And I love your approach, Nise'. Accepting your son's generosity and pragmatically buying another copy is a lesson both in good parenting and thinking outside the square.wendy elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881030135062262159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281710755382835903.post-11814798973531692472009-01-27T10:51:00.000+11:002009-01-27T10:51:00.000+11:00I'm so glad we agree.

Instead of freaking out, I bit my tongue and went out and bought another copy, so if I don't get it back, I'll be okay.Nise' https://www.blogger.com/profile/15586400022454009379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281710755382835903.post-34061679615249528272009-01-27T05:23:00.000+11:002009-01-27T05:23:00.000+11:00I don't like to lend books out either.

Of course, if people want to give me books as gifts, I won't say no. ;)<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.ruthiereads.com/musing-on-lending-books" REL="nofollow">Musing on Lending Books</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281710755382835903.post-49962788832960892762009-01-27T03:06:00.000+11:002009-01-27T03:06:00.000+11:00I only lend books to kids.Lending booksI only lend books to kids.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://readingandmorereading.blogspot.com/2009/01/lending-books.html" REL="nofollow">Lending books</A>gautami tripathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192356825699543613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281710755382835903.post-66175690161471267792009-01-26T22:18:00.000+11:002009-01-26T22:18:00.000+11:00It seems to be a general theme that people will le...It seems to be a general theme that people will lend to people they trust, but worry if they don't know where books are.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904771329502876178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281710755382835903.post-23117142559175367252009-01-26T21:40:00.000+11:002009-01-26T21:40:00.000+11:00I don't borrow books from friends because I hate l...I don't borrow books from friends because I hate lending mine in return.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281710755382835903.post-76870641516889056752009-01-26T18:02:00.000+11:002009-01-26T18:02:00.000+11:00Oh that's it, your guilty secret's out now!I can u...Oh that's it, your guilty secret's out now!<BR/><BR/>I can understand that sentiment, though. There are some people (you, Renae, some friends from school) who I wouldn't hesitate in lending books too - but last week Alex asked if he could lend one of my books to his friend... well, I don't even like lending books to him.<BR/><BR/>And no, I don't think you guys have Twilight. I know Bec has New Moon and Eclipse... but did I?
