What do people use to track their reading? (kbin.social)

As title. Even better if whatever you use also helps with recommendations! I’ve been mostly using Goodreads, but Bookwyrm looks like a neat decentralized alternative. Does anyone have any experience with it?

I read almost exclusively on Kindle, which integrates with Goodreads and updates when I’m done reading an ebook, so I still use Goodreads for that reason. I also manually track my reading in StoryGraph, though, which I like better with one exception: No ability to add quotes from books you’ve read. I really like sharing my favorite excerpts, so I miss that feature on StoryGraph.

Unfortunately Goodreads does not allow for multiple profiles on an account (as far as I can tell). My wife has been reading through dozens and dozens of books over the last couple years and linked my amazon account to goodreads, so I can't link my kindle there as well.

I just signed up for StoryGraph though, it looks promising, although it may be a pain in the ass to do everything manually.
