How many books do you have cataloged in your LibraryThing account? How do you decide what to include- everything you have, everything you’ve read- and are there things you leave off?
I’ve got 1010 books in my LT account right now, with one on the way from Amazon. I have too many books for the room I still live in in my parents’ house. Luckily I am getting married and moving out next year, so I should be able to spread them out once I have my own place. Up until very recently, I only included books I physically owned. Then I decided that eventually LT was going to come out with a collections feature, so I added borrowed books as well. There are so few of them that it’s not worth having another account for them, honestly. I also keep books I’ve given away to preserve ratings and recommendations, but there are only a few of those as well. I do not include wishlist books that I haven’t read, I have a separate account for those. So basically the books in my library are those that I have read and those that I own.
Ha! When you have more room for books, you will just somehow get more books. They really do expand to fill the space. OH and I moved to a 4 bedroom house, just the 2 of us, still managed to fill it full of stuff and what isn’t computers is books, books, books!
Good luck though!
I agree with LyzzyBee, your stuff will start multiplying and before you know it you’ll either need a dumpster or a bigger house!
I def have too many books for my room as well! Lol I feel like moving to a bigger room will just give me an excuse to buy more.
Oh, I’m not doubting we’ll acquire many more, but at least we’ll have space for a little while!
I nearly fell off my chair then… I read the number as 10,000 to start with!
I haven’t got room for my books, I can’t have them out at the moment so they’re in boxes at the bottom of my bed. I long for a place of my own with perhaps a library… ok I’m going to go away now and dream for a while.
More room means more books.
I don’t think the fire department would take issue with my book collection, but if I’m not careful, it could become a problem down the road. Haha
