I let you guys see my unread book wall and asked you to guess how many books you thought were in the stacks (here). Answers ranged from 350 to 1000! As I cleaned everything up I realized that 3 books were missing from the stacks, but I can’t count them since they’re not in the picture. Here’s the picture again…
You are looking at 769 books! Many of you came close, but the one who was closest was Jen (Wander One Day) with her guess of 775. She was only 6 off! That is impressive. Also impressive was the runner-up who was only 8 off and that was Kay (formerly of Purple Sage and Scorpions) with her guess of 761. Jen will get to choose a book for herself from my stacks 🙂
Thank you all for humoring my yearly obsession. One day I’ll get all of these read and they’ll move into my permanent library. Or if I hate them I may offer them to you!
Oh, and since I took this shot a few weeks ago 4 new books have found their way into my house 🙂

Congratulations Jen! =)
Thats alot of books!! Do you keep them together like that all the time? – or just for the photo? =)
Wow, that is a lot of reading you have to look forward to!
Wow, Stacy. You have a lot of reading to do! I wonder what your finished reading library looks like?
Wow, they were amazingly close! Congratulations Jen!
Maybe the next contest should be the date when they are all read! 😉
That is just crazy. But I bet you aren’t all that off from the rest of us. I refuse to count.
Wow … that’s a lot of books!!!!!
I still can’t get over how many books you have, LOL. Congrats to the winner 🙂
I don’t have the nerve to count my unread books. I think I’m afraid I won’t live long enough to read them all, haha.
My guess was a good bit over, but you still have a lot. Maybe someday I’ll count mine. Or better yet maybe I’ll read them.

You have me beat in the number of physical books!!! What a fun contest!
That’s a crazy amount of unread books!
Wow … that is a LOT of books!
Stacy….do you have a little book obsession? LOL Well, honestly, I think I have a similar number of unread books — some are ebooks though.
See you’ll have plenty to read in the retirement home in another 40++ years:)
That’s pretty impressive! LOL
I have you beat, but I won’t tell you how many unread books I have. LOL It’s embarrassing.
LOL hilarious. One day I’ll gather my courage and count mine. Congrats to Jen!
I don’t think I want to know how many I have in my tbr pile! I’m a little jealous that you have a room to do this in 😉 but I’m working on one of the bedrooms and hope to have two walls of bookshelves.
Ha, that’s so awesome. I have almost as many unread books too! Although I’m going to try to purge some soon, cause we’re moving to a smaller apartment in September and I won’t have room for 4 bookcases
This is impressive!!
