  I no longer enjoy using GoodReads so started my own spread sheet of books 10 years ago. That grew into my "open" book review blog that is 99% my personal book database that I just recently put online but decided to open it up and let anyone post.

  Nice :), fun little project! I'm working on a little TBR tracking app, along with some logging to replace my spreadsheet. I had fun checking this out. What is the idea with votes?

    Thank you so much! Exactly, it started as just a spreadsheet for years, GoodReads used to be fun to use but feels restricting nowadays. Originally I made a "Reddit-like" site but just for books. Each post was a book then people just voted up or down. Unlike Reddit the vote rank would be static so over time the site would build a "best of" list for each sub-category/genre based on user votes. Then transitioned that site into my blog after it failed to take off.

      ah very cool, so readers can vote on books they know and love. Nic work, I dig it :)
