[Feature Request] Add a “Did Not Finish” / “Abandoned” reading status #563

Description

@daniblues79

Problem

There’s currently no way to mark a book as “Did Not Finish” (DNF) or “Abandoned”.

Proposed solution

Add a “Did Not Finish” / “Abandoned” status alongside the existing reading statuses.

Ideally, marking a book as abandoned would:

  • Remove it from Currently Reading.
  • Optionally keep it in the reading history, depending on the user’s preference.
  • Display a clear DNF / Abandoned badge / icon on the book.
  • Allow users to filter and find abandoned books separately.
  • Preserve the reading progress reached when the book was abandoned.

Why this matters

A dedicated DNF / Abandoned status would make reading history more accurate and give users more flexibility when organising their library.

It would also allow users to keep track of books they deliberately stopped reading without having to delete or hide them.
