You shouldn't have given up your copy of "The Lightning Thief"! <br /><br />I can understand your attachment to that particular copy of the book. I'm sorry that happened to you...so I don't blame you for not lending books out yourself. And especially not to your cousin! <br /><br />But you know, you really should buy Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-31080011588172808152011-05-16T17:16:46.403-04:002011-05-16T17:16:46.403-04:00+JMJ+

But mine is not a happy story, so brace yourself! <br /><br />A couple of years ago, a cousin I call "Fire Storm" started reading Rick Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-74604450932728361022011-05-14T21:48:01.438-04:002011-05-14T21:48:01.438-04:00Hi, Enbrethiliel!
What a wonderful comment you...Hi, Enbrethiliel!<br /><br />What a wonderful comment you've posted! I can see that physical books are very precious to you, too! <br /><br />I can't understand why some people are so careless with books. Creases do not mysteriously appear on the spines of paperback books; they are put there by readers who BEND the front cover back just as if the book were a magazine! This is so HORRIBLEMaria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-2756487760252897282011-05-14T18:21:37.586-04:002011-05-14T18:21:37.586-04:00+JMJ+

It's true there is no better gift in the world than a book-- nothing else can even begin to compare. :)<br /><br />I love Sarah Allen's quote-- and the picture you paired it with. So perfect!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414324160166322024noreply@blogger.com
