WordPress Goodreads Bookshelf

May 16, 2009

WordPress Goodreads Bookshelf Plugin

Display a custom list of books from any of your Goodreads.com bookshelves, and stylize it however you want using your own HTML and CSS.

WordPress Goodreads Bookshelf (aka Bookshelf) allows you to display a custom list of books from your Goodreads shelves anywhere on your site that PHP is allowed.

  • You can choose from any one of your bookshelves including your custom shelves on Goodreads.
  • You can specify how many books it should retrieve from the shelf and how often it should update the list on your site.
  • You have full control of how the list is displayed using your own HTML and CSS. So you can easily make it blend in with the rest of your blog.
  • If you have a private account on Goodreads there are specific instructions to set up Bookshelf so that it retrieves your books, but your profile can still remain private.
  • You can use all the standard information (title, author, cover image, isbn) as well as some more detailed information such as rating, date read, review, and many more.
