    Nadia Odunayo never planned to take on the mighty global juggernaut that is Amazon, but for many book ­lovers, she has become the hero they didn’t know they needed.

    For 18 years, bibliophiles have been able to catalogue their ­reading, leave reviews and star ratings, and get recommendations for their next read on Goodreads, which was set up by two Stanford University alumni from California.

    In 2013, Goodreads’ founders sold it to Amazon, and the already hugely popular site skyrocketed. It now has an estimated 150 million users.

    One of those users, since 2012, was Odunayo, a software ­engineer and developer from London. Six years ago, she sat down to ­create what she imagined might be a companion app to Goodreads.

    After building a demo for a few friends, she quickly realised it was more likely to be a competitor, ­offering readers’ tracking tools and trends – using AI – that could help recommend their next book. And as of this week, The StoryGraph has 3.8 million active users, many of whom have ditched Goodreads.

      I use it, but in tandem with Goodreads. So many of my friends are on Goodreads and I stalk a couple folks whose reading preferences match mine to get suggestions. I do like Storygraph’s review mechanism as the pacing and mood parts really help me to determine whether I might like a book.
