It would be nice visually to have the cover of the book on the Review page so it's a lot easier to scroll and find the one you were looking for PLUS it makes it pretty for screenshotting and sharing!

Added a mock-up of how it could look like for desktop/mobile :)

Right now there's only one way (that I know of) to get to the streak page. Can we also link to the streak page from the stats streak section as well.

It's currently Home>Streak

If you can link the Streak section it could be Stats>Streak

OR Profile>Stats>Streak as well.

I'm helping my friends find it all the time because their apps are defaulting to open on their profile page so it's buried for them.

My partner and I share a book library (and have for many years) and I would love if we could have a shared 'owned books' section. If they were linked, we could both benefit from using the 'owned' filter in To-Read Pile and other bits of functionality.

I think it would be cool to see the collective number of pages in books added to a challenge.

So when I make a challenge to track my library books I can see book a, book b and book c equal 920 pages all together so I have to read such and such pages per day to finish them before the due date. Or just as a fun fact feature like oh you've read all of the books in this Stephen King challenge? You've read a billion pages!

As it is now, the personalized recommendations seem to pull from your average ratings to determine what is a low or high score. However, I am more likely to choose a book I think I will like, so of course most of my books are rated 3 stars or above.

This becomes a problem when the AI says something like "This book has _____ theme, which is present in your lower rated reads (Title, 3.75 stars)"

If we could establish a custom (or even if a general one was established) scale for what our ratings mean the AI could compare it to that instead, which would be helpful.

It would really interesting to have a plot for date or year a book was bought vs the year it was read. To have an idea of how long it took to read it. This would be particularly interesting for people who tend to buy a lot but not read as much, having a visual evidence of how much they are buying each year vs how much they are reading each year would be really cool.

Obviously this would require a "buy day" field that readers would have to fill in, but I don't think that's too hard to add.

I’d like to be able to edit the edition of a book but it still retains the history, rather than becoming a whole other entry.

I have hardcover special editions of a series where the prequel is included in the first book, and a novella is included in the third book. I wish there was a way to link or separate these within the special editions so each book's pages could be tracked individually. It’s like having two books in one, but it’s not a collection since the novellas are just included in the special edition hardcovers and aren’t listed as part of the main books.

Can there be a chart that shows personal review elements for a book, versus the Storygraph review elements? By review elements, I mean the review of what moods, pace, genre, etc. I would like to see my stats using my own reviews, and then comparisons of the review elements that Storygraph uses. There is a couple of charts featured in the Pro version on the prior year wrap, but it would be awesome to have this all the time.

I started rereading a lot of books. And in the journal entries page for each book, if I'm reading the same edition, it would be nice to be able to filter which journal entries are for which reads. This would be especially helpful for long books where one might have dozens, if not hundreds, of entries.

Ability to sync your calibre library with StoryGraph (and back the other way) including star ratings, notes, tags, dates read, etc.

I would love a way to quickly copy a book cover from the app so I can paste it into Canvas (or something similar). I used to screenshot and crop, but now the app no longer allows it, which means I have to leave the app and pull a pic from another app/site.

Sometimes I'll try to read a book, throw it on pause (love that feature) and come back a month later to clear out my paused book and some time after THAT decide.... I should finish that book.
I'd love a feature to resurect or, try again with a DNF book, where it starts tracker where you left off, rather than beginning the tracker at 0, and adding all the pages between to your read count.

The other issue I have with the current system is that it counts a DNF'd book as completed. If you go back and finish the book it counts THAT as completed as well, so you have 2 completions for the same book.

There could be an option when you finish the book for Why you DNF'd and Why you returned.

I would love to find books that are between a certain number of pages (perhaps I can set a specific range).

Does The StoryGraph have warrant canary and if not would you be willing to set one up as a protection to account holders and a signal to media/journalists?

Given the current political environment federally and in many states, I'd hate for The StoryGraph to be served a subpoena for account records and also be barred from publicly acknowledging it.

I know it's an old school tool, but I'm hoping businesses and service providers might revive the practice. Thanks for considering!

You can already filter your TBR by their Owned status but not your Owned books by their TBR status. I happen to have a lot of books catalogued as owned on TSG that I don't necessarily want to read and that aren't on my TBR, and being able to filter for those would be very useful. Thank you <3

It would be great if we had the option to hide total books read in the period we are viewing for graphs.

It would be great for those of us who are trying to take the self-inflicted pressure off reading. Even though I've not set myself a goal this year, I can still see how many books I've read when I open the graphs and can't help but compare to last year.

I know we could count up the numbers on the graphs, but it would be nice to have the option to hide it anyway 😊

(P.S. thanks for all your hard work)

Disclaimer: I know it's not the first time it's been mentioned and the possibility of this purely depends on tech stack/cost.

So many books on TSG have significantly wrong pace/moods that were set when the book only had a few reviews and over time more accurate data was collected.
Currently every change requires a separate ticket to Abbie which seems very inefficient and time consuming both for her and for people who are bothered by incorrect tags.

Would it be too costly to have an automated background job that runs every time the review with mood/pace is added to a book, so that the tag data is always accurate?

It would be great if users could have an option to choose how their progress percentage is displayed either bar or button. I personally prefer the previous button version vs the progress bar.

At the moment when a user has only read a little bit of a book at the beginning, there are a situations where the Green progress bar cut through/makes the percentage number very difficult to read. Basically the green progress bar splits up the percentage number, which can sometimes make it very difficult to read. i’m taking an example of a book. I just started today. That is at 10% and it’s pretty difficult to see the one next to the zero because of the green progress bar.

We are starting to see books being written, graphic novels being illustrated, and audio books being narrated by generative AI. I believe that the best way for us combat generative AI is by not supporting authors who admit to using generative AI for covers, story or audio books. This could be hard to do because authors who use generative AI aren't upfront about it.

I propose that librarians can add tags to books that authors admit to using generative AI for. Having authors admit to this is the only reliable way to tell unfortunately, otherwise, this becomes a witch hunt.

It would be great when we are in the challenges to be able to add books from our reading or read list. instead of having to go in our read list and than adding it to the challenge.

I add anything that sounds mildly interesting to my tbr so I like to clean it up occasionally and being able to filter on average star ratings would help me to decide if a book is worth it or how to prioritise my tbr.

Add the ability to pick a custom date range, YTD, quarters, MTD, etc. in the compare stats on plus, not just the year or month as a whole. I’m interested in comparing my progress year over year and currently I have to go into each month to get the numbers and calculate them elsewhere.
