The Perils of Lending Books to Friends

Has this ever happened to you before, you lend a book to a friend only to get it back with dog-eared pages, water stains, or worse yet food stains? Yeah. I think it is a tragedy that has befallen us all at some point or another. Check out this fun video from Epic Reads about the drastic steps you can take if this ever happens to you again! I think she takes it rather well, I'd have sat in the corner and cried. :-P

 


Happy Reading!

    I had lent a friend a book, she had it in her bag and a peach or something broke and well the book was a mess, but she was nice and got me a new one
