Would work, but
Goodreads no longer gives keys for developers and this plugin requires that, so it's useless. Too bad.

Nice
Very nice lightweight plugin, exactly what I m looking for. Very easy to use. Some book covers won't appear but the plugin's author provides an easy and clever way to bypass the problem which originates from Goodreads.com

Great Little Plugin
Given that currently reading widget from goodreads.com itself doesnt support wordpress, I'm so glad that this plugin was made. Its super simple but great. Thank you for making it!

My bias review of my own plugin. Don't judge, stars matter!: Plugin works great to display GoodReads read/reading shelves. Simple and easy.
