Went to visit my friend who lives in England, came back with a large suitcase full of books. Also had a shoulder bag and that was full of books too. I didn't count them but my guess is that the number was quite high.

On amazon when I get a holiday gift card? Up to fifty. In a chain bookstore like Barnes and Noble? Maybe one. Most often none. In a used bookstore? Usually 10+ If there is a reasonable price even if I am reading three books at a time I am uncontrollable!

In a retail store, probably 5 and only that many because I had a giftcard to help with the cost. Thrift stores? Close to 20 since they were all under $1 so I just snapped up anything that looked interesting or was by someone I'd been meaning to try anyway.

At a regular book store I would say 4 books for myself. Every year our city library sells off copies of books that they have purged for whatever reason and my record number was 43 books. At $5 per bag I look forward to these sales every year. Let’s hope I can break my record this year !
