hi, i recently wanted to look for the best psychology books in [https://www.goodreads.com/] and website doesn't allow me to sort them by ratings. is there any way to do this? i don't want to end up searching "best psychology books" on web and look for ai generated blogs. thanks.

Honestly goodreads just sucks. I've heard https://literal.club/ might be better. Though I'm not sure it supports that use case either.

I've been using storygraph for a year now and couldn't be happier. Worth checking out as well if you're shopping around.

I switched to Bookwyrm. It's been fine, but I do miss the social aspect of having my existing friends on there. Not enough to try to convince like 10 people to migrate their entire accounts, especially since imports from Goodreads are currently broken.

Amazon owns Goodreads and Amazon isn't interested in good rating systems because they want to keep you searching for page after page so they can sell you more ads
