Suggestion: Automatically Update Reading Status & Prompt to Add Books
I have two related suggestions for managing reading status:
- Automatically move books to “Reading” when started
If a book is already in the user's Bookmarks under Want to Read or Dropped, starting to read it should automatically move it to Reading.
Also, I think “Bookmarks” could be renamed to “Library.” Since this section is essentially where users manage the books they're reading, want to read, or have dropped, “Library” feels more intuitive and natural.
- Prompt users to add books to their Library
If a user starts reading a book that isn't currently in their Library, then when they leave/exit the book, show a prompt such as:
> Add this book to your Library?
Add it under Reading
[Add] [Not Now]
This would make it easier for users to keep track of books they're actively reading without having to manually add them beforehand.
