Do you have all of Bob Woodward's books?

Just about. I don't think I have a copy of Wired (Woodward's controversial biography of John Belushi) anymore, and I definitely need to get a copy of Maestro (about Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve). But I have hardcover copies of everything else, including first editions of Woodward and Bernstein's All the President's Men and The Final Days. I even have The Man Who Would Be President: Dan Quayle by Woodward and David S. Broder, which isn't usually listed among Woodward's bibliography, but was a short book released in 1992. It was largely put together from reporting done by Broder and Woodward while profiling Vice President Quayle for The Washington Post beginning with his shocking selection as VP in 1988 and continuing through the Administration of President George H.W. Bush.

I wonder if the book-sorting method also depends on how many books you own. My partner and I counted the other day and we have 852 not counting what’s at his office. So:

How many books do you own?

0-50

50-100

100-200

200-300

300-400

400-500

500-600

600-700

700-800

800-900

900-1000

1000+

Idk if anyone has noticed but my banner is a photo from an op shop near me where I found a complete works of Oscar Wilde book with a “to x, 194-“ date on the inside (I’m assuming 1948 onwards as that’s the publishing date on the copy)

There was also;

Top 3 authors on my shelves #top3authorsonshelf

Tagged by @stefito0o, thank you! I know I'm severely belated getting this up but all of these authors are double-stacked on my shelves and hauling them out and reassembling my shelves is something I haven't had the energy for until lately. (Also, these aren't entirely accurate stacks because I only went for "read and owned" and didn't trawl the TBR shelves.)

Terry Pratchett - This should surprise nobody who's met me! I discovered him while working in a library during high school and have never looked back. I'm working on collecting an edition of everything he's written and I'm very nearly there. It was hard getting everything into the same shot here, let me tell you.

Seanan McGuire - Also probably not a surprise to many followers! She's another one of my auto-buys, after Pratchett, and I can count on her books to be either entertaining or heartbreaking, and often both at the same time. …And I've just realized I didn't include her books as Mira Grant. Whoops. Oh well. Assume you see the Newsflesh trilogy here too!

Lois McMaster Bujold - A friend in my early 20s said I had to read the Vorkosigan books and they were right! At the time, like with Pratchett, the easiest/best way for me to read everything was to hit up used bookstores whenever possible, hence the varying print runs. Then I padded out the set with omnibus editions and started in on her fantasy works. I don't know if I'll buy more of the World of Five Gods novels than what I have, because I like her SF a little more, but I have a few and no regrets there.
