How big is your stash of books??? - Page 2

I now have over 200 books on my Kindle and about 50 hard & paperback books waiting to be read. Wow, when I type it out like this my stash seems excessive!

Books are the one indulgence I feel zero guilt over.

It is still large; but less so since I got a kindle paperwhite. I try to buy used books now if available. If I can't find one I want used,I get it on kindle. Every so often I do a purge and donate the books. I keep the signed books,series that I know I will read again,and lots of child good favorites ( Laura Ingalls Wilder,Nancy Drew,etc). It is so nice to free up space in my home with the Paperwhite.

Love books, and yes, I do have a kindle. But the book feels better in my hands. Of course I have too many.. and am wondering how to get rid of some without regret. Perhaps I could find someone to just come in and take away. Probably would never know what was missing.

I do have cookbooks that I never use. I go to the Internet. I do have HOW TO Books and I also go to the Internet. Easier to find and more current. Oh well, I will get around to it.

If I get a recipe off the internet and I like it, I'll put it in my kindle app on my phone.

Between 3,000 - 4,000. Still working on reading them all. ☺

@GCR18, To me, anyone who shares or donates a book has a kind & generous heart! 🙂

Oh my gosh! They're all over the downstairs closet! I read series and order three at a time from Amazon or find them at the used book club.

In the spring I gathered up what I had read and took them to the used book store! I made $20.00 just for parking the car!

When I moved from my house to an apartment, I gave away several hundred books. But now, as I add to my collection (there are certain authors whose entire output I need to own), I probably have around 300 books that I've never read.

I love reading, and I want to master my lists!

Before I got my Nook I had lots of books. I always had a stack next to my bed and became panicked if it got low! I now have only 7 in my Nook with another 5 or so I'm thinking of sampling. My actual physical book pile is only two and that is because a friend gave them to me. The past few months I have begun trying new authors and I'm having fun with that. My newest one is going to be Harlan Coben. Happy reading everyone!!
