My Bookshelf
At the start of 2022 I set myself a goal to get into the habit of reading.
Following the advice from Atomic Habits, I decided to chain this new habit to an existing one: drinking my morning coffee. It has worked tremendously well. It also helps that my work does a montly book club which encourages me to read at least 1 book a month.
Since I mostly read on an e-reader (and sometimes listen to audiobooks), I thought that creating a virtual bookshelf of sorts might be a fun exercise. The following is mostly pure CSS and HTML, with a little bit of Javascript to add randomisation.
If you want to incorporate this into your own website you can find the repo here.
