Currently Reading

Supplying an ISBN (and, optionally, a Title) will display a cover image of the relevant book with a link to that book’s page on Google Books using the Google Books API.

Using the Widget you can choose whether to:

• Force all calls to Google to be HTTPS, instead of the API returned HTTP
• Pad the Image (selected by default, uses internal CSS)
• Display a Box-Shadow (selected by default, uses internal CSS)
• Choose Alternate Google Country (defaults to “Worldwide”)

as well as

• Decide whether you would like to use a Title
• Define the ISBN-10 or ISBN-13 of the book.

Usage

1. Activate the Plugin via “Plugins” → “Currently Reading” → “Activate” (if you hadn’t already done so).
2. Go to “Appearance” → “Widgets” and drag the “Reading” widget into whichever Sidebar you choose.
3. In the “Currently Reading” widget, you can then customise it further.
