What book tracker do you use if any? Any recommendations?

I want to be able to own my data, but would also like recommendations and maybe a community. I just want to track books I've started & finished.

Goodreads is Amazon so I'd rather avoid that, I think.

BookWyrm is cool but I don't see an android app?

StoryGraph, Hardcover, Bookmory, Fable and many others seem like probably the best options. I don't know what to pick!

Ooh, tis that time again, time to get the monthly reading wrap up graphics on Storygraph. 📚

Cover collage this month has a pleasing stepped effect going on.
10 books finished. (Did several short ones at start of the month, then slowed down!) Streak maintained. 4 stories read from the Far Horizons anthology I'm making last all season. 1/3 of the way through the long Great Courses audiobook that I'm also taking all season to go through and absorb.

“If there are necessary sacrifices to be made for human progress, is it not essential to hold to the principle that those to be sacrificed must make the decision themselves? We can all decide to give up something of ours, but do we have the right to throw into the pyre the children of others, or even our own children, for a progress which is not nearly as clear or present as sickness or health, life or death?”

Auf #StoryGraph gibt es nicht nur "Recommandations", sondern auch Vorschläge, die „Out of your comfort zone” sind. Dieses Konzept liebe ich sehr. Das ist quasi der Gegenentwurf zu Algorithmen, die immer nur das Passendste zum eh schon vorhandenen Verhalten/Geschmack vorschlagen. Gut, ich mag jetzt keine Bücher über Hundeerziehung und Gärtnerei, die aktuell diese Liste dominieren, aber genau das ist ja der Punkt.

Looks like I finally, properly made the switch to Storygraph! I created an account several years ago, but kept using Goodreads as my main platform. I didn't keep up with Storygraph very well, so I have a lot of books that are still missing, but I am slowly changing that. My only complaint at the moment is that loading my shelves/tags takes forever and that is actually what I like most about online book platforms. So I hope that will be fixed some time soon, because it looks like it has been this way for a while...

Still, there are lots of great features to be found. I prefer the tag system over the one on Goodreads and I like all the filters and stats. And of course, the fact that it isn't owned by Amazon is a huge plus! I haven't completely abandoned Goodreads yet, but maybe once I've finally entered all my books on the new platform it is time to say goodbye!

There are several reasons I have read more this year: cutting out most doomscrolling and all news podcasts being the most significant. But the currently reading tab on #StoryGraph helps me move between books without forgetting them. There is even a reading journal that lets me see how much of each I read in a session. Moving between multiple books (audio, print, and an occasional ebook) paradoxically helps me to maintain my interest in all of them. #Reading #Books

I read I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman. 4.0⭐

Mysterious #dystopian speculative science fiction exploring loneliness, humanity, and survival.

✅ Prompt 2: Belgium

A bit difficult to read given there are no chapter or section breaks, but that does make sense. I'll be thinking about this for a while.
