Calendar View Wrap-Up Can Only Show One Book A Day

So.. I sometimes finish multiple books a day, and what happens in the calendar view is that I either only see a teeny tiny line of the second book, or 1/3rd of it if the other one has a square cover. (Example attached). I totally understand that you couldn’t fit 10 books in a square… but two might be nice… or some other solution where they are not awkwardly layered on top of each other?

The design was fully intentional after experimenting with a range of styles and wanting everyone to have a one page graphic, no matter how many books they read in a month. Rather than the covers being visible, it's meant to more give the visual image of a stack, with the ordered key illuminating what the specific books were. However, I will revisit this at some point and see what the options are. But this wasn't an afterthought — us knowing full well that several people finish several books in one day — but something that was at forefront of the development process.

Maybe there could be another icon for number of books finished. There is the open book one for number of pages read, so maybe a closed book icon for a number of books finished.
