Bookmarks!

[BookJumper]

From the depths of my room in my parents' house, I have just uncovered a set of gorgeous laminated Beatles banknote prints (one per Fab Four) of undetermined provenance - perfect!

I approve Giulia.

For someone who makes bookmarks, I never use them! How does that happen???? lol. I grab whatever's handing ( napkin, included ) and stuff it into the book to hold my place.

Likewise, I never use a bookmark either. I've even been known to use my phone as one

I used to use any old thing I could find as a bookmark, but I recently bought a couple of packs of multi-reference bookmarks from Waterstones. They're multi-coloured plastic arrow things which slip over the side of the pages. Not only do I use them as bookmarks but they come in handy for keeping track of my favourite quotes etc until I can jot them down on paper.

I always use the paper bookmarks they give away free at 1/2 Price Books, since my cat loves to chew on the ends and I can't have her doing that to my sparkly Twilight bookmarks! I did just come upon a couple as I was going through my books though - one with a nice drawing of seashells on it and a Borders one with a block print of a woman playing violin and Longfellow on the other side .

I do have lots of bookmarks, my favourite being a cuddly giraffe. However I tend to forget where I put them ( they usually turn up in a handbag ) so I end up using scrap pieces of paper most of the time.

I always use postcards as bookmarks. They're nice and big and I can always find the page I stopped reading quickly.

I use a laminated picture of my little boy when was only a few hours old

[TheNinthWord]

I usually use a red leather bookmark I bought at Castle Howard, a stately home my parents dragged me to years and years ago. It doesn't have any special meaning to me; it just works as a bookmark. I was going to say I'm surprised I haven't lost it, but since it's always in a book, then there's little chance that I would ever lose it.

 

When I read more than one book, I tend to use index cards. I have hundreds, so there's always one to hand.

[Renesmee]

I have to admit that I mostly use booksmarks that I got in a bookstore ... well, they aren't very pretty but they do the job. But I want to only use bookmarks that are pretty and make me happy That's where my bookmark calender comes in very handy (there's always a photo + an inspiring sentence on each bookmark). I love those things <3

Then I've also got a metallic bookmark ... thingie in the form of a cute girl that I bought in London and that's why it's special to me ... but I just notice I don't really use it - oh no! I could use it to make school stuff a bit more exciting ...

But all in all I love pretty bookmarks but unfortunately, I have way too few

Along with the lovely books I got in the mail today, Weave also sent me a cute little Roald Dahl bookmark! It's of The Fantastic Mr. Fox and has a little green tassle hanging from it . I love the quote on the back: "Well, my darkling, what shall it be this time? A plump chicken from Boggis? A duck or goose from Bunce? Or a nice turkey from Bean?" Thanks, Weave!!

I have loads of bookmarks, mostly thin card, promotional ones from libraries, bookshops etc, but some 'permanent' ones that have (in the main) been given to me as gifts.

However, although I often start off with a bookmark in the book beside my bed, if I carry a book to other parts of the house, or take it when I go out somewhere the bookmark gets mislaid and I use whatever comes to hand.

I am keeping my place in the current book with a bus ticket, as I took it shopping last week.

[MountainGirl]

I don't think I really have a favorite bookmark.. I usually try to use a different one every time I read because I most times leave the book mark in the book. I'm trying to break my self of this habit.. as I have found my self missing the book marks I've used.

Rachel, that is such a lovely idea, think I may do the same!

You are very welcome hen, still with the Roald Dahl theme, my bookmark is of 'Matilda' and the quote on the back is ~ 'If a little pocket calculator can do it, why shouldn't I?'

My favourite bookmark has to be my metal 101 classic reads on can't say I've read mnany of the classic reads lol

[Larry]

I tend to use old train tickets as bookmarks and I also have an old bus ticket which I've been using for five years. It's one of those season ticket ones stuck on to a strip of card which the driver then stamps until it's full. Transport is so costly, I don't like the thought of simply abandoning one's used tickets. I feel I need to get my money's worth by giving them another function.

[Peacefield]

Lately I've been using the baseball ticket that I got when I went to the game last month .

[Weave]

I collect bookmarks and I treasure them all, this is my most recent one from one of my friends, it's lovely ~

 

 

I am currently using my Roald Dahl's 'The Twits' bookmark, which says ~ 'A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly'

I just got one like this only mine has 50 'must reads before you die' on it.

[Kylie]

That's gorgeous Weave! And I'm still jealous of your Roald Dahl bookmarks. I'm planning on a re-read of The BFG in the next week or so in honour of his birthday.

[kmacdon3]

I use papyrus ones that I bought in Egypt years ago, they're getting pretty battered now though, could do with getting some new ones.

At the moment I'm using a train ticket covered in a sticker for my friend's band.
