I own 60 books of 60 different writers. I like to read books of different authors its quite fun because each writer has their own style of writing and it fascinates me every time

Currently I have about 4 paperback books. I also own a few digital copies. I used to own dozens of paperback books and I've given nearly all of them away or donated them because I just don't have the room anymore to keep them. I check out books more than I purchase. If I really enjoy the book, I'll purchase either a digital copy or hard copy, whichever is available and for a great price.

them away for others to read too and I have no space

I have between 150 to 200 hard copy books. If I were to include eBooks I would have too many to count.

I have somewhere over 300. I keep a notebook with mine listed too lol but I haven't been keeping up with it for probably the last year? I moved fairly recently and there's no bookshelves here so they're all still in the boxes I moved them in piled on top of the bed in the spare room. :lol2: I can't even tell you how many ebooks I probably have though. I don't even look before I get one. I only keep track of the physical copies of books I own.

I have about 10 physical books since I recently moved to a new country. I have hundreds if not thousands ebooks. I collect daily. I usually give my physical books away or donate them to the library.

Oh wow, i lost count after I carted two suitcases, a holdall and 10 mail sacks into the loft. Forget the bookcases, the stash under the bed, under the pillow, on the night stand, in the kitchen, on loan... :oops: :lol:
