The Seventh Month of the Great Unbookening
5 books gotten on Bookmooch
13 books checked out of the library
11 books received for review
Bought 2 books
= 31 books in.
2 books given away on BookMooch (1 was already listed before August, 1 I listed because I thought it would be vaguely insulting to give someone a book about personal finance, unsolicited)
10 books returned to the library
21 books into the giveaway box
Gave 2 books to my mom
Returned 1 book to my dad
Lent 1 book to my roommate
= 36 books out.
Five more books out than in.
My goal for September, besides staying in negative numbers, is to get my stack of library books down to 3 titles. (I have 10 out right now with one on hold and one in transit.)
Also in an unbookening: The Writer's Coin made a list of all the unread books in the house. I fear if I did that it might actually break the Internet. (Via Bookish on a Budget)
