As I have moved my Goodreads data across to Storygraph, I have a record of all the books I've read since I was about 15/16. I really had quite a strong preference for YA fantasy as a teenager, meaning my "Mainly reads..." and "Typically chooses..." information is heavily influenced by these books. As an example, it currently says that I typically choose fast paced books despite the fact that I have read more medium paced books over the the past couple of years. I'd really like to keep the record of the books I read when I was younger, but they are significantly skewing my stats and the "Mainly reads" information doesn't actually reflect what I mainly read at the moment.
I'd like to suggest the option for this information to be based on either an amount of time (eg. the last 12 months) or a set amount of books (eg. the last 100 books) because it would make the information more useful and relevant.
Thank you :)
Thank you for the suggestion, Caroline! We'll keep this in mind for sure.
Have you generated your 2021 wrap-up? Hopefully you feel like the profile statement there is a more accurate reflection of your tastes! :-D
Nadia I have!! I really enjoyed the wrap up, it definitely was a better reflection of what I read and enjoy than the information that takes into account all of the books I've read. I'm already incredibly excited for the 2022 wrap up :D
Caroline_N That's wonderful to hear! The plan is to improve on the 2021 one and keep making it better and better each year. Hopefully we can deliver on that front. :-D
