Do people forget which books they've read? If there's something I haven't finished, the sense of incompletion stays with me forever.

Yes. I believe they would not recognise them by cover but would think "crap I've read this before" when getting to a certain part of the plot.
Can't speak to OP's mom's experience, but I've heard of avid romance novel readers losing track of all the books they've read.
