I probably only had 50 pages left, and I put it down, open, on the floor next to my bed (no bedside table then), and the following night when I went to bed it was gone. I lived alone. I hunted for it for weeks and weeks and finally had to replace it (luckily it was mass market so I wasn't out too much $$) so I was able to finish it. I figured it would turn up when I moved, but it never has. I think The Borrowers took it.Carinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-37746320760383187652009-10-19T06:13:54.317-07:002009-10-19T06:13:54.317-07:00I don't lose books (or anything else, really. ...I don't lose books (or anything else, really. Except this ONE file at work.) But I have a problem with forgetting what I've loaned to other people.

They were all mine.

I believe that I lost it in one of my moves, when I was far less organized (garbage bags for packing, anyone?) Now I'm far more careful, and I only tend to lose books when my kids decide to "play" in mommy's bookshelf!The Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01248537555041830039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-54508644519246545372009-10-18T10:40:34.265-07:002009-10-18T10:40:34.265-07:00I feel this, as I've misplaced two library boo...I feel this, as I've misplaced two library books.

I've taken to have my husband look if I've tried and tried and still can't find it. Sometimes getting new eyes on the problem works. Sometimes even he misses the book.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-54739751325424351582009-10-18T08:49:44.182-07:002009-10-18T08:49:44.182-07:00I really hate to lose library books.

I usually just go ahead and pay for them, but I always end up finding them and getting my money back.<br /><br />Kids always lose library books and it is so tramatic to lose your library book when you are six years old. There are tears. And wailing, at times. <br /><br />I remind them to keep looking and give them an old paperback to tide them over. They always find their books. Look in unusual places, I tell them. One library book was found in the refrigerator. <br /><br />Did you try there?Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.com
