Shouldn't it be 25 here because 3 short books = 1 point each = 3
One long book at 2 points = 2
3+2+20 = 25

Yikes, sorry. I copy and pasted wrong.
I need to add one more word to the last book to complete the 5 :)

see above Post #13. Is it okay if I update it?

thanks!

Yes, but in future, can you just make a new post saying something like: I forgot to add this word/I have an updated page count.
Don't worry for today though.
