How Many books do you own????

I have over 300 hundred.  Not all romance books lol.  DH has said not all but some must go, so I have been having to sort through all these books that I have deemed keepers and reread frequently. 

just in romance i have over 2,000 books. i keep a running inventory on the computer so i don't re-buy. plus a modest collection of science fiction/ fantasy of about 200 . plus history text books about 100 +, plus misc others. this does not  include my daughters' book collection. plus the library is a frequent stop for the girls. what can i say , i am a bookaholic.

The last time I counted, I had between 100-150 books.  And I am adding to my collection all the time :).

I have  a couple hundred at least.  I have one big bookcase that is completely overflowing, and other books scattered all over my house.  They're not all romance novels though, I love vampire novels and Stephen King too.

I did have over 1,000 romance novels but have less now. I donated some of them away. I kept the books that I like the most and would read again if I had the time. I recently bought 6 more books so I am increasing again. I scour the internet looking for books all the time.

I have a bookshelf that is full with other books as well. I love history so have lots of those, some science fiction, dictionaries, and other reference books. I actually have three books from childhood still....Hedi, Little Women, and a book of fairytales.

I am lucky that my husband likes to read as well so he find me having so many books not much of a problem but wishes I would have them in one place.

I have another bookshelf that holds nothing but cookbooks. Does craft books count too? LOL, if so I have a lot of those too!

Ok, I am officially a bookworm!

where do you keep them all?  mine are in my closet until we can get some bookshelves but at some point we're gonna have to build me a library.  i don't know how many i have but i'm guessing around a hundred.

i haven't counted but i have over 100 in my PBS account and alot more scattered over my house . on back of doors and in bookcases there is more on the floor i haven't cataloged yet and 50 more coming from ebay that i bought from a reader that just gave them to me for shipping. so is that luck or what.. everytime i have moved i have given away and donated thousands  now i have an outlet to my books. the library doesn't want them unless they are new. i don't buy new i get them from ebay amazon or thriftbook.com ....kathy

I have 455 books.. I keep track of them on Shelfari

They're all over my house... on bookcases, stacked on the floor, on tables.. my husband and I love books.

i have too many to count.  I think I gave up counting when i hit 700!  I've got lots of romance, mystery, thrillers and lots of non-fiction too. 
My dh is convinced when the 'big one' hits us here in WA, we won't have a chance of survival because all the books will topple over our heads and block all exits.  :)  such a wonderful picture he paints!
Seriously though, i tried to use Shelfari to keep track but now that's become more of a 'what I've read and what I want to read' place instead of a 'what I've got' list of books!
I'm a hopeless cause.... but i love it!

I have a little over 200 romance novels, and about 100 "other" books.  My husband will kill me if i get one more.  I have to keep them out of his site.  So mostly they are in the dresser drawers......lol
