To find the total number of books Brooke read, we need to add the number of plays and the number of novels she read.

She read 176 plays and 381 novels.

Total books read = Number of plays + Number of novels Total books read = 176 + 381

Now, we perform the addition:

176 + 381 = 557

Therefore, Brooke read a total of 557 books.
