    Open Library lacks some of Goodreads social functionality but it offers the same personal reading tracking, including reading challenges. It is easy to contribute new books or update information about books already in Open Library.

    It is not owned by Amazon, and book data is linked openly with the Wikidata project for everyone, not closed down for the owner alone.

    inventaire.io is a good Idea but does not have the Community functions of goodreads. If you just Want to store you're book lists it is an interesting alternative and it is even possible to import from goodreads.
