My reviews tend to be short and spoiler-free (recent example: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/f2a78873-40dd-48c4-b86e-a06648aa6f08 )

I can actually focus right now so I'll try to remember to dive into what this entails and create an account there this week

Why is goodreads bad? I use it to track what I have read. I do not write reviews as I am lazy.

Goodreads is owned by Amazon and they use it to harvest data.

Storygraph is owned by its black indie creator.

If you move over you can import all your goodreads data - I did

Ah I did not know Amazon owned it. We are trying to stop buying from them. It is hard though when there is a very specific thing you need and hardly anywhere has it. I shall set about swapping over.

I am swapped over. Deleted the goodreads account. Was very easy to do and I LOVE that it is in dark mode.

Yay!

I've added you - I signed up to storygraph but not done a huge amount with it yet. I'm gradually fading over, same as I did with X to here, I guess...
