Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

When you write a post daring us to do the big thing, what better way to close than "Largely yours." Been smiling about that all day.
