We have around 3000, but I wouldn't say any one category dominates. My wife reads mostly fiction and I read almost entirely non-fiction. I have a lot of graphic design, art, photography and music books that definitely take up the most room as they're physically big.

I prefer non-fiction over fiction for sure, but have recently been sucked into a fictional mystery series. Just waiting on the author to release more books!

I've found that I go through phases. I turfed out a good 100 books of early stuff I read over 10 years ago because my new fascination had kicked in and I was stacking books in uncomfortable piles in the hallway. Plus I knew Id' never read them again.

I can't do that with non-fiction.

What’s the series?

The Dr. Jessie Teska series written by Judy Melinek, MD and TJ Mitchell.

Only two books so far in the series, they also have written a memoir together (they're married) and she is a forensic pathologist/medical examiner in real life which is what her books are about.

Their first book (the memoir) is titled "Working Stiff" and it is my favorite book. Nothing I read in the future will ever be able to top that book in my opinion. We'll see...
