Do you count manga and gaphic novel in your yearly challenge?

I very rarely read them, but, since I wanted to continue some series of when I was a kid, I may do this year. I have decided I will count three manga volumes as 1 book, because the ones I'm interested in are fairly short, it takes me just 2 hours to finish a volume (main reason why I stopped buying them, I spent so much money on something so quick).

I had never read graphic novels before, but I got my hands on some this year, and I'm very indesicive about how I should count them. On one end, they often have as many pages as a book. On the other hand, they have very very few words. I had thought of counting two as 1 book, but I'm not sure that will do. I will read so few I might just read 2/3 in the entire year. Plus, I want all the stories I read to show up at the end of the year, and, while mangas often come in series and if I say I read Hanako-kun number 3 people would assume I read the first two as well, my graphic novels are stan alone, and I don't want to have to choose which ones should appear and which ones shouldn't.

With this post I don't want to shame anyone. If you count 1 manga volume just as much as 1 book, that's fine, same for graphic novels. That is none of my business and it is stupid to consider it cheating. in fact, I do count very short books, like 80 pages, the same as I do longer ones. The limit I set on graphic novels/manga is completely arbitrary and based on my opinion, which shouldn't influence anybody else. The challenge should be a personal stake to encourage yourself to read more than you usually would. My goal in asking this is just to take inspiration from what other people do and take a decision.

I'm soo excited to be apart of this awesome community of bookish ppl! I love to read. U will find that I will always have my kindle w me at all times cause I'm always reading 😆 🤣. I love reading : Thriller ♡ psychological Thriller ♡ Suspense ♡ Romantasy ♡ Fantasy ♡ Dark Romance ♡ Horror ♡ Medieval ♡ Viking Romance ♡ Historical Romance.

Okay, okay. I'm curious. Do you count multi books as one book or each book within? Like I got the chronicles of Narnia in one. Or the complete works of Jane Austen as one.

Is that considered one book or all of the books?

Did anyone manage to read at all this weekend? I am making my way through and trying to finish The Great Witches Baking Show series by Nancy Warren and also am continuing my manga/Manhwa kick as well but didn't feel like I could do much reading or relax (had family over to celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday). Planning to mostly relax and pick up something- audiobook, ebook, or paperback. What is everyone else reading this weekend?

Let it be known that this book is all for eating a tomato like an apple.

"And this year's offering had been different - the tomatoes came in huge and vibrant, fire-engine red, so good you could take a bite of them like an apple, devouring one after the other with just a pinch of salt across the top."

So, best at this to the Tomato War list 😂

since they mentioned clark grew up in manchester I'm just hearing him as jamie tartt in my head

So I've been on this app for a few days now and I'm really enjoying it so far, but I've noticed a few things: -No number of pages on the book profile. I'm wondering whether I missed this somewhere or if it just isn't a feature (though I'd be interested to know the reason for that🤔).

-Books that you re-read don't count for the yearly reading challenge. I don't really get fussy about stuff like that, but It really should count since you're reading that book again, learning new things and remembering what you've forgotten. Especially since I like to re-read books when a significant amount of time has passed. In my opinion it should totally count!😌 I do love a lot of the features this app has and would love to see it flourish even more!

Can someone suggest me a book about cults or something similar? I gor intrestwd in the theme as of lately but I can't find solid choices. I'd prefer if it was fiction and with horror or thriller vibes and please don't say Bunny by Mona Awad.

How do I make my list visible to public/or so a friend can see?
