Best Book Reviewing Sites?!

The top 3 at the moment seem to be Goodreads, StoryGraph and Fable so here are a few pros and cons for each of them I have found so far

1) _📖Goodreads📖

So this is the biggest one and a lot of readers (especially when starting) use this because of its popularity and familiarity. I personally have used this since forever but I personally prefer other reviewing sites now even if I still use this one trequently!

💚PROS💚

so many reviews! Thousands and hundreds of thousands of opinions to go through!

on the browser version you can search for specific words which helps when figuring out content of books!

❤️CONS❤️

No half or quarter star ratings which as a reviewer and a reader means that books often are bumped up and down instead of being precise.

no content warnings slot. Just your review, doesn’t take any other stats or opinions on your book that other readers can easily find.

I know there are people on Goodreads but it is REALLY hard to find them on the communities unlike Fable!

📚StoryGraph📚

Up until trying Fable this was absolutely the best no questions asked (opinion is still out on which is better because I have only had fable for a few days).

💚PROS💚

Content Warnings

Fun quiz you can do to get recommendations!

Stats from readers like the diversity in the book and pacing as well as characters etc.

book clubs/readlongs that are easy to join and have multiple little sections which can be locked to avoid spoilers!

❤️CONS❤️

Less social media/connection with other readers. (Which might also be a pro!) If you just want to log your books then it’s great but it can feel a little lonelier if you aren’t doing a readlong/buddy read with active participants! It all depends because personally I think the pros are so great l use it all the time to make a quick decision in the bookstore whether to buy a book or not!

📖Fable📖

I just started Fable but it feels so easy to use and really user friendly. It is a microblogging platform and full of reviews with a organised profile that you can fill with lists as well as seeing stats!

💚PROS💚

Microblogging part means you can see what other readers think and post in a chattier way than other platforms!

A gorgeous layout with a reader summary (so cute!) that updates regularly with your new and different reads!

you can review and rate with emojis and on various different parts of the book including content warnings!
❤️CONS❤️

I have been hearing online that there were some insensitive and insulting comments made by Al summaries a while ago? I think those have been removed since and I haven’t seen any recent complaints. I haven’t been on it long enough to notice anything off about the way it handles topics yet.

So what do you think? Do you have a book reviewing site you love that I haven’t mentioned or any pros and cons you think people should know?
