I did it again.... started another Fediverse service, this time a Bookwyrm instance.
I used Goodreads, but if there's a Federated alternative, why not use that.. So I setup a server and opened registrations.
Enjoy, and please let me know if you find anything that can be improved or changed.

this is pretty cool, but I never understood the appeal of "hey guys im reading this book"
I just subject that to the first person I talk to at work instead lol

It's more like:
You: Hey guys im reading this book
Random Guy: Hey! I'm currently reading this book as well!
You: Cool! Let me check out what else you like!
And that's how you find your book people and with them a stack of unread but cool books you need to work through.

Martha Wells. Finished the Murderbot series, wrapping up the Raksura. All very much of the same cloth, but I enjoy it.
Also recently discovered Naomi Novik's Scholomance trilogy, I had only read her Temeraire books before.

I just use services like that for reviews and tracking what I have already read.

I read several books a month. It's never occurred to me to mention what book I'm reading to anyone, ever.

Why not lol, is it not a big part of your day or personality? Why not let them get to know you a bit more

I use it pretty heavily for tracking books that I want to read in the future. I follow multiple people who share similar tastes to me, and so I'm able to find a lot of really awesome books just by seeing what they're reading.

I really need to ditch Goodreads and get into Bookwyrm. :)

I just created an account there and when it came time to add books, a whole bunch of books I read didn't even show up. I'll have to look more into it when I have more time.

Who are some people to follow on Bookwyrm?

I use it. It's great for seeing your progress of reading a book over time. I update the # of pages I read for every book and the dates show me my pace.
