Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I've been manually adding many books that I'd like to read to my library, and each time I have to uncheck the "post to feed" checkbox. This is rather annoying, and there's no clear way to change the default.

Describe the solution you'd like I want to configure which automatic events appear on my feed.

Describe alternatives you've considered I can't think of any alternatives...

Research direction
Investigate the current behavior of the 'post to feed' checkbox in the add book form. Identify where the default value is set (likely in the model or form). Explore existing user settings models to see if there's a pattern for storing user preferences. Consider adding a new user setting for default feed posting behavior and modifying the form to use that default.
