Musing Mondays (Oct.25)

October 25, 2010

This week’s musing asks…

About how many books (roughly) would you say you own? (If you don’t have a clue how many, do you care to know? Why, or why not?)

Thanks to cataloguing my books using LibraryThing.com, I know that I currently have about 1067 books. I say “about” because I may have forgotten to catalogue a couple. And, yes, this includes my new haul from the Library Book Sale.

Actually, the number may not be fully accurate due to the fact that I think I’ve given a few of the books away to goodwill… and have forgotten to pull them out of my online database.

But, it’s close, anyway. ;)

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your answer in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks! :D

  3. My book count would require waaay more time than I have LOL plus it would alert hubs to how much $ I’m spending on my lovely habit :) I try to read a book every week and I’m getting older LOL so they’re adding up, plus there are weeks I make it through 3 or 4 instead, but this week I’m reading a funny pararom series I never knew I’d love – I think its the dog :) I just posted about this one today its Angie Fox http://blog.juliealindsey.com/ Thanks for sharing your book count, makes me feel like I’m in good company!

  15. I have no clue! I don’t know if I want to know. Why? Um, I need a room just for them and they are so eclectic I wouldn’t know where to begin explaining them to people. There’s a story behind them all but, um, well, I can’t seem to part with them either. :)

  16. Oh gosh…the books I have are books I need to be. Roughly. I have a range of 20 to ..I wanna say 40. I could have more. I’m not sure…I would have to literally count my books.

Please be patient if your comment doesn't show up right away... I will 'release' it as soon as I can. Thanks for your thoughts! ~MizB
