What is Goodreads shelf?

Goodreads shelf is one of 590+ free widgets on PlanckUi. Currently reading, as a shelf. People follow people. Showing the human behind the work builds more trust than any copy can.

Use on personal sites, portfolios, link-in-bio pages and team pages.

Everything is rendered in an isolated shadow DOM, so it can never conflict with your site's own styles — and at a few kilobytes, it won't move your page speed.

Everything included

  • Currently reading, as a shelf.
  • Free forever — no watermark, no usage limits, no "upgrade to remove"
  • Customize everything: colors, fonts, corner radius, shadows, dark mode
  • Copy-paste install: one snippet of HTML works on any website builder

Add Goodreads shelf to your website in 3 steps

  1. Customize it. Use the Paint editor right on this page — set your colors, fonts, radius and content. Goodreads shelf updates live as you change things.
  2. Copy the HTML. One click gives you a self-contained snippet. No account needed, nothing to install, no script from our servers.
  3. Paste it on your site. Paste it anywhere HTML goes: your site, a landing page, WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Ghost — if it renders HTML, it works.

Goodreads shelf is free on PlanckUi — the same embed runs $15–40/month on Elfsight or Common Ninja. No watermark, no usage limits, no credit card.

Frequently asked questions

Is Goodreads shelf really free?
Yes — completely. PlanckUi widgets are free forever, with no watermark, no usage limits and no credit card. Paid widget platforms charge $15–40 per month for the same embeds.
Do I need an account to use Goodreads shelf?
No. Click "Copy HTML" and paste it on your site — that's the whole flow. An account is only needed if you want to collect live data (like customer testimonials) and manage it from a workspace.
Does it work on Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, WordPress or Shopify?
Yes. If a platform lets you paste an HTML embed block — and all of them do — Goodreads shelf works there. The snippet is plain HTML and CSS in an isolated shadow root, so it can't fight with your theme.
Will Goodreads shelf slow down my website?
No. The widget is a few kilobytes of HTML and CSS rendered locally in your browser — no external requests, no tracking scripts, no layout shift.
