What’s New 2.22.9
When you add a brand-new book that isn't already in the shared database, the app now requires at least one piece of real information beyond title and author — like an ISBN, description, cover, publication date, page count, publisher, series, genre, trope, audio details, or a purchase/review link. Title-and-author-only entries are no longer sent for moderation, which keeps the public book database cleaner and easier to verify. Your personal copy still saves normally either way.
