Moving from Goodreads
Sep. 22nd, 2021 09:20 pm...to Storygraph! I use goodreads mainly to track what I have read/own and occasionally to say something of a book that hasn't had many thoughts by users yet. They are Amazon-owned and -operated, which is not really helping breaking their monopoly in the sector.
I got a recommendation for storygraph from fandom peeps on discord. For those who are more discerning, here is a nice article overview on buzzfeed on the features - I do admit it's nice that they focus less on just a star rating system but more how fast/slow-paced, character driven etc a book was. It's also founded by Nadia Odunayo, a black woman.
What pushed me to change is that I could just import my goodreads file and be done. I will probably still keep it updating it for a while, but if you want to follow what I read or just be friends, the username is for once the same: Myrdschaem
