Found this the other day - a website that takes a shelf from Goodreads and turns it into a digital bookshelf using images of book spines.
I found this quite cool as a way to display books I've read that might be a mix of digital and physical.
When I first tried it, it was missing quite a few of the book spines. However you can submit your own by finding the spines online and giving the dimensions. At this point I've submitted the majority of my missing ones - the website provides fake covers if you like.
If you give it a go, the shelf name is case sensitive so be careful with that. And the book dimensions are in inches if you decide to submit any.
Love this idea! I've come around to the idea of releasing some of my physical copies into the wild so they can find new readers and this sorta fills the gap of still wanting them around. A 3D version of this had occurred to me as particularly impactful. A big virtual library of every book I've ever read and 3D scanned trinkets/memories I let go of rather than hoard. My own virtual "rich man's study."
The concept of a virtual library is pretty much exactly what I was after when I came across this website!
I'd love some kind of game to this effect where you could invite friends to your library, show off/discuss your favourite books and just hang around and chat. Something akin to Animal Crossing, allowing you to decorate your library however you like but with the added physicality of being able to take books off the shelf and reorganise them.
