I track at Goodreads. I have a particular interest in books with Australian women writers, Aboriginal writers, and books involving writers and/or characters with disabilities, so I track those things along with a few other tags. These types of books are often not hyped much so I need to look for them specifically if I'm to find what I want to read. People also sometimes ask me for recs along these lines, so tracking them makes it easy to pull out the books I liked. (It's not for 'bragging rights', sheesh.) I also get lost in series if I don't track; and the tailored Goodreads newsletter tells me when an author I like has a new book coming out.
