A library of all my book reviews

One of the things I love about having a database-backed blog like WordPress is that's it opens up a delightful range of possibilities for displaying content.

I've read and reviewed around 300 books over the last few years. So I wrote a scrap of code which goes through all my book reviews, grabs their cover and rating, and displays them in a nice grid. You can visit it at shkspr.mobi/blog/library

You know how when you're at a friend's home you rummage through their bookshelf? That's the same idea here. You get to poke through the stacks and, hopefully, pick out something entertaining to read. Or, perhaps, you'll be warned off something truly dreadful.

All the code for my blog is open source - and I'd be delighted if you did something interesting with it.

This was heavily inspired by Dave Rupert's bookshelf.
