Looks like Amazon is retiring the Goodreads API, which just another step towards basically abandoning Goodreads and folding it into some other Amazon service I guess: https://joealcorn.co.uk/blog/2020/goodreads-retiring-API

My advice? Get off Goodreads while you still can (ie export your content) and move over to StoryGraph: https://beta.thestorygraph.com

A black-owned startup finally developing a viable alternative to Goodreads. Fuck yeah!

(Why not LibraryThings? Because, guess what.. it’s also owned by Amazon!)

Goodreads plans to retire API access, disables existing API keys | Joe's website

Goodreads has quietly deprecated their public API, and disabled existing API keys without warning.

@moritzheiber I'm looking for a site to put up my thought and reviews on books I've read, rather than looking for a recommendation site (I have way too many to-be-read books).

A bonus would be a site that can cross-reference reviews and notes on short stories too. Short stories can appear in multiple places (on-line, fiction magazines, anthologies, collections, etc.). So, a note I make about story X that I read in collection Y and later appears in book Z gets the note too.
