When to mark a book lost?

It has been almost two months since I mailed my book to the requester. I have emailed twice with no response and she has not logged on for 65 day. Do I just give it up as a lost book? It would be my first lost book and for some reason it makes me sad to mark lost. Sounds silly. I know.

If they are not replying and have not logged onto the website, the book probably isn't lost. If you wait for six weeks after the last time you have reminded them, you will get a Force Received button. That is different than marking it lost because it will not give them back a credit. Marking it lost will give them a credit but you will not lose a credit. When people don't respond, I use the Forced Received button. I have never had someone come back and be angry that I marked it that way.
