I know what you are thinking. I, myself, find it selfish when people keep books well past their due dates just to finish them. And I am an offender, but only occasionally. As a general rule, I return my books on time, unless I am able to renew them from the comfort of my laptop computer late at night in my fuzzy pink robe.
But recently, I was caught up in the rare situation where I had placed books in the queue, only to have them come unexpectedly early and all at once. When you are quite down the list, and don't expect to get a book for a month or more, it is a surprise to get notified that your requested book has come in early.
Such as I found myself with Big Boned by Meg Cabot and The Seduction of the Crimson Rose by Lauren Willig. Both were due Friday and well, I didn't return them. The fines really won't be too much and really, my library isn't open again until tomorrow, so I didn't keep them too long past their due date. Had I returned them, it would be months before I got them back...worth the dime a day fine in my opinion. I was able to plow through both titles this weekend and will be posting reviews soon.
