I tend to do reading challenges that the goal is to pick books from your TBR for the prompt. It would be great if there’s an option to see your TBR right from the challenge page instead of having to flip between the challenge page and my profile page.

I know we can add books from our TBR to a challenge but I’d like to stay on the challenge page so I can look at other books people have added.

Most of the other reading apps I use have a calendar feature that has the cover(s) of each book read each day. I'd love it if the Storygraph did this too rather than color coding!

Would it be possible to hide the star-reviews my friends have given a book on the book page under the "people you follow" section? I would really like for it only to be visible when you click "see all". Sometimes I don't want to be biased from the get-go by what the people I follow think of a book before I read it or consider it even. Thanks! :)

I'll explain in a practical example: "War and Peace" is 1 book, but because it is such a large one, most publishers divide it into multiple volumes. I have the book in 4 volumes, and once read, my stats will say that I've read 4 books by Leo Tolstoy. It's not accurate, I've only read 1 book, it just so happens that it is divided in 4 physical volumes. I think we should be able to divide them in different volumes in storygraph (different ISBN, covers, page numbers, etc), but make them part of one single book, so the author stats (and other stats like moods/genres etc) are also correct.

I've been quite hesitant to track my manga/comic/graphic novel reading on SG since I don't want to drown out my goals for reading traditional novels by sheer volume (it's very easy to read multiple volumes of those three formats in a single day in comparison to a fully text novel) so it'd be nice if they could, possibly (if doable), have their own separate reading list, annual goals/streak, and/or stats page.

Or barring that if we could link a secondary account to our main account to view the stats of.

Current reads on the home page would be better as a carousel so that I can see more than just the most recently edited 3.

I like categorising my tags with specific prefix/suffixes: e.g., for authors I track how old they were when they published the book (auth30s, auth40s, etc.).
It would be great if instead of adding the tags one by one, we can define a "rule" in custom graphs, so all current (and future!) tags with same prefix/suffix will be automatically added to the plot (e.g., auth*).

With this way, when I introduce a new tag in the future, I wouldn't need to adjust my custom graph.

While the generated Summary wrap-up is available in both square and vertical formats, just split into multiple pages when converted to a square, it would be super neat to have the same for the Cover and Ratings Collages. It would make it easy to share to socials

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)

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!!🤍
