I do not know what to call this but I want to be able to import a Storygraph backup file the same way you can do with Goodreads backup files.

I periodically save backups of all of my stuff and, if I were to ever lose access to my account, I could not imagine re-entering all of these books by hand. I am begging you to please make it an option for us to import from a Storygraph file backup.

Connect bookshop.org library so owned ebooks can be added to your SG library automatically and in-progress/completed reads can be added to your current and recent reads in SG automatically (or according to users' settings or preferences)

Sometimes I'll mark a book to read.
And maybe a year later I'll buy the book and start reading it and mark it as currently reading. And finish it, and mark it as Read.

However, sometimes the edition I marked as To Read was not the one I later marked as reading and Read. This makes it look like I still want to read the book.

I think it would be handy to have a filter to show books where there are editions that you have a status against more than one, to help users do cleanup for unintentional things like the above.

Variant: maybe optionally allow for checking more than one status for the same edition? Such cases would be less about cleanup and more about intentional rereads, or re-attempts for a DNF plus a Currently Reading, for example.

I would love more information or statistics on the series pages. Like, for example, the status of the series (ongoing, unfinished, finished etc.), year of first and latest part, authors and contributors (like illustrators for a comic), how many parts there are, original language, number of languages it's available in on TSG, which part has the highest/lowest score, average score for the whole series, how many users have read the series and so on. Would be really fun!

I would like to be able to have an easy way to access other editions of a book that I've read multiple times.

I am meticulous about the specific edition/format while tracking reading. It's not uncommon for me to read the digital edition first and a paperback/hardback edition on a reread, etc. Currently, when you click on the view/edit read history from a books main page, you'll see the total number of times you've read that book with years listed and then more specific dates for that particular edition (see photo attached).

It appears that the Reading History page is tied to individual edition Book ID. Would it be possible to either:
A) change the Reading History Page to be tied to the Book Family ID and have links to each edition tracked, or
B) have a link to other editions read on the individual Reading History page as it currently exists?

Some books take forever to finish, some you breeze through. Maybe it would be interesting to see the average length of time it took people to finish a book (in days) as a piece of info on the book's page? Could be a gateway stat for a summary stat showing which ones were super slow going for you compared to the average as well?

It might be a nice end of year stat that Storygraph could generate:

• The book you rated the most above the average
• The book you rated the most below the average

eg, a book that's averaging 2.8 stars and you gave it a 4.5. A book that was 4.1 stars that you gave 1.5 stars.

Don't know if you need to tweak that one though because books with only one or two ratings might swing wildly and be less interesting than even books with just 50 ratings, or enough to even out a bit.

I love that I can see which of my friends read/reviewed/dnf'd a book etc, on the book's page. I would love if it is also said "So and So title is on this_user's Favorites Shelf" too!

I would like to get into the habit of rereading my favorite books more, but there are so many of them that I just get overwhelmed. Would it be possible to occasionally add books from my read pile to the up next suggestions even without manually moving them to the tbr first? It could use a similar logic as the usual up next suggestions, just pull from a different source and also take into account my rating and the time I last read it.

This mostly concerns classics. I think it would be useful to have an official label or tag for abridged and/or adapted book families, like for easyread versions where the story is retold in simpler words, or kid adaptations or where the book is simply abridged in some way.

In the future when we'll hopefully be able to filter on the author pages, it would be very helpful to be able to exclude all abridged books for example.

Id love to be able to search for book recommendations based on original language :)

Having an interface that shows a more compact view of challenges ive joined would be helpful to reduce scrolling. I like seeing the percentage finished for each without having to click into the challenge, but maybe just showing it in the format of a straight bar instead of the current large circle would be better. This would be similar to how the book/pages/hours goals show in the challenge interface already.

I love the book length graph but I also think it would be cool to see the pie graph with a toggle to change the expression.

For example currently one 600pg book = 1 value, and one 50pg book = 1 value, but it would be cool to have the option to see it expressed where the 600pg book = 600 value, and the 50pg book = 50 value etc. so even sorted into the current page count categories you could see the specific "amount" of reading you've done in that way. Hope I explained that well enough.

Hi, I tend to read a lot of digital official manga from sites like Webtoon and Tapas. Most of these manga's are still updating, so the completion of a season or volume isn't known yet.

When I want to update how far I am, the only option I'm getting is percentage, which is impossible to know since it hasn't finished. Hence I would love for this to have the pages option still so it doesn't mess with my stats.

Thank you!

It would be cool if reading challenges had the option to allow for participants to consider challenges complete if they fulfill a certain number of prompts. I know sometimes hosts would only want everyone to do just a certain number and would like their challenges to be on the Storygraph, but participants would feel pressure to complete them all even when they don't strictly need to for that particular challenge.

Some authors go by multiple names. I've also had an issue with an author being listed by their first and last name on some books but first, middle, and last on others, which makes the system read those as two different names. Could there be some way to identify to the system that these are indeed the same author?

Thanks!

When generating monthly or custom wrap-ups, there are 3 books that are seen with covers (highest rated or 5-star reads). It would be nice to choose which books show up if there are more than 3 that “qualify”. I noticed that in case there would be more than 3 books with the same ratings, the app chooses the books read last. I would love to be able to choose which 3 book covers are seen if I had more than 3 5-star reads for example. Thank you for this amazing app!!🤍

The ability to select your current reading Streak as a time period in the Stats dropdown.
Currently Plus can do a custom period, and I love the ability to generate Wrap-Up graphics for that period, but having to count or look up forever many days it’s been is cumbersome to achieve the result.
This could also be integrated into the Streak page?

Keep up the great work, Nadia!

I know we can sort all comments by descending instead of ascending, but if a person is replying to an old comment, you still have to scroll all the way to see the new response. Through notifications, you have to click one at a time. I'd love some sort of way to just see all new comments.

It would be great to sort by time commented rather than part of the book (including replies—if the parent comment is 4 days old but there's a reply from 1 minute ago, I still want the parent and subcomment to be at the top as "new"). A filter would always be nice, but I'm assuming timestamps would be easier to not miss anything.

My mom is catching up on an old buddy read I already finished and I'm having to scroll through all the comments again each time to see her responses. It's that, or going one by one in notifications.

If I'm just missing an easy way to do this, please let me know!

I’d like the ability to use themes/moods/genres/book format that are already stored on the books in custom charts instead of having to use only custom tags.

I.e. I’d like to compare the Young Adult Genre with my ‘Not YA’ custom tag
And a pie chart of paperback vs hardback books etc

I think it would be interesting to see how many different languages a book family has on TSG along with how many different editions there are. How successful a book is is often measured in terms of translation to other languages, so it would be useful information.

So then you could see that a book has 17 editions and 5 languages for example.

I regularly find myself manually adding data to existing titles or completely adding new books onto Storygraph. I really enjoy doing this and contributing to the community. However, it's difficult when there are multiple authors/series with the same name already logged into the system, and I don't know which one of these identical names/series to select. There's a 4-digit code attached to the names, but no clear information on what it means.
I've noticed that this has clearly been an issue for other people before, too, as I've seen some book series with books from completely different series that just happen to share the same name grouped together. I'm unsure how to report this either, as 'the series isn't called x, it's called x' doesn't seem particularly helpful!
I'd love for this to be remedied :)

I would suggest a this day in reading. The ability to see what you were reading on today’s date in year’s past, how many books/pages you read by this point last year, by this point in the month last year, etc.

The option to hide a completed book for a reading challenge prompt is available if you're the creator of the challenge, but not if you're participating in someone else's challenge. Make that option available to anyone?
