Whoops - my math was really off - which is why I use a spreadsheet for the challenge itself! Bad things can happen when I try to add up numbers.
At this point, looks like it will be over 100 books, but not necessarily as high as 130! I think that the winter challenge was the biggest one we had had up to that point, and this one should be bigger than that.
