Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Allow users to "stealth" add a book to their collection, or "stealth save" it as finished.

Why would this be helpful?

I set my ABS setup up in April, my year in review stats for 2025 are not only full of utter nonsense, such as me listening to 46 days of Romance, which isn't true, or my bes month being in February.... he most important thing to me, is the feature of being able to add an audiobook to my collection, and marking it as saved without it impacting my stats for the year.

Not only for when you're just setting up the app, but when you're adding a book to your library that you might've finished in 2014, but can't (currently) mark it as finished in (current year) without it adding to that year's stats.

This is 100% not my idea, I got the idea from Backloggery, a site for tracking your video game backlog. When you add a game, or mark it as finished, you can "stealth save" the entry so it won't impact your stats for the year. Such as when you add a game to the site you purchased in (previous year), and don't want it impacting your current year stats. Or when you re-beat a game or mark it as completed, and don't want it to count for your stats twice, fudging the numbers. I think a similar feature would be amazing for ABS.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

I wouldn't know how to preview this, but I feel a simple:

"Mark as Finished"
"Mark as Finished (stealth)"

would suffice. Or, for new titles, "Remove from (current year) stats" as an option, so it doesn't count towards your new titles.
