I believe there are some BookWyrm users here, that’s why I’m trying to (mis)use this community as a support forum.

In the latest Fediverse rush I’ve created a BookWyrm account and imported my GoodReads data. Some of the books in my library are pretty niche, had to be imported from OpenLibrary and don’t have a cover picture. So I made a cover photo for one of them and uploaded it to BookWyrm and OpenLibrary.

Now I’m wondering… Is book data entered into BookWyrm contributed back to OpenLibrary? Does anyone use OpenLibrary? OpenLibrary seems to offer pretty much what BookWyrm offers sans the federation. Still, it seems like a good and open project, and being hosted by archive.org and having been co-created by Aaron Swartz. Now I’m on the fence what to use. :-)

    I just joined BookWyrm and imported my Goodreads data. I’m just getting back into reading, so I’m excited to try it out!

    I’m currently reading Recursion by Blake Crouch. I like it a lot so far!
