Duplicate books on Challenges?

If I read an indie author, for example, it's going on both the Indie Challenge list and the Serious Readers list. If it also counts for something else I sign up for, I'll put it there, too. :)
Thanks! There are a few challenges I wanted to do but if I couldn't duplicate then I had to decide what order to do the challenges!BB

What Galla said. Obviously we don't duplicate books within the same challenge but counting them in other challenges is allowed (and encouraged!). Can you imagine if we had to read 1 new book for every single challenge? I don't think anyone would ever achieve much (myself included).
I'd curl up in a ball and weep if I couldn't duplicate books for all the challenges I sign up for.
I try to duplicate as much as possible because I have so many books to finish each month, it makes it a little easier.
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one to duplicate books. I kind of felt like I was cheating :-P. Challenges to me are just a fun way to track my books, so duplications are helpful, especially since I'm addicted to challenges and feel like I need to be a part of almost all of them.
If the moderators had said no duplication, I think I would have cried. I can't imagine not being able to duplicate, especially for the harder letters. So, if everyone's doing it, I don't even have to feel guilty about doing it too, right?
I cross-contaminate all the time. Or I wouldn't join so many challenges. To me that's part of the fun-seeing how many challenges I can fit one book into.
