Hi Janice,
I realized I was on the wrong book count, and I had used the number 27 twice, so I had to go back to my post #165 and change the numbers. They are correct now. I knew I had read 36 books for this part of the challenge so I checked and double- and triple-checked, and finally found the mistake in my numbering!

Math never was my thing - lol lol lol!

I show 36 books as well.
