Cordelia dogears pages in her books, library books, too. I've tried to break her of the habit, but she doesn't see anything wrong with it. It's not that she doesn't have bookmarks; she must have at least half a dozen nice ones, and she can get bookmarks from the school library any time. She just doesn't like bookmarks. I think that she feels they get in the way and that she doesn't like having one more thing to keep track of. I was brought up to believe that dogearing was bad, that it damaged books, so I cringe a little each time I see her do it.

I don't know where Cordelia got this habit, either. Neither Scott nor I do it. I'm going to try again to get her to stop doing it with library books. Books she owns she can destroy if she wants to, but library books need to last.

So far, she shows no signs of wanting to write in books. I'll definitely head that one off at the pass if it turns up.
