Over the last few years I have read and listened to many books.

I had kept a list of them on Goodreads site. Then one day in a fit of pique I decided to delete my account and of course the list. However I later decided it was more useful than I had thought at the time, and so opened a new account, reimporting my previously exported list not reimporting or maybe it did, it was hard to tell.

Recently one of my connections on Mastodon added a list of books on their site and I thought that is a good idea.

Implementing it on my Hugo site isn’t ideal as it has to be in listed post format, where I would have liked a grid format with thumbnails linking to a note, but it still works as a reference of what I read and felt about the books.

I have added a few books today and intended to add more over time, not all the books I have read, but certainly the ones I read this year and perhaps a few from last.

The last I may just add as a job lot in one list, which I have as a Markdown table in any case, as there are far too many for me to do it one by one.

Below is a 3d model I made earlier this year for use on something like this post, it took a while but now it is posted and the bookshelf is hung on my blog.
