I tried 50, but as soon as I add the 21st book, the last book disappears. If I remove a book from the widget the last book does not re-appear, instead I now have 19 books. Upsetting since I was adding a bunch of books to read next, and lost a few off the bottom. I seem to remember that internally CC used to keep an infinite (or huge) list of books added to widget, and the setting when adding a widget only specified how many from the internal list would be shown. Now, it's 20.

The maximum has always been 20. The bug is that the configuration dialog allows values more than 20, which serves no purpose. I will change the maximum to 50 to match the highest value allowed in a configuration dialog. Setting it higher doesn't seem worth it to me, given that the higher number costs memory and processing time.

And speaking of widgets......
It would also be wonderful is there was some kind of shortcut to go from a widget to the listing in CC. Perhaps a long hold tap, like several seconds? Right now it's pretty painful to get to the listing for a book I've just finished reading, I have to look up the title, so a search, and so on.
So... would be great to have some kind of trick to get from the widget to the info page in CC!
If there really is no way to get from the widget to CC, maybe a way to view the list of books opened in the same order as widget shows. Perhaps a new Group?

Doesn't sort by date read give you this order, assuming you allow CC to automatically update the internal CC date read field?
CC cannot treat sort/group values from the widgets for several technical reasons.
Unfortunately Android doesn't provide a long-press event for desktop widgets.
