BookWyrm is a federated open social reading platform, and is the Fediverse's alternative to Amazon's GoodReads.

There's more info about BookWyrm at https://joinbookwyrm.com and there's a list of servers you can join at https://joinbookwyrm.com/instances

You can follow the project's account at @bookwyrm, and BookWyrm accounts can be followed from Mastodon etc, for example @mouse is the lead developer's BookWyrm account.

You can import your book data into BookWyrm from GoodReads, LibraryThing, StoryGraph, OpenLibrary and Calibre.

To import data, first export it from the other service as a CSV file, then log into your BookWyrm account, go to Settings > Import, select the type of data and then browse to the CSV file you had exported from the other service. Select the correct privacy setting, then click "import".

I thought about getting a bookwyrm account, but in my LibraryThing I have about 1.600 books registered as I'm using it for keeping track of the books we own. I don't think thats the usecase bookwyrm is aiming for.

You might want to check out @inventaire as that's mainly about cataloguing book collections and organising personal or private libraries?

I think they were the first ones to work on the catalogue which BookWyrm now uses.

@shadowsword you can certainly do that. I have a books I own shelf. You can make that private if you want. But if that is all you want to do then maybe other options are more appropriate.
