I just joined Storygraph and it's so much better than Goodreads

Goodreads can be helpful, but often the algorithm is just pushing the biggest authors. I'm an author and I am not a fan of Goodreads at all.

I'm part of a book club and we definitely read the books. We socialize for a half hour and then we have a moderator who we pay to come and we go through the books. It's casual, and we just chat, but the moderator has done research on the author and knows the ins and outs of the book and we talk for about an hour or more about the themes and various aspects. We meet in person.
