I've heard great things! I tried them but didn't like the interface so went back to my spreadsheet.

But I also know that a lot of ppl don't use tracking that way, and totally get what you're saying.

Entirely fair! I built my spreadsheet to track certain things (tropes, a few diversity metrics, fantasy creatures) and shoot out stats for me. I mainly use it to see what I'm actually liking out of what I choose. Plus to keep myself accountable for reading diversely. Helps me build a better tbr

I've heard great things about Storygraph! I didn't like the interface of their app or website though and that was a killer for me. Getting the insight on reading data is really fun though!

I use it on and off. I've found that it takes ~4 books per month to make it 'worth it'. so if I have a lot of books on KU I want to read that month I get it. so yeah same idea lol

that's fair. I know the first 2 used to be on KU, and I wouldn't be surprised if they go back to KU eventually. so maybe then?

they're easily digestible fantasy with a romance aspect, I'm not surprised they sell well. romance is the number one selling genre in the nation for a reason lol

I placed my order before it was known that it was Onyx Storm. amazon had it listed as "Deluxe Edition Untitled Winter 2025 Entangled Release". I thought ordering that early would guarantee me a preorder on what would be a high demand item. after my order got cancelled, I ordered local.

😶 yikees! yeah, my local target confirmed they're getting multiple shipments going forward (the next one is like 1/26) so I'm thinking/hoping that this isn't going to be a limited print run. just a limited first batch, so online orders might get delayed but not cancelled outright 🤞

I don't envy them at all. I ordered my other copies from a local bookstore to avoid frenzy.
