I’ve had a great experience migrating from Goodreads to Obsidian with the Book Search plug-in (uses the google books API). I have a template file for exactly what data I want and how I want it structured (including quotes and notes), and I use Dataview to make custom queries on my book collection for read/to-read/reading statuses. It works very well, looks nice, and is all stored in text/markdown so I own the data.

Have you documented your setup? I’d be curious to learn more
