We only have one bookcase and we don't even read those books. I keep slowly getting rid of mine, but DH refuses to get rid of his. If I'm not going to read them, they need to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331884 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 14:09:11 +0000 MaisyMay 331884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hundreds! I keep sorting through and giving books away but they keep growing! We literally have stacks of books all over our apartment. I use paperback swap to get rid of some, donate, all sorts of things. The problem is that I read too fast. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331602 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 11:42:37 +0000 JerricaBenton 331602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thousands for sure. I love books. Sometimes I even buy a book I've taken out of the library because I love it so much and want to own it. I worked in publishing for a time after college so I amassed quite a collection during that time, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331601 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 11:42:28 +0000 ladyfingers 331601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We pared down a lot when we moved, then some more this weekend because we had to make room on the bookcase for some cubes to hold board games and other things that didn't have a home. We have a 4x4 expedit and it's about 75% filled with books. Then I have a few in our bedroom. So maybe around 100? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331591 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 11:38:55 +0000 chopsuey 331591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like 3? :P donated all of my law books recently </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331541 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 11:06:21 +0000 Honeybee 331541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have... 10-12 bookcases full? I inherited some, bought a bunch, and DH owns a ton, too. Our dream house will have it's own library. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331536 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 11:03:29 +0000 mrsjyw 331536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too many to count! At least 4-5 bookcases worth </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331510 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:50:26 +0000 wheres_c 331510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got rid of about 500 when I moved in with SO.<br /> Between us we probably have 4 tall bookcases full. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331477 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:32:21 +0000 Arden 331477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thousands. </p> <p>Everything else I own (clothes, shoes, decor items, etc) will fit into 2-4 suitcases, but my books require a huge crate. </p> <p>When we move overseas, we take everything BUT the books in our checked luggage, and then the books require a crate to be shipped by sea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331468 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:26:53 +0000 Bookish 331468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never counted, but it's at least 200-300. I'm a HUGE reader. We've got a giant IKEA bookshelf in the foyer, and bookcases in 2 of the 3 bedrooms. I can't get rid of them, because I love to re-read books. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331454 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:23:43 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 331454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a lot! 3 tall bookshelves in the basement, boxes in the attic and two bookcases in my office. We love to read! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331445 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:16:18 +0000 Mrs. Pen 331445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>quite a bit... I have this thing against throwing books away. They've been in boxes for years though, I told DH I want to buy a bookcase for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331407 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:50:54 +0000 CATWOMAN 331407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 large bookcases worth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331397 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:46:58 +0000 Adira 331397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm... we have one tall bookcase that's overflowing, plus four short ones. And books piling up on top of bookcases, coffee table, dining table... Probably not thousands like @Andrea, but hundreds, certainly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331387 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:42:27 +0000 Alivoo01 331387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have quite a few at my parent's house. At my own home, we might have half a bookshelf worth? I miss having the luxury of just reading for leisure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331336 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:21:10 +0000 Andrea 331336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thousands and thousands! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331332 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:19:32 +0000 mediagirl 331332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 2 tall bookshelves full of them. Sadly, my husband doesn't read books so it's just my books. I have donated a lot recently, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331326 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:17:42 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 331326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have like 10 physical books, but DH has tons! He was part of this book club for a while and they sent him books every month! They are all classic books in a really nice hardcover though, so at least they look pretty on the shelf. DH only got a couple of chapters into Moby Dick, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331315 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:12:45 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 331315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea!

Every time I come home with a physical book he rolls his eyes and says we have a kindle you know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-physical-books-do-you-own#post-331289 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 08:58:11 +0000 mrbee 331289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have way too many... maybe 6 or 7 bookcases worth. Doesn't really work for city living!</p> <p>How many physical books do you own? </p>
