Well, my grand total as of right now is... *drumroll* 769 books. In 2012 I gained 142 books. This year I gained 153. I thought I was doing better at curbing my habits this year...Just updated my library spreadsheet for the first time since midsummer...
I have 616 books now. (And I'm pretty sure, based on the fact that I wanted to have at least 500 by January 1st of 2012, that I've gotten, and hopefully didn't buy all of, at least 100 books this year... Oops.)
The sad part is that I keep track of where in my room I keep them so I can find them faster, and I've had to resort to putting many of them in a location called the "where-the-fuck-do-I-put-you?" corner.
I'm afraid to see how many of those I still haven't read yet...
ETA: This time last year:
Oh dear...Wrote an English essay, added a mysterious purple squirrel to my statistics assignment, started a health presentation but decided to put all of my books in a spreadsheet instead... Apparently I own 474 books, and I've read all but 137 of them... Not bad. Not a very productive weekend, though...
ETA2: Okay, I couldn't help myself and I looked to see how many I still have to read... 239. Okay, that's not too bad... I was imagining a much bigger number... It's only a little more than a third of all of my books...
Welcome, thedark!
Sounds like you got a tremendous amount of work done in a single month. If you haven't explored the Share Your Work forums yet, you might want to have a look there and see if giving the critters a go at what you've written might be useful.
Keep us posted on your progress!
