I'm still on Goodreads but it's so slow, the app's just an even slower webview of the site and the redesign has made me have to click more to do what I want.

What's the alternative? Obviously we're on the fediverse and I see people talking about Bookwyrm.

I used Anobii till 2010 and I can't remember why I left but it's still there. I've poked StoryGraph a bit but it was lacking several of the books I wanted to add.

There must be more! What do you use/recommend?

Well, you don't have to. I like to be able to answer when I've read a book - or, increasingly, whether I've read a book. Apparently there are books I enjoyed while reading but made zero impression on my long-term memory.

My memory is terrible (thanks, Covid), but I will definitely be able to tell someone if I've read a book or not. No list required. Don't ask me what it was about, though.

Memory loss has its advantages, I can read the same book a bunch of times and it's like I've never read it before.
