Unrelated, but all I want is a letterboxd for books, with the light social aspect, the ability to log a read multiple times, and with a great interface. I read my hope for this into the title of this post, unfortunately.

That would be nice. Wonder if there'll be such a service with the federated small web. Good reads is too heavy on the social aspect for my taste. I used LibraryThing a bit ago, but now I have a note with a list of books I add to regularly.

  https://bookwyrm.social/ https://bookwyrm.social/ is exactly that. It's often sluggish, and not the best UX, but it's usable. I'm hoping it continues to improve.

CLZ Books is sort of in that domain, and is the best solution I came across for cataloguing and tracking my 1000+ post 1970s books https://clz.com/books https://clz.com/books

I'm not logged in to https://hardcover.app/ https://hardcover.app/ right now, perhaps someone can confirm if it allows logging multiple reads.

  Hardcover definitely supports multiple reads. I've got two in mine right now.

I'm building this -> https://building.bookdna.com/roadmap/ https://building.bookdna.com/roadmap/ If you want to join the beta, just email me at ben@bookdna.com. We've got about 100 people using it right now. We are working on goodreads/storygraph imports, and then adding folders. It already supports multiple reads and more.

Have you tried Bookwyrm? https://bookwyrm.social/ https://bookwyrm.social/ It uses ActivityPub, so you interact with Mastodon and stuff, if you are into that.
