Since being acquired by Amazon, Goodreads has stagnated and is now mostly used as a platform for promotions rather than as a place for people to gather and talk about books.📚
If you are looking for an alternative, npub1x3vzhnglj5ggjgzhtf40n2vcepaug0mt5z7k665cx0gxvsee8ueqlh2eke (npub1x3v…2eke) is super. It’s less cluttered, intuitive, easy to navigate, and has wonderful stat charts.
I switched to The Storygraph in 2020 and I never looked back at Goodreads.
