I pulled my read list from Goodreads to my blog today. There are no notes or reviews for these books on Goodreads.

I love my bookshelf page. But I have had it for this year only and the literature notes since 2021, even then not noting every book I read. All of this is a long way to say there will be missing books.

This is good enough though. Most of the books are from 2013, while I was in my third year at college. I guess that’s when I would have known about Goodreads.

Here’s how I did it -

1. Export data from Goodreads.
2. There would be a zip of review.json. This file has your data.
3. Ask Claude to create a script to pull this info into markdown.
4. Build the site.
