Do you prefer Goodreads or StoryGraph?

Post by hayisa »

I found the community part better on Goodreads since it has a lot more users and book reviews— definitely recommended if you're a very social reader. However, if you're into reading alone and would love more in-tune recommendations, especially if you're a mood reader, StoryGraph is the thing for you. I definitely prefer the latter over the other because I'm not really into book clubs. Also, I can't stand the user interface design of Goodreads.

I prefer and rely on Goodreads for reviews and recommendations but I use StoryGraph for its feature of providing statistical data about the books I read and recommending books according to mood. I am honestly very grateful for both the websites for enriching my experience of reading.
Imagine if we had no secrets, no respite from the truth. What if everything was laid bare the moment, we introduced ourselves?

I prefer the Goodreads website over all the ones I have visited. When I first started reading and getting recommendations, Goodreads was an eye-opener, so I am very thankful for it.

I love Goodreads because their social circle is huge. And the comments help you decide if a book could be a good read for you

This is the first time I'm hearing about Storygraph, sounds interesting might check it out later. Only on Goodreads for now. Can't even keep up with that sometimes.

I never committed to using Goodreads, I didn't like the interface. I love that Storygraph has a lot of graphics and stats about your reading habits.

I have not heard of Story Graph it sounds good! I like Goodreads for all the reviews. It helps before I buy a book or get suggestions. I like LikeWise as well for recommendations.

I only heard about Story Graph recently and still haven't explored it.

I've been using good reads for awhile. I tried Story graph for a month and decided I did not like it. I like the layout of Goodreads a lot better
