Many readers start with and stick to Goodreads for tracking their books. Is that because Goodreads has the best features for every reader, or because it appears to be the only option on the market? In my experience, as a librarian for eight years, Goodreads is popular because it was the first big-name book tracker, and it developed a thriving community. However, I switched to a different book tracking app three years ago, and haven't looked back. Let me introduce you to my favorite Goodreads alternative: StoryGraph.
