I imagine transporting a lot of books - especially overseas - would be rather a hassle and would take up too much room in your luggage. Have you thought about making lists of what's where when you're at your mum's/nan's/boyfriend's? Would probably take a while but then you'd be able to refer back.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02068135640413650969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286833942649943693.post-26005770450520087402016-06-12T12:51:50.785+01:002016-06-12T12:51:50.785+01:00I don't think you can own too many books, espe...I don't think you can own too many books, especially when they make you so happy! Also re: the ebooks vs physical copy dilemma, yes, it's cheaper to buy ebooks but they offer nowhere near the satisfaction than an actual book sitting on your shelf/floor/bedside table. You can't lend ebooks, which is another big thing for me.<br /><br />It's hard for me to say how many books I own, because my books are dotted around all over the globe; some are kept at my mum's house, some are in storage at my nan's house, I have my own shelf in my boyfriend's house, and then with my in Germany I have a few too. Then there's all the Kindle books I have. It's frustrating not having them all in one place, especially because this sometimes leads to me buying multiple copies of a book so I can continue reading it or whatever.

I see reading and buying books as one of the least harmful ways of spending money: it supports publishers and bookstores and can help you learn new things.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02068135640413650969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286833942649943693.post-5497355398974153022016-05-30T16:15:08.213+01:002016-05-30T16:15:08.213+01:00I don't think that you can own too many books!...I don't think that you can own too many books! I get so annoyed when people shame others for the amount of books they have because I don't understand why someone else should be involved in what another person does with their money. I'm so glad that you posted this and showed another side! I'm planning on doing a post similar to this soon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01781828287211529221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286833942649943693.post-11163757506774896062016-05-28T13:45:56.560+01:002016-05-28T13:45:56.560+01:00I think anything in triple digits is a lot to be h...I think anything in triple digits is a lot to be honest! But if it's something you're passionate about and it isn't hurting anyone then why not treat yourself?

I don't think there is such thing as too many books though. It's your money and as long as it doesn't put you in debt, I believe you should be able to use it however you so please.Sierra @ The Nerdgirl Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14988689551994156529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286833942649943693.post-20650170029091618332016-05-27T14:18:12.074+01:002016-05-27T14:18:12.074+01:00Too many books...

I don't see how it differs from people who collect coins and stamps etc. I'm lucky in that my mum is also a big reader and has her own collection - that no longer fits on her bookcases!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02068135640413650969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286833942649943693.post-51345010049055574992016-05-27T12:32:10.516+01:002016-05-27T12:32:10.516+01:00There's no such thing as owning too many books...There's no such thing as owning too many books! I think I own around 150 books (maybe more), and I'm so proud of my collection. Granted, I do have very big shelves and quite a big bedroom to put my books in, so I won't be running out of room. My mum often says "you have way too many books" but I could never agree, haha.

I've also gotten really into the library so I don't often buy books anymore. paperbackprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446601964387517150noreply@blogger.com
