No, not really, but I’m not sure what you would be “counting” them for anyway. Unless you happen to be like under 10 years old, it’s not like you’re going to have a book quota or get some prize for each book you read. But I would expect if someone tells me that they have read a book then I would expect to be able to talk freely with them about any part of the book.

You have yearly book goals on Goodreads

Are those compulsory? You can chose to reach those quotas or choose to just enjoy your reading. Of course, just enjoying isn’t really quantifiable.

Nothing compulsory. Goodreads just gives you the option to enter a number of books as a goal, and it auto-updates as you enter new books as read. I tried this feature for the first time and I thought it was pretty cool, but I reached my goal in March...

It made me read more than usual, which was fun.

This is still an arbitrary goal, and if there were a prize attached, then you can bet I'm lying if it looks like I'd otherwise come up short lol.
