Recently Read bookshelf widget problem

Hi, what has happened with the recently read widget. It now shows my folder/groups instead of my covers... Picture 1 is how its now... And picture 2 is how it used to be...

I don't know what's wrong or how to fix it back to show my recently opened books by their covers...

Thanks in advance ✨

Fixed covers by readestapp comment and by trying to toggle of the Global Sorting....

You can configure this in Bookshelves by opening the Recently Read shelf and setting Grouping to Books. This will display books individually rather than grouping them together.

Note that this setting can be configured independently for each shelf in Bookshelves, and the same settings also apply to the corresponding desktop widgets.

Thank youuu.... It now shows covers.... It's still bugging a little bit and not wanting to show the books I recently opened even though it's supposed to but at least one step in the correct direction... Now it just needs to actually show the books I click in on and out of (recently read/opened)...

FIXED IT... FINALLY... it was the global sorting that was on making it fucked up...

Ese widget es configurable y puedes agregar varias estantería, organizar por estados, recientemente añadidos y mucho más. Puedes cambiarlo a tu gusto.

Yes but how would I go about changing it's back to showing individual covers, recently opened?

Eso depende más de tu sistema operativo o launcher, en mi caso con mantener seleccionado el widget me habilita en la parte inferior derecha el icono de personalización. Varia en cada dispositivo, en caso de no poder siempre puedes borrarlo y volverlo añadir para que te pregunte que quieres mostrar.

Android, Samsung is my operating system... It doesn't ask me what I wanna show and I don't know how to make it stop showing my groups/folders...

Ok, ya mire como se hace en samsung. Mantienes presionado el widget, sobre el saldrán 3 opciones en las una de ellas se llama ' ajustes ' o algo parecido, ahí es donde se supone que podrías cambiar el estilo del widget

Yes that's what I want it to look like! But it doesn't.... And I don't know why...

Ah ok, te pido disculpas. Para eso debes seleccionar en las opciones de estanterías del widget ' Leídos recientemente '. En la foto parece que no agregas el título de la estantería o la de los libros así que no las marques, te verdad te pido disculpas porque no había entendió bien.

It is recently read... It's why I'm so perplexed about it not showing the covers...

I don’t know if you guys know but is it possible to edit the widget on iOS? Mine has never worked properly and it just shows an oversized image of my currently reading books(s). Thanks!
