She just <i>threw</i> it in her locker and let books pile on top of it. I was outraged at the time.<br /><br />Occasionally I will dog ear pages and I write/highlight if it is required for class but never in personal books.<br /><br />I have seen blogs talking about a journal you intentionally destroy though which could be a lot of fun. oh, and I don't mind inscriptions in books - that makes it more personable for me. I never thought about other people <i>not</i> liking inscriptions before!Allihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955140065239375078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796829483097584791.post-69725850756377872772011-03-13T20:53:46.190+13:002011-03-13T20:53:46.190+13:00I am always incensed at those who feel the need to...I am always incensed at those who feel the need to write in library books. Sometimes they are correcting a typo (sometimes even mis-correcting a non-typo) - but while my eye skims over a typo with only a small pause, a pen or pencil mark on the page only serves to interrupt my reading and draw my eye.<br />Even worse are the ones who leave editorial comments in the margins!<br />I didn't even let my children have colouring books for years because I didn't want them to have the idea that they could draw in books!Kate @ UpsideBackwardshttp://upsidebackwards.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796829483097584791.post-71715049761993180462011-03-13T20:51:28.762+13:002011-03-13T20:51:28.762+13:00Ha, ha!

But if I caught any of my children doing that there would be trouble!!!<br /><br />I am definitely a book worshipper and expect the same from my children - but I'm not quite as compulsive a worshipper as you ;) ah... I admit to turning the corner of a page over when I've misplaced a book mark (criminal, I know!!!) - even my daughters tell me off for doing that in their chapter books now!Catching the Magichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02439612318034698506noreply@blogger.com
