Hi Shreya
Please don't forget to tell me your current progress in the form of a fraction as explained in Post #2 of this challenge thread.
I only track everyone's progress in one place, but everyone does their own math. 😉

Progress: 9/26

I actually read 19 books from 15 authors in January, but it's only 9 different letters. I'm sticking with using just surnames for now, though I may revisit that policy if I still have gaps at the end of the year, lol.
