LibraryThing is described as 'Cataloging and social networking site for people who love to read. It allows users to easily create their own catalogs of books that they have read, own, or would like to read' and is a popular app in the news & books category. There are more than 100 alternatives to LibraryThing for a variety of platforms, including Web-based, iPhone, Android, iPad and Android Tablet apps. The best LibraryThing alternative is Goodreads, which is free. Other great apps like LibraryThing are BookWyrm, Open Library, StoryGraph and Hardcover.
Though readers have cultivated vibrant online communities through BookTok, Youtube, and Goodreads, these platforms aren’t meeting our basic needs. Goodreads (owned by Amazon since 2013) suffers from dated tech and an inflexible rating system.
SageChimp is the Goodreads replacement readers have been waiting for. Free forever. AI-matched recommendations, shelves, reviews, book clubs, forums, and blogs. For authors: ARC distribution for $9.99 versus NetGalley's $575, plus free newsletter tools and an author dashboard.

Bookseer recommends books based on who you are right now, not on what you read before. You answer a questionnaire about your current state of life, and the Oracle returns three books with a personal explanation of why this book, why you, why now. One reading per week.
