Advanced reading goals
Under consideration
Oct 3, 2021
Reading goals v1 is a simple pages/books in a date range.
Expand on this with the ability to limit books by a list, a genre, a reading format (read, listen), a book format (book, short story, graphic novel) and by author details (gender, ethnicity, sexuality).

Could we add a 'manual update vs. automatic count' option to cover more advanced/specific goals? For example, I want to read 5 new to me genres next year, or writers from 10 different countries - these goals are too specific to track automatically, but if there was a manual update option, I could add and check off books that I think count myself.
Edit to add: internisus' suggestion below would be cool as well as allow a hacky way to do my request. i.e. Attach a goal to a list, then add the books I think count to my goal to the list as I read them.
Being able to set reading goals within specific lists would be a very practical addition. For clarity, what I have in mind is lists being implemented as another advanced line option with a drop-down allowing the user to select from their existing lists, and of course only reading books from that list would progress that goal.
undefined This is a great idea
I miss being able to specify which books are part of my reading goal list. An option in the book's menu that would easily add a certain book to the reading goal. Just like Skoob's Reading Goal:
Would it be possible to add a setting for "unique books"? Like, a book can only count towards each goal once? my kid loves to read the same books with us over and over again, and if I log them it kinda feels like padding the goal tracker
