No problem, Den, I've had the same thing happen to me!
One question, you have dates after the titles of your books, and I was wondering if you finished them on those dates?

✔️16. Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race (2016 Goodreads nominee/History & Bio)
✔️17. Huntress (2018 Lambda Literary Award/Lesbian Mystery)
✔️18. The Plague of Doves (2009 Pulitzer finalist/Fiction)
Progress: 18/15
(Claire, I'll still be reading a few more award-winners this month, but without changing my challenge goal)

They really look wonderful, once I've read them all, LOL
It's been a pleasure to participate in this magnificient challenge, thanks!

I will check back periodically to see if anyone else has updated. I'll be happy to add updates, even if they're late (I'm still going to try to read my last book, if it's ever available at my library. It must be good, because it's always checked out!)
