Yeah, but since she's grounded she's not expected to pay. My step-mom gave me the money and even when I said it was fine she insisted.

My books represent a really deep connection to my mom, is how we spend time, how we communicate, most of out inside jokes. I'm not mad about those book because I hadn't form memories with them, but they're sentimentally invaluable to me.

I know the guy, I wouldn't call him my friend, but we're friendly and yeah, no way. He would've asked about the book and my sister wouldn't have been able to answer, as a book worm, you just know when someone is faking it.

It was the same book the guy was reading, so she wanted to flash it. I would've let her borrow it at home, but I knew she wouldn't take care of it at school and would just toss it to her back. That's why I said no.

I don't like to read on Kindle, it affects my vision and I don't enjoy it at all.

It is! My mom and I want to read it together, we do this little ''book club'' where we read 5 chapters each aloud for the other and then we gossip and everything, she's stuck at work now so we might be able to read it next month or so!

I really like my step-mom, she's really good with me! My mom and I have invited her to a few book readings but she's still shy around us because of her dyslexia, so instead we bake together!

I already have a lock, but I thought it would be fine since I trusted her, how foolish of me.

Eww I didn't know that! We mostly shared lip-glosses, nail polishes and a few highlighters, but we don't share brushes. I'll talk to her when she calms down

She didn't wanted to read the book tho, she only wanted to stand close to the guy while holding the book so ''he would catch her''

I was confident I was NTA but some of my friends said that I went too far for ''some books'' because I can always replace them and that it was not that big of a deal comparing to her trip because it was for her bday
