Would it be possible to see the stats breakdown for the books marked as to-read AND owned? I mark basically every book I hear about as to-read lol, so having the option to see the stats on which and what kind of books I own but have yet to read would be amazing

There are a number of challenges created based on a count, something like “Read 13 Books about Magic.” Right now, people are working around this by making 13 separate prompts for “Book 1, 2, 3, etc.” but the order doesn’t actually matter. Doing it in multiple entries makes it more difficult to see all the books that have been added.

It would be great if community-created challenges could edit the required count per challenge prompt (default 1).

That way, I could tag any books I might want to read to the single challenge prompt, and the prompt would be complete as soon as I met the required minimum number.

For the audiobook stats it would be great if we could have them broken down further on the pie chart. For example 8 to 16 hours is a really long range. It would be better to have that broken into 4 hour increments.

Could grooming be added to the list of content warnings please?

It would be awesome to include similar books when leaving a review of a book. For example, when you finish one book you could list 3 other books it reminded you of. That would make it easier to find books with similar styles!

I was kind of surprised recently that Western wasn't available as a genre. Maybe it's because I'm American, but our bookstores often have several shelves of "westerns." I guess Western counts as a sub-genre of historical, but I feel like it's distinct enough to count as its own genre. And sometimes it's not historical, like a lot of modern western romance.

I was looking for some weird western books and thought I'd be able to just filter for Fantasy and Western, but couldn't. (I have added it to my preferences, but not all the books that show up are weird western and filtering fantasy and historical doesn't get me what I want.)

Some reviews contain spoilers. It would be nice to hide these, or report them for hiding.

We know that the mean of a distribution does not tell the whole story. It would be great to be able to visualize the distribution of ratings for a given book. Is it all 4.5s? Or is it some combination of mostly 5s and 1s?

The ability to exclude books and authors from recommendations is really helpful, but (unless I just haven't found it) there's no way to access that list of excluded titles and authors. Mis-clicks happen, tastes change, and it would be helpful to be able to see that list and no longer hide something previously put on the exclusion list.

Have a checkbox option on the recommendation preferences page to include data from recent reads.

I'm imagining something like, if you have read lots of romance compared to other genres in the last 3 months, add romance to the genre list that the algorithm is using (if it's not already there). If you've rated horrors a lot lower than other genres recently, don't show so many horrors. And of course the same goes for the more specific micro features, not just genres.

I actually forgot that storygraph didn't already do something like this and so did a friend, I guess because we're so used to algorithms adapting based on our data everywhere else! It came up in discussion and this is what prompted me to make this request. Ofc it's good that it's not automatic, imo, because having the option to tell it what you want and only get those is great, but having the option to have it take into account recent months reading data would also be useful for many I think.

When looking at book recommendations, it would be great to filter results to only show books reviewed by TSG friends so I can see where we overlap (and save me clicking through)

For reading challenges that are quite long, it can be hard to see which prompts are still left to go. For this challenge (https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/862c3ed0-ea8f-41f2-92d4-979215d30c16), I have 75% of the prompts completed. With books added to every prompt, you can only see ~2 prompts per screen (a little bit more on my laptop, definitely maxed at two on mobile), and scrolling through to find which ones are not yet done is difficult. I would love to have a toggle up at the top with options to "show all" or "show incomplete".

I often come across reading challenges that I don't want to join (for example because I usually don't do yearly reading challenges, or because I don't want to read books for all the prompts) but that I find interesting because they have nice prompts and I'd like to go back to the challenge and use it to find new books for my tbr down the line.

In that case, I'd love to be able to bookmark a challenge, instead of joining it, so I can access my bookmarks directly in the app and don't have to keep them in my browser (as I do now).

In the web UI (preferably) or add average rating field to user library export CVS so I can sort it offline.

Thank you! This is the feature I desperately miss from Goodreads.

Id like to compare how many books i reread vs how many new books i read in a year

Hello! Apologies if this has already requested, I didn't see it when I searched. I'd love if from the book page I could click the "You have added this book to [Reading Challenge]" under activity and have it bring me to the reading challenge referenced (ideally to the prompt the book is assigned to). And/or have the specific prompt listed on the book page as well!

I would love to have an icon or other simple indicator to show what format an edition is on the book page without needing to go over to the editions page.

Some times I have to DNF a book because I have to return a book to the library. If I eventually want to reread the book I will start from where I ended (if it hasn't been a long time), but when I start from where I left off it counts all those pages/hours again. Is there anyway to say you started from the middle of the book so the pages don't count twice?

I'd like to be able to pin a few challenges to the top so I don't have to scroll all the way down to find them. I'm thinking like my top 3-5 challenges that I'm keeping track of would be really nice.

To recommend similar books can be tough doing it through a computer system, so I thought it would be great if I as a reader had the option to suggest people books that are similar to each other.
It could be an extra part on the book page where people recommend books that are similar and maybe they would have a little bubble with a comment of the person that shared the book.
For example “I think you would also like this book because it’s a single parent + nanny romance and has the grumpy/shunshine trope as well”
English is not my native language so I hope you get what I wanted to describe.

I know that if you hit the "suggestions" button near the "Up Next " it gives you some machine learned suggestions for books to read and the rationale behind the suggestions. I think that's great.

What I would love is for one of the outputs to be a book that is extremely different (but still "good") from everything else I read. It should be able to do his by parsing that same data that it uses to select books based on what you have been reading, and what fits with your current reading trends and all that. This time though, it just finds the under represented/less logged moods, pace, type and genre from your data.

I feel like this would allow for more visibility into the corners and blindspots of our reading selections and allow us to broaden our reading horizons more easily.

I love planning out my reading and buying and I think it would be really nice to have a calendar feature or "upcoming" feature that shows you when books on your TBR/list are being published. I'd also love to opt-in on notifications like "a book you added is published today!"

If you are reading an edition with multiple books included, there should be a feature where it counts for the number of books in the anthology.

It would be great to have an option to filter to remove the currently unpublished books from the TBR list!

I'm not sure how to word this to see if it's already been suggested, but I would like to see stats for specifically my answers the review questions. A pie chart for how many I've answered as "character based" vs "plot based" or which I've considered diverse or not. In the same vein, it bothers me that the pie charts that indicate a book's mood and the one for pace are NOT based on my answers to those questions. If I think a book is fast paced, but the majority has labeled it as medium paced, my own stats display it as medium. Same with book moods.
