Adding Books
From any book page, click "Add to Reading List" (bookmark icon). The book is added to your "Want to Read" list.
Reading Statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Want to Read | On your wishlist — haven't started yet |
| Currently Reading | Active read in progress |
| Read | Completed |
Change status from your Reading List page by clicking the status dropdown on each book.
Viewing Your Reading List
Navigate to My Reading List from the reader sidebar. Filter by status and sort by date added, title, or author.
Removing Books
Click the ✕ icon on any book to remove it from your reading list. This doesn't affect the book's availability — only removes your personal tracking.
