On a separate sheet in my plastic pocket of various lists, I have a list of ones I’ve given to my mother. But it’s ok with her, there’s no urgency to get them back to me.
I have lost a few…I have a couple of good friends who always return and usually bring back more than they borrowed…When I loose one I just figure I will get more and I’ve already read the lent book so I try to just let it go
I’ve lent out three. In my life. Easy to track. Once in high school, it was never returned and my family eventually lost faith in that person’s integrity. Once to my mother -she has it on a shelf, waiting for me to come get it in a couple months. And once to my brother, I put a sticky pad note on the last page reminding him that I wanted it back, we’ll see how it goes.
I keep track of what I read on Goodreads, and I have a notebook in my purse to make sure I don’t buy ones I have already read. Once I give them away, then they are gone. Not keeping track what leaves the house.
I share too many. I have an idea of what I have bought and read. Sometimes, it takes years before my beloved book is magically reunited with me. I then put it in my personal library and dont borrow it out unless I make it a point to buy yet another copy. I love sharing books with people and find that if I borrow them out enough, that book has made a differnece in their life and that is what reading is all about.
You mean lending?
I don’t lol ?
Lend them out that is
If by ‘share’ you mean lending? Then I never lend. I’d sooner buy a book for someone rather than let them have a copy that I own.
I don’t share ?

I don’t lend
I only lend books to my family and they always return them.
I keep a written list.
Yes. Lending.
Goodreads
I prefer to buy them the book they want rather than lending my own copy
I hate borrowing my books 🙁
me too
Easy, because so many people don’t look after the books they borrow I don’t lend them out at all
only people I share with are my Mum and Aunt that’s it.
My own family may lend them, but they are not readers, or they love another genre
3 things I don’t lend EVER!
1. Books
2. Make up
3. Shoes

shared books before and never get them back. don’t share anymore
This is my problem!
I only lend books I intend to get rid of. Never read the same book twice so if I buy it, I read it and then donate when done. ?
Simple i don’t share my books ??
i mark all mine on goodreads and i have an a4 notebook i also write them in so i can go back and check
I don’t share lol. They’re all mine ?

Most of my friends aren’t readers, so it’s not really an issue
I’ve learned a valuable lesson. I use to track them via a bullet journal. But then some people never return them so I don’t lend books anymore. 🙁
I do not share. People do not take care of your books,etc. Stopped sharing decades ago!
Don’t share. Shared in the past and never got them back so lesson learned.
I only share books with one person and she’s as psychotic as I am about my books. Right @Amanda?
Amen!
I don’t share my books
If I share them, I don’t expect to get them back.
It’s v simple…..I don’t share my books
I don’t lend my books out.. I did let my sister read some while she was staying with us but that’s it.
Must be checked out just like at a library.
I don’t.
Sharing is Caring.. booksharing is stupid…??
If I lend a book out I don’t expect to get it back. I own sooo many books that it’s OK if some go missing. It’s a bonus if i get it back.
I don’t how ever when I lend now I’m super selective as to who may benefit…as some thieves deserve nothing I know
Well that’s simple, I don’t share my books!!?
