I recently discovered Bookwyrm and am really liking it. It's not quite as full-featured as The Storygraph or Goodreads but it covers all of the most important functionalities and it's federated which I appreciate. Something that it is missing Vs either The Storygraph or Goodreads at the moment is volume of reviews (ie. Volume of users.) However, your review won't get lost in the sea so much and I've found that it's been quite easy to find readers with similar interests.

Anyway, who here is using Bookwyrm? What's your account so we can all follow each other? (Mine is [email protected])

Interesting! The Age of Surveillance Capitalism sounds like a fascinating read and might get me to understand a lot more about the topics that my housemates tend to talk about, haha. Might even surprise them. Seven Types of Atheism also sounds like a good read.

My preference in self-help books tend to be related to creativity and mental health, so when it comes philosophical topics I am definitely interested in exploring things like idealism. However, I'm also getting into FOSS and technology as a topic due to my plan to explore Technical Support as a future career. Lots of different things to read about if I look it up properly, I think!
