Describe the Feature/Enhancement

I'd greatly appreciate more organizational features for ABS. A couple of ideas would be rating books 0-5 stars, and being able to sort by books with certain ratings. It would be good to be able to share those rating across uses as well, so I could see user1's top books, or an average across all users for consistently high rated books, and rating from other services (e.g. audible).

I'd also love a simple checkbox option for series that makes a series as "ongoing", and can be filtered, so I can periodically check back on series that were marked ongoing to see if there have been new releases. It would be even better if ABS could crawl through book providers (audible, libro.fm) and notify the users that a new book has been released in series you're tracking (repurpose the checkbox), providers should also be able to be toggled to prevent notifications if the book is only available from a source you do not wish to purchase through. If automation is handled in this way, an inversion setting would be nice, notify all books by default - but have an exclude from tracking checkbox.

Why would this be helpful?

Gain the ability to filter by ratings of friends or external sources, as well as look back through great books for a re-listen or to find book series you wish see if a new release has dropped.
Organize books by on-going series to periodically check up on, or have this automate to notify users of new releases on various platforms.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Ratings section in metadata

Rating option in first filter dropdown, opens to ascending / descending - or by number of stars.

Preview of current user's rating under each book (setting to toggle this off, or change which rating is shown (average, what user, or what provider)

Tracking/ongoing Checkbox in each series, as well as each book's metadata, clicking any checkbox will toggle the series' checkbox (so it's one click across books in the same series as well as the series tab).

New per-user setting to handle push notifications by app, and a new UI element in the top right for the notification list.
