What is on your bookshelf? And...Have you read them all?

Did you know, the average British household contains 138 books, but over half have never been read? This is according to a study of 2000 adults published on World Book Day, 6th March.

It is estimated that 3.6 billion books are tucked away on shelves, in the loft or in our bedrooms.

The survey also reveals that two thirds of us keep books because we are emotionally attached to them, while the rest of you hoarders just don't like to get rid of things.

I'm off to rummage through my loft!
