Of the physical books I've read maybe 1000. I've DNF maybe 5-10. My husband has read all but 100 of the books many if them more than once.
Of the kindle books I've read about 500. I've DNF 20?

I own 500+ ebooks on my PC out which I have read almost more than 200!!


I own around 300 ebooks and have only read 40 of them...
(I can't resist the temptation of a free ebook)

I own a lot of books, but I haven't read them all and I keep buying more books so my TBR keeps GROWING!! :)

So no new books for me until i catch up on most of them.

I have read maybe 30% of all my physical books.
I keep buying books, today I bought nine.. 7 physical and 2 ebooks.. Oops


Helps prevent reading ruts though :)

The problem lies in what is described as read? As I do a lot of historical research some of the books have had only one or two chapters read out of them as they were all that I required of that book, e.g. specific history of a military regiment from a "Complete History of the ? Army"
I have 1,147 Kindle, Kobo, Project Guggenheim etc. titles (the vast majority free) in my tablet and in the PC but of those, IIRC, I've read only 322.
