New #indieweb trick on my part: I'm using Pocket to store the things I'm reading that aren't books, and I've set up an IFTTT recipe to post a read to my site whenever I save something new to Pocket.

And since I don't use Pocket for the thing it's intended for anyway, I figured this would work. And I'm pleased to report that it does.
