# Book Blog ### Overview The book blog is a web application that utilises the Goodreads API to showcase a user's currently reading books and books they have read. The website has two sections: "**Currently Reading**" with progress bars for each book and "**Books I've Read**" displaying books and ratings. Users can search for books in the latter section. Additionally, the blog offers a review modal for each book. The website supports both light and dark modes for improved user experience. ### Features * Utilises the Goodreads API to fetch user's book data. * "Currently Reading" section with progress bars for each book. * "Books I've Read" section displaying books and user-assigned ratings. * Search bar in "Books I've Read" section for book title searches. * Review modals to read user-added book reviews. * Light and dark mode for user preference. ### Architecture and Technologies * **NextJS**: NextJS for building static website with ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration) * **TailwindCSS**: TailwindCSS for styling the application. * **DaisyUI**: DaisyUI is a plugin for TailwindCSS that provides a set of ready-to-use components and styles.
