Description
### Problem
Dear developers,
Can you please make it possible to select a bunch of books from one of my book lists (ideally in infinite scroll view, without pagination), and then bulk-move them to another one of my lists?
This feature would be helpful when I have a more general book list, for example, "Biographies", and want to split it into specialized lists: Writers' Biographies", "Entrepreneurs' Biographies", "Politicians' Biographies".
Thank you for considering my suggestion.
### Proposal & Constraints
### Is there a precedent of this approach succeeding elsewhere?
File manager apps have offered similar features for decades.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the book-list interface and existing list actions; done means users can select multiple books, including in an infinite-scroll view, and move them to another list.
