Question Managing reading queue and read books

I know this question has been posted several times but I don't seem to find a definite answer.

We are 3 users at home: my wife, my daughter and me.

I need to set up my calibre library so we can have the following categories:
  • My wife's reading queue
  • My wife's read books
  • My daughter's reading queue
  • My daughter's read books
  • My personal reading queue
  • My personal read books

Worth mentioning that the same book can be in the different categories at the same time. For instance, a book that my wife has tagged as read but is on my daughter's reading queue but at the same time in none of my categories...or viceversa - they love fantasy books while I'm more a James Ellroy kind of type

When I was the only calibre library user - for a very short time until my family members discovered the joys of ebooks - I used to have a custom boolean column with YES/NO, then I had a star rating system but none of these approaches seem to cut it.

I've read some of you use tags for this categorizing but I can't seem to find a satisfying solution to my issue.

What do you think would be the best approach?

Many thanks
