I have no idea! If I were to count all my books it would probably take two hours. Most of my books are on shelves in my room and there are others in my living room. I also have a Nook so there are quite a few books on there.

I love books and I don't think I will be able to count all of them. They are everywhere surrounding my room.

For many years, I kept ever book that I bought. I always loaned out my books,but wanted them back. I got tired of finding a place for them,and finally donated all of them. Now, I use my iPad as a reader.

Several thousand. I probably need some sort of rehab by now. I just can't seem to stop.

Thousands of books. I LOVE all of them, and can only bear to get rid of a couple, so I am swamped with books!

I have a near constant backlog of 150 books which is constantly stocked with new options in my various wishlists. At this point, i would think an honest 400 or more is reasonable.

I have stopped collecting paper books since I discovered I can borrow e-books from my library. If I love the book I will go back and buy it later- but that limits my collection. I would say about 100 books are owned in hard copy. About 15 more as e-books.

Man truckloads! There is something nice about walking into a house full of books. I can't bear to get rid of any!
