Preferably something with a social aspect too where you can see the books others have read. Something like MyAnimeList but for books

I have been using Bookwyrm - it's a fediverse style replacement for Goodreads.

I love using The Story Graph. It works well in the browser and there's and app. https://thestorygraph.com/

Can users write reviews?

[–] hidden_splendor 2 points 10 months ago

Yes, they can

What you are looking for its something like goodreads (amazon owned), bookwyrm is trying to do the same in open source with ActivityPub (https://joinbookwyrm.com/) but it's still in a let's say "usable alpha state".

If you want a open source app with no social aspect I'm using https://github.com/mateusz-bak/openreads-android.

Another vote for StoryGraph. Goodreads is Amazon owned so fuck them. If you have a Goodreads account you can export it to SG.

The Storygraph is really cool.

Neat idea, but it would probably take me a year to populate an app like that with all the books I've read. :(

Goodreads is probably what you're looking for

Maybe just use Excel?

Stop using Excel as a database.
