Is someone able to explain to me why, whenever I'm getting my pets to read a message saying:

 

_ezekeil_ says 'Get me more books, come on, hurry up!'

 

But the book doesn't actually disappear?

 

 

It's kind of bothering me.

You should be happy :) If you go and check the list of books your pet has read and the book appears both as read and in your inventory, then you're very lucky :) Sometimes it's bound to happen, but is extremely rare. A boon from the Obelisk War increases the chances for that. I don't know if there are other ways to increase the chance, maybe beads from the Lutari Talisman?

Actually, the book boon increases your pet's intelligence by 2 instead of 1 per book read :)

The reason this happens is because a few years ago, Neopets introduced Loyal User Perks. If I remember correctly, any account over 24 months old will have a chance (albeit a pretty small chance) of books not disappearing.

That's a good thing! It means you can use the book twice! :)

I really only read books to Bookworm1811 (baby buzz is worm-like). I've found that the more I read to her and her intelligence increases, the more often the book doesn't disappear. Not really a confirmed fact, but something I've noticed. It confused me the first few times it happened too.

I'm focusing on raising _ezekiel_'s intelligence. She was the first pet I create for this account.

 

 

The whole not disappearing thing happened three or four times yesterday as I was getting her to read. It also happened with another one of my pets.

 

Thanks for all your help. :)

If it happened that often, that is very lucky indeed and I would be rather happy with that 'problem' myself. :P

I wasn't sure if it was a good thing or not. That is why I asked. :)
