Content warning BookWyrm the software
Oh no, #BookWyrm currently[1] prevents a user from shelving a work as "Read" in more than one edition.
It also obstructs the making of progress updates relating to that work once you've "finished reading" any edition of the book. (Which is a less significant but likely connected barrier I'd run into already with a completely different book, as I continued to work through one version after finishing another version).
In attempting to find some sort of cumbersome workaround, I've accidentally wound up with this Wohlleben work counted on my 2023 books page once as the German text but twice for the English... (instead of once for each).[2]
Yet the German copy still will not budge from my "Currently Reading" shelf. Can't even seem to relegate it to "Stopped Reading" as a compromise.
An alternative might be to catalogue each edition (that anyone wants to distinguish from another they ever read) as a separate work... but doing so would clutter up the author pages, search results, and databases. Badly.
If any kind souls with GitHub access could please file an Issue about this problem, that would be much appreciated!
[1] We Loved Your Book So Much We Ate It is running on BookWyrm 0.6.3, the latest stable release as at the time of gripe.
EDIT: [2] Okay, fixed the tally-mistake by deleting some of the "reading activity" associated with that edition.
