you can have multiple ListProperty Entities per User, all in the same
entity group. When you query, it will return a key if, say, the BOOK
is in any of the associated lists.  This is how I handle it. If one
list approaches 5000 entries, I just spawn a new related list and
start filling it instead.

I really recommend you watch this I/O presentation closely. It
basically spells out how to do this (better than I could hope to
explain)
