Not enough! At present a couple of a hundred considering two and half bookcases. But always ready to make room for more :)

At last count it was around 325 but that's been a few years. I've started making a log of all the books that I own so I suppose that I'll find out soon enough how many there are!

827 books in my bedroom, and significantly more all boxed up. There is never enough space for books! I am waiting for another shipment to come in on Amazon, which will top up the collection, though!

Oh gawd, I don't dare count. There are about 100 sitting on my lone bookshelf, but I have several boxes more sitting in my closet. And there are the Kindle versions I have on my Amazon account, though nobody actually "owns" those, do they?

It's been a few years but at last count it was over 750. Some are hard cover and some are paper back. Love books. Not sure how many I have on my e-readers. I go back and forth on reading a physical book to the e-reader.

I guess I don't know. But I have a book shelf and a good amount of books my dad have entrusted me. Which I plan to pass on to my child.
Maybe can count them all and I'll post it soon. ?
