@smmorris: What you describe is pretty much what I found. I don't usually see this problem because I do add the book to the currently-reading shelf when I start reading a book. And I add it to other shelves at the same time.

So, the workaround for this bug in the Goodreads API is to add it to the currently-reading shelf before adding it to the read shelf. But, I really don't like the idea of doing this in the plugin. It would mean checking if the book is already on the currently-reading shelf before adding it. That's ugly.

I'll do some more experiments as I have time. Maybe I'll see another way.
