Book List

What is Book List?

With Reading Forest's book list feature, you can manage not just books you've read, but also books you want to read and books you're currently reading - all in one list.

Main Features

• List Display View all books registered in the currently open reading note. See title, author, page count, and reading status at a glance.
• Status Management Status icons are automatically displayed in the Progress column to show each book's reading state.
  • 📚 Unread - Books you haven't started yet (0% progress)
  • 📖 Reading - Books you're currently reading (1-99% progress)
  • ✅ Completed - Books you've finished (100% progress)
  • ⏸️ Stalled - Books with no reading activity for 180+ days
  Status is automatically determined from progress and last reading date - no manual setup required.
