📚 Time to switch to BookWyrm

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

    I’ve been meaning to try some Goodreads alternatives, but I’ve been on there so long and have so many books and custom bookshelves that trying to get all that set up again on a new site is intimidating. I guess I just need to sit down and try it one day, but it’s hard to get over that inertia to just leave it all where it is!
