Patricia B.
I rarely write in my books. I feel it would ruin the enjoyment of those I share the book with. Except when a book really needed more proofreading. There have been a few that I have taken a red pen to to correct glaring mistakes. Those I wouldn’t share anyway.
The set of giveaways is perfect for me. Not many are out of my comfort zone.
Jeanna Massman
I’m a retired librarian so, obviously, I have a great respect for books! My books, for the most part, are in great shape. A few of my favorites, however, a little worn because they are well-loved.
