Deleting Books from Library/Reading Life Stats

[paulsalter]

Hopefully an easy one that someone may know the answer to

Because of how awkward it is to look through the library when you have many books, I was thinking of deleting read books from the library, just to cut the numbers down a bit

I dont want to affect the number of books/pages read and also the average figures shown in the reading life page

Can I safely remove books without it affecting reading life ?

Any other reasons why I should keep read books in library ? (except for obvious re read at some point)

Thanks
