Your worries are perfectly fine. I would say that being open source is what makes Openreads so great. The app is licensed as GPLv2 so everyone can use it and modify it forever. Not like other proprietary apps that the second they stop making profit can be closed with no option to migrate to any other service.
One of my big books bookshelves, including tomes of fairytales, folktales, art, fashion, boats, cartoons (Asterix), and children’s stories (the complete Thomas the Tank Engline). The unbound volumes are academic works, including a master's thesis written about my older kids’ language acquisition. #ShelfieSunday
I've been on a quest to read books from as many countries as possible and would love recommendations books in English from South East Asian countries other than Singapore (already have a stack from there). Originally in English or translated are both fine, as is almost any fiction or non-fiction genre, although I don't love crime fiction and try to avoid western expat memoirs where work by local authors is available in English.
If you listened to the recent Good Omens serial, adaptated and sound-designed by Dirk Maggs from the book by Neil Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett, then you'll likely enjoy this discussion between old friends and collaborators, Dirk and Neil on the topic. It took place right before the recording.
Good Omens ('90) is a comedy about the coming end-times when Satan sends his son to Earth to precipitate Armageddon. Things don't go according to plan and angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley who were never keen are left to sort things out. Authors Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman are the police.

Well not sure when I'm gonna get around to Baldur's Gate 3 but I guess if nothing else, it is time to start playing Divinity Original Sin 2 for the very first time.
What's that "Aww fuck I wish I knew that before I started" thing that I should know before I start?
