It's still in beta-format at the moment, but it's already kind of fun to play around with. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that you can directly upload all of your books from GoodReads to StoryGrapph - and that it only takes a few minutes. My 2000, or so, books transferred quickly and accurately (as far as I can tell, at least). Most interesting to me at the moment is some of the statistical analysis on-offer at StoryGraphs. It's definitely worth a look.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-11540864592362607122020-09-25T04:40:25.805-07:002020-09-25T04:40:25.805-07:00We've had a lot of real heat this summer, too,...We've had a lot of real heat this summer, too, Cathy, and it really does change the way the plants and animals behave. I'm looking forward to some cool, rainy weather sometime soon.... just as soon as I get back from looking at that shipwreck. And then those Bronze Age things.Margot Kinberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599589137890528065noreply@blogger.com
