I got like 5 paperbacks (or less? I misplaced some of them :( ) but got loads of ecopies, usually fantasy books (cause you know, who doesn't like and keep ebooks). :)

I've close to 400 books, no paperback because I just cant, with physically carrying them whenever I want to read and the lack of space for them. I did start with paperback though. I haven't read around 50 of the 400 books, so my new year's resolution is to finish reading my library.

I think I have about 120 physical books! But I have many e-books. Not sure how many e-books I have.

I have at least 5 hardbound books on Health and Home. At least 10 softbound copies are from book sales. My ebook library has at least 3,000 files in it. I accumulated my collection over a decade.

The last time I counted I had more than 250 books, but it has definitely gone up from there.

Looks at bookshelf #1, bookshelf #2, bookshelf #3, and the three piles stacked precariously on random surfaces. Are you really going to make me count?

Probably too many. I have some that I haven't moved out of storage because there's just no room for them.

I don't really know because I had a lot. But whenever my friends tell me about projects they start to help poor schools I give whatever books I have already read. That makes me happy rather than keeping them to myself.

I have somewhere around 700-800, counting academic journals, magazines, Manga, American comics at three different locations. I'd have more if I didn't have to get rid of some and leave my BOTM orders at a precious residence so I could fit everything in my car to move!
