I have a dilemma about how to count a book for the series challenge. I've just finished Stories of the Raksura, Volume 2: The Dead City & The Dark Earth (The Books of the Raksura #0.3; 3.4; 3.5; 3.7; 3.8). It contains 5 different short stories, each with their own number in the series. The book itself isn't given an individual number. It seems to me I should be able to claim it somehow, but adding all 5 numbers to get a total of 14.7 doesn't seem reasonable. Should I choose one number from the list? Perhaps 3.5, since it's in the middle, and also I'm more likely to be able to find another .5 to add to it than any of the other numbers. Or is there a better way to come up with a number to use?

The issue will come up again when I read another Wells' collection of Raksura stories, Stories of the Raksura, Volume 1: The Falling World & The Tale of Indigo and Cloud (The Books of the Raksura #0.1; 0.2; 0.4; 3.6).

If my generated list didn't contain any 9's, and I just read a book that's #27 in its series, is there any way it can count? I need lots of 8's.
Am I allowed to use a #1 book and do 9-1=8?
Could I apply the 2 and the 7 to two different books?
Or anything else?
