Do you buy rent or borrow? Or do you have a subscription of some kind? Do you read physical books or do you read ebooks?

There's https://bookwyrm.social/ for fediverse goodreads alternative. For Finnish e-books, try https://ekirjasto.kirjastot.fi/ . It redirects to overdrive/ellibs in the end. In a year or two all of Finland should be served by one huge e-library instead of every library having their own e-library. Let's hope that improves the situation.

Thanks I might take a look at bookwyrm.

Then let's hope the book situation gets better soon!
