How many books do you own that you haven't read (yet)?

I've decided not to buy any books for a year and am currently going through
my bookshelves to see which books I still haven't read.

I'm not even halfway through and have already found enough for a year of reading. Please tell me I'm not alone in this...

My kindle ones are all cheapy deals and ones that I would give to charity shops if I had read them. I keep looking at them all and need to read more MN less.

How can you physically have a book and not read it??
I could not bear that.

125 - I fear I have more than that. I'm currently at 45 but I'm not even halfway through my books.

And I don't even have a kindle - mistyegg do you buy more books on the kindle because it's so easy to do ? Or would you buy just as many paperbacks ?

About 50 on Kindle and 20 real books

FiveGoMadInDorset · 23/08/2014 20:11

50ish books and 140 on the kindle

Around 125, and still I buy more Blush. I could get through them in a couple of years if I went on a total booking-buying ban!

I have 4 pages of unread books on my Kindle as well as about 10-15 paperbacks - they are all ones I want to read but just haven't got round to yet...

I keep getting hooked into either MN threads of books I'd like to read as well or just browsing on Amazon and getting moreBlush
