It was extremely easy for me to import my goodreads account info. I would never have been able to swap otherwise, too many things on my “to read” list
This is me, too. I have like 2 friends on Goodreads and I like it that way, lol. Sometimes I read a review or two if I feel strongly one way or another about a book but for the most part I ignore a lot that Goodreads has to offer. I wonder if the improved visual interface would make storygraph more “fun?” I also love the idea of more stats. Though…do you have to give a more in-depth, quiz-like review? I’m lucky I do the stars on Goodreads, lol!
Anymore I try to write a review that will jog my memory in the future or a redeemable quality if it’s not great. I’m friends with a handful of people on Goodreads, but we don’t really read the same kind of books.
This year I vowed to read more. It calms me down and makes my brain happy in a way TV just can’t. I am attempting the Reading Prompts and I am sure anything from this swap would be helpful in that.
I just read this and it looks like Goodreads has had a lot of updates since it was written. I just found this today.
You can see when the book was read the most and there are a bunch of other updates.
I too mostly use SG for tracking reads and to-read, and I was following reading challenges more intently when I didn’t have to read thousands of pages for grad school.
I did check out my stats for 2022 and they’re pretty interesting though. It told me lengths, genres, moods, most read authors, how many new authors I picked up, etc. Some of that depended on me answering questions in a review, but mostly not.
I also like supporting a non-megacorp black-owned business by using SG.
I am so bad about goodreads and the such. I have a pinterest board and a list on amazon. Only a few more days of sign ups if you are on the fence!
Only a few more days to sign up for Story Graph?
For the swap.
Duh. I’m an idiot. I forgot which thread I was in.
Also, I am very close to possibly joining in on this one! Gotta see how my schedule is going to be.
It does look like their year-end-review is much, much better!
I’ve been turning this one over in my mind for a while… It’s so tempting
Same here. I want to do it, but I worry that I can’t think of anything to make. Also, my work schedule changed effective today and I’m working a lot more hours than I have in years. I’m still deciding.
I signed up this evening!! I wanted to wait to see how my crafty queue was looking and I will definitely have some time to fit in a quality small. I’m really looking forward to this one!
I’ve always found inspiration in my partner’s questionnaire. You can also look at the gallery from previous book swaps for ideas.
C’mon, join us!
Tomorrow is the last day for sign ups!
Exactly! Between your partner’s info and past galleries-there is a ton of inspiration!
LAST DAY FOR SIGN UPS!!! Get your info in!
What to do what to do…hmm
Be my partner! We’ll keep it simple.
