  this is pretty cool, but I never understood the appeal of “hey guys im reading this book”

  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.

    For me it’s about tracking what I want to read 😅

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