bookbrainz looks terrible. I think they want to be a cross  
between a wiki and reddit or something.

I concur.  Goodreads is probably Goodenuff.  ;)

BookTok seems to be a silly fad.  As many viral things begin by  
boastful claims.. people rush to check them out, thus boosting  
their virology, ..but then they drop dead after everyone gets a  
chance to see how bad they look.
