About

As of January 2024 this website is a work in progress

Notes about books are not well thought out opinions but just whatever random thoughts I've put in my notes app whilst reading with some light editing to join them together. I'm bad at spelling and make lots of typos, sorry about that.

My old books page can be found here but I'll not be updating it.

Initial aims

More colorful than the old page
Include photos of book covers
Allow for notes on books
... and links to related webpages etc.

Other libraries

Colophon

This site was built using Sveltekit and a bit of D3 deployed as a collection of static HTML/CSS/JS files (as god intended) on Cloudflare pages, it uses the free Newsreader font, sets no cookies and collects no data. The source code and data are available on github

Todo list

Booklist should be split into years and months ✔️
Make book list filterable
Back and next links on book pages
Add notes and reviews that I've written elsewhere if I can find them
Add external links for books and authors
More photographs
Collection pages
Use seeded random number for the stack layout to stop it redrawing when the JS gets loaded
Publishing year timeline
Book list on the author pages should look the same as the one on the index page
RSS feed ✔️
Use SQLite databse instead of a CSV file?
