Reading Challenges with book-specific prompts

Right now users are just making the title of the prompt the title of the book.

Really a host should be able to attach a book to a prompt, and once any edition of that book is read by a participant, the prompt is complete!

This may not be a V1 feature, but I would love for DNFs to be represented somehow with this sort of challenge. For broader prompts like those in the Genre or Read The World challenges, if I pick a book and decide to DNF it, I'm much more likely to just try to find something else. Although I could see an argument for wanting DNFs to count for those as well, for a challenge with book-specific prompts, if I do try to read the book but just don't like it, I don't want to feel pressured to power through it just for the sake of completing the challenge. Maybe something like this?

jaina8851 DNFs will be included by default for this type of challenge (and eventually the others by choice).

This would be really useful for reading shortlists for book prizes

Adding another comment in support of this request - this is something I would LOVE to see implemented. I interact with book-specific and non-book-specific prompts very differently - for me I have a distinction between a "reading challenge" and a "reading list." I like tracking which titles in a series/by an author/award lists I've read (and seeing the % read go up over time), but that is different and a more passive experience, as compared with "read a book with this criteria" challenges.

I would love this feature, and especially love if you would consider making challenges sortable when you do this? For example, I have some pretty long book challenges, and I'd love to be able to sort the books added to that challenge to see books with a certain pacing or sort by page level if I want to make progress in the challenge but don't want to sit down with a 600 page book.

This will be amazing for so many of the reading challenges I like to do.

I’d love this for the following challenge in particular due to the inclusion of short stories that may have had a stand-alone format as well as being published within a larger collection or anthology. the important point here is that the challenge attempts to track the individual stories, not the collection/anthology publications as a whole: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/2b4ad49e-668a-4824-bd1e-099d898a36a6

So many reading challenges would benefit from this (like reading the 1001 book to read before you die list), also useful for when you read a longlist/shortlist for a literary prize.
