I Have About 40 Books. Most Are Unread And/or Untouched Because I've Read Them As Ebook Already. I Only

I have about 40 books. Most are unread and/or untouched because I've read them as ebook already. I only purchased them because I like the feeling of finally having them physically. I say the pandemic has greatly impacted my book buying act since I don't get to go to the bookstore always.

Book Discussion

I’m curious, how many books people own that they have not read. most of booklr seems to have a large number from what they’ve said, but my collection seems much smaller (not counting e books, I have around 25).

totally not meant to be judgy, I’m just very curious about how many other people have.
