si, What you seem to be asking for is a log process. I have a log system that allows me to log a note against any tiddler but it is written to a datatiddler with the key the datetime and contains the source tiddler title. Then a separate list can interrogate the datatiddler for all or just the current tiddler. You could add to this the different reading types.
- Install the comments plugin and see if this is enough for you - Try my login tool here <https://tiddlywiki.psat.com.au/#Wiki%20Log%20tool> The question you have posed highlights a valuable lesson, the book tiddler represents the book and always should. Reading a book is something different and it occurs multiple times and in you example can be done multiple ways. But if you try and force a multiple (Reading sessions) into a singular (book) it gets messy.
