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 [email protected])

    I quit GoodReads back when they sold out to Amazon, and was part of the working group on Google Plus that searched for alternatives to GoodReads (and to Amazon, too). I still haven’t found a solid replacement, but I just signed up to Bookwyrm and am importing my books and reviews right now.

    I’m [email protected] there.

    I’m also BobQuasit over on Reddit. If you follow either of the big book-suggestion subreddits, you’ve probably seen my overly-detailed recommendations of older science fiction, fantasy, mystery, children’s and YA books, classics, manga, graphic novels, and humor. I’m hoping to be able to do the same thing on the Fediverse!
