Others have already asked if you're specifically referring to calibre, so I'll focus my response on other methods for tracking books one has read.

1. Goodreads is my primary method of keeping track of books I've read (as well as books I am currently reading, that I want to read, and that I have abandoned and don't plan to finish). LibraryThing is a similar, popular resource.

2. FictFact (now defunct) was another popular resource for tracking one's progress reading fiction series as well as for receiving alerts when next-in-series books were released. Alas, that resource was shuttered in May 2019, and IMHO, its competitors pale in comparison. Here's a link to search results for "fictfact alternatives".

3. Some public libraries have features that allow patrons to track their borrowing history from that library system as well as to create to-read lists. Worldcat also has a list-making feature. (I don't use those resources, though, because I borrow and buy books from a variety of sources and find it easier to track them all in one place.)
