I have to do a search on the author/title, and find the book in CC, then mark as read.

I've never found a way to mark a book as read without manually searching for it... again. That's why I was hoping for a shortcut from the widget to the CC view.
Use Date Read. CC can update Date Read every time it launches a reader on a book. Tapping on a widget does exactly that -- causes CC to launch a reader. To turn this on, go to CC Settings / Marking books read and check the box "Update Date Read when read".

In CC, by default when you sort by Date Read you will see the books listed in the reverse order of the read date with the latest book on top. If you see them in the forward order then choose the sort again to invert it.

It looks like you can catch a double tap on a widget, would this work in the CC widget to get to CC from a double tapping on a books icon?

That example isn't a double-tap. It is catching tapping on different parts of the widget.

The underlying object, a RemoteView, does not signal anything other than a tap. Some people try to time and count clicks to simulate double-tap, for example like this, but that level of kludge isn't something I want to do.
