any friends out there use storygraph to track their reading?? pros/cons as compared to goodreads?

I wish they had magazines on here. I'm reading one all the way through right now (Comment magazine's gender issue from last year), and it's absolutely incredible, as rich as many books—and as long and time-consuming haha. But it bothers me that I can't record it! I totally get why adding individual issues of magazines would make this already-janky platform go haywire but alas.

Hey friends! I (finally) wrote my annual reading recap for 2021, if you're interested in checking it out:

(Of course, you as my goodreads friends already got access to the good stuff, aka my long reviews, but if you want more quotes + reactions, head over there.) Happy reading in 2022!!

just gotta say i'm loving the purple-space-stars banner (and saturn!) on gr this week <3

help the blog post about the books I read this year is turning into a novel 0_o

Welp this is depressin''.

The rhyme in this translation is amazing.

Guys I hate Mr. Bumble so much rn.

I usually don't like books in verse, but this is wow. It's gripping like a narrative but the use of language is stunning like poetry.

Now it's gettin' good.

Good grief, can the murder just happen already?

I'm reading Narnia again for the fourth time? I think? And it's so good. I've forgotten so much and as always I've found new nuggets I didn't notice or fully appreciate previous times.

Her writingggg is so beautiful. Although Maria's annoying me just a tad.

This stuff is kinda depressing but also really fascinating. (And also I'm only reading excerpts of this so don't be too impressed by my speed. It's really actually pitiful but oh well.)

HI GUYS. So I wrote a blog post with some of my thoughts on Harry Potter (I know some of you want to know what I think about it *wiggles eyebrows*) soooo go check it out:

And do comment, either there or here, what you think, because I'd love to know.

The Star Wars refs are awesome. But my heart is breaking for some of these characters. And families. I love books that have families as a prominent part.

Can't believe I'm doing this ...
