@manton Oh this is awesome. And exactly the kind of thing bigger apps wouldn't integrate with. Thanks for testing it out.

@manton That's cool. I just added my account. Currently waiting on the import. Am I right to assume the books will be removed from each shelf as they are removed from Libby (such as when a loaned book is returned or a hold is moved to loans)? Or will the history be preserved?

@manton Looks great and worked like a charm. Currently show loans and holds. Will it show the history as well?

@pratik Ha. Great minds. Are your current books already showing? The shelves were created automatically, but they're currently empty.

@pratik I wasn't planning on adding history. What would you use that for?

@Mtt Yes, as books are moved into holds or loaned, the special shelves in Micro.blog are updated automatically to remove or add a book. There's no history. It assumes you'd have your book reading history on your blog or in other bookshelves anyway.

@Mtt Oops, check again now. Looks like there was a bug with some library IDs, fixing.

@manton Moving forward, I could move/copy them to the Read or Abandoned shelf instead of re-entering them in Epilogue

@Mtt I only have three books each on hold and loans and they showed up after 5 minutes

@manton Thanks. Looks good. I would love to be able to choose a list where books go when removed (for example, when removed from loans, add to "finished reading" or even "loan history"). But in the grand scheme of things, that's a minor request for a feature that's barely 10 minutes old. I'm happy with it no matter what.
