my younger sib won't let me read breaking dawn (which is a killer bc i'm dying 2 know what happens 2 edward & bella by reading) no spoilers or i will report. VERY sensative against spoilers. i've already gotten one... she asks how long it'll take me, i tell her she must ans. why she's asking this if i ans. her ques. she ignored me when i asked. she's re-read it twice already, and now she's working on a third or forth time. i'm very angry about this. it's pointless and unfair. so i just had 2 know what u people think.

  1. Yes, it is kind of unfair that she will not let you borrow it, but there's nothing you can do besides quarrel with her about it.  After all, it's HER book.

    There's a marvelous invention called the library; go there and put Breaking Dawn on hold.


  2. Tell her she's acting like a selfish ten-year-old because, honestly, she is (well, if she is ten, then accuse her of being six or something). -_-;  She should be happy she read it first and generous enough to then share the book.  My entire family passed around the Harry Potter books as each one came out; we even sent them away to my grandmother!  And we passed them in order of fastest reader so that each person could get it as soon as possible (well, fastest except that my mom got them first--mom rights--and we about tie).  

    So, yes, I agree that it's completely unfair.  

  3. That is selfish, but it's her copy and she might not want anyone else to handle it. The best solution is just to get your own copy...that way, if you ever want to re-read it, you will have your own copy!

  4. get the book from the library

  5. Yeah, I don't think that is really fair... How old is she? That seems a little childish. It should only take a few days to read too, she should be able to live without it for that long, at least.

  6. You're the bigger sibling...just take it from her.

  7. It certainly appears that she's being selfish, but the concept of "mine' is something we all go through as part of our development.  Still, if she's old enough to read that series and to have read the current book at least twice since it was released, she should be beyond that stage--anyone who behaves as she's doing is probably not mature enough for the series.. But, bottom line, can't you get your own copy?

  8. Was the book a present to her or was it supposed to be shared by the both of you?  If it was supposed to be shared, at this point, I would have just taken the book away from her or told my mom, especially since she already read it once and it isn't fair to you.  If the book belongs to her, however (it was purchased for her specifically) you are at her mercy.  You could ask your mom to intervene though.

    I am the eldest of three sisters, btw.  We were bad with sharing anything. *sigh*
