Stats Response

{
  "total_books": 10,
  "finished": 3,
  "reading": 4,
  "not_started": 3
}

Mark Finished

POST /api/books/{id}/mark_finished/ sets reading_status to finished and current_page to total_pages.

Validation Rules

Title and author cannot be empty or whitespace-only
current_page cannot exceed total_pages (when total_pages > 0)
Setting reading_status to finished automatically sets current_page = total_pages

Admin

Books are registered in Django admin with list display, filters by reading_status and genre, and search by title/author.
