Manually Add Books to a New "Want to Read" Section

[iamgabereal]

Describe your suggested feature

Include an option to add a book or series manually to a new Want to Read section. Kind of like a queue/wish list of titles that a person wants to read soon.

The option could be named something like "Add to Queue" in the 3-dot drop-down menu of a book/series, and placed right under "Add to read list" or "Add to collection"

Other details

Sometimes I'm browsing through my libraries and see something I'd like to read but not really in the mood to take on that particular style/genre at the moment. Next time I am in the mood, I either completely forgot about it or don't have the time to browse through tons of titles for something to read.

My current workaround is to open a book and "read" only the first page or two just so that it's automatically added to the top Keep Reading section. It's not terribly inconvenient to do it this way, but it would be nice to have a separate section for those books I might want to read sometime soon.

One could also make a reading list named "Queue" and add titles that way, but that's not immediately available like the On Deck and Keep Reading sections which are on the Home screen. So I don't see that particular way as a convenient workaround. This also poses a small issue, when you finish reading a book you need to remember to manually remove it from that reading list, and also you can only include single books not a series.

There are some similar requests (#603 and #855), though those deal with making On Deck editable. Having a separate section would allow On Deck to be kept as-is for people who may rely on that section for their particular use.

There is also request #595 of a "My List," however, that works differently than what I am suggesting (it is also stale/closed, unresolved). That particular #595 suggestion is only for Series and seems to have to be managed manually (judging by the comments). In my Komga libraries I have some "Series" (windows folders) that works as a "Various" folder. For instance, a "Batman [Various]" "series" that has various one shots or OGNs or random Batman-centric books that are not part of an actual series. Maybe I want to add only one or two books from that to the queue instead of the entire "Batman [Various]" "series."

A Want to Read section should also work just like the Keep Reading section and would automatically remove a book from that section once it is read completely (though it should still have an option to also remove it manually if needed). If you have a series added to Want to Read, it will automatically be removed from here once the first book is read, because then it would obviously show up on the On Deck section at that point.

That makes sense in my head but hopefully it makes sense the way I described it.
