this has nothing to do with your comment but as someone who is bilingual and non english speaker, ppl would make fun and "correct" me bcs i pronounce "wrong" when in fact i pronounce the words correctly and they cant even speak english properly. im not here making fun of them and i didnt and dont make fun of ppl that doesnt speak english perfectly and w/o grammar. im just irritated that ppl who dont know how to speak english or barely and started to learn english properly in high school, try to correct me, who has been talking and understanding english since i was a baby
StoryGraph Tip: You can set a pages goal instead of a book goal for the year. If you’re someone who reads longer books setting a pages goal makes it more representative and attainable!!
Yess! I did that last year and it feels so much better, finally the 600 pages book has the weight it deserves comapred to a 160 pages novella haha i never liked how books goal made me feel like i read less bc the books were longer
It also helps with dnfing boring books, because read pages will still count as read even if the book doesn't. There is no need to put yourself through torture when you can find happiness in some other book
It's the first time I hear I can set goals on storygraph. In a basic version? I've migrated there last year so I assumed the reading goal was copied from the goodreads... it doesn't matter that much. I change reading goals throughout the year. I set up a smaller goal at the beginning of the year just to not overwhelm myself - it's supposed to be fun after all. And then as a year progresses and I'm more and more ahead I adjust it accordingly.
I swear my taste in books is nothing like Jack's 😭 And yet, I keep coming back to see what he has to say about them because I respect his opinions sm!!!! He's so well read it's insane
same!! i read almost only fantasy and if a book is less than 300 pages it's not worth picking up imo (opposite to jack's big book fear) and yet i watch his videos religiously
storgygraph tip, but if you decide you DNF a book ,you should still log your progress! you can mark a book as did not finish but the percentage of the book you read before you marked it as DNF count toward your pages goal even if the book doesn't count towards your book count for the year. you read those pages, you should get credit for them!!
I know I'm not the original commenter, but it's pretty easy to use in my opinion! It's a lot faster than goodreads (which I feel like has a super slow interace). I've been using it for two years now, and I love it! @@lesap8889
@@lesap8889 Not at all, it's super intuitive to use. It's free, the customer support is top-notch, and if you already have goodreads you can very easily import all your data from there into TheStorygraph.
If you look at your graphs for “all time” instead of a specific year, there is a graph that shows publication dates for all the books you read. Also very interesting stat to look at
I truly appreciate your take on reading less in 2024, and wish to know more about it later. As someone who loves reading but doesn’t overstimulate this hobby, I’m curious to hear a known “book personality” having such a divergent goal. It’ll be good for you and us mere mortals, who can’t afford to read so much but may feel pressured about the velocity of book influencers. Anyways, have a good year Jack and Jack watchers!
As someone who likes physical books and buys them mostly, reading even 50 books a year is a serious dent to my pocket. I am a faster reader now, idk how that happened. I finish books from 7 to 10 days no matter the length. I still enjoy them but this isnt how i picked up ththe hobby as a kid.I am new to book social media and it helped me come out of a long slump in 2023, but i dont want to be so influenced by youtubers to go too far in the other direction. I want to stew with my books for longer, carry them around and not read them. Not keep finishing books and jumping immediately into the next one.
@@shramanadasdutta3006 that’s such a valid point too! Books can be so expensive (and overpriced), and reading fast makes you feel like the value of the book wasn’t fully worth it. If I can offer you a tip it’s: carry a bookmark or a ruler with you and use it to cover the next lines. Maybe if you can only see the line you a currently in, it will slow your eyes down a little. Also set a page goal that it’s less than what you can read in a day, and then look for complementary material of the book, so you fulfill your desire to know more hahaha
I was so ready to debunk your pages/day roughly equating your book count goal, bc my goal was 30 (I read 28) and I was so sure I would not read 30 pages a day, but then I divided my pages (11, 192) by 365 which is 30.66 pages per day and I was so accurately corrected 😂
My brain can’t fathom how his theory works but apparently it does 😂 Because say you read 50pgs a day, and a book is 250 pages… that’s one book every 5 days. And 365/5 is 73, not 50. Although I guess that accounts for different length books? 😂 Bc it worked for my stats too! Jack is a clever man for sure…
@@oliverharris60 yeah I guess most of the books I read are in the 300-400 range (I imagine there must be an average maybe by genre or even popularity?)
for my storygraph in 2023 I read: 151 books. The three main genres were: 1) Fantasy, 2) Childrens and 3) Classics. moods were: 1) Reflective 2) Emotional and 3) Light hearted. My main three authors were: 1) Neil Gaiman 2) Alice Oseman and 3) Albert Camus. Its really intersting to see other peoples reading journey and how we differ and similar to one another.
Jack’s top author: Claire Keegan My top author: Elle Kennedy 😂(let’s go off-campus!) The variety of genres is key at avoiding reading slumps Also, the illicit affairs thing is so real. Whenever I wear even a slightly flowy sleeve I find myself doing the choreography.
I've watched the illicit affairs bridge from the Eras Tour about 7 trillion times just today! I am obsessed with this tour and that woman! I only read 40 books last year and I told myself I was going to read 100 books in 2024....I've only read 2. SOMEBODY TAKE MY PHONE AWAY FROM ME! 🤪
Kind of sad you only went through the stats and not the wrap-up the app does for you but otherwise that was nice ! You made me more eager to read Dazai’s books which I have been postponing for too long now 😁 looking forward your next videos ! 💛
I completely identify with becoming more harsh as one's reading becomes more refined. I'd love to see you make a plan to read the 1001 books to read before you die. I'm in my 40s and I'm planning to read 36 of them a year (of my about 120 books a year) so that I can finish it off by age 60.
It would be really interesting to see a video in which you look over the books you gave five star years ago to see if they stand up by your new and more developed standards as a reader. Loved the video as always!
personally i only really like to use storygraph to keep track of what books i'd like to read eventually. for tracking what im reading /which books im buying (and how much im spending!) i use a physical reading journal. i dont really put that much effort in, the most i do is make a table at the start of the year to keep track of genres but thats pretty much it. i keep it as minimal and simple as possible and it works great! plus i do recommend keeping track of what books you bought cuz its like a checklist so you dont forget what you havent read yet 😊
I like the reading a certain amount of pages a day target rather than the number of books. Amazing how much you can read when you make reading a part of your daily routine. Larger books are hit and miss for me too; I find if I pick the wrong big book, it can drag me down and I can’t give up on it until it’s read, so I need to pick better! :)
Storygraph allows you to set a pages goal (and even a minutes goal for audio books) or you can use the streak feature and set it to X pages per day (or other intervals)
Literally screamed when i saw this video on my fyp😭. I've been anticipating it for weeks, Jack. Really wish you had shown us your wrap up animation, but nonetheless I'm so happy you've shared this 🤍
Your reading stats videos have officially converted me to using StoryGraph this year! I can't wait to see my end of year stats. I'm 5 books in this year so far
Do NOT miss claire keegan's Antarctica (they just released a new edition recently) those short stories left me FLOORED. Especially the titulary story, which is the opening, you will never, ever, ever, ever forget it. My bookseller told me "i think about that story like once a week", and then i was like... oh? so i read it. And wow. I understand why.
As far as marking different types of books read: Audio vs. physical book, I recently learned how to do this on Storygraph. When you search your book, whatever the first result is, look for the (editions) highlighted text next to the published date. Click the editions and you can scroll through the different editions of that book and find exactly the version you're reading i.e. audio, hardcover, paperback, etc.
You can change the edition of the book your reading to audio, kindle, hardcover/paperback so you get an accurate page/time count and StoryGraph will track those in a pie chart like it does with mood and pacing.
honestly, i relate so much to the "writing more, reading less" bit. i love listening to music and i work in sound, but listening to music and making music are a tough balance to strike for me xD
Hi, Jack! Im a new subbie. I really enjoyed your channel. I love how articulate you are with your book reviews. How every description is on point and comprehensive. Hope you can do a review of The Master and Margarita! :)
It's my first time logging my reads and I am having so much fun with it. I am also doing it on storygraph. Can't wait to see the stats at the end of the year.. great video ❤
wait i feel the less books read for this year bc i passed on longer-paged books or out-of-my-usual-genre books in pursuit of my 100 book goal. this year, im really tryna read things that intrigue me & take my time!! great vid, as always
We have the same reading goal for 2024! I am returning to authors I love and trying to read everything they've written. Less authors, more books and completing series!
I really wish the genre stat was better - almost every book on storygraph is tagged with multiple genres and often the additional ones are more so themes (like health, as you said). It's not saying you read x number of exclusively one genre, but x number of any books with that genre as ONE of the tags. So the same book is being counted multiple times on the graph as, for instance, literary, romance, AND historical. Which means the stat really doesn't tell you anything. This year I think I'll tag my books with the main genre and see if it tells me more.
My first year switching over to storygraph, 1 month in and i definitely prefer it to Good Reads. I do wish you could do public notes with your updates as well, I think it would add to the community aspect better haha
Maybe those shelves should be a distinctive color, bright or dark. Or much thicker and textured wood. I don't know. It's too unconspicuous as it is, fades in the background and it makes the books like a big heap somehow.
I also didn't log the medium of my reading last year but Im making more of an effort this year although i tend to read a in 2 formats at once so I have been so conflicted as to how I log the reading 😅
I think you would really enjoy The Vegetarian by Han Kang, translated by Deborah Smith. It won The Man Booker International Prize 2016. It's about rebellion, the female body, and madness.
Yup, with reading and writing - same. It turns out I use the same two braincells for both activities, so when I read a lot I can't write, and vice versa. Happy new reading year, guys!
I don't know whether I agree that the fact that you didn't read many really long books is linked to a lack of fantasy because there are a lot of shorter fantasies as well. It might just be that many of the more famous ones are really long. I also just checked my own storygraph stats and of 45 fantasy books i read, only 9 were over 500 pages (+ 3 audiobooks). Of course this is only my experience and not necessarily reflective but I remember not having the attention span for long books last year either but 1/3 I read were still fantasy
About two years ago I read 52.473 pages but with only 143 books. Just to show it doesn't matter the amount of books, everything is fine. This year I just read 16 ups, but live happens haha
"Never mock someone for mispronouncing a word - it means they learned it by reading."
Me trying to pronounce "lingerie" without ever hearing it in 6th grade lol
this has nothing to do with your comment but as someone who is bilingual and non english speaker, ppl would make fun and "correct" me bcs i pronounce "wrong" when in fact i pronounce the words correctly and they cant even speak english properly. im not here making fun of them and i didnt and dont make fun of ppl that doesnt speak english perfectly and w/o grammar. im just irritated that ppl who dont know how to speak english or barely and started to learn english properly in high school, try to correct me, who has been talking and understanding english since i was a baby

Same. I just read whatever he hates and don't read whatever he loves. Works all the time.

i found my people
hahaha omg this is perfect I am right there with you@@joe_now_here_

Lol
Same man. Been reading depressing books now I'm gonna try and find some happiness in the books I read 😂
I had to start reading children's books for precisely that reason
Best of luck lol!
Same 😅
I think Jack needs another room for his books. Second library coming soon 😆
Seriously obsessed with Claire Keegan. Simply couldn’t get enough of her writing after reading Small Things Like These.

both storygraph and a spotify wrapped just fully called me depressed this year 😭
When you tell the story of how you couldn't focus on anything in May (13:54) and the camera briefly loses focus? Accidental cinematography genius.
I wish more of my friends were on StoryGraph!
I've seen a lot of Booktubers set "read less" as yearly goals and this is a trend I fully support!
i remember seeing that eras tour clip for the first time and i didn’t swipe again for like 30 mins i just kept watching in complete and utter awe
I read In Memoriam because of you and it absolutely wrecked me thank you so much

i am so sorry for whatever you went through in May!!!
I didn't expect this video to have math but thanks for the reading goal formula, Jack!
I would really like some non-fiction books recommendations from you
i've never set a reading goal by way of numbers. i just keep an eye on the genres and aim for a distribution.

starting the video by that illicit affairs performance???? YES PLS
It's my first time logging my reads and I am having so much fun with it. I am also doing it on storygraph. Can't wait to see the stats at the end of the year.. great video ❤
i've had claire keegan on my radar for a bit now because a customer described her books to me by saying she says so much in such little pages
wait i feel the less books read for this year bc i passed on longer-paged books or out-of-my-usual-genre books in pursuit of my 100 book goal. this year, im really tryna read things that intrigue me & take my time!! great vid, as always

Love your videos! Thanks you for so many great books recommendations!
I would love to watch a video based on your mood vs what you read
I was waiting for this video!!
wild, we have read the same amount of pages but i only read 158 books. i binged a bunch of chunky fantasy series this year and it shows haha
ILLICIT AFFAIRS CLIP SO REAL. Might have read like 50 more books last year if it wasn’t for watching every TikTok of the Eras tour
Hope you had a good weekend Jack 😊😊😊
The 50000 pages thing really puts it into perspective because I read 76 books in 2024 which is wayyyy less that 200 but I read almost 30000 pages
another good app is likewise! it will recommend books based on what you rate others :)
I read 33,963 pages last year which is 93 pages per day and i read 94 books total!!! Your theory works
Maybe those shelves should be a distinctive color, bright or dark. Or much thicker and textured wood. I don't know. It's too unconspicuous as it is, fades in the background and it makes the books like a big heap somehow.
i love your videos so much 🥹❤️
I also didn't log the medium of my reading last year but Im making more of an effort this year although i tend to read a in 2 formats at once so I have been so conflicted as to how I log the reading 😅

From your reading moods you will LOVE malazan. 1st book no but from there on
the tip about pages per day = book per year is genius except I have adhd and will read nothing for weeks and then read two books in a day
Take a shot everytime Jack says SKEW on this video. Haha! 😆
I read about 10,867 pages last year which decided by the days in a year equals to 29 books and I did read 30 last year. My original goal was 20

I love your intro and yes I'm obsessed about Illicit afairs too🪄
10:50 new word learnt. Thankyou
thank you for making me fall in love with claire keegan 😩
My reading goal has always been just how many books I read the year before some years so it ends up being around 60-90 books each year
0:23 how unhinged do i have to be to recognize the song moment though
