Bookmarks!

[Ben]

Found my Davinci Code bookmark when I was tidying the other day.. thought I'd lost it but I'm happy now because I really like it.

[SueB]

My current bookmark is a piece of paper

I have just bought myself some magnetic bookmarks with pics and quotes from Winnie the Pooh. I love buying stuff like that. I think if it wasn't for the fact that i want my money to buy the books on my list i'd buy a bookmark everytime i entered a book store!

 

I love using magnetic book marks as they dont fall out.

I will confess I sometimes turn down the corners but only on my own books :S

Bookmarks I am using atm are - a purple ribbon with roses on, a puffin bookmark my bf got me the other month and an inbuilt red ribbon the book comes with

[Peacefield]

Lately I've just been using free bookmarks from the library or 1/2 Price Books. My cat loves playing with them for some reason and has gotten into the habit of biting the corners, lol.

I am using a magnetic Winnie the Pooh at the moment (so cute).The magnetic ones are so practical and like someone else pointed out they don't drop out like the more flimsy ones.

However I do have a bit of an urge to collect the leather ones when I am on holiday and have well ......more than I should have.

Laura!! That is book murder!!

[Ben]

I agree.. ):

[SueB]

Today I went into Sussex stationers and came out with 4 books and a Miss Chatterbox bookmark

[Chrissy]

I'm currently using a beautiful card with a purple flower print on it that I received from a friend. Using it keeps her close.

I've just got some gorgeous magnetic Nightmare Before Christmas bookmarks - just need to track down a Bagpuss one I saw somewhere now

I know, I will stop, but I need to get a really good bookmark.

[Stephanie2008]

I would never turn book pages down I get really annoyed if the spine gets creased or wrinkled. I get quite possessive about the state of my books so I always use bookmarks or receipts or scrap paper, anything to not damage the paper

I am the same way!

I always use a bookmark but my spines are always creased You can tell which books I've read and which ones I haven't just by looking at my bookshelves.

[amethyst]

Yeah I'm pretty much the same, I always use a bookmark, or something that stops me from ruining the pages, however my spines to crease, which annoys me but I don't know how to stop it.

 

I can't say I've ever seen magnetic bookmarks, sounds stupid, but how do they work?

[Ben]

It's really hard to read a book without creasing the spine. That's usually bound to happen.. but I would avoid turning down corners at all costs. I'd rather remember the page or use a scrap of paper.

I remember years ago borrowing a book from my mum and turning down the corner of the pages.....thought she was gonna strangle me

Today I have invested in a lovely bookmark

[Stephanie2008]

It is really hard not to crease the spine, but I try so hard not to. I just try to not open the books too much. I don't know if that makes me really obsessive (ok it does) but I really hate when the books look like they've been read

[BookJumper]

If I did that to one of my mum's books... *shudders at the very thought*! I used to turn corners down when I was smaller (before the book collector in me grew up), of the books that were second-hand and tatty and ancient. Now the book collector is big and strong, I won't turn even those - I'd rather strive and fail to remember the page number!

That made me smile, Chrissy. We're so close to our books, aren't we; what better way to be reminded of a friend.

[Kylie]

I get really annoyed if the spine gets creased or wrinkled.

 

Me too. My partner is talking about borrowing one of my books soon and I know he is already terrified of incurring my wrath if he breaks the spine. I want to cry sometimes when I watch him read with the book opened so far (his own book, of course). It's like I can feel the book's pain.

 

I just try to not open the books too much.

 

That's exactly what I do. It makes reading a bit awkward sometimes but it's worth it when you get to the end and the book is still in (near) pristine condition.

[BooksForLunch]

I do the same thing, concerning the spine.

I'm very careful with how I read them.

 

I usually use the recite (or bill) so like that I can start right away.

I used to have big bookmarks that I adore, but I somehow manage to lose them...

-_-''

So I use small sheet, no bigger then credit cards, as bookmarks.

Glad I'm not the only one I know what you mean about feeling the books pain

Definitely. I'm really trying with Inkdeath at the moment because it's a lovely cover and I don't want to ruin it at all.

 

Back on topic I found another bookmark of mine lying around today, it's not a very special one, just a plain HP bookmark, but it's another bookmark nevertheless.
