Wouldn't be a bad idea to have a bookclub on the fediverse really.
Added. https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile/ricoberto
https://bookwyrm.social/ is what I've been using. I'm not an avid tracker though.
I tried thestorygraph, liked the idea but I don't like my readings to be guided by an algorithm and also I don't feel like paying for a platform, especially if I'm not using the main feature (the recommendations)
I tried Bookwyrm but I wasn't a fan of the review style. I like that in TSG you have a checklist with moods that give you an overview of the feelings the book may evoke. So giving my opinion is fast and painless, if I don't feel like writing a whole review
Fair point lol I don't find the "discover" feature attractive, so I've been using the Openreads app just to keep track of what I've read year to year (a great app, by the way!)
Edited to add that maybe different instances of bookwyrm have different ways to review your books? I may be wrong about this, but I think it is worth checking if you really want to try an open alternative.
I did not know about the different instances, will definitely check them up! Thank you
You're welcome! I hope you find something you like :)
