A prominent author's decision to pull her novel from publication after being "review bombed" highlights Goodreads's power and raises questions about its owner: Amazon.
You might like StoryGraph better for that. I switched from Goodreads because I got sick of all the social aspects of the site. I just want to keep track of what I’ve read and update it so I get a Spotify Wrapped like experience for books—StoryGraph offers that.
Does anyone else ignore the reviews and social media aspect of Goodreads and only use it to organize their data?

When StoryGraph gets its api (on the roadmap). That’ll be delightful.
I’m still bummed GoodReads discontinued their official API. (They have an undocumented GraphQL one driving parts of their site you can use. Ish.)
This would imply having an account on something owned by Amazon. No, thanks.
