What book tracking websites/apps is everybody using? (programming.dev)

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 mainly use a combination of Hardcover and StoryGraph. I like the interface Of Hardcover better and its business model. They recently just added a bunch of developers and other people To help shore up some of their weakness especially in their book data. StoryGraph handles reading challenges better in fact, we have one therefore our Book Bingo.
