Unbookening Month 9: The Great Library Meltdown

3 books gotten on Bookmooch
9 books checked out of the library
10 books received for review
Bought 4 books (including, Elizabeth, my very own copy of TOO TOO SOLID FLESH to review)
Received 2 books from my mom (THE ELEGANCE OF THE HEDGEHOG and WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKTHROUGH)
= 30 books in.

3 books given away on BookMooch
17 books returned to the library
Gave 7 books away
= 27 books out.

Hey, it's all right: I forecast November will be a big month for giving books away, as I stay in a bit more and try to save money for holiday fun.

The other books I bought, by the way, were Michelle Goodman's THE ANTI 9-TO-5 GUIDE and her follow-up, MY SO-CALLED FREELANCE LIFE as well as STATE BY STATE.
