I hit my 50 target, I've actually read a lot more than that though as I don't count the sort of trashy stuff that you just consume to take your mind off things, or re-reads. I'll go for 50 again this year I think. On my to read list for 2021 so far:

The Institute - Stephen King
Troy - Stephen Fry
Big Sky - Kate Atkinson

Not sure any of mine would count if I didn’t include those!

I count rereads if they're not already in my Goodreads and a book is a book to me.

I've got that Dorothy Koomson to read. I need to actually start something as I haven't read anything for a few weeks now.
If your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it.

I finished and enjoyed The Guest List. Thought the story built quite nicely.

Same! I included a few Quick Reads to get to my target, but do sometimes read them anyway. I'd count re-reads if they weren't already in GoodReads.

Well not counting is mainly because I don't want other people to know some of the shit I read.

I found Goodreads a bit of a pain - I probably wasn't using it properly, but it seemed inordinately difficult to confirm I'd finished a book, as far as I remember.

I just have an excel spreadsheet, which is mid-range technical.

I used to have a spreadsheet, 2008 onwards, but Goodreads is OK. It’s quicker to check in bookshops.
