Next, go to Appearance -> Widgets in your admin menu at WordPress.com and drag the GoodReads widget to one of your widget areas. If this is your first time adding a widget, you might want to take a moment now and get familiar with how to add widgets by reading our Widgetsdocumentation.
Now that you’ve added the widget to your sidebar, you’ll need to save your GoodReads ID and specify which shelf the widget should display. At the moment, we allow you to display one of the default shelves GoodReads provides, “Read,” “Currently Reading,” or “To-Read.”
