I take care of my books like they are my babies and I love them so much. So when my brother spilled soda on one of my signed books–take not: SIGNED– I flipped! Now, I’m a lover not a fighter but nobody messes with my babies and gets away with it. My little brother got a good scolding. Thank goodness the book wasn’t entirely ruined, only the part near the spine got wet but still, it’s damaged and my heart aches so much. 😦

I am so sorry to hear about your signed book! My books are my babies too! The Divergent makeup collection looks neat! I love Sephora! I’ve been reading too much N.A. and need to read more Y.A. I miss it! Happy Reading 🙂
Yeah sometimes I miss reading YA too 😉 Sephora sure is great! Glad you like the news I shared 😀
Thanks for sharing about the Divergent make up kit it looks great. Yep, I’m a bookworm and totally into makeup too. Hope your books survive the week unscathed 😉 and you have a good one.
Cheers,
Sharon
Aww thanks that was sweet! ❤
Aww, *hugs* I know it’s tough when your babies are harmed, but you’ll pull through. My heart goes out to you. 😉 Hope you have a great week and get some good reading in.
Aww thanks! *hugs back*
Oh, taking care of our books is like being given a sacred task….glad your book wasn’t ruined. Hope you have a great week! Here’s MY WEEKLY SUNDAY/MONDAY UPDATES
Yes it is a sacred task and I take it seriously! 😀
Oh…. I understand your distress completely!! My daughter left her WET TOWEL on the forth book in a Spinoff series that I enjoy, so it is the 10th book and now the pages are yuck….. And it is not even signed!! I hope all is well now *wink*
Thanx for visiting My Weekly Wrap-Up!

I am sorry to hear that. It really sucks when your favorite book gets ruined.
Oh no! I almost never lend books out to people because I’m afraid something like that might happen. I love the link for the signs you’ve been reading too much YA! That was too funny =)
Same here. I always hesitate to lend people my books, I only let my closest friend borrow my babies but only after I briefed them about the do’s and don’ts 😀
I can’t believe that all the makeup lines are doing cosmetic lines related to books. It is a bit weird.
Somehow it is. I know a lot of make up enthusiasts are really happy about this news but I can’t share their joy because I am not really into make up 😀
Aww, poor book!!
My brother took one of my books on a trip this week and I was like, did you put it in a separate!? Why is the dust covered wrinkled a bit!?!? I know how you feel. Glad it wasn’t too disastrous.
Cyn @ Book Munchies
I hate it when the dust jacket gets wrinkled so I feel your pain too! *hugs*
Yikes, the dreaded spillage. I’ve had that happen, glad it wasn’t totally ruined. Nice review of Eleanor & Park by the way, I don’t think I’ve seen a bad review yet and yours reinforces that. Looking forward to reading it at some point…
Thanks! Glad you like my review of Eleanor and Park. I highly recommend it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Aaah, I get mad at myself when I spill something on my books. I can imagine your reaction to your brother. 😀 I’m glad the damage wasn’t too bad.
The Divergent makeup, I just don’t get it, but I haven’t read the book either.
Happy reading!
I don’t get it either but as long as it makes Divergent fans happy, I am happy LOL.
I’m definitely going to check out the article about books like The Lunar Chronicles! Have a great week.
Thanks for commenting! 😀
Oh, I can feel your pain. I get mad when my children mess around with my TBR pile as well (i.e. change the order), though with the Kindle, that’s not so much of an issue any more. I’m fiercely protective of my laptop as well.
My Sunday post is here
I’m pretty protective with my books and also my e-reader and laptop too! I hate when people mess with my things.
You had a great week! Have a wonderful Sunday!!
Here is my post
Oh I can totally relate!!! My books are definitely my babies too, and I make sure that they’re well taken care of before I lend them to anyone! 😉
Sometimes I love my books so much I don’t lend them to people because I am convinced no one can take care of them better than I do. LOL
Oh nooooo.that poor book. My daughter borrowed a book and her dog ate it..well chewed it. I mourned and then scolded them both..LOL
*sniffs* I’m still mourning my ruined book. Such a shame because it was a signed one. Aww that tends to happen when there is pet around.
Agreed, now she keeps borrowed books on the top of her bookshelf..LOL
I love make-up so much! So I think it’s fun when there is a line out for movies. They never do ones for books… but since this is a movie based on books well that is just great! Thanks for sharing!
This one is pretty awesome! I have never heard of a makeup line based on a movie before so this is new to me. I am sure a lot of Divergent fans are very happy about this news.
