you entered. You can add as many book widgets as you would like.

I’ve been using this widget for over a year, and find it very useful. If it ever
is updated, all I’d like is the ability to make the image a bit larger.

I’m a little biased, but I definitely think it’s a useful little widget. Please 
let me know if there’s anything you’d like added or changed.
