I don't like lending my books to people.. I'll admit it. I feel selfish, but that's me. Too many times I've received them back in bad condition, when they left here perfect!
Does anyone else feel the same? My relative wants to borrow a series of my books, and I feel I can't say no as we are quite close and I know it will offend her! Grr

QUOTE Now if I can just come up with an excuse not to take a book Do you have a dog? If so, "Sorry, the last book I borrowed, the dog somehow got ahold of it and destroyed it, so now I never borrow other people's books!"

I do have a dog - and a very curious 16 month old who is into ripping pages out of books. Perfect excuses! I am sure it won't be long till I have to put into place. |
