To ask how many books you have waiting to be read

[19990party]

I have about 50 but stilll buy more

Over 50. Nearly all are on kindle and nearly all are 99p kindle deals. I like having a selection to hand when I’ve finished reading a book.

About 80 on my TBR shelves but that includes some I'm never going to read that I will get rid of at some point when I need the shelf space. About another 100 on my Amazon wishlist that gets used by my family at Christmas and by me when I visit bookshops (my local Waterstones like me, they say most people use the bookshop to add to their wishlist whereas I use my wishlist to decide what to buy in bookshops).

I like to have a good selection of books to choose from when I need a new book, would hate to have too small a TBR pile. What if there was another pandemic? Other people stock toilet paper and tinned peaches, I stock books for emergencies.

I have 1067 on my want to read list. Not sure how many of them I actually own. I have 31 from the library!

Only 1 at the moment which actually makes me feel a bit panicky! I will finish it in about 3 days and then I won't have anything to read.....

Maybe around 20 physical books and around 100 on my kindle.

I'm quite a slow reader and only get through a book or two a month.

Around 30. My area is very lentil weavy and people are always leaving books on their front wall for others to take. I work in a charity shop too and walk past the library to get there so I am never short of something to read. Once read, books go to friends or on the shelf at the shop.

I'm really pleased to know 30 is a comparatively low number!

~700 books, ~300 computer games to play, maybe 50 craft projects i'd like to do, 70+ items on the would love to do in the house one day (things like cataloguing my physical books!). I have lots of free books and games, hence the numbers!

Shantaram does have the best opening line ever though.

Tsunduko is my word of the year.

Currently over 400 in my ‘to be read’ folder on my kindle.

added so many freeclassics and 99p books Ito my kindle library - will get around to them all eventually I hope!

I think 4. I used to buy books a lot but Ive started uni as well as work FT. So I go to the library instead and tend to read a book every couple of weeks. I gave a lot of my old books away and felt so much better having more space

I've just read it. There's a lot in that sentence!

Somewhere between 6 and 10. One fewer than yesterday though, because I've just started a new one. I read at least 3 books a fortnight, sometimes 3 in a week. My house is overrun with books and I need to take loads to a charity shop or 10.

I really wish I could get on with a Kindle or similar, but I don't. I miss the heft, the feel and the smell of an actual book, and reading on a screen just feels like work.

Too many to count! But mainly because DH brings 'proper' books into the house and I always want to read them after he has finished

Do you not have a partner? I know I'd read lots more if I didn't have a partner to give attention to in the evening. I'd definitely be reading before bed every night. Good on you for getting so much reading done. I only have slight envy. :-)

None really. I read all the time on my kindle, constantly buying new ones and always read them straightaway.

I have just seen two more books on the side table that I started reading ages ago and never got around to finishing, so make that 2 and 3 halves still to read.

I do, but he's away for work 4 months at a time. I also have 2 kids & a full time job. It's just about how you choose to spend your time, I guess.

I can read a book in one sitting too, but I don't often have the luxury of having enough spare time in which to do it!

Can't read in bed though. I can't seem to be able to get in the right position to read comfortably. I used to read in the bath sometimes though.

About 200+ physical and Kindle.

I then discovered Spotify podcasts and so I have hundreds of those to listen to 😳😂

My preferred way of reading is Audible as I can multitask and take notes. I'm quite stressed though at the moment so mainly am mindlessly scrolling.

I do find so much more time when my DH is away, but he's not away that much, so that makes a big difference. Makes sense now.

I've got 15 in my TBR pile . . . one is a reread and all the rest are new

I'm trying to declutter my books as I'm planning on moving to a retirement flat but I'm struggling to get rid of many. I was in the charity shop last week, saw a book I knew I would love them realised I had donated it a few days earlier . . . 😂

notsosimplehere I have a husband and still read voraciously ...we catch up when we get home and over dinner.

An hour of my reading time is next to him on the sofa whilst he watches Netflix (I sometimes wear ear defenders so I don't have to listen to it!) then the rest of my reading time is in bed next to him.

He's usually on his phone whilst I read in bed.

I was just coming to say that! I have about 1000 on my Kindle (thanks, 99p daily sale) and probably 300 real books.
I still re-read old favourites.

I read very fast and can easily read a book a day if I get the chance, but I have found that my concentration levels have dropped since the advent of social media.
