When clicking on an authors name, it takes me to a page of all the books they have written and/or contributed to. I would like to be able to toggle between books where they are the primary author versus books they contribute toward. Tayari Jones is an example. 22 books come up, but she's only the primary/sole author of like 5. I would like to easily see the difference with a filter/toggle. Thank you!

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?

At the moment when you view a Challenge you have joined, the books appear to be sorted in the order they were added.

Add a sorting option.

• Added order
  • I assume this is the current default ordering, and would represent the order they were added to the Challenge
• Read order
  • eg grouped Reading, Read, Unread [per user]
• Unread order
  • eg grouped Unread, Reading, Read [ per user]
• Priority order
  • this would be if you allowed the user to drag and reorder the book entries, but obv would require more infrastructure than simply supporting the grouping options above

Rationale: If there are dozens of books in the Challenge and I've read some number and maybe have a couple others in the middle of Currently Reading, it's fiddly to either easily see the ones I've done, or to see which ones are still to be read.

It's possible this suggestion is mostly of use for a Challenge which is to Read a Number of books from a selection.

At the moment a Challenge either has an open date range (and goes forever) or has a fixed date range.

Many challenges are really recurring challenges, such as a yearly challenge or a monthly challenge.

This suggestion is that the date option allows for turning the challenge into a recurring challenge.

The simplest form would be allowing an extra set of radiobuttons next to the date range (which can't be open) to not recur (default, as now), recur monthly or recur annually. The challenge title would then be suffixed.

Eg.
I create a Christmas Challenge to read 2 books (Number Challenge) and for the date range I might put Dec 15 -> Dec 31, and I select the radio button option of Recur Annually.
This creates a Christmas Challenge (2026) for this year. Next year it would auto create a new one called Christmas Challenge (2027).

I love scrolling the news feed and seeing what others have been up to but I’m not super interested in seeing my own reading there as events. I keep thinking that someone I know is reading the same book as me. I’d love to be able to toggle myself off there :)

I wish for additional social media icons for links outwards to other social media than just the big US-american proprietary ones.

Especially for the Fediverse, (Mastodon, Pixelfed and others) which i use since Meta and X started going downhill in usability and political influence.

But also some others which are important for book influencers, to their blogs or newsletters like from steady or ghost or patreon would be nice.

I know i can already set a link, but its sad not to have the icon.

Can you add a quick link to 'recently read books' on the main page or in the quick access bar? I feel like I have to click a bunch to get to that page and I go there a lot.

I'd love to be able view stats for the books i own physical editions of seperately from those I own audio or digital editions of. A secondary drop down or set of radio buttons for format would be amazing. Just generally adding more filters to the stats pages, like the ability to exclude certain tags etc. would be great too!
