Reading Challenge and StoryGraph

 I started a reading challenge that requires the reader to read a book from every state in the country. I got interested in it late last year, when I was looking up reviews of a book on Goodreads. One reviewer said that she was doing a 50 state challenge. This intrigued me. 

I Google searched it, and most of the information was related to some challenge for kids, but I'm there was one on StoryGraph. I ended up joining StoryGraph and downloading the app. Now I do most of my book challenges, reviews and reading lists through that site. I like that it gives you warnings if a book contains things that trigger you, that there are many challenges to choose from, instead of just how many books you plan to read in a year (like Goodreads has), that they compute your streaks, that they record and list all of your 5 star reviews for you to look at any time. I was also able to download everything from my Goodreads account so it kept all my previously read books. You can manipulate your data from your own readings in several way.
