The StoryGraph is a powerful reading companion that helps readers track progress, gain insights into their habits, and discover new books through personalized recommendations. Designed as an independent alternative to Goodreads, The StoryGraph places focus on user privacy, smart data use, and a clean, intuitive interface.
Seamless Goodreads Import
Quickly transfer all your book data from Goodreads, including your "Currently Reading," "Read," "To-Read," and "Did Not Finish" shelves. Custom shelves are converted into personalized tags to preserve your organization and preferences.
Track Progress & View In-Depth Reading Stats
With detailed charts and graphs, users can track pages read, books completed, and genre trends over time. This data helps refine future reading choices and spot patterns, such as pacing, tone, and format preferences.
Smart, Personalized Recommendations
Powered by machine learning, The StoryGraph learns from user behavior to recommend books that match specific reading tastes. Filters include mood, pacing, genre, and more, making discovery both fun and accurate.
Discover Books by Mood
Users can search for books based on emotional tone (e.g., hopeful, dark, reflective), pacing (e.g., slow-burn, fast-paced), and themes. This mood-driven filtering system ensures the next read always fits the moment.
Buddy Reads & Readalongs
Read with friends or the community with spoiler-free, section-specific reactions. Comment on particular parts of books without spoiling the experience for others, and find like-minded readers through intelligent matching.
Reading Challenges
Join global or custom reading challenges—track goals like reading across genres, countries, or formats. Set annual goals and monitor progress with built-in tracking tools.
Custom Tags & Lists
Organize books with personalized tags, create and share curated book lists, and filter searches using these tags. Whether categorizing by theme, mood, or purpose, it's easy to find books quickly.
