Touchy subject for me! 4, but effectively 2. I bought two, going to a lot of trouble to make sure I could get two more later that were *identical*. Bought two more later that were wrong, sent them back, two more came, still wrong… still waiting for the right ones. Meanwhile I have two large bookcases I’m not using because I don’t want to have to unload them when the correct ones come.

2, one medium size and 1 small. I’m more of a library person and I don’t hang on to that many books I have already read and own. It may change as I’m starting to collect some Penguin Drop Caps and Penguin Modern Classics.

About fourteen. Having to thin down to thirteen though due to a new sofa from friends. Very nice for reading on this sofa. There are five of us though and the cat used to live above a bookshop.

I have one smaller bookcase in each of my kids’ rooms plus one in their play room and one in the living room, so that’s…4.

My books are not on traditional bookshelves, they are in my bed. My bed has a built in bookcase in the headboard that fits all my mass market paperbacks, then giant storage drawers built into the bed frame currently hold about 250 books and I could probably fit another 75-100 books in there without overloading it, and then I’ll get a bookshelf for me ?

One big one and two smaller ones in the living room (plus now slowly taking over the DVD shelf – much to DH’s disapproval ?). Also one medium shelf in the loft for “overflow”.

6 – two are full wall on opposite ends of the same room where we once home schooled; plus there is one that is 8 feet long and over 4 feet tall in the dining room; and one is 10 feet long and nearly 5 feet tall in my office; and there are two others that are merely 6-footers. Love my books!
