This week’s topic:

How many books do you own (keepers) and how many are in your to-be-read pile? Feel free to include pictures!

Oh gosh. How many books do I own? This is a difficult one to answer because I have piles upon piles packed away in my garage. I have bunches tucked away in my wardrobe. And I have two little shelves next to my bed. Overflowing. I swear I’m like a book magnet.

According to my stats on Goodreads, I have 500+ books in my to-reads list. Currently 122 of those I claim ownership of, although I certainly haven’t got all of my books on Goodreads. Unfortunately that number includes the random books I know I own and want to re-read, not just the stuff I can physically see. I am waiting until I move to a bigger place and can shelve them all to add everything I own to Goodreads, so those stats aren’t entirely accurate.

Currently on my little bedside table, which is dedicated entirely to the books I want to read next, I have this many:

Bitterblue (Graceling Realm #3) by Kristen Cashore

Arise (Hereafter #2) by Tara Hudson

Insurgent (Divergent #2) by Veronica Roth

Spark (Sky Chasers #2) by Amy Kathleen Ryan

Shut Out by Kody Keplinger

Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken

Witchstruck by Victoria Lamb

The bad thing? This is stuff I’ve only bought this year.

The other bad thing? Each of these books makes me so excited that I can never choose which one to read next, and often end up reading a library book or an e-book, which doesn’t help my situation.
