I have about 70 books. I still get excited when I get a new book and it has that new book smell in the pages. Working on creating my own small library. One day

I just started out on my book collection. 34 books so far and all magic tree house and mystery. My daughter son and I love to read together. It's so relaxing on a rainy day if we have yadayada to do. I love when we get so far into a book and can not quit reading. I'm beginning to think I'm a shopaholic when it comes to bookstores. Especially books a million!!!

Too many. Four bookshelves that are packed, with piles of books kind of just hanging out all over my house. Trying to use my library, instead of buying books.

If we are just talking about actual books, I have about 75. That is just chapter books though. Now if you add in ebooks, well that number is much higher then!

Well, I packed 22 Uhual book boxes full of my books to move...and then of course bought more over my birthday and collected a few more in between....so at least a couple of hundred? Not nearly enough, haha. That library from Beauty and the Beast, that's what I'm waiting to live in ^-^

Several. It's hard to keep track as some are with friends and don't get returned.

I have not counted the. In quite a while, but at last count, I had around 450 books for teens and up, and around 230 children's books. At the time of the last count, I only had one large bookshelf and one small one. Now there are 3 large bookshelves in my house and all are just about filled to capacity.

Maybe 200-300? My room has a bookcase and I have a massive extra deep, extra wide bookcase at my parent's house. Then there's a tonne of Kindle books I own too...

Currently I only have about a hundred, but I recently donated most of my books so I could buy some new ones.

Somewhere between 200-300, not counting the ones on my phone.
