more useful if this double-dipping wasn't allowed and a book could only be used once across all categories.

Currently when removing something from owned list, it just makes it like it was never on the list.
I think it would be good to have an option to have it on a got-rid-of list(or a nicer term for it).

That means you can keep track and not accidently rebuy books you have already decluttered and your friends wont got go thought you would like this book and you dont one to here is it as a gift (when the reason you dont own it anymore is you got rid of it)

I have just added all my books to my owned list, but I found I had duplicated some (note sure how). Having a warning when adding a book with something like
'you already have another edition of this book marked as owned would you like to -cancel adding this edition, -replace the edition on your list for this one or -add this edition anyway.'
With each hyphen being a button. This could help prevent accidental re-adds while still allowing it to happen (i have multiple copies of the same book, so I know some people will need that)

Sometimes I edit my reviews and the last edited date is changed. I would love it if we could sort the reviews we wrote (or on someone else's profile) by read date.

I don't really like just rating my books, mainly because even if I love two books, i can't give them both 5, or 4 stars, they need relationship to each other at the 5 or 4 star mark, but decimal point a are garbage as you may have hundreds of 4 star books. This is wher I think a tier list supported rating system would be interesting, allow users to create a tier list of their books, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, DNF; this would also create a very interesting system for recommendations. For example, my 5 star books could make a hash, all similar hashes that fall in the same bucket within a expected range, probably have a book that i would be interested in.

I love the suggestions page for deciding on my next book, but at times I will have put in my TBR a book that hasn't been published yet. I would like the suggestions to not include these since it is impossible for me to read them next.

If I listen to an audiobook with Libby, it would be great if it could automatically sync with The StoryGraph (basically, same as with Kobo, but for Libby audiobooks)!

A suggestion for some data clean up. Check all edition in family for missing or multiple series. I have found a lot of these so seems like an easy way to fix data that could run in off hours.

Tier lists are popular lately would be cool to turn a tag into a tier list.

I'd like to request a third theme option. Would it be possible to get a light theme with a light tan/cream/sepia type of background to replace the white?

Goodreads has this option and it would be extremely useful to have here as well. The spoiler tags only work on a single paragraph and adding multiple spoiler tags in a single review is inconvenient.

I would like to be able to see genres & tags by star rating. Ultimately, I'm looking for a quick way to see my top-rated reads by genre. The Ratings per Book Type comes close but doesn't quite get me there.

Rating labels on the monthly wrap-up summary graphic often obscure the author and the title of the book. It would be nice to have an option to generate this graphic without the ratings, just like there is a separate "cover collage" and a "ratings collage".

I would love the ability to first create tags, for instance on the "your-tags" page and then later assign them to the books. Right now, I need to go to a specific book to create a new tag, to me it would make sense to also allow tag creation on the "main" tag space, so to say. So I can easily see which tags I already have and directly add new ones.
