Collections are a list of different media items. You can share these as well, and there's a clone button so that you can copy someone else's collection and make your own list of where you're at with each media item.

Media items added so far at: books, movies, tv shows, articles, videos, and courses.
There's a share button which links your DID to the share link so that if you recommend a book to someone, they can click on it and add it to their list easily and keep track of who recommended it.
