I own over 400 on just my nook. It would be fair to say that I have roughly the same amount in my storage unit in tubs as well. Someday I hope to have a real home where I can have a library of my own with a fireplace, cozy chair and afghan to snuggle up with a good read.

I have thousands. I keep lots of them on shelves, but many of them are stacked in plastic tubs around my room.

Thousands and thousands seems to occur quite a bit on here. We all must have quite the combined collection!

I just love this question. I can only guess. Hundreds. Books are everywhere in my home. They are similar to photographs in that they all have memories. Favorites will catch my eye, I'll try to recall everything I can about the story, when i read it last, what was going on in my life at the time etc. Am I the only one who picks one up and often has to read a little to jog my memory and then BOOM it all comes back to mind?

I have at least 200 physical books. I stopped buying them and bought an ereader because it was getting kinda outrageous! I have at least
600 books on my ereader.
