Is she over-reacting?

A small selection of the books I own

Ok, so today, my lovely house-mate and I were sat on the sofa - taking a break from revision (we have exams on Tuesday) and randomly in the middle of the conversation she goes 'Vikki...I think you have an addiction'. I thought she meant tea..I was drinking my 5th cup of the day. But apparently she means my book addiction. Then she asked me the hardest question I've ever been asked....how many books do I own?! 
You see, Hols (my house-mate) has about 7 books in the house at present. Where as I apparently have 142.....yes she had counted them as part of this little intervention.


Anyway we need your opinion. Is owning 142 books too many (She thinks so)? Or is Hols just over reacting (I think so)?
