This week's Question:
Do you share books? If so, do you have a system of keeping track of whom you lend books to?
Answer
Short answer no. Long answer is I used to share all the time but it is expensive replacing books that never seem to come back. I can't tell you how many copies of Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K Hamilton over the years. I'm too nice to push to get my books back so they always seem to walk away which is so sad. So I've decided I no longer loan them out anymore plus it allows me to buy more new books when I'm not always replacing the lost or kidnapped books.
What about you?
Yeah I'm not a loaner outer either. Mostly because I fear what condition they'll come back in. I did loan two books to a friend once. They weren't really favorites, I didn't enjoy them at all. So I had no problem loaning them out and when she forgot to return them I told her it was no big deal. They weren't faves and she could have them. So that was a win-win sort of situation. But yeah...other times I pretty much just bought people they book they wanted to borrow. Luckily that really was only ever for my sister and my friend from school and just on birthday/xmas, so it wasn't like I was constantly buying them books! Lol!

I like how you used the word "kidnapped" for unreturned books. :-) That's how it feels, doesn't it? I have been burned too many times when it comes to loaning out books by not having them returned too. I hope you have a great week!
