Mariel suggested this week’s question.
Are you a spine breaker? Or a dog-earer? Do you expect to keep your books in pristine condition even after you have read them? Does watching other readers bend the cover all the way round make you flinch or squeal in pain?
I am definitely not a spine breaker or a dog-earer. I have been known to dog-ear book pages when there is absolutely nothing to use as a bookmark, but it breaks my heart a little every time! I like it when my books are in pristine condition, even after I've read them. Watching others bend the cover all the way around doesn't make me flinch unless a) it's a library book or b) it's my book. People can treat their own books however they want; just be careful with mine!

I agree: be careful with mine.
I like mine pristine too!
I'm annal about my is now but when I was younger I dropped many books in the tub.
Swapna I have a couple of book giveaways going so stop by.
You make a good point ... I shouldn't cringe when people dog-ear their own books. I'll try to be more forgiving :)
