I used to use GoodReads to track my reading, my main focus in the past was to log and rate books I read for work. I was a coach and I liked to give book referrals to my clients this was a great way to keep track of the books I read and give exact titles and authors.

I've retired and now I get to read for fun. I recently switched to StoryGraph and love all the graphs created by my reading list. I read a lot more books than I used to and I don't want to get into a rut by reading too many of the same types of books. The graphs help as do all the challenges the site offers.

I recently created a challenge for myself to read fiction and nonfiction books by authors from 195 countries. I'm using a journal to keep track of these books since I expect it will take me several years to complete.

Thanks for sharing, I'm sure your clients must have really appreciated your efforts, it sounds like you went above and beyond.

I'm interested to hear you're enjoying StoryGraph too, like a few other users have mentioned. I think I'll check it out as a potential options and have a play around with it.

I like the sound of your challenge too, what a great idea! Enjoy your literary journey around the world.

Thank you. I'm having so much fun now that I have more time to read and don't have to read for work.
