I don't really have quite a huge amount of collection since it's only around 30, but I always try to find a way to read new books every week. And by finding a way I met my best friend who is also an avid reader. I didn't become frienda to use her we actually became friends through the power of anime. And eventually we learned we had a lot of things in common and became best friends.

I personally own 82 books at the moment but I seem to keep adding numbers every time I gain a paycheck.

Hundreds! It would probably take me forever to count. I have bookshelves in my room and in other rooms of the house and I've lent out so many books that I can't remember where some of my books have gone.

I have around 35 books. I mostly read books in amazon kindle so no burden of carrying or managing hard covers but wish to have a reader's corner with shelves .Started reading after leaving my full time job.

I used to have hundreds of physical books but when I moved I donated a lot of them. Now I probably own about 50 physical books...not including the hundreds I download on my Kindle of course!

I have hundreds of books! They are on several bookcases in my home, as well as several boxes in storage! I tried to pare them down the last time I moved, but just can't part with most of them.

Last time I counted I was at 452, but since then I've purchased a few more. I'm probably around 500 right now... and I'm running out of space! 😂

Besides religious texts I own less than 20 ebooks and I only own 1 in print, (a signed copy of Magic Triumphs, by Ilona Andrews). Most of my books come from my public library's Overdrive catalog. The ones I do buy from Kobo, I read and then delete. I very rarely re-read books and once I'm done with a book I don't feel the need to have it on hand anymore.

Well... I have a lots of books . Maybe over 50 . I don't always buy books, I borrow them from my school library and my friends. I've majorly fiction and comedy but I also psychological books. I have my own bookcase but it isn't enough for all of my books so I keep the rest of them in a huge bag.
