I would love to be able to filter past meetings by book title, author name and date, so I can easily check if the club has read a specific book or something by a specific author before, or check what we read in a certain time frame.

Hi! 👋 When looking at the Editions section of a book, it would be super helpful if the editions I’ve interacted with (read, reading, paused, DNFed, or owned) appeared at the top of the list - above the rest of the editions.

Right now, the edition I opened is at the top, then the filter, and then all other editions.
If I’ve read or own multiple editions, it’s hard to find them quickly.

Two possible improvements:
• Sort editions so that read / owned / reading / paused / DNFed ones always show first.
or
• Add a filter option to show only read or owned editions.

This would make it much easier to track and manage books with several editions - especially for people who collect, reread, or compare them.

Thank you! 💛

Hi! 👋 I’d love a feature that lets us link books that are part of a larger collection or split into multiple volumes.

Right now, StoryGraph shows “You’ve read another edition” if you read a different version of the same book - which is great!
But this doesn’t work well when:
• A single book is split into several parts across different editions.
→ Example: The Count of Monte Cristo is sometimes published in 3 separate volumes.
• Or when multiple short works are grouped into one collection.
→ Example: Lady Susan, The Watsons, Sanditon is often published together, but also exists as three separate books.

It would be amazing to have a “contained books” option, where you can:
• Link smaller books that make up a bigger one (or vice versa).
• Automatically mark a collection as “read” once all its parts are read.
• Automatically mark contained works as “read” if you finish the full collection.
• See something like “You’ve read this as part of a collection” when viewing a linked title.

This would make reading stats, challenges, and collections much more accurate - especially for classics, anthologies, and multi-volume works.

Thank you so much for considering it! 💛

Hello! I would love to see a chart related to how long (on average) it takes you to read a book based on page count. Maybe for a v1, it could be a comparison of the three lengths provided by default, but it could evolve to show more custom categories (like in Custom charts). I would like to see how long on average it takes me to read a book that's 200 pages vs 400 pages vs 600 pages.

Being able to set granular private/friends-only/public visibility permissions on ratings and reviews would be amazing.

I don't want to have my reviews publicly available, but I would like for my friends to be able to see them instead of hiding them away in private notes.

As is the nature with the web, sometimes people create accounts and use a site for a bit and then forget about it for a stretch of time or get caught up with something else. It'd be nice to be able to filter the Similar Users section by users with recent activity (something like, "has reviewed a book in the last 3 months"). This way, you're more likely to see people who are active on the platform currently.

Would love a way to set specific tags to challenge prompts so that books read with that tag added will automatically add themselves to that prompt. This could be specifically helpful with large challenges like reading a book from every country. A participant could effectively tag each prompt. Putting it on the participant would also make sure people have full control over how their tags are set up and if they want to use the auto system on each challenge.

Often I find myself realizing that I have already completed a few prompts only when I check my tags.

One thing I miss from GR is the preview of the blurb of a book when you hover over the title/cover. You can see the first 100 or so characters of the description when hovering the mouse. (I've recently moved over from GoodReads - love it here!)

So you can get an idea of a book without having to click through to it, which given that SG sometimes loses my place if I click through and then use the back button to return to the results list would be really handy.

Hi! I have a tag I reference often. Right now I have it bookmarked in my web browser because in-app requires several clicks. I’d love the ability to star or bookmark specific tags right on the homepage!

Would love some sort of button, icon, or visual cue to indicate if a book is marked owned. Think like a blue check on some social media. Could tell at a glance if a book/edition was owned and then not buy it again in store 😅😅

Add a way for users to indicate that a book does not have numbered pages but has tracked parts.

I read a lot of trade paperbacks (collections of previously published comic books) and some of them do not re-number their pages when they combine the books. They do give you an indication of how many books/chapters are in the series (ex: 3 of 12, 2 of 6) so I'd like to be able to indicate the number of chapters in a trade paperback/graphic novel, put in what part I've finished, and have it auto-calculate the percentage and page numbers.

Example: https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/f4c81882-a81d-4335-bf5d-4f4ad8c51e71

This book has no page numbers but it has 12 chapters. So after finishing chapter 6, it would tell me that I'm 50% finished or finished approximately 164 pages. There's often some extra material in the Trade Paperbacks that don't count toward the story but I think the page number approximation is fine in these cases.

When searching for or adding a new edition the ISBN has to be given without any separators/blank space.

It would be great to be able to copy/paste the ISBN as it is from, for example, the publisher page and when pressing a button "Cleanup ISBN" or something like that, all "-" or empty spaces are removed. Or convert it automatically on "submit" into to searchable form.

Otherwise I have to do this myself every time because in most cases an ISBN is shown in "human readable" (978-1-123-12345-0) form not as a simple string without separators.

When searching through editions of books, I think it would be a slight improvement to have your filter options saved to a default chosen by the user.

I am currently in a Book Club and start Buddy Reads using the JOIN MEETING approach. There 18 members in the book club so 3 of us are left out of the Buddy Read. Is there any way to extend how many people can join a Buddy Read to reflect who is all in the Book Club group?

I currently use a custom tag for my Romantasy reads and would love to have the option of having a specific tag instead. It would be more helpful when searching for recommendations too. 🥰

I would love to be able to send a list to someone.
I’ve encouraged a few people to sign up with The StoryGraph but they’re slow to adopt new apps/tech. They also look to me for book suggestions (that I send but get buried/forgotten).

I created a tag for books I’d recommend for one person in particular. I’d love to send her that list. Then she could add them all to her TBR without having to type each book title in the search box. What a great starting point for new users without feeling overwhelmed with a blank slate.

I suspect this is niche but wanted to throw out there anyhow, just in case. Gracias :)

Hello! I recently hit 1000 days on my StoryGraph streak and I'm pretty proud of it, but I noticed that on my profile, it shows as "1k" instead of displaying the number. This bums me out a little because it's now going to be another 980+ days before it looks any different. I know there has to be some kind of truncating limit on a number like that, but I'm wondering if maybe the font could just get a little smaller for four digit numbers so that the limit could be TEN thousand instead of one? I feel like if I manage to track my reading for another 25 years in StoryGraph, I'll be okay with it showing "10k" 😂

It would be great if we could choose the aspect ratio of our cover collages to fit nicely in an Instagram post/social media post. Right now if you read over about 15 books in a month the collage image gets cropped when posting. A 3:4 (1080x1350] option would be fantastic!

I use a custom chart to track my ratings for books. In this column chart, I use tag lists to segregate the books. For example, look at the 5.0 star column in the screenshot below where it says 17. But there are only 15 books under this tag.

This makes the custom chart incorrect. Please include an option in custom charts to selectively account for re-reads when using tags to make a chart.

under the standard moods pie chart, the list of all moods is displayed, ordered by the most frequent to the last frequent, and you can select them to hide or display them.

It would be nice to have the same thing under custom pie charts, possibly with a toggle to add it or not, because in pie charts with a lot of values it becomes impossible to read or select them.

For example I have the attached pie chart with authors nationalities but it's not really readable without the list of values below

Mythology doesn't neatly fit into any of the current genres. It isn't really fantasy, historical fiction or magical realism. It is such a popular genre right now so it should be represented

We all rate books on a 0-5 star rating scale, but it leaves out how much we enjoyed the book. Sometimes a 2 star book is a 5 star enjoyment read.

i didn't find any similar thread
it would be nice for each book to see something similar to the book statistics in goodreads, seing something like:

• average rating
• how many people read it
• how many people have it in TBR
• how many people DNF
  and a chart with the evolution overt time of these metrics

it could be nice also a graph with when a new editions is published over time, to see how many times and how often it gets published again

When using the camera scan to read a ISBN, sometimes it reads it incorrectly.
I guess it is inevitable as the photo could be bad quality, a number could be a bit cancelled, and so on (even if sometimes it can happen also with good quality small ones, like confusing 6s with 8s)

The last digit of a ISBN is a check digit though (both in ISBN 10 and ISBN 13), so it's very easy to check if a ISBN is valid or not by checking this digit.

It would be nice to add a validator to the camera scan, so if the wrongly scanned ISBN is not valid, it can give a popup error saying it can't read the isbn, rather then redirecting to the book import page autofilling it with the wrong ISBN, which could lead to people trying to import wrong ISBNs or adding those manually, or simply thinking that their book is not in storygraph even if actually it's already present, and by scanning again maybe they would find it.

I would love to be able to format my extra text about content warnings in the same way I can format my review. Right now, I have to insert <br/> to separate my notes with newlines!
