Counting collections/anthologies volumes as more than one book
Mar 4, 2021
Option to count large books that are a collection of series as multiple books towards the yearly reading challenge. For example, Douglas Adam’s ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide - A Trilogy in Five Parts’ could be counted as 5 books instead of 1

Yes! I bought a couple "Complete Collection of X" e-books when they went on sale and have been putting them off in favour of books where my effort will be better reflected in my reading goal.
Yes to all of this! I have the ebook of The Last Lion - it's a three volume Winston Churchill biography. Each volume is around 1,000 pages, so the ebook is 3,000 pages and is counted as one book!
It would also be nice if we could individually review each book in the collection rather than the collection as a whole and then that group of reviews would be averaged for the collection as a whole.
Yes, I encountered this reading the 'Aya' series. Six individual comics were bundled into 2 collections.
