Oh heavens - I'm a book thief again

I stole another book.
But again, not on purpose! I honestly thought I returned it. So when I got an email saying it was due that day, I called and told them that. The librarian said, "Oh, it probably just didn't get scanned right. We have tens of thousands of books coming in every day, and that happens sometimes. I'll change it to say that you returned it." I had been thinking she'd check the shelf to see if it was there. But she didn't check, and I (shame on me) didn't tell her to, figuring I didn't want a fine if she couldn't find it.
Well, I found it. Don't worry, I will return it Monday, but yeah, until then I have a contraband library book. I'm so horrible.

You'd best be careful, because my friend's two-week old library fine of $2.25 was sent to collections.
