Wondering if someone can check this for me, it is easy and I am curious, but I haven't installed Tahoe yet.

Open the "Books" app. Go to Settings. Uncheck the box for "Enable Reading Goals".
Now wait until the next day and go into the Books app again. Is "Enable Reading Goals" checked again?

It's a common problem that you can't permanently turn off this setting. Some background daemon thing is running to sync book progress (even if you don't have the Books app open) and it keeps turning reading goals back on.

I saw someone mention that they have fixed a long-standing App Store setting where the "Ratings & Reviews" popup option would keep turning itself back on, so that got me wondering if maybe they also fixed this one.
