1) Total number of books owned?
This was a tough one, and the reason it took me so long to answer this meme. I had to estimate. I counted the books on ten bookshelves, averaged them out, and multiplied by the number of shelves: total 1,430; then I remembered the ones that are stashed in the Master Bedroom and out in my truck, so add about 20 to that.

2) The last book I bought?
The Knights Next Door by Patrick O’ Donnell
3) The last book I read?
Last one I read for the first time, see above.
Last one I re-read: The Hobbit
One I am currently re-reading: The Silmarillion
4) Five books that mean a lot to me?
-The Bible
-The Lord of the Rings
-The Space Trilogy by CS Lewis (Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength)
-The Chronicles of Narnia
- The Hobbit
(I count trilogies and series as one big book.)
5) Tag 5 people and have them fill this out on their LJs:
ansothehobbit
rabidsamfan
gamgeefest
lindelea1
shirebound
Because I’m nosy.
By the way,
gamgeefest, my spellchecker constantly tries to turn your name into “gametes”, LOL!
By the way, I just found out you can't cut and paste usernames.
Edit: I just realized I forgot one whole bookcase. Add another 147 to that total.
