how many books do you own?

[Nhorhata]

some were borrowed and never returned thats why i only have 36 books

[Iamsofia]

26 to be precise. Counted all my books before writing my comment

Do you only count physical books? I may have one hundred physical books . However I own two e-readers which both have over a thousand books apiece.

I don't know exactly, I never counted them but I have around 150+ in my house, most of them are my father's though but I own around 30+ and I'm buying more lately.

649 books haha

I only have about 50 books. Although I would love to keep them all, I have really transitioned to digital and there are so many new books all the time, I know most of my books will never get reread. I love to share books with others so I give the ones I recommend most to friends. My aunt and I, between the two of us, had about 30 storage containers full of books that we recently donated to a local book store. I can't imagine how many I would have if I bought and kept every one I ever read or planned to read. My husband on the other hand wants every book in a beautiful hardback copy displayed on his bookshelf. Fortunately he has only managed to accumulate two bookshelves full of books. I had to cut him off of Amazon! Reading can be an expensive hobby unless you know where to go for free copies or unlimited monthly access. I am a huge fan of Kindle Unlimited and my local library's Cloud Reader.

I, honestly, have lost count now. I am a hoarder. Particularly, of books.

Does that include the ones I have 'lent' out and given to charity to make space on the shelves for more? I do try and pass on the one I don't think I will read again and I don't like clutter so I do this regularly. I also beleive in sharings them so others get the benefit of them. But.... my all time favorites and my special reference books that I hold onto dearly. If I had to put a number on it, right now probably about 250, excluding said 'loaned out' books so let's triple that!

I have a number of books like 50 but I read mostly in the public library, kindle and from friends.

I have no clue...hundreds for sure...maybe around 1,000. The problem is that my husband and I are world travelers who move to a new country every year. This means that my library is spread out a bit, unfortunately. I've got loads of books being housed by family in the States, a good many being cared for by friends in Paris and a couple hundred currently with me in Colombia. Someday, my goal is to get my library all in one place!

[SparklesonPages]

Yikes, I own far too many to count. One of my kindles has 200 books plus printed books may be in the range of 250-300 I would average.

I'm not sure how many ebooks I have, but I have three totes full of books from when I was in college. I was working towards being a teacher, so I began filling totes with books for my classroom library. Unfortunately, I had a really hard time with my student teaching and chose to switch my major to Interdisciplinary Studies. I keep adding books too, not just children's books, but manga and graphic novels as well.

I’m almost frightened to count how many books I’ve got and am actually just about to embark on a mission to sort out my books and give the ones I’ve read to friends and family and charity shops. I really don’t like to get rid of books but they are taking over the house! I’ve got hundreds.

[KLafser]

Oh my, what a question.... I don't even know, I have books in all rooms on shelves and such, and more in the basement in boxes. I've recently begun a personal campaign to purge many and those are on their way to the senior center for re-use

[Cori Nichols]

Right now I think that I have several thousand on kindle. I have probably around 100 books in print. While I love the look of print books, I love my kindle. I am on my third kindle and second Kindle fire 7. I still have my first Kindle Fire 7 but I upgraded and gave my husband my older one.
