Last year, I made a goal to read at least 50 books and keep track of what I read. As I had two intensive literature classes last year, it was not difficult to reach my goal. So, this year, I made the same goal. I don't have any literature classes this year, so this will be a more accurate count of how much I read in a year. As with last year, I will not count books I start but do not finish and picture books I read for story time.

Sounds like a pretty awesome goal to me. Although, I would include picture books and Vogue magazine (it's big enough to be a book!)
If I read Vogue, I totally would count that... it IS big enough to be a book. I read a LOT of picture books for work (3-5, twice a day, five days a week), so it doesn't seem fair to count those.
