Goodreads was the future of book reviews. Then Amazon bought it. (www.washingtonpost.com)

📚 Time to switch to BookWyrm

EDIT: Fairly incredible that this article should appear on WaPo, which is owned by amazon.

Thanks for the BookWyrm recommendation, looks interesting. I have tried LibraryThing before, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for. I started building my own Goodreads alternative years ago since I couldn't find anything existing that suited my needs, but unfortunately didn't ever have the time to properly work on it.

LibraryThing is owned by Abebooks which is owned by amazon. 🙁
