I tried getting set up there just a few weeks ago because someone on my flist was using it for reccs. It only let me add 5 to my TBR list on a free account.

Ah, ok, I just made a new account, and I think I might've figured it out? I was only able to have five at a time in my "Up next" queue. But I could mark as many things as I wanted as "to read". See image here, and hopefully you can see where the two different options are, in the red circles: https://postimg.cc/p96ryBHD The top book there has a "to read" status, and is in the "up next queue", and the bottom one also has a "to read" status and when I tried to add it to the "up next" queue, I'd already added 5 and it gave me the "up next limit reached" error.

The "to read" status is similar to the "read", "currently reading", etc. status: they're meant to be unlimited buckets that you can put many books in. The "up next" queue is a limited bucket if you want to prioritize things, though.

Hope this helps!

Ah, I see. It was a skill issue! It is also possible to generate a link of the TBR pile. With how long my list is having a prioritized bucket is good. I'll poke at it some more when I get a chance. It might be useful once my list gets smaller.

Thank you!

Knowledge issue! :P Storygraph isn't THAT much different than Goodreads, but I remember when I starte dusing it that it was sufficiently different that it took me a bit before I felt I was doin' it right. ;P

Outside of Letterbox'd I don't think I've used any online tracking / organization site in ages. I am used to sites and apps being very intuitive to me, but these are different beasts.
