I came across a very weird data-loss glitch:

I wanted to remove a large amount, think a few hundred, books (fanfiction oneshots) from my goal. I selected them all, then used 'remove from goal', but it said it only removed 50 (which is the amount I have from this year).

I used 'Remove From Reading Goal' on a few books confirmed to be still on the list, but it said no books removed. So I opened Edit Reading Goal and removed one of the books to see if that worked.

But now when I open Edit Reading Goal, it selects all my pre-2023 books on the list and tells me that they can't be added to the list. I have autoadd disabled.

I tried re-adding the books to that year but no books were added and I still see them in the json file. A lot of the 2023 books are missing from the json though.

EDIT: The db itself is bugged - moving the json out to let it regenerate work. I can send it to you if you want to look at it.

ANOTHER EDIT: I was able to restore some of the entries by manually reconstructing them from the bugged json and another backup from a few days ago. (Some still have missing entries, sadly, I guess I should start taking separate daily backups of the json.)
