Tbh, I don't see the point in using yet another website when I can do exactly the same thing in Calibre, where I do everything concerning my library. I don't want to see any "similar books" list or "readers also enjoyed" list or "more books from the author" list when I click on a title to read the synopsis. That's visual noise for me. in Calibre I can read the synopsis without any of that. And mark the book as read and rate it. No need for Goodreads at all.
I admit Goodreads is good for finding out series info. That's the only thing I use it for.
