Unbookening Month 6: Hmm, That Didn't Work

3 books gotten on Bookmooch
16 books checked out of the library
6 books received for review
Borrowed 4 books from home
Got one book as a present (ALL WE EVER WANTED WAS EVERYTHING)
Bought 1 book
= 31 books in.

9 books given away on BookMooch
14 books returned to the library
Gave away 5 books
Lent 1 book (THE BRIEF WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO, to my mom)
= 29 books out.

Two notes on this month:
1. Now that Nick Hornby has retired his "What I'm Reading" column for The Believer, maybe I should switch to his format of books bought/ books read. Of course, that would defeat the purpose of trying to get books out of my house and telling the Internet what a failure I am at said getting.
2. This blog is now the first and only Google search result for "Ainslie Copper."
