Related to pausing/slow reads

I’d love a feature that allows me to read a book over the full year without that affecting all of my stats—showing me reading much more slowly than I really do. An example: I’m about to start reading Diana Henry’s Around the Table, which is 52 essays. I want to read one each week—but it’ll wreak havoc with my stats. And I want to do the same with Nature’s Calendar and The Hidden Year.

Maybe?? I'm doing the same high, but it feels really awkward, and I forget, and I kind of hate it. I think I want a slow read option where stats related to speed compile separately/differently, even though tags, challenges, etc. remain the same. Not being a coder, I really don't understand the scope of what I'm asking for, but... yes, as I sit with it, that is my fantasy. Two speed lanes, both moving in the same direction.
Will the pause feature not help with this? I'm reading one chapter of The Artist's Way on Sunday each week and am pausing after updating my progress.
Nadia iirc from your newsletter The Artists Way is 12 chapters, so that wouldn't push my stats up by too much (my average time was 5 days last year). But even with pausing the book, reading an essay a week for the whole year is still going to take 52 days. That is definitely gonna push my stats waaaay up lol. An option may be the ability to exclude one particular book from those stats?
