Compare stats scales for No. of books read

When I compare stats (say across 2 years) the scaling used for the No. of books read in the charts for Genre, Tags, Authors, and Star Rating do not match. For example if I read a lot more books in 2024, the x-axis may extend to 6, but the x-axis for 2025 only extends to 4.

This makes it hard to visually compare stats based on the length of the bars. 3 books in 2024 would be the same length bar as 4 books in 2025, making it appear based on a glance that I read the same amount both years.

I agree! Same with moods. Looking at the comparison of 2024 to 2026, the length of the bars makes it look like I have read a lot more reflective books in 2026 when in fact I read less. To compare two things, the scale has to be the same.
