When viewing books in the library view, it would be great to be able to see the full name of a long-titled book without having to open its specific page.

When hovering the mouse over the title of a book item in library view, show a tooltip/hover-text of the full book name.
It may make sense to only display the requested tooltip/hover text if the book currently being moused over is actually truncated, but it would be understandable if that is burdensome to determine.

This is more for https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf (includes the web client) since you can't really do a hover event with a touchscreen. This repo is specifically for the mobile apps.
