Twilight Series Has Anyone Else Done This?

pixie09 posted on Feb 17, 2009 at 04:33AM
my friend decided that she wanted to read twilight to see what all the hyp was about, so i, as a good caring friend, lent her my copy. big mistake. a week later she handed it back to me with a big smile saying that she loved it heaps (naturaly) and asked if she could borrow the next one... lets get this straight, i LOVE my books and keep them in the best condition that i can. and here was my friend (whom i love dearly) handing me back my book in tatters!! .. i think i said something like, wow did you put it through the washing machine or something?? .. she said that it had rained when she was walking home from school and it got wet ... mmm well you could have put in your bag maybe!! .. lol ye but i was really annoyed to put it politly ..
so i was just wondering, you all as twilight fans (<3) are the only ones who can answer honestly, am i over reacting when i say im pissed at my best friend for killing my book??
or has anyone else had this problame ?? :S

oh and i said that my sister was reading new moon at that point in time and it would take her a while :p haha ..

hmmm
of course!!

my mom tried to read them,
i wasnt reallly happy about it but i said ok.
she was only on page 30 of twilight and my parents got in a fight.
my dad then decided to throw the book outside(thinking it was my mom's) and it just happened to land in the pool.

i quickly ran outside to get it and then brought it up to my room.
it air dried but was almost destroyed.
i was angry but didnt ssay anything,
one good thing is that my mom never asked to read it again.

I totally do not think your overreacting. I don't know how your friend could return the book with a smile on her face.

I agree, you're definitely not over-reacting! My books aren't in great condition but if it was someone else's I'd make sure it was in good condition!

I know what you mean- it's not the fact that its the Twilight books, but more the fact that you expect people to look after things you lend them them

i lent my best friend some books back when we where in primary school, we are now in our teens and i still haven't got them back, I'll probably find them in her room when she moves away from home to university or something.

i do agree wth ovybo though - how could she return it with a smile on her face? maybe a sheepish smile but...
over a year ago mandapanda said…
yeah. I remember when my friend was trying to take my book away, and she bent the cover a little. I got so mad. and when I pulled New Moon out of my backpack, the back was bent... i was sitting at my desk with my hands over my face. Some of my friends were just shaking their head because they know how protective I am of the books. lol

yeah don't worry, i lent my only copy of twilight to my friend and after several weeks of begging she gave it back, with half the pages folded in half and the cover completely trashed.... and i love her but seriously, TAKE CARE OF OTHER PEOPLES PROPERTY! then when she asked for new moon, (as mean as it is) i lied and said that my brother was reading it. oh and when i asked her what the hell had happened to the pages she said that she folds the page shes up to so she remembers where shes at... ever heard of a bookmark?? LOL i'm there with you pixie09

YES!! my friend kait did that to my copy of twilight. i was pretty mad at her, esp. since it took her close to four monthes to read the dang thing. and shes the kind of person who dog ears the pages! it bugs me to death!

When I lend out new books, I tell my friends that I'll charg them is something happens to them. Sure enough, I lent a brand new copy of another book to a friend, she went out to eat with her family, and some sort of sauce was spilled in it. I only charged her $5 though, since she obviously tried very hard to save the book. She was willing to buy me a new book, though.

I am obsessed with my books- it may sound awful but I get mental when it comes to books. That`s why I don`t lend books, (well I lended my copy of HP:The half-blood prince once to a dearest friend, but she is a stickler as well)If someone want`s to read a book- well that what book stores and libraries are created for. Please have some respect for the books, Jess...we`re talking Twilight saga here.
It`s a good thing you`re a calm one- I would have like broke her rib or something XD
