Not sure what you mean by that. By "three states", I assume you mean the "to-read", "currently-reading" and "read" shelves. I think that means you are talking about automating the moves between them as you get a new book, read it and then mark if finished.

If that is the case, my process is that when I start a book, I use "Add to shelf" to put the book on the "currently-reading" shelf. And I add it to any other appropriate shelves. As I read the book, I use "Update reading progress" to update the percent read (as fetched from my Kobo ereader). When that hits 100%, the book is moved to the "read" shelf and the rating and last read dates updated. Occasionally I add a comment.

I don't use the "to-read" shelf. Goodreads only know about the books I am currently reading, or have finished. There are a few exceptions to that, but they are mainly books added when I have been experimenting with what I want to do, or testing this plugin.

I also use the Reading List plugin to manage lists of books plus the status. The status is more than just the three above. It include things like "cleaning" and "cleaned" for books that I needed to edit.

That might cover some of what you want. Or, have I missed it completely.
