A wordpress widget for your aNobii.com account


== Description ==

[aNobii](http://www.anobii.com) is a social networking service for book lovers. It was set up in 2006 by a private company owned by Greg Sung and based in Hong Kong.
The service allows individuals to catalogue their books and rate, review and discuss them with other readers. The service is available via the aNobii website and iPhone and Android Apps. The Apps allow individuals to barcode scan books and read both community and expert reviews.

This is a Wordpress plugin that adds a widget to display your books from your [Anobii](http://www.anobii.com) account.
