[jhakka]

Bumpness.

Seriously need to update my list. Would probably have almost 20 to add to that.

 

[fnkychk]

I must be the only person who loves reading but hates having books hanging around. I borrow from the library, and if I buy a book I always sell it or give it to the Salvos or something. My book collection of favourites has about 10 items.

 

[Ellie-Bee]

I don't own heaps personally but my parents own MASSES of books. I just grab some when I go home!

 

[Nashie]

And I have a heap more that have since come out of storage... Lets just say I have 2 wall mounted bookshelves (totalling about 4m in length, with 2 shelves in each one), a small bookshelf on the floor and a hutch on my desk which is all shelves.
I ran out of space and have taken over a bookshelf in the lounge room too. :rofl:
