Curious which book tracking apps everyone is using currently, and if there are any good ones I’m missing.

Personally, I started out with Goodreads, then moved onto Bookwyrm, then to TheStorygraph.

  • Goodreads is generally pretty good but I’m not a big fan of it being owned by Amazon (especially since I have beef with Amazon for closing BookDepository)

  • Bookwyrm is a Fediverse Goodreads alternative but I found the book catalogue was lacking, many books often didn’t have covers or descriptions or even had many duplicates.

  • Storygraph is what I’m using now, it’s pretty rad. I love how it gives detailed stats on everything in your account, including graphs and charts of your reading habits. That said, its recommendation system is kinda lacking and keeps recommending me the same books again and again, and it’s not as social as Goodreads.

Cheers.

    I use bookwyrm. Out of principle I won’t use storygraph because it’s closed source.

    I agree with you the duplication on BookWyrm is annoying.

    I’ve been looking into [email protected] it looks quite promising but I haven’t had the energy to really engage with it and test it.
