After making her replace about 3 books, I decided enough was enough and banned her from Kris' Library. I'm tough, not mean.<br /><br /><br />Tracy: "I knew I liked you for more than one reason. ;)"<br /><br />True. More than spine cracking unites us. <br /><br />"I will NOT dog ear a page - isn't that just doing damage to a good book?"<br /><br />Exactly. That's just wrong. :)<br /><br /><br />Ingrid: Geez.

Kinda like blood on your hands... ;)"<br /><br />Shush! You're not meant to reveal that, Miranda. That's one of the Sacred Spine Cracker Secrets. Geez.<br /><br />"And my husband benefits greatly from my spine cracking! He says all he has to do is let the book fall open and the spine is cracked at the most smuttiest parts!"<br /><br />Now that's funny and very cool. We'll talk off line about the books he finds particularly inspiring. *waggles eyebrows*<br /><br /><br />DL: "and how is it I never seem to have one handy?!

Or they are in another book. Or I just lost the stupid things, again."<br /><br />Wow. I just got deja vu. LOL. The Gremlin constantly steals my bookmarks and the ones already inside books get destroyed by one of my boy kittens. Do you ever get the feeling that something is not meant to be??<br /><br /><br />LB: "But I LOVE to crack a good spine."<br /><br />Me too! Like I said to Anna, it's the sound of anticipation - that start of a book, the building up to the climax and the (hopefully) satisfying end. Nothing beats it. :)<br /><br /><br />Richelle: "So I waited and read it while she was at school, heh."<br /><br />LMAO!

Not my Terry Pratchetts though as they are sacrosanct. :)<br /><br /><br />Lily: "Wow, that felt almost liberating. :D"<br /><br />Good. That means you owe me now. ;) I think it must be a reflection of how much the Mumma put the fear of God about treating books like babies (only better) that the entire 'well loved' argument seems to have passed me by.
