Better way to browse periodicals/series and search for issues

I've recently been reading some long-running short fiction periodicals. Some of them only have 100 or fewer issues, which makes browsing to find the correct issue in the series easier. But for others, especially ones that have been running 500+ issues it can be time intensive to find the right issue or to see if it's there. It also makes it hard to figure out if the issue you're reading has been added or not.

It would be great if there were a way to search within a series by issue number or title, or if there were just a way to look through that didn't require simply scrolling down until the end.

Indicator for Tag already added to custom chart

I love the new custom stats for pro users. My idea is at an individual chart level to either disable or add an indicator to the tags already added to that chart. For example I have a publisher chart and I don't need "Tor Publishing" twice but I can't tell if I already added it unless I scroll up and down my list. Thank you so much for the amazing Storygraph!

Option to include a DNF books in reading goal

I like to count certain books as part of my reading goal if I dnfed past a certain point. Maybe a prompt that asks you if you would like to count it still.

Ebooks/Audio/Physical

It would be nice to have a record of what format we read a book in. Sometimes we may have it in more than one format.

Export charts as images

Right now, when you hover over the charts, only the "Number of books and pages" can be copied as an image. It would be great if any of the charts could be copied or exported as an image (maybe with a download button in the corner to preserve the interactivity of the charts).

"All Books" stats view

I'd love a view in my stats that includes ALL the books I've tracked (Read + To Read + DNF). I've made a custom chart for "year added to TBR" and I really wish I could set a filter for "all books, all time" and get a sum of how many books total I added to my TBR for each year rather than having it split across multiple views.

Tags at the book level, not edition level

I feel like I might have made this suggestion before but I couldn't find it 😅 Apologies if this is a duplicate, I wish the roadmap tool let you look up a history of your own posts!

The next custom chart I'm working on is a "Date I Added It To My TBR" chart. I exported my data to get that info 🎉 and I'm going through all the books on my Read list and my TBR to add "tbr-add-XXXX" tags to every one. I just realized though that for books where I've read multiple editions, I have to remember to go into every single edition to add the same tag to them so that they will all show up correctly in the charts, since I read the different editions in different years. I wish there were a way that I could say "I added Gideon The Ninth, the book, to my TBR in 2020" and have any edition of it that I read know about that tag in my charts.

Exclude To Read Books fom Recommendations

A number of the recommendations I get are books I’ve already marked as “to read”. I’d love the option to exclude those from recommendations so I can get more recommendations for books I haven’t discovered yet. Thanks!

AI Recommendations

Pango books has a bot that recommends books based on pretty much anything you put in. It's given me some pretty good recommendations and is fun to use. I think it would be a great feature to have here

Show which books you completed for a challenge

It would be great if there was a way to show which book you completed for a reading challenge prompt. Perhaps if the cover was outlined in yellow like the "prompt complete."

View custom tags stats pages filtered by "read" time period

Custom reports and new tag stats are amazing!

I tag all the books I read for myself with a tag with my name. Then I tag all the books I read aloud to my child with a their name in the tag. But I've been using this tag for years. So now, when I try to view pro stats for the tag, it filters all the lifetime tag data.

I would LOVE to be able to filter that view so I see only what I've read in this calendar year or this month. Like

So, in other words, that filter logic would be:

Tag = "Name" AND status = "Read" AND date is "2024"

Adding colons to tags

This is a small idea, but with the ability to make custom charts based on tags I’ve been making more tags and have found it difficult to keep them organized. If I had the ability to add a colon so that I knew what chart or category a tag might belong to it would help with the organization! For example, one could have “representation: bisexual” and “author identity: bisexual” and be able to keep those two tags separate but organized. Hope this makes sense!

Ability to mention (or '@') books, authors, users

Idk if this is already on here (couldn't find it) but it would be awesome (though pretty unnecessary) to be able to 'mention' or '@' books or authors in our reviews.
For instance, if I want to post a link to another book in my review i have to go get the link to that book's page, type in the title, then hyperlink it.
But it would be cool to be able to type an @, type the first few letters of the book, select it from an autocomplete list (like the reading challenges), and then have it link automatically. It would also be really cool to be able to do this with author pages as well.
Small suggestion, just an idea to think about for any UI overhauls :)

Group tags in custom chart segments

This might be similar feature to this: https://roadmap.thestorygraph.com/de/requests-ideas/posts/tag-groups

I feel I've seen this request before, but I couldn't find it.

I would like to group several tags into one data point in my custom chart, e.g. having only one bar in my bar chart representing the tags "1860", "1870", "1880" and "1890" as "1800s".
The book count should be summed up, but books with several of those tags should only be counted once.

Custom order for custom chart segments

I would like the option to order my data points in my custom chart manually (as opposed to alphanumerically or by frequency), similar to how I can order the prompts in reading challenges.

Make owned books easier to spot on a list

To mark books as owned, the button has two simple status where just the text changes between them. So, the button says "mark as owned" and when clicked the copy changes to "owned". It works fine but when looking at a list of books is not easy to distinguish between both and I've found myself mistakingly clicking the button because I click faster than I read.
I'd love for the owned books to be easier to spot. Maybe the button could change color when clicked or a check mark could be added inside the button when the book is marked as owned?

Owning and reading different editions (or multiple) of the book

Sometimes I like to get an ebook of a book I own because it's either too heavy or it's a special edition I don't want to ruin. I would love an option where we can own different editions of a book or the ability to own a copy but also reading another (by utilizing the library for example).

See Books I've Read on Virtual Bookshelves

The biggest thing I miss about reading physical books is the ability to amass a personal library, where I can see all of my owned books on bookshelves. For many (like myself), we don't have room in our homes for so many books. I would love to see all the books I've read/owned on a virtual bookshelf. It could even be personalized, and users could see our personal library space (like a reading room). I haven't found any platforms that offer this, and would love to see it created here.

Because you read this...

Would it be possible to implement a feature that suggests similarly themed/vibed books because you highly rated another?

I recently read Call Me By Your Name and loved it. It really reminded me of The Catcher in the Rye in terms of the narration and themes. I would like to find similar books that also have a similar feel and then thought that it could be a cool feature!

Emoji reactions to reviews

Would be cool if people could allow emoji reactions on their reviews, similar to buddy read reactions—maybe with a setting like “who can react to my reviews?” and options “friends, followers, no one, etc”

Easier date accessibility for vintage books

I buy/collect a fair amount of vintage books from secondhand shops, and scrolling back to put in a date from 1983 or 1969 takes a really long time. Could the date add be an easier dropdown? Also, books only have the pub year, is a day and month always necessary?

Tags for reads/re-reads instead of just books

My favorite custom chart that I have made so far is my "book source" chart. I went through all my Read books and added tags for where the book was from when I read it.

However, if I ever re-read books in the same edition, my data will become incorrect.

Scenario:
I buy a new book and tag it "from-store". I read it this year and love it. In two years, I read that same edition again. I'm in a pickle... I need to either

  • have an erroneous "from-store" in my 2025 data
  • change the tag to "from-shelf" to be accurate in 2025 which would make 2023 inaccurate
  • pretend I'm reading a different edition even though it's the same one so that I can tag it differently

Add all books from reading challenge to TBR

It'd be great to be able to add all books from a reading challenge (e.g. a prize longlist) to my TBR in one click
