> you'll probably agree that it's not all that social, and overall not all that exciting

I’ve looked at several goodreads alternatives (because the site is slow and hard to navigate), but never liked any of them. This quote might explain why. I neither want it to be social, nor exciting. I want to track books read / to be read, and see the reviews of others (preferably without 5 million emojis, but that’s neither here nor there). If anything, GR already has too much social network messiness built-in for me.
