Book Mingling


Musing Mondays is hosted by Rebecca at Just One More Page.

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about borrowed books.
Where do you keep any books borrowed from friends or the library? Do they live with your own collection, or do you keep them separate? Do you monitor them in anyway.

Oh dear me. Borrowed books from the library must never mingle with my own books! That is a book fine disaster just waiting to happen for me. I don't get many books from friends as usually I am the one doing the lending. I have two rubbermaid basket/crate like things that I keep the library books in. Sometimes I don't get to them and they end up staying in my tote bag until it is time to return them. So yes--I do manage them and do not let them get lost amongst my bookshelves.

  1. Sometimes mine don't make it out of the totebag either, if I'm compltely honest :)

  2. I don't mix mine either. I am trying to encourage my girls to do the same, but we still ending up searching for them an hour before we need to take them back.

  3. Mine stay in a pile on the floor next to my nightstand. They might almost touch their other "cousins" but they play well near each other. Since I'm the only one who brings home library books these days it seems to work well. When all the kiddos were home we had separate shelves or baskets and the list was always taped to the fridge!!

  4. Mine don't know there are other books in the house either as I keep them separated.
