For about three years I’ve been tracking this on my own personal Notion database. I cared too much about it to lose it when a site shuts down.

i like the way oku.club does it >:0)

Oku - the companion app for your bookshelf

The companion app for every book. Collect, rate & discover books with your friends.

oku.club

I use both GoodReads and Oku. GoodReads for its complete directory, Oku for its UIUX.

I use GR too… For me.. 3 stars is a book I enjoyed but will not recommend. 4 stars is a book I liked a lot and will recommend to some people I know 5 stars will recommend to everyone and will give it as a present

I just have the books in my kindle, same as you regarding the rating

I track my reads in notion and I try to leave a brief note about what I learned, liked, or found interesting. I don’t rate based on how likely I am to recommend it… I need to know something about the reader to recommend a book for them.

I do, I track this on my personal database & update my social “book tracking” profiles accordingly when I have time. I like to rate books mainly as a reminder to myself, and I love the system they have on storygraph with “quarter stars”. (Big diff between 3 and 4 ⭐️ imho!)

I built my own system in Tana because everything else felt heavy. But it’s not social. Similar to what @taylorp said for reasons.

i like to do it with literal.club & haven’t thought about the “out of 5 stars rating” vs. “do you recommend it or not” until now :0
