I have got the stage where I am now re-reading a number of books.
I have created a new calibre library and have copied the books I've re-read to it and have changed the 'date read' column.

When I added a re-read book through the Goodreads Sync plugin, I expected it to create a duplicate entry of the book or to add the new date to the existing record on Goodreads; but what it did was change the original date read to the re-read date which is not ideal.
As Terisa has mentioned, this is probably an issue with the API and Goodreads overall. But, I would have said it did this already.

I just tested this with a finished book. I used the "Add to shelf" to add the book to the "currently-reading" shelf. When I checked on GR, the reading progress of the book showed it was reading and had been added to the shelf today. I then used the progress update to change it to 50% finished. Then I use "Add to shelf" to put it on the "read" shelf. GR is showing this plus the dates for when I read it the first time (well, probably second or third time, but GR wasn't around then).

That seems to work. How are you doing it?
