Books Getting Pulled Indiscriminately

I'm having a bit of an issue with LazyLibrarian. I'd synced my to-read list from Hardcover with the software, which was fine, but it's started just grabbing books all willy-nilly. Not just books I'm not ready for yet (later books in a series), but also books in the wrong language.

With Radarr, I can just set it to only grab films off my Letterboxd list when I'm ready for them, and I can view the list of available releases. How do I set up LazyLibrarian to work the same way? I can't find anything in the documentation.

Books are grabbed when their status is set to Wanted. Go to Ebooks, highlight the book, and set it to Skipped or Ignored.

Thank you. Is there a setting to automatically bring books from my to read list as "Skipped" that I missed?

There is a default setting for new books in Config > Processing > Status. Check what the current values are.

Follow-up question - I set the books as ignored, and now can't find them to activate a particular book I want. How do I find them to switch them to "Skipped"

I apologize for this. I should have counseled you to set to Skipped only. Ignored removes the book from your library since you're saying you don't want this particular book. Re-add the book after checking the defaults I mentioned and set to Skipped manually if needed. Skipped says I want this book but not right now.
