In December I already posted some plain text notes tracking my reading progress in Stoner by John Williams. (The Dutch translation, by the way, because I got that one somewhere in a very portable version and I was on a city trip to Vilnius.) I already planned to upgrade those plain text notes to a more standarized format, so that I would have /read posts.

Before I could add them, though, I needed a way to give them URLs. So now I have this public list of books I own / owned / want to track, on my new library page: /bieb. All books in there are marked up as h-cites and have a url in the format https://seblog.nl/isbn/9780123456789. Their u-uid is set to isbn:9780123456789, because that seems to be a valid url scheme (but browsers don't know what to do with it).

The next step was simple: I just expanded my shortpost type with a 'read' type, that looks for a read-of field. Thanks to XRay and my existing code, the seblog.nl/isbn/-url gets expanded to a title and author. I also added a page field, because I posted when I was at certain points at the book, and I actually haven't finished it yet.

Now my new /gelezen page looks like this:
