The Eighth Month of the Great Unbookening
5 books gotten on Bookmooch (I am ashamed. I know.)
17 books checked out of the library
12 books received for review
Bought 1 book (AMERICAN WIFE)
Received 1 book as a gift (KILL YOUR FRIENDS)
= 36 books in.
6 books given away on BookMooch
17 books returned to the library
Gave 9 books away
= 32 books out.
4 more books in than out, even though I skipped the Housing Works book fair. (Lisa, I swear to you, I would have been completely helpless.) Yikes. And I just bought four books online (which I haven't received yet). Looks like I'm going to have to start reading full-time; anyone want to sponsor me in that endeavor?
My goal was to get down to 3 library books. Right now I have 11 out... which is not great, but better at least. And I only added one book to my list of holds, which -- like all the others -- looks to be a long time coming.
