As title. Even better if whatever you use also helps with recommendations! I’ve been mostly using Goodreads, but Bookwyrm looks like a neat decentralized alternative. Does anyone have any experience with it?

I buy paper books and put them in my shelf. Now get off my lawn, damn kids!

Yeah, and if people are feeling super duper old school, you can just... write shit down on a piece of paper, such as "Read 2023:"

Maybe I'm crazy out of touch, but since when did literally everything require an app

I know a lot of people that bullet Journal their reading lists. And it’s also possible to digitally bullet journal with apps like goodnotes.

Once I buy a place and aren't planning on moving so often, I'd like to do this! But the thought of moving a large book collection is a bit daunting.

A book collection requires years to accumulate. You'll be fine.

Just means you need to get extra book box sized boxes for moving :D

Doesn't hurt to invest in a hand truck so you don't have to carry them from point A to point B and can just load up the truck and wheel them around.
