Ronsboy67<p>I just finished Full Moon and read a review at <a href="https://mas.to/tags/TheStoryGraph" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheStoryGraph</span></a> in which the reviewer apologetically said they preferred Blandings to Wooster. Were it possible to have replied, I'd have said "no apology needed, so do I" PGW is sui generis - or as Clarence might say of the Empress's size "sooey generous" <a href="https://mas.to/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reading</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Wodehouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wodehouse</span></a> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p>
Ronsboy67<p>If my May reading at <a href="https://mas.to/tags/TheStorygraph" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheStorygraph</span></a> had a theme song, I guess Paul McCartney would supply it - 🎶some people want to fill the world with silly love songs🎶 - and what's wrong with that? <a href="https://mas.to/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reading</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mystery</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Romance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Romance</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Poetry</span></a><br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p>
Lyn<p>Finished "The Bandit Queens" by Parini Shroff last night.<br>Four Stars, many content warnings.<br>This one was suggested by the Story Graph so I read it to test how good their suggestions are.

Ronsboy67<p>I tend to get a bit obsessed with my <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reading</span></a> challenges at <a href="https://mas.to/tags/TheStoryGraph" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheStoryGraph</span></a> but I think I can relax now - the odds of completing them all seem pretty good. The end of the year will be hectic and some of the remaining <a href="https://mas.to/tags/nonfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nonfiction</span></a> will be challenging, so it's nice to be ahead. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a></p>

I have finally shed my reluctance to quit books I don't care for, so if it doesn't work out, I'll just move on and try another if his</p>

Mostly pretty happy. In the last month or so I am confronted by this "verifying if you are human.." page in my browser. I am logged in to TSG.

Ronsboy67<p>I took a screenshot of my Calibre bookshelf for the books I've tagged as "My Favourites, So Far" at <a href="https://mas.to/tags/TheStoryGraph" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheStoryGraph</span></a> - I sorted them by author, and I just loved that there are 42 of them, given the book which is listed first. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/ebooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ebooks</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reading</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p>

Kai<p>I love what GoodReads offers, but I certainly don't love GoodReads. I've tried out The Storygraph about five years ago and thought I might try again.</p><p>I applaud the minimalist design. But I don't like that it doesn't put avatars on the review pages. Seems very impersonal to me. Also, why doesn't it distinguish between reviews and ratings (reviews without text)?</p><p>The book pages need getting used to, too. It's not ideal that you have to scroll down to see the overall rating.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/theStoryGraph" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>theStoryGraph</span></a></p>
