Bookmarks!

His girlfriend probably !

My favourite is when I borrowed a book from one of my closest make 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!

Eeeee! Disturbing:lurker: particularly as the lender was a bloke, what the...?!

[Laura-Jade]

His girlfriend probably !

He's single as far as I know, which makes it all the more odd!

[Melisa]

After all the bookmarks I've bought, my favourite is a fish shaped one that came as clothes tag from a shop?!

 

Not sure why really but it's the one I always look for!

 

I've tried to use the paperclip type ones that you attach to the top of where you were reading but I always find they tend to tear some of the top of the page?!

I clicked on the link Diane posted about book corners and got the following message:

I forgot to mention that over Christmas I got this:

It's a hologram bookmark, the animation shows how the image moves when you tilt it side to side. It's also got random facts about Sputnik 1 on the back I saw it in a hardware shop of all places, and there were other bookmarks, rulers, postcards done in the same style.

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!

 

Lol! How freakishly random!

 

I have a few bookmarks, and my fave is a leather one with tassels. They're never to hand when I need them though (naturally) so I end up using whatevers handy, which is usually torn strips of paper or tissue or something lol. I'll never fold corners down though, even if its a beaten up old book I found in a charity shop.

Book Depository has recently announced the winners of the bookmark design competition, I have been absolutely taken aback by the designs and the winners' talents..

I have been given a charming cloth book mark! It has an almost medieval design (think tapestries etc), and a drop ribbon with beads. I adore it.

[Ilona]

I normally don't use them, but recently was in need of one when I kept losing my place in a psychobabble book I was reading. So, with some construction paper, glue, and markers, I made a little bookmark for it.

[Johnny Carson Whit]

I was given a wad of them when I bought a book in WHSmiths quite a few years ago advertising the BBC's The Big Read, I still have most and still use them

[runner]

I love the new type of magnetic book marks that are all the rage at waterstones! I now no longer lose my place when the book is dropped.

This is why I use Post-it flags. I can stick them to the page where I leave off and if I drop my book they don't come off the page.

I ordered a book of bookmarks from Amazon which arrived yesterday. When I got back from work my OH told me he had opened my package because he thought the book had fallen out because it was so small!!!In fairness the bookmarks could have fitted in to the average envalope!

I think I can beat that. My mother got a book from a second hand shop that had a USED ear cleaning cotton bud as the bookmark!

 

 

I have plenty of proper bookmarks but also use the nearest item-clean tissues, shopping docket, etc.

[arewenearlythere]

I like to use the receipt of the book I'm reading, I find a sentimental value in them because they are very personal to the book and can remind me where and when I bought the book. Also I just hate throwing away receipts

[Denise]

Im a bad one for bookmarks lately.If I get my books at the library I grab one of theirs to use.One for each book too.Otherwise I do a very bad thing and thats slightly turn a corner of the page over and crease it to mark my place.

[Brida]

I use all kinds of things - peaces of paper, pencils, tickets, those sort of promotional bookmarks you find in bookshops (promoting new books), one I made out of a specific kind of paper I don't know how to name in english (), and a plastic one in the shape of a dog, which you can sort of ''clip on'' to the page. And I use the post it coloured ones only for uni books. Don't know why I don't like to use them for other books. Strange.

[Brian.]

I tend to use either an index card (3x5inch) or lately I seem to be using the jokers out of a deck of cards.

[Brida]

^^Haha well that's original. At least they're put to good use

[vodkafan]

I use one that came with a book from an Amazon seller advertising his website.

[Gemz]

I have a plastic bookmark that is in the shape of butterflies. I got it with a mind body spirit thing.

[Kate]

I made my bookmark! Cross stitch

[Luthien]

I don't have a special one I always use. Though I have all kinds of different bookmarks I most often use the ones you sometimes get for free when buying books. At least then I don't have to worry about losing them.
