3. Where or how do you store your books? Bookshelves with some rogue books throughout the apartment.
4. Do you borrow or buy books? Mostly buy. But borrow some.
5. Paperback or hardback? Paperback
6. Do you keep track of the books you read? Yep. In multiple places.

1. How many books do you own? Just counted it, around 150 with my books from college (no dictionairies and no bible either) 125 without the studybooks. 2. How many books do you want? hmm.. don't know.. I don't really care actually... 3. Where or how do you store your books? On bookshelves. 4. Do you borrow or buy books? Recently I bought more, because the new library is sucky, but I'm gonna try to borrow more, since I shouldn't be spending so much money on it 5. Paperback or hardback? Paperback 6. Do you keep track of the books you read? Yes, I keep it on paper and online (facebook apps) 7. Do you lend books to other people? no, I'd rather not. I like my books to stay nice and wrinkle free and you never know how someone else treats it. 8. Have you ever not finished a book? Off course. 9. How many books do you read at once? One, it works better for me to read one at a time.

1) How many books do you own? Probably around 200 or so. At least last summer that's about how many I had.
2) How many books do you want? That's hard to say because more good ones keep coming!
3) Where do you store your books? I have only one shelf, but I've started rows in front of the back rows since I have nowhere else to put them.
4) Do you borrow or buy books? I realized books are something I spend much of my little money on, so I have tried to not buy many. I use the library now (easy since I work there), but I buy ones that are important to me. I have bought only 2 in 2009
5) Paperback or hardback? As long as it stays together, I'm good (meaning a huge book should probably not be a paperback)
6) Do you keep track of the books you read? For the past 4 years I have. Thanks to Microsoft Excel, it's pretty easy.
7) Do you lend books to other people? I'm hesitant if I don't really know them that well. But my Twilight series has been in the hands of at least6-7 people and aren't falling apart yet.
8) Have you ever not finished a book? Yes, but not often.
9)How many books do you read at once? One, unless a second is for school/RBC.
