Question for those on Goodreads

kalmte214 · September 2013

On Goodreads, I am doing the reading challenge to read 50 books in 2013. Do you count rereads in this? This is obviously not a big deal, but I'm curious. I reread 1 or 2 series each year (::ahem:: Harry Potter and Outlander), so there are potentionally 14 books that haven't been counted toward my total since I've read them previously.

I count rereads. Why not?

Nanna · September 2013

I count re-reads.

Ash61612 · September 2013

I have a question to go with this....how do you enter a re-read? Change the date you read it again but lose the original read date?

Yup. This is why I have yearly and monthly shelves, too.

RevJen · September 2013

I don't count rereads

Ditto. I count rereads (HP every year) but I have separate yearly shelves so that I can still remember what I read in previous years.

I count rereads, too.

Raeily · September 2013

This is how I count them, but I may add yearly shelves too, that's a good idea.

EliStar · September 2013

I count re-reads. I change the date read, but I also have yearly shelves so I know when I originally read it.

brownbear590 · September 2013

I don't count re-reads, but that's only because it gives me an excuse to try reading something different.

Young_Love · September 2013

I do count re-reads, but I refuse to change my original read date on GR, so those don't count in my yearly total on there. (I put them on my yearly shelf, though.)

fabk · September 2013

Ditto others. I count re-reads and use yesrly shelves.

sweetrhythms · September 2013

yep. I started putting a note as to when I read it in my review. I don't do that many re-reads though...

Ash61612 · September 2013

thanks for the advice on counting re-reads on GR everyone!

jkfranklin · September 2013

I don't count rereads but I mostly do my rereads as audiobooks and and don't pay as much attention to them.

Super_Librarian · September 2013

I count rereads. I just add it as a different edition of the book so I can give it a different date read. Then my rereads can count toward my current challenge goal.

cnthrdlywt2bwZ · September 2013

I figure it's how I spent my time, so I count them.

kayash · September 2013

I don't understand why you wouldn't count rereads...you're still reading a book right?

So that's me saying yes, I count them.

eta - I do change the date read so that it shows in my goal tracker thing but I have yearly boards too so they're always listed on each year I've read them.

LaBellaVita23 · September 2013

I don't count them because I don't update the date read. I do update the Goodreads feature that asks how many times I've read this book though.

I like the idea of having yearly shelves but I don't want my Goodreads too cluttered. Plus I've re-read books in the same year so yearly shelves still wouldn't solve my problem of accurately tracking them so I just don't.

ETA: I'm not against counting them. If I kept track in an Excel spreadsheet or something other than Goodreads, I would absolutely count them.

ThisModernLove · September 2013

I count mine and change the date read section. If I'm spending time reading the book, then I count it read in that year as well.

PhoenixRising11 · September 2013

I count a reread the first time I read it in the year. So if I reread a book in January and then again in December, I only count it once for the year.

I keep a shelf for each year as well.

duxcaelo · September 2013

I count them and keep them on two shelves- reread and the annual shelf. I update the dates read in the comments.

aggiebug · September 2013

Its amazing how complex keeping track of books read can be :o3

I rarely reread but if I do I count it for my yearly total. I do wish GR would allow you to add dates read for a reread not just total times read.

PhoenixRising11 · September 2013

I count a reread the first time I read it in the year. So if I reread a book in January and then again in December, I only count it once for the year.
