MyBookTable wordpress plugin

[ameliasmith]

I'm not normally big on advertising products but right now I quite like this one, which you can attach to your wordpress site easily and for free. There's a paid version, too, but the free version is working well enough for me at the moment. Today, I just figured out how to add Goodreads reviews to the individual book pages, which is cool.

It's not 100% great -- I've run into some hiccups with links, and you can't link to the more obscure bookstores via the free version, but it's still a nice tool for those of us with a not-quite-professionally-done website. 


wordpress.org/plugins/mybooktable/

Here's how it looks on my website: ameliasmith.net/books/
Page with reviews on it: ameliasmith.net/books/scrapplings/

That's what I did instead of writing today. Actually, I'm still in weekend mode, still needing to do a ton in the garden.

Nice find.

I use a plugin that pulls in my reviews from Amazon:

alanpetersen.com/thriller-books/

But it's not free and only works with Amazon so this one looks like a great option if I ever go wide.


Thanks for the heads up on it.

You can get it to pull Amazon reviews, too, but that costs money plus I have more reviews on Goodreads, so it works for me.

Your site has a good, clean layout. I don't like looking at websites as much as I enjoy looking at book covers, but it's still fun to see what other people do with theirs.
