I’ve been an avid reader every since I was a little rugrat. I was raised on a small farm in southern Illinois before color TV came into our lives and there were only a handful of channels that we could get way out there. I remember walking into town to go to the Grayville Carnegie Public Library to check out books whenever I had time between chores. We were rather poor (6 kids!) and it was a long way to a store that carried books so I spent a lot of time there. I always got books for my birthday and Christmas and remember sitting in an old tree out back reading in the summer heat (who had air conditioning!). I’ve always thought of putting my book (and maybe movies) list up here to share and came across Viitoria’s blog where she displays her library using a really nice WP plugin called “Now Reading“. I have to admit I had some troubles getting the sidebar issues dealt with but maybe if I had read the instructions a bit more carefully (or maybe if they were a bit more clear ;-) ), it wouldn’t have taken most of the day to figure out. These issues will make nice fodder for another article. Once you get the hang of editing the library templates it’s pretty straightforward to make it work with your theme. For me it was understanding the sidebar issues. It’ll take some time to get all my books up on the shelf so check back often to see if anything interests you and if it does, please click through to buy it from Amazon.
