Hi,

Thanks to quality of Royal Road as platform and great authors publishing here I've been introduced to hundreds of new stories in genres I've never encountered before.

Problem
With 115 Follows and number of books already finished it can be quite strenuous to get to keep track of the reading list. My numbers are novice when compared to follow counts of other users and I can't imagine trying to find that chapter from 3 weeks ago that I skipped at a time while following 200+ stories.

Add this point splitting books only between Followed, Favourite and Read Later categories is insufficient, especially as both following and adding to favourites is common way of showing support. This leaves effectively two categories in user library.

Proposition
Allow all users to create book collections from fictions in their library. There should be toggle to allow collection to be private\public and another to have collection link\button featured on the profile page, profile dropdown, overview, bookshelf, below user avatar on site and forums.

Collections feature would allow users to create and showcase variety of books grouping them themes, genre, tag, authos, chapter length and frequency, etc.

Minimum Viable Functionality
Bookshelf -> Collections
  - Create New Collection
    Methods: mark cover tumbnails, search bookshelf\RR, add to collection button on currently existing book listings
  -  Rename Collection
  - Toggle Private\Public
  - Delete collection
Layout:
  - Text-based alphabetical or curated list of collection
  - List in form of banners\forum signatures with Collection Name overlayed\on top of graphical background (either OPTION 1 preset templates covering common genres\tags or OPTION 2 automatically generated using book covers)

Convenient Features:
  - Suggest based on tags\author\genre from library\RR
  - Suggest based on chapter length\frequency
  - Showcase collection as forum signature
  - For banner Option 2, add little trackers for last read chapter and number of unread chapters
  - Dynamically create collection based on preset criteria like search presets
  - Ability to Like/Rep collections
