Rant:
3 years ago I loaned a book to a friend. We touched base about it when I moved, as I wanted to make sure they still had it. They did.
They said they hadn’t read it yet, and I was like… No worries. I’ll probably need it back soon, but go ahead and get started on it.
Annoyed me that they had my book for that long and didn’t bother to even read it.
About 6 weeks ago I sent a message: Hey girl! I need to get that book from you, let me know when you’re free to come by.
Oh that’s right, I’m SO SORRY I’ve had it so long.
That’s it. Crickets. Just sent another message: Just checking in on this!
I’m resentful. This is annoying. I’d just get another copy but this book cost $75.
New Rule: Either give the book away entirely or don’t bother.
