Do you use Goodreads or something similar like Fantastic Fiction?

    Bookwyrm here. Mostly for reaching reads and the occasional recommendation.

      I tried Bookwyrm and other alternatives. As awful as Goodreads is on mobile, it still works better for me than anything else I’ve tried. Recommendations through what friends read are a huge thing and also so, so many books missing.
