Im a big reader and always have been.
Its not just me, is it?
The only problem is the nagging question, What book do I read next?
Should I stick with a familiar author?
This is where I become completely unstuck.
I couldnt help but think that surely there was a more intelligent way of choosing new books.
Thankfully there is, and the apps name isStoryGraph.
I had heard of Goodreads but never StoryGraph.
Most were pretty straightforward: What authors and genres do I like?
But I was most impressed by the question, Which things most turn you off a book?
This was easy to do, with StoryGraph never failing to find a book I had read.
I was really impressed and thoroughly enjoyed reading more personal summaries rather than your standard offerings.
All that was left was to check out my personal recommendations.
I headed to that section and browsed the suggestions.
On the list was Where the Crawdads Sing.
I loved reading it and couldnt put it down.
Everything Ive mentioned so far has been pretty insular and focused on myself.
That is only half of the StoryGraph experience.
Behind all the books is a dedicated community that is ready and waiting to connect with you.
you’re able to follow readers and view what they are reading.
All of this gives more recommendations for what you might like to read.
I also love reading specific community reviews of books as well as StoryGraphs summary of reviews about specific books.
Reading books is often a pretty lonely activity but it doesnt have to be.
Through writing and reading reviews, I feel drawn into the reading worlds of others.
Surely, thats as pleasurable as reading a good book.
