@Illyrie - I have set up a custom column which stores the Goodreads shelf to which my books have been added.

Lookup name: book_shelf
Column heading: Shelf
Column type: Text, but with a fixed set of permitted values
Values: Unread,Reading,Read

I used a fixed set of values so I could move books between shelves easier.

I then use the Shelf Add/Sync Actions in the Goodreads Sync plugin to set this column with the proper value. The advantage of this is that you can then use the Calibre column coloring/icon options and Tag Browser to be Shelf specific.
