When I have to start reading a book I want to know if it’s good or garbage, so I like to read some reviews. I don’t trust Goodreads, are there some alternatives?
StoryGraph is great for both tracking your reading, finding new books and reading reviews. You can export your Goodreads list over too. Amazon can bugger off
I usually read one or two reviews on Goodreads and take the average of the stars.
I’ll sometimes watch YouTube reviews to get a feel for the book.
I find reviews of books on Goodreads to be open and honest especially by users. I’m a frequent poster of reviews on books that I have read and try to be honest about them. If your really stuck you could always ask ChatGPT…!!
I use Goodreads mostly but I will agree the reviews are mostly miss so I use it primarily for tracking
I know this is a late reply but I read them on TheStoryGraph.
