About this pattern

Looking for a quick and simple way to keep track of the books people recommend to you, and all those well-intentioned purchases piling up in your reading backlog? Card views are a great way to get a high-level view of your reading endeavors, and to add information as you goーincluding notes and ratings. Click on a card below to see more details.
This particular reading list makes use of the . Note that this means some titles may need disambiguation in order to pull in the book cover image for you. Try visiting the book’s wikipedia article, and copy/pasting the article title into the “Title” field of your card (or table) to get the right image.
Or, you can always customize a format and process that works best for you, including adding details for the author, or manually uploading cover images.
We’ve seen our colleagues use similar patterns and techniques for everything from managing their fantasy football teams, to cutting down the time it takes to pick a show on Netflix by having a ranked backlog of “must watch” programs.
