Should I start counting my weeks from:

Wednesday, January 1st to Tuesday, January 7th
or
Sunday, December 29th to Saturday, January 4th

Sunday to Saturday is easier to track, but Wednesday to Tuesday is more "correct". Either way I get 52 weeks therefore 52 books read.

[this is x-posted on my 2014 thread @ GoodReads]
I think I'm with @DrNefario on this one. As long as you read (at least) 52 books next year (this was my challenge this year, actually) then surely the start and end of the week doesn't really matter? If you really plan on reading one a week, then finish it in two days, would you have to wait until the start of the next week before being able to read your next book ?
