Hi, wondering how people deal with books of short stories for various challenges... Do you treat it as a single book or each story separately? Reading 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Six Other Stories' by Fitzgerald currently and not sure which way to go with it. Also doing A-Z settings, favorite things, and other challenges. Thanks :)
I usually treat short story collections as a single book. Sometimes it can be difficult to select which challenge it completes, but I just choose the best fit and move on to the next book.
