I never lend books, I'd sooner lend my toothbrush. Been burned too many times.

Quoted for truth. I'm missing four Stephen King hardbacks, a Koontz paperback and a Phlippa Gregory paperback from one person (loaned all at the same time). Never saw them again. :sad:

WOW! I would be absolutely furious!! Especially since I'm a huge fan of King and Koontz. Let me guess the borrower either claims they were returned or just simply avoids you? In my case it's the former.
 
Last time I lent a book, about 25 years ago, the friend let her 10 year old read it while eating. The book was trashed and she didn't understand the problem. That was it, no more lending of books.
 
All borrowed..
The psychopath test - Jon Ronson (I adore his books)
Don't look behind you - Peter Allison
The Gun Seller - Hugh Laurie (couldn't resist)

And bought? The Very Cranky Bear by Nick Bland - a great kids book that I bought for my sister in law because she loves it possibly more than my children!
 
I just bought the latest Bloodlines Book, The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead. I must be one of the few adults that actually read YA books. I hear it's a growing trend. The last book I borrowed was a Romance by Nora Roberts, can't remember which one now though, but I have since downloaded most of them.

Not necessarily so few! I think it is a great trend to read what one wants to read, no matter what others may say or think. And YA are getting more mature and therefore more interesting. More power to you and please keep us posted.. :flowers:
 
I read all the Harry Potter before my young nephews, did...I actually sent them my paperbacks once I had the hardcovers. Loved the Percy Jackson series. Hunger games, I like a lot of the YA books. And my husband like them, too...he's 67.
 
Basically all my soft covers are YA, with all the Adult and "For Mature Audiences" books are on my laptop with password protection. My kids are too little yet to like reading anything not school related, but when they do start I'll be protected.

I have Hunger Games too. Vampire Academy and Bloodlines are good reads as well.
