Unfortunately, less than 200. But I'm building my library, so I'm hoping for a few hundreds in a few years :)

Earlier I had a collection of about 400 books but I have now reduced them and kept only the selected ones and still I am having about 150 of them.

Latest Review: Killing Abel by Michael Tieman

Post by Sara Scott »

When I was a kid, I wanted to have a library like Belle did in the Beast's castle. After moving a few times, though, I ditched that dream. Thank goodness for apps and e-readers! Now, my collection is quite small. Friends and family will often gift me books. After I read them, I stick them on a shelf until someone asks for a recommendation or sees something they like. My physical collection now stands at a meager 35 books.

Most of my books are e-books but I own around 3 books that are physical. I plan on expanding my library anyway.

Maybe 30-40 if we're counting only physical copies. If we're including e-books, it would be at least a hundred.
