A prominent author's decision to pull her novel from publication after being "review bombed" highlights Goodreads's power and raises questions about its owner: Amazon.

📚 Time to switch to BookWyrm

EDIT: Fairly incredible that this article should appear on WaPo, which is owned by amazon.

    Thanks for the BookWyrm recommendation, looks interesting. I have tried LibraryThing before, but it wasn’t quite what I was looking for. I started building my own Goodreads alternative years ago since I couldn’t find anything existing that suited my needs, but unfortunately didn’t ever have the time to properly work on it.

      LibraryThing is owned by Abebooks which is owned by amazon. 🙁
