I haven't counted, but I have 5 bookshelves full. And then a few hundred saved on my e-reader.

I have a few books on the shelf as well as my gadget and it's probably still in the dozens. But I'll never hesitate to add a thousand more books again and again.

I own more than 50 books. I love buying and reading books and some books I borrow from the library.

Over the years, I have read so many books. But the majority of them were borrowed. However, I have been able to acquire a good number of books for myself. In the meantime, I have about 15 books.

I've borrowed a lot of books from my friends. However, I own about 30-40 books.

Most of the books that I read, I borrowed from the library. It's not really because I am such a cheapskate, but because I don't have my own money yet. My mom is teacher language arts teacher though and she owns close to 200 books in her library.

We catalog to cut back on buying duplicates. This makes it easy to know how many we have. Right now we are at over 5000. We have many friends who would call that small!

I used to own 150+ but ended up selling most of them because they were Czech editions and I now read English and also because I moved to Portugal so it was good time to leave that collection behind and only bring books I would actually read in future. I started building new collection here and I just reached 100 too. Still have some books home that will eventually join in.

I already started personal challenge to only buy book after I read 4 from my bookshelf. I was buying books too fast and have only 24% of my physical books read.

I am honestly not sure but I think i have around 200 physical books in my flat, and a few hundred e-books. I’m buying new books all the time and i donate a considerable amount, space is a limiting factor.

Once I read a book, I generally pass it on, so I don't have many. The only ones I keep are the ones that I want to refer back to later for advice or how-to.
