Add Books to Challenges without Counting as Read/TBR

This feature is more likely suited towards challenge creators, but as someone who runs multiple challenges, I often receive questions to make recommendations for books for different prompts to get people creative juices thinking when selecting their books.

Currently, if I add a book to a challenge it shows it as a book I’m planning to read for that prompt and then once read it counts as my book read for that prompt. Few issues with this: it makes it hard to tell using StoryGraph which book I’m actually planning to read for that prompt AND if I’ve already ready a book I added as a suggestion, it shows it as completed.

My challenges are perpetual meaning there is no start and end time.

I would love a way, even if it’s just an option available to challenge creators, that we can add books as recommended reads for specific prompts, WITHOUT it showing as the books I want to read or have read for the prompt.

In the attached image, you’ll see if have 7ish books as recommendations on the prompts, BUT because I’ve read one, it’s showing it as being completed, but I haven’t actually completed it and don’t plan to read any of these for the prompt, I was providing ideas to my challenge participants.
