[quote=squat250]we are library folk too, but, it’s nice to own also.

all our harry potter books have been read at least 5x each by threekids, so that’s 15 readings per volume, x 5 books? 75 readings.

i mean, the little one was so thrilled to have the new diary of a wimpy kid in hsi grubby little hands last nite….he will probably read it a dozen times….it’s worth it..[/quote]
I hear you on some books being worth owning. We have the HP set, the Lemony Snickets books, The Percy Jackson books. With two boys – they’ve been read a LOT. And yes – we have several of the wimpy kid books.

That said – I just picked up The Maze Runner, and Enders Game at the library – I expect both boys will have read them by the end of the long weekend.
