nightingale Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 I am once again in need of a bookmark. I think I'm going to invest in a proper lovely one.. I have three bookmarks at the moment. One is a folded pizza flyer and two are invoices for books i bought . They'll do for now until i invest in some new ones . Quote
Ben Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 I have three bookmarks at the moment. One is a folded pizza flyer and two are invoices for books i bought . They'll do for now until i invest in some new ones . I just never seem to have any and do not want to use little folded up pieces of paper, for some strange reason. I'm sure I have a couple of proper bookmarks hanging around somewhere, but if anyone thinks I am going to check every book on my shelves for one, then they have another thing coming. Quote
Inver Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 They are lovely Noll.....double sided thin sticky tape comes in handy when using things that you can see through. Must go and look out a cross stitch design to do for the stitch along thingy Quote
Lucybird Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Oh Nol they're beautiful. I really like the first one. I jut found my favourite bookmark which has been lost for years, literally! Quote
Inver Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Lucy...is that Little Bobo....think we have/had the book of that if it is. I am getting on with my cross stitch bookmark..have finished the wee hoosie on it. Quote
Lucybird Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 It is, but I haven't read the book, I just like the combination of monkey and orange I like! Quote
paula89 Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Hi I'm new on here, I have a book mark I brought its a picture one with a magnet in the middle, the picture is of The household Cavalry which is my sons regiment. These ones with the magnet seem to stay in place, as my book goes everywhere ie doctors hospital, anywhere where I think I might have a long wait. Time goes quicker with a good book Quote
Inver Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Hello Paula....nice to see a newby posting. Welcome and have fun. Quote
Janet Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Hi I'm new on here, I have a book mark I brought its a picture one with a magnet in the middle, the picture is of The household Cavalry which is my sons regiment. These ones with the magnet seem to stay in place, as my book goes everywhere ie doctors hospital, anywhere where I think I might have a long wait. Time goes quicker with a good book Welcome, Paula. I think I know the sort you mean - and I bought a Bagpuss one in a charity shop that goes over the tops of the pages and is magnetic ages ago - I wonder where it's gone?! I also take a book everywhere I go. Quote
Bettyboop33 Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 I never dog ear books im happy to say but i dont own a propper bookmark i always use scraps of paper or stuff like that but after reading this whole thread i am going to order some in on sunday, This thread has now converted me into a collector of bookmarks Quote
anisia Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 I got a really cute New Moon bookmark from my aunt a couple of days ago. It's nice to add to my bookmark collection, haven't done that in a while. Quote
Bettyboop33 Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 I just orderd a bookmark based on renesme from twilight and another that goes with the house of night series and a harry potter set . Quote
madcow Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 I got a new one today, Kat has kindly cross stitched me one with zebras on it is so cute Quote
iamnotreal Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 I usually use train tickets as bookmarks. They're handy because there's always one to hand. I did buy a nice brushed aluminium one the other day, though. It has '50 books to read before you die' on it. It's nice. :-) I also bought a Mr Men one the other day, haha. Mr Cool, of course! Quote
Inver Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 I got a new one today, Kat has kindly cross stitched me one with zebras on it is so cute It is isn't it . I saw the piccies. Quote
vinay87 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I make my own. Sadly my best one got worn out so I only use it to mark rereads of the Wheel of Time. Quote
Cookie Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I currectly have 2, one is a ginger cat that rests on top of the page and the other is like a metal stick with a teddy bear on top...his arms and legs move and would have been lost long ago if my OH didn't keep sticking him back together! Quote
Inver Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Just found this when I was googling piccies for bookmarks... Corner of the page Quote
Cookie Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Just found this when I was googling piccies for bookmarks... Corner of the page Thats really clever, as long as they stay on! Quote
Kylie Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 That's interesting. Thanks for sharing, Inver. I hope all the people who dog-ear their pages see this. Quote
Inver Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Thats really clever, as long as they stay on! Yeh I did wonder that too Cookie, but they look pretty. Quote
Nicola Booth Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I also bought a Bagpuss magnetic bookmark and now I wonder how I ever managed without it. I always used bookmarks but on occasion the bookmark did fall out whilst in my bag, for example. Can't stand when people fold over pages, grrrr Quote
Talisman Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I have some bookmarks - some which I bought from the Lundy shop, some which I picked up for free from book shops and so on, but usually I use whatever comes to hand - tissues, bus tickets, all sorts of things. Quote
Laura-Jade Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) I always lose bookmarks, I'm useless! I usually use bus/train tickets or post-it notes. I never fold down corners! The horror! I bought a used copy of Birdsong off Amazon that had a passport photo of a very attractive man stuck inside as a bookmark I couldn't bear to throw it out . Because I never fold corners, I've had to improvise quite a bit. A coffee shop napkin or a playing card or something. My favourite is when I borrowed a book from one of my closest male friends that he said he couldn't finish. Marking the page where he'd stopped reading was the wrapper from a sanitary towel I have no idea where he got it from! Edited January 26, 2010 by Laura-Jade Spelling Quote
