Add actual reading days to read history | Requests/Ideas

This post has been merged into Show how many days of the year you've read in annual wrap-up

I'd like to see on how many days did I actually read the book.
Now when you go to "view read history", it shows the time period between start and finish, e.g. took 28 days, when I actually only read it at 19 different days.
This also is a stat I'd like to see easier, without going to history.
Maybe when you mark a book as finished, it could tell you how long it took and how many days were you reading.
I do realize that this information might be too much pressure for someone, but maybe this could be a feature you can toggle on/off ?

Merged this into another post, but have you seen the monthly calendar graphic?

Nadia I have, and really like it, but on there you have to count the days yourself nevertheless, and if you started on previous month you need to count on there too.
It's easier to go to journal entries and just count the different days (I might have multiple entry's on a day) It's okay if there's not many, but some collections for example are huge, and if there's months between starting and finishing day, it would just be a lot easier if there were an actual number instead.
(Also side note, lately my calendar has only shown different brown colours, that are quite close to each others, so it's really hard to know wich is wich book when there's multiple books read on one day)

sleepingraccoon I know it's the same as what you've asked for, but just wanted to know that you'd seen it. (And yes, I need to improve the colour-picking algorithm that I built!)
