@NickEast @bookstodon @bookstadon @bookbubble @books I always think about this, in that I don’t want them to think I stole it from them.

But yesterday I was in a used bookstore and I noticed how many of my books they had — like the same editions of some fairly uncommon books. I had a “did someone rob me and sell my books?” feeling.

I've heard of leaving bookstores owning the same number of books as when you entered, but I've never heard of leaving with less.

@Chicken0Death @NickEast @bookstodon @bookstadon @bookbubble @books Exactly! Who leaves a bookshop with fewer books? To quote my son, “You’re doing that wrong.”

@MardraS @Chicken0Death @NickEast @bookstodon @bookstadon @bookbubble @books Leaving with the same number is bad enough - I always feel terrible when that happens.

But leaving with less. That is wrong. In every way.

@NickEast @bookstodon @bookstadon @bookbubble @books I've legit had this nightmare, that i left my book at the bookstore and lost it forever.
