This self-hosted book tracker is far superior to Goodreads.

Forget Goodreads, I use this self-hosted book tracker

As an avid reader and book collector, quantifying my collection is essential to me. And as the biggest reading-tracking platform around, Goodreads has been my go-to for about a decade. But it's clear that the platform is far from perfect. The site has barely evolved in a decade, still has a clunky interface despite overhauls, and packs a recommendation engine that barely understands my taste in books. Amazon’s ownership further adds to the feeling that the sole purpose here is to ensure that my reading data is used for everything but to improve the reading experience.
