Have I mentioned Bookmooch? Does what it says on the tin. I've just received Ted Hughes' Selected Poems 1957–1981 from a nice lady in Canada, and am about to send Hotel du Lac off to deepest NSW. Incidentally, if anyone has a copy of Margaret Lawrence's The Stone Angel that I can blag, do get in touch. It's one of my favourite books ever: I got a copy in Galloway & Porter in Cambridge years ago for a quid – a quid! – then made the not-to-be-repeated mistake of lending it to someone who never returned it (people who do this: there will be a dedicated circle of Hell for you when I rule the universe, so buck up your bloody ideas).
Ahem. Speaking of books, thanks to Becca's holiday antics I now have the title for when I finally write my wry but honest, sub-Erma Bombeck mommy memoir: Don't Dip Baby Jesus In The Dog Bowl.

Happy new year to you all by the way!
I love the book title and i can only imagine how that came about.
I too hate the lendies who dont return, or possbily worse, do return but in such a state that i am devastated. To me if this a book, it is definately 'book abuse' and should not be tolerated. I particularly love this

Can my bad borrowers join your cirlc of hell please?
