I’m using LibraryThing, after fleeing GoodReads a few years back, and I just learned about BookWyrm. I’m interested in what others apps and sites are out there for keeping track of your books and/or to-read list, and/or reviewing and/or discussing them, and what folks think about them.

I use Goodreads, it's got a very annoying interface but I do like being able to discover other people's lists. What's the pro to leaving for one of these other platforms?

I left GoodReads because I try to have as little to do with Amazon as possible. I tried StoryGraph but never warmed up to it. I realize LibraryThing has some indirect Amazon ownership, but I found it an acceptable compromise.

I log everything I read on my computer, for my own use. (I find it incredibly useful to be able to search that list.) And I post the full year's list at new year on my blog. (Blog. Ha ha.)

You've reminded me that I have a master list on my computer of all the books I've read since 2004. I should probably get around to updating it, it's probably a year or so behind by now.
