Anybody else having issues with bookshelves? All my shelves are in the sidebar, but no books show up in list view. In grid view I can see a single column.

I’ve been thinking about something that doesn’t seem quite right with the Goodreads Reading Challenge.

This year I read a 7-book series that was published as a single Kindle omnibus edition. Goodreads credited me with one book because that’s how it was packaged.

If I had purchased the exact same seven novels individually, my Reading Challenge would show seven books.

My reading accomplishment didn’t change. Only the publisher’s packaging did.

It made me wonder what the Reading Challenge is actually measuring:

Books read?
Editions read?
Or products purchased?

I’d love to see Goodreads track reading in a more meaningful way, such as:

📚 Books completed (individual works)
📄 Pages read
⏱️** Reading time or reading strea**k (optional)

Or, at the very least, let readers choose whether an omnibus counts as one edition or as the individual books it contains.

Am I overthinking this, or would you like to see Goodreads change how it counts omnibus editions?
