For a school assignment when the kids were in grade school we counted all the books in our house. The result was close to 4000. That’s a lot but this included hundreds of picture books that the kids eventually grew out of and were given away. We’re down to less than half that now and some of our bookshelves look depressingly empty.
Wow, taking inventory sounds like quite the undertaking at your house!
Don’t worry, it’ll build up again when you have grandchildren.
Oh dear. Now you’re making me want to count. Though I know there are over a thousand e-books on our joint Kindle account.
I fear the counting. I did a good purge a couple of years ago but need to do so much more!
