Published Reviews Module for Home-> Reviews page

I was wondering if we could get a home page module for Published Reviews. One that could have some settings for like "Your Books" or "Recent" or something.
Maybe make it easier to find these reviews for people interested in them.

>1 gilroy: Are you talking about reviews within LT or say amazon reviews or reviews in general. Or is it your own reviews?
Is the home page for ONE book or your library/catalogue?

"Published Reviews" is a section in the work record where snippets from Published reviews (from newspapers and so on) are posted. See https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/HelpThing:Work/Published_Reviews for more details. These tend to get very messy with people misunderstanding what the field is used for - so having a home module similar to other things like that will be useful for the people who are trying to keep the site clean-ish.

There was some discussion of this a few years ago but only one of the four features Tim mentioned has been implemented: https://www.librarything.com/topic/333005
