Wow! You're the bookworm!

Did you read them all or did you just let worms crawl on them? 🤤 geeez... ✌

Kidding aside, which genre do you like?
Science Fiction and Fantasy, mostly.
Are all your books at home in those specific genres only?
No, I have a wide variety. I've got a lot of romance books, and a lot of classics, and also a lot of YA.

😍 Romance is my favourite genre too.

Did you buy them all? What made you collect them? Are all your family members into reading? Here I go again with my inquisitiveness. 😷

I imagine your house like a library where all of you are reading. No room for noise. 😃

All my family members are into reading as well. My mom is a teacher, so she always encouraged reading. I like to have my own copies of my favorite books, and I've bought a lot used or really cheap at yard sales.

Aha! Great idea! Books generally cost high specially hardbound.

When I was young, I usually look at all the pictures in books first. If a picture catches my attention, that's when I start reading about it. 😄

I have a very huge collection of mostly unread books. My library just got bigger because I also brought my grandparents' books to my house after they passed away and they were also avid readers

I counted 134, but I did not count my children's book collection. I have at least 300 of those.

I own around 50 "real" books. I have an insane amount of ebooks. I subscribed to a few newsletters that would send daily emails about Kindle ebooks that were free that day and I went a little crazy. I'm still subscribed, but I'm a lot more selective, haha.
