Comparing how many books your wife and you have read so far is also what #marriage consists of :)

May Reading Roundup - all A reads. Favorite was Claire of the Sea Light.

1. The Waste Lands by Stephen King
2. Claire of the Sea Light by Edwidge Danticat
3. The Art of Death by Edwidge Danticat
4. Beartown by Frederik Backman
5. Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton

I also DNF at 25% The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones. Wasn't my thing even though it's spectacularly written.

Today's #books stuff:

- Spent a while making a local "backup" of my #BookWyrm reading log for the past year and a half I've been there. Now that I've done, I need to do this for *everything* in #Goodreads. (This is gonna take some time...)

- I finally did get a data export of my Goodreads stuff! ...except it's a giant zip file of zip files of JSON files, so getting it into an *useful* format might need some jiggerypoking.

- Aside of BookWyrm (which I'm very happy with thank you for asking) I'm actually considering some other services too. For redundancy's sake. Maybe The #StoryGraph, been hearing good news about it? (Any service that proudly advertises itself as "Amazon-free" is at least *tentatively* good. You know what, I'll probably give it a shot.)

It's #readingwrapup time! I love the stats #StoryGraph provides, they really know how to appeal to the book nerd in me.

I'm using Pagebound, and I do love it. However, I'm really not a fan of when I mark a book as "currently reading", I have to manually enter how many pages the book has in total.

Goodreads and StoryGraph has this data right out of the gate. Why is it that Pagebound doesn't have it?

Got this email today about Storygraph coming to Kobo - and I am VERY excited for this!!! More reasons to make the swap.

#kobo #storygraph

My usual spot for cataloguing the books I've read, https://bookrastinating.com, has been down for several weeks, so I've decided to open a #StoryGraph until bookrastinating's servers come online:

https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile/bm_brologue

I love the Fediverse, I don't love it when small servers up and vanish.

(FTR the admins claim they're working towards a fix, and I appreciate them for it. I can't say I love something unless there's at least one part of that thing that's a bit dogshit.)
