@heathr well, bookwyrm is entirely different software that lets me rate and review and catalog my books. and then it has the added benefit that when I'm doing that stuff there, people on mastodon (or wherever) who choose so can comment and we can talk. it's about the affordances that the other software gives me for creating stuff (in this case a record of my books). if I was just chatting about books I would simply do it here
