Trying Bookwyrm
Besides programming and all kinds of IT stuff, I really like reading books. Regarding my Calibre library, I am reading between 10 and 20+ books a year. The spectrum covers a couple of IT books but mostly Science Fiction and Fantasy books.
Bookwyrm?
And since I joined Mastodon and thus the Fediverse, I came across Bookwyrm a couple of times. Bookwyrm describes itself as “[…] a social network for tracking your reading, talking about books, writing reviews, and discovering what to read next. Federation allows BookWyrm users to join small, trusted communities that can connect with one another, and with other ActivityPub services like Mastodon and Pleroma.”

@blog I mostly use it as a place to stash my book reviews before I put them on my blog. I usually find my books are there, or I can import from another instance or open library, but not necessarily the edition I have (UK editions usually).
@clare_hooley Yeah I read about the OpenLibrary feature … And I just wanted to day that maybe the issue is that I was adding german books — but at least one of the books I added manually is also in OpenLibrary. So I’m now wondering why it wasn’t found when I tried to add it.
