Currently Reading Overview

The Currently Reading section is where we share the books that are currently shaping our thinking. It gives visitors a glimpse into the ideas and influences behind our work, without needing full-length reviews.

📚 What is it for?

Use this section to highlight:

Books you’re reading as a team or individual
Titles you recommend or have found particularly impactful
Sources of inspiration for Think Wellbeing’s work

Each entry includes a short summary, a cover image, and the book’s author. It’s designed to be quick to add and easy to keep up to date.

🛠️ How it works in WordPress

Currently Reading is a custom post type in WordPress. In the admin area, you’ll see:

All Books – to view, edit, or delete existing entries
Add New Book – to create a new entry

Each book entry includes:

Title – the book’s name
Author – who wrote it
Summary – a few lines on why it matters
Featured Image – ideally the book cover

🚩 Reading Flags (Featured)

There’s a special taxonomy called Reading Flags, which currently has just one option: Featured.

This is important:

Only one book should be marked as Featured at a time
The most recent Featured book will appear on the website
If no book is marked as Featured, the Currently Reading section won’t display

This gives you control over what’s visible on the front end, without needing to unpublish older entries.

🖼️ Image Guidelines

Use high-quality cover images
Portrait orientation looks best
Avoid large file sizes to keep performance strong

✨ Why it matters
