Sure this has been asked before but I'm looking for goodreads alternatives that don't have dogshit UIs (also fuck amazon) – I mostly want to keep it as a log of everything I've read but what makes letterboxd so great for me is I've discovered so many films I otherwise wouldn't have heard of – what do y'all recommend or is goodreads the unfortunate be all and end all

StoryGraph
I am using StoryGraph. Fable is nice too. I just use it to track what I’ve read.
StoryGraph. I like the monthly/yearly wrap ups they do for you.
I use Storygraph 🙂 They have a roadmap with still many improvements but I think it is one of the best (if not the best) option if you want something similar to Goodreads.
I love StoryGraph so much!!! My bff uses it and Fable together. I’ve also heard some people use Notion
Fable is nice. Nice social interface. They removed a lot of problematic AI features recently. My only problem is that your friends’ reviews don’t show up at the top of the list when you select a book.
Tried fable and storygraph and didn’t like either. My biggest gripe with Fable is they don’t have a website, it’s all on mobile and I don’t want to only have access to my stuff through mobile app. I personally like going to Goodreads on my laptop.
So yeah sadly I haven’t found a good alternative at least for me.
Are they owned by Amazon? I recently used good reads to find a sci-fi book with some audible credits I had to spend and it was awful. I think Amazon might be pumping reviews.
The book was Scythe if anyone is interested. Not the worst book I’ve ever read but nowhere near its rating.
The storygraph
StoryGraph is amazing.
I’ve used goodreads as you used letterboxd, but after a while it stagnated a bit. But then StoryGraph’s ai thing is absolutely fantastic.
StoryGraph is the answer.
