Here’s my #StoryGraph #reading stats for June. Beginning of the month was very slow for reading as I was travelling and peopling and generally being worn out. Near the end of the month I suddenly found my brain didn’t want to do anything but read and knocked off two books in four days.

I finished 7 books in June 2026. My roomie finally got to Footwizard in the #Spellmonger series and told me their reaction to the main thing I had been waiting for them to get to. 🤣 IYKYK.

My #nonfiction selection for June was The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love by bell hooks, which I highly recommend, especially if you are raising children. This one has been repeatedly mentioned by one of the feminist content creators I follow on YouTube, Briony Claire, and it's definitely worth a read. Patriarchy hurts us all.

ICYMI (like I did!) StoryGraph now has an optional integration with Kobo so you can automatically track your reading. I didn’t mind having to do this manually, but a) I feel like this is a good sign that StoryGraph continues to grow/develop & b) eh, who am I kidding, I actually found the manual tracking a bit of a slog. #Bookstodon #StoryGraph

Do you use The StoryGraph to catalogue the books you read, and find it cumbersome to sync the devices you read from to the website?

Storywell is here to help out!
Audible sync works quite well, and imports from Goodreads and several other services are verified working. Some services are still very experimental, since I dont have accounts to truly test on.

A huge benefit of using #storygraph is the stats! I was looking for a comfort read and a book I'm most likely to enjoy is the backlist of a favorite author. I was able to look through my most read authors by year and found some good suggestions! So far: Bean Counter manga book 4, KL Noone, Megan Derr and Jordan L Hawk. #bookstodon #thestorygraph #ilovestats

RE: https://christine-seeman.com/storygraph-trmnl-plugin/

I tried to do a thing, make a plugin for my e-ink #TRMNL device. I learned a lot, but didn't really end up with a plugin people can use for checking out their #StoryGraph current reads...yet.

Here's my belated #reading roundup for May. I was off travelling and visiting family last week and then my internet went down when I got home. I've just about caught up on my sleep and have enough energy to do non-essential stuff now!

I kept my reading streak going through May on #Storygraph and finished up five #books The delay in posting this means that I've actually got a #BookReview up for all of them on my website already: https://nocto.com/books/

All five books I finished were great but the three I'd recommend to people are:

Ink Ribbon Red by Alex Pavesi - I devoured this in a weekend. It's a fast moving story of a group of friends spending the weekend together who write stories about how one of the group kills another, and these are muddled up with the actual events of the weekend and you are trying to figure out what is fiction and what is real (well, also fiction!). An enormous tangle but it's all clear by the end.

The Astral Library by Kate Quinn - an author known for big well researched historical novels writes a fantasy about a library where you can live inside book worlds. Basically it's a love letter to libraries and very fun.

Same As It Ever Was by Claire Lombardo - A new to me author and I could have put this down anytime in the first half and not noticed but the second half got better and better. A story about families and relationships that really resonated with me by the end. Probably my personal favourite of the books I read this month.

Finished 4 books in May 2026. Way ahead of my roomie on #Spellmonger now and trying to wait patiently for them to mention certain events. 😅 They are enjoying the side trilogies, so I think I'll loop back and read those after I get current on the main storyline.

May's #nonfiction selection was the #audiobook version of White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism by Robin DiAngelo. This is part of the Be A Better Person challenge on #StoryGraph. Kind of surface level and a bit repetitive, but it's a decent introduction. A reviewer recommended following up with So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo, which is also part of the challenge, so I've added that to my #TBR.

I'm using Pagebound, and I do love it. However, I'm really not a fan of when I mark a book as "currently reading", I have to manually enter how many pages the book has in total.

Goodreads and StoryGraph has this data right out of the gate. Why is it that Pagebound doesn't have it?

My usual spot for cataloguing the books I've read, https://bookrastinating.com, has been down for several weeks, so I've decided to open a #StoryGraph until bookrastinating's servers come online:

https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile/bm_brologue

I love the Fediverse, I don't love it when small servers up and vanish.

(FTR the admins claim they're working towards a fix, and I appreciate them for it. I can't say I love something unless there's at least one part of that thing that's a bit dogshit.)

#Storygraph didn't let me give Murderbot 5.75 stars despite claiming I could give half and quarter stars.
I am appalled by this and am considering legal action.

Marwahussain's inkpotandpages’ 2026 Literary Cannibalism Challenge is reading 12 decolonial books that cannibalize on 'western classics'.

This month I want to read Jean Rhys.- Wide Sargasso Sea and V.S. Naipaul - A Bend in the River responding, adding to, changing perspective of Jane Eyre and Heart of Darkness respectively.

But while 'classic' does mean 'know of it, could say something about it'; it certainly does NOT mean 'I have read the book from cover to cover'.

Jane Eyre & Heart of Darkness are examples of that kind of 'classicality'. So for me the challenge is really reading 24 books. Which makes it even better ofcourse.

Bueno este mes ha sido también temático pero de música: vimos #ACompleteUnknown, #SpringsteenDeliverMeFromNowhere, #Hamilton, #KpopDemonHunters y #TheSingers.
Para compensar #EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce y #TragonesYMazmorras.

De los 8 libros destaco #LaRebelióndeCameroth (@ Victoria Álvarez dónde está el 3er libro) y #NoConfíesenAsherHall, el resto fue ponerme al día con sagas juveniles y un par de poemarios meh. He llegado a 400 libros leídos en #StoryGraph ✌🏻

I (just about) kept up the #StoryGraph #JanuaryPagesChallenge all the way to the end, and as a result I've found the calendar graphic is quite nice! Knowing there's a nice graphic at the end of it makes me want to carry on logging pages every day into February. I like how the graphic shows the books I'm still reading as well as the ones I've finished. I feel like I don't read fast enough to do a lot of the monthly roundup graphics justice. I aim for a book a week (and usually miss the target) so six books in a month is about as much as I ever finish, but I often have several books on the go at the same time.

I was trying to figure out how they picked the colours for the bars for each book as they seem weirdly similar in places. Eventually twigged that they seem to be generated from the colours of the book covers which is a nice touch, if perhaps not the easiest to understand at a glance. I guess I'll have to pick books out to read now based on the colour of their covers 😊 and stop reading the beige ones.

Storygraph has a challenge to read every day in January. To get into the habit of daily reading.

Would love to hear from others whodo this
#JanuaryPagesChallenge

Is daily reading really something new for you?

For me I think the challenge is more daily tracking. The challenge helps me to do that, but I'm not sure I want to keep that up.

Here's my September reading wrap-up! When I'm not stitching, I'm usually holding a book—or sometimes doing both by listening to audiobooks.

Any recommendations for great reads?

Monthly recaps!!! Reading and stitching - got a lot of both done thanks to my trip to StitchCon. And I highly recommend reading the Changling series by Molly Harper.
