I had quite a collection of books on a variety of subjects - although not as extensive as the frogs, but I won't go there - mostly science fiction and fantasy novels.  A lot of them were sent to my nephews when they were young, and they ended up in my brother's HUGE basement library.  More were given away when my parents retired and moved out of their house, and I could only keep a few boxes of carefully chosen books because of space considerations in the apartment in which I was living at the time.

Two moves later and my collection still hasn't recovered, mainly because 1. the lack of shelf space and 2. trying to keep the clutter down until the place is painted properly.

There are many books out there that I'd like to have but right now I settle for buying only those that are an absolute "must read".
