Question: I recently edited a novel (it was published today through Amazon). Can I count that on my “read books” list since I read it a few times for editing?

I would say yes. I mean you even said you read it multiple times for editing purposes

I wouldn’t even say that a book necessarily needs to be published at all for you to add it to your list. The whole point of a personal list is for you to list significant literature that you’ve read, not to compare and contrast with other people. It’s a written collection of what you’ve consumed. I even include significant children’s books I’ve read.
