I own a lot of books. I would say that I have about a small library of my own.

A lot. I normally don't keep count, but I think the number qualifies for a small library. This makes me feel guilty a lot as I've been trying to spend less on books and put aside some money for savings, but every time I go into a bookshop, I kind of... let loose and lose track of my account.

I own around 100 books and 50 audiobooks. However, I haven't finished reading all of them :oops: :oops:

I sometimes go on a buying spree and buy more than one book before I even finish the ones I am reading.

Already feeling intimidated by the amount of books you people are posting to have read, Looking at my bookshelf it feel scanty :cry2: .

Didnt even break a sweat to count them, fairly above 20, but hope ain't lost.

Very good topic, I currently own 200 books (been keeping track.) I love my book collection, but I believe I might go donate the to my local shelter. Yes I love my classics, but someone might need them a little bit more than me.

I envy those people who could buy books as much as they please. In my case, I've only managed to own at least more than 5 books, but still less than 10 in total. But trust me, I've read a lot more than what I own.

I don't think the books I own are more than 20. But the few I do have are the ones that have had such profound impact in my life and I tend to read over and over with time. So as you may imagine, they're quite worn! But I love reading, so I use the library alot for the rest of the books, or borrow from friends.

I have, probably more than 20 books on my shelves and I've given most of my old ones to charities. I've been skimping out these days tho, in favour of Wattpad and other ebooks.
