Ashley Brown (asarabaenre) I just recently was digging through my bookshelves and came across my old Animorphs collection. Now I have a problem. I want to reread them all. All 50 or 60-odd of them. I know I can do it no problem because when I first re-read them (a few years back) I was averaging two or three of them per day. But here is my dilemma:

If I do re-read them, should I even count them toward my 100-books-this-year goal? My logic goes in loops because first I think that they're so small that I'd feel I was cheating to count them all, but then another thought pops up and says "But they ARE books, and who am I to say they aren't 'good enough' to be counted among my 100 books this year simply because they're smaller than the ginormous fantasy tomes you're reading now!?" ...

Er... Fellow book-lovers... Help?

Elle (louiselesley) I personally think it's your choice what should count towards your goal. It's your personal goal and others should have no say what goes in it.

Same goes for people who don't add certain reads to their goal- your choice!

Christie Rich | 335 comments I agree with Elle. You are the one that needs to decide what to count. It's your goal, so you will know if you reached it :)

Brandy Nacole (brandynacole) | 173 comments I agree with Elle and Christie but if your still undecided just split it up. You said there were 60 book total? Well count 30 of them toward your goal. That way you could count those books and still leave the challenge open for yourself.
