Do unabridged omnibus editions count as one book or three for this goal? My library has a couple of 3-in-1 books in the YA/Fantasy catagory that I’m planning on reading when I’m done with the current crop of books I’m reading. Should I count it as 3 books towards my goal or just 1?
Thoughts anybody? 3 weeks ago

I’ve read 33 books towards this goal. My problem with that is that it counts everything towards that goal. Children’s books and things like that. By my count I’ve read closer to 25 books so far. Not too bad. A quarter of my goal completed in a quarter of the year. Going to have to keep it up. 1 month ago

So far this year I’ve read 18 books that I’m counting towards this goal. I’m not counting the comic books I’ve read or the children’s books either, like my Shelfari account does. Only the novels and complete trade paperbacks/graphic novels are going on the list. I don’t know if I’ll hit the goal of a full 100 or not, but I’m hopeful. 2 months ago

This was a good goal because it sounded nice. But it was not practical in my life. I do not have enough free time to do this. I can’t finish all the projects I start if I read this much. I have read a lot over the past year. Even though I didn’t record them, I probably read about 45 books. I am going to add a similar goal for the next year. The goal will be in number of books read, or in pages read. Overall, it will be both more specific and less words. 20 months ago
