You are correct. It was a sloppy way to isolate some books. I have since discovered Virtual Libraries, which are very nice, indeed. One just has to remember that filtering books within a virtual library effects all of the previously saved search criteria, tags, series, and any other categorical functions, which is, of course, very logical. I'm sure that is in the Manual, oops.
I am picking up some (possible) glitches when filtering books via the Reading List PI as it relates to the other functions like Saved Searches, Virtual Libraries.
The glitch is not consistent.
If I set up a virtual library based on the set of Reading List criteria, or a saved search based on that criteria, then sometimes moving between Virtual libraries, even saved searches doesn't list any books.
For example
a saved search or virtual library based on the PI criteria
> marked:reading_list_my_reading_list
Rather than plain search criteria not based on the Reading List PI
> search:"=Robert A. Heinlein"
The saved searches and virtual libraries don't mess up when they are not based on the Reading List PI.
However, the Reading List PI is always consistent and will show books correctly. Selecting Random books don't fit any search criteria, so nothing can be saved to search or virtual libraries.
Maybe I'm just thinking about something wrong, which is usually the case
And I just realized that comment is pretty far off topic.
