They say you can tell a lot about a person by taking a look at their bookshelf. Traditionally, this meant standing in their living room with a tilted head, but with nowadays ebooks our reading history can easily become more hidden. Our virtual bookshelves lie inside our personal devices and aren’t that easy for others to glance on. But it doesn’t have to be that way, as we can also choose to make them public.
