Add field for "recommender notes"

I often hear something about a book from someone and want to add it to my "Want to Read" list along with a brief note about who recommended it and why they recommended it. Right now there's no good way to do that. I can create individual lists for "Recommended by Alice," "Recommended by Bob," etc, but there's still no place for me to put any notes about why Alice recommended that particular book. Alternatively, I can click into the book and write a journal entry about it, but that feels awkward (several clicks and it feels like I'm misusing the journal feature because I of course haven't started reading the book yet). Would you be open to adding a field to capture this sort of information? Something like "Recommender notes" or "Why I want to read this" or "Reason for interest" or "How I found this"? Or really just any text field that is accessible from the dropdown when adding a book to my "Want to Read" list.
