@backpackandsnorkel Haven't been there yet, but it's on my list. I have coworkers in Tokyo, one of whom I've met before during his pre-pandemic visit to the US, and I would love to spend time in Osaka. I've loved the idea of visiting Japan since grammar school when I wrote a report on the country.

@grammargirl But you didn't name the books to help boost the authors and maybe get them another sale or two 😀

If these things are true:1. Your TBR is in the thousands, so you don't need more recommendations of #books (and get some from here)2. You get enough "book social" from here3. You already have a way to track what you own / read / wantWhat do #Goodreads #StoryGraph or #Bookwyrm add to the experience? Are there other benefits beyond recs / social / tracking? I used GoodReads for a bit but left long ago. (And I know some authors are active on GoodReads.)#bookstodon @bookstodon

@bookstodon Some nice responses! From what I'm seeing, it does largely fall under recommendations (I include what friends are reading in that), tracking, and socializing with others (which to me includes blogs, forums, etc).For some context, my TBR is currently at 4,457 titles and not even close to complete. I'll read just about anything, so I use Top 100 lists, award nominees / winners, references in movies and TV shows, complete series, author bibliographies, etc. to find what to read.1/2

@redstarfish First time through or a re-read? I've definitely read those two, but I don't think I went on to the third. I'm hoping to get through all of Robots / Foundation / Empire someday.
