If I could have an entire library in my house, it would be a dream come true. Although I do not have a room dedicated to just books, lol, I do have three bookshelves with a total near 150. I dont like to trade in books because I often re-read them but I do need more dpace for my growing collection.

I actually just counted the other day! I have 183 as of now, but I am sure that number will grow in the next week or 2.

I practically lost count. Hundreds? I never really counted.
Most times, I fall flat on my face. But never do I remain on the floor; I rise again.

I'm starting to feel like buying most of the books in a closing down library was overkill. Most I've seen other people is a couple hundred and I have thousands.
Through books, I have lived not just one life but thousands.

Too many and yet never enough. :) Around a hundred or so in paperback plus too many to count in digital format. Ordering new books and searching for hidden gems is addictive, you can never stop on buying just one book.

I've quite a lot, more than a hundred. Really like reading and buying books. Sometimes I also want to reread them all over again.
Because if you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward.

I don't have many books, I just have 1 small bookshelves as it's just me in my family who is very much willing to splurged on books.

But I'm proud its 50+ books all owned by me. And I am super proud that I got 1 completed series books by my favorite author Sabrina Jeffires.
