I recently discovered Bookwyrm and am really liking it. It’s not quite as full-featured as The Storygraph or Goodreads but it covers all of the most important functionalities and it’s federated which I appreciate. Something that it is missing Vs either The Storygraph or Goodreads at the moment is volume of reviews (ie. Volume of users.) However, your review won’t get lost in the sea so much and I’ve found that it’s been quite easy to find readers with similar interests.

Anyway, who here is using Bookwyrm? What’s your account so we can all follow each other? (Mine is Unfreeze4257@books.theunseen)

I am but this past year I haven’t been reading much. My “to read” pile is huge.

Just followed you. And here’s mine: https://bookwyrm.social/user/BoormanTheChauffeur . Like others have said, I use it mostly to keep track of what books I’m reading and also ones I’ve read.

I’ve been using it mainly as a way of keeping track of what I read. I guess I could use a text file, but it’s nice to be able to see it from my phone or share it.

Yeah I have in the past used a bunch of different on/offline methods but have always ended up most consistently at Goodreads, so online is definitely the go for me (I can’t lose it that way lol.)
