Ability to display my 100 novels on a webpage
1) View Modes:
-Scalable Grid View: Display the novel covers in a scalable grid. This is ideal when the I want to view the covers and get a visual sense of the collection.
-List View: Display my novels in a list format, showing the title (and perhaps a short description, hovered). This view is useful when the number of novels increases and I want a compact view.
2) Markers for Status:
Use visual indicators such as badges or icons to denote whether a book is "In Progress", "Completed" (but not yet published) or "Published".
3) Series Grouping:
Group together novels that are part of a series through visual borders, backgrounds, or headers to indicate the series name. In the List View, use indentation or a different background color to group series members together.
Implementation Suggestions:
1) Grid View:
- Each book cover is displayed as a thumbnail with a status badge ("In Progress", "Completed", or "Published").
- Hovering over a book shows the title and status badge ("In Progress", "Completed", or "Published").
- Books in a series can be grouped within a bordered container with the series name at the top.
2) List View:
- Each book is represented as a row with the title and a small thumbnail of the cover.
- The status badge of the book is shown next to the title.
- Series books can be indented under a header row that displays the series name.
3) Responsive Design:
- On larger screens, more book covers or list items can be displayed side by side.
- On smaller screens or mobile devices, you can stack them vertically.

Initial feedback of the redesign has been positive.

I've updated the view a bit, hope this help with organizing your novels a bit better. The view already had a list view, but that was only for mobile devices (yes, the app is responsive already!)
