Re: how many books do you own?

Post by ALomb »

I must admit I still have resource books/textbooks from my college Elementary Education classes. I do not own many books myself because (pre-Covid) I would go to the library often. The largest collection of books I own is for my classroom libraries. Since there is such a range with ability level, my library consists of picture books or basic readers and then (of course) scales up to 5th grade level. I will find new books for my students in a heartbeat!!

Books are pricy in the Philippines. So I can only afford books available in Book sales. And there are not much book sales in the PH. So maybe less than 50...

I have about 50 books in paper or hardback. I've read tons of more books online but I've only bought I want to say between 10-15. I don't have a huge library of books but it is growing, and it's at the point where people look at me and are like, "I only have one." Lol.

I own way too many, definitly past 100, which is why I got a kindle instead. So much less stressful than having to figure out where to put a book after you've finished reading it (especially if you didn't really like the book so much :eusa-think: )

Oh my! I have so many I don't even know where to start counting! I'm actually going to sell some of my books that I don't read anymore. I have a large box full already! I have several large shelfs full of books!

Never thought to count them.
Maybe about a hundred, give or take.

currently, around 20 books, both paper and electronic books. I've owned lot of books. But I've read much books than those I've once and still own. Because, I've borrowed people some of my books who never return them.

I've lost my list but I do know I have over 50+ books. I honestly think I would have a lot more if I started reading (Like I am now) back in middle/high school.
