Bookshelves vs StoryGraph
Updated 2026-11-08
StoryGraph is a reading tracker known for moods, pace, and content warnings. Bookshelves keeps up to three moods, content warnings, and why you set a book aside on the book itself, then counts them on Goals — inside rooms and a wood shelf, with a Librarian you can hire free.

Marks live on the book
Moods, what the book is about, a written review, and why you stopped stay on that book. Goals counts them for the year. A public shelf does not list the warning words or the review text.
A room, not only a graph
StoryGraph is strongest when you want charts. Bookshelves is strongest when you want the book in a room, a jacket on a plank, and a year of goals beside it.
Hire the Librarian
Bookshelves.me is the keyword door. library.cloudcrew.si is the suite twin. Clubs and little libraries are sibling hires, not this shelf.
