gRegorLove Goodreads has "bookshelves". There's three core ones you can't remove: read, currently reading, to-read. They also have an 'exclusive' flag, so a book can only be in one of them at a time.
# gRegorLove You can add as many other shelves as you want, including setting that exclusive flag
# gRegorLove Then they have review records, which can have a start/end date and multiple progress entries
# gRegorLove For a while they didn't support the concept of re-reading a book, but they've added some type of records so you can track multiple start/end dates for re-readings

KartikPrabhu gRegorLove: "bookshelves" does sound a lot like category to me

[jgmac1106] bookshelve could also be a collection of all you read posts

# KartikPrabhu that is a challenge for consumers?
# [jgmac1106] maybe what you do is make a read post, and want-to, start, and finish are webmentions you send to that post?...or do you go back and revise your read post and change the p-category status?
# KartikPrabhu if you are aggregating by the book, then you can sort those posts by published date and you get a sorted list of status updates
# KartikPrabhu so that sounds like a positive
# KartikPrabhu :)
# [jgmac1106] and then I guess then under the aggregation plan adjusting editing the post would just change how it aggregates and it would work
# KartikPrabhu yeah I suppose. you can use dt-edited to do that too
# KartikPrabhu so you publish a to-read post, but then make an edit to have it be "reading" at it can see that
# [jgmac1106] then maybe IMO in terms of iwbc long term be nice if there were input fields that let you select want to, started, and finished, and each time you updated your post it would add the p-category and a dt-edited?
# [jgmac1106] reminds me I have a bunch of books to add
# KartikPrabhu or it could make separate read-status posts about the same book. Depends on the features users want and gRegorLove wants to implement

[Vincent] hello, is there a good tool or recommended parser I can use to check I’ve got my MF correct?
# [Vincent] I found this: https://beatonma.org/app/microformats-reader Which doesn’t seems ok. Not sure if there is anything better.
# [Vincent] *seems ok.

# [Vincent] @KartikPrabhu thanks! Of course I didn’t look in the most obvious place first #fail.

# [Vincent] hello, I’ve been digging through the microformats wiki but I can’t find an answer. What do the p-*,u-*,dt-*,e-* prefixes mean on the relevant MF tags?
# 
aaronpk oh there's a whole page on it http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2-prefixes
# [Vincent] aha! thankyou. My search-fu is failing me today 😞
# [Vincent] a lot faster than me though 😉

# [dave] [aaronpk] I noticed that you're using u-category on links to people checked in with you. Is there a reason why you chose that?
# aaronpk yep that's a "person tag" https://indieweb.org/person-tag
# [dave] Cool, gracias. Will read up on that and adjust UI accordingly. 🙂
