Friends to know and ways to grow

On book ettiquette:

I love my book collection.  Sadly much of it has scattered the globe, as large amounts of books are not very travel friendly...

I love to share the joy that I find in reading books by lending them to friends and family.  However, I am not responsible (or anal) enough to keep track of who I lend what to.  And frankly, it really gets my goat when people don't return books.  Lately I've been finding myself thinking of a random book and realizing that yes, I did own that at one point, but now I have no idea where it is.  Frustration...

I'm trying to find some of those stickers that say 'ex libris' or 'from the library of' but they are all made for kids or ugly.  If anyone ever wants to buy me a very nice and thoughtful gift- those stickers, pretty and personalized, would be it.  Ha ha ha

Don't worry- I fully realize the embarrassing extent of my nerdiness right now
