Bettyboop33 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 I'm getting a bookmark for christmas its a person but when you put it in your book it's head and hand hand out and it looks like you closed the book on it and squished it, I saw it on amazon and it really amused me. Quote
Amy0x Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 I have quite a few... A black cat one, a hello kitty one I cross-stitched, random card pictures I have cut out... BUT I am terrible to my books, I fold the corner usually, I bend the book right back alas bending the spine, and once I have finished reading a book its usually quite in a sorry state - HOWEVER... Thats how I read, and I tend to buy my books second hand anyways as I prefer reading a battered book to begin with... I wont ramble on how I love the smell of books.. Eeep x Quote

Eeep x I'm similar Amy0x the first thing I do when I pick up a new paperback is crack the spine. I don't tend to keep paperbacks, I pass them on or they go to a local charity shop. Quote
Kidsmum Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 We took thec hildren to the Film Museum in Bradford this morning & I bought 3 wire bookmarks in the shape of hands doing paper, scissors ,stone. Quote
Charm Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 You know you're getting old when .... you ask for thongs for xmas, and you get book thongs! Although, I don't really mind of course, they are rather gorgeous! Quote
Lisa Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I absolutely love bookmarks! I've got lots of them, too. Especially those magnetic ones are rad. But my favourite right now is a good old-fashioned non-magnetic one: Quote
Weave Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) I got a absolutely gorgeous bookmark from peacefield (thanks hen! ) for my birthday, its absolutely beautiful (I will take a picture as soon as possible), it has a cat paws and fish design and lovely ribbons and charms, and it says on the back ~ 'A house is not a home without a cat'.

Kylie Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I absolutely love bookmarks! I've got lots of them, too. Especially those magnetic ones are rad. But my favourite right now is a good old-fashioned non-magnetic one: That's a lovely bookmark Lisa! Quote
Punkafoo Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I absolutely love bookmarks! I've got lots of them, too. Especially those magnetic ones are rad. But my favourite right now is a good old-fashioned non-magnetic one: That is such a cute bookmark, where did you get from? Before reading twilight I use to copy my nan and fold the corner of the page, when I got my twilight books, I made a bookmark myself dedicating it to Twilight, and now I'm currently using some cardboard from my amazon parcel.

Chrissy Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Over Christmas I was sent a couple of books, and included in the package was a little card with a Christmas Angel on it with sparkly wings. She is now my little book angel. Quote
catwoman Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I got given some lovely bookmarks for Xmas. A beautiful one from Charm. thank you again. Becuase of my bad reading mojo, I have quite a few books on the go and I have so many bookmarks in so many books. I am actually using my son's Buzzlight year one for the moment. I have found a Lord of the Rings filmcell bookmark on ebay which I reeeeaaaaaaally want. So I will put that on my Birthday list. Quote
Lisa Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 That is such a cute bookmark, where did you get from? Before reading twilight I use to copy my nan and fold the corner of the page, when I got my twilight books, I made a bookmark myself dedicating it to Twilight, and now I'm currently using some cardboard from my amazon parcel. I bought it at the bookshop I work at. It's a "Rebella Owl" bookmark. No clue whether you can get them outside of Austria? x Lisa Quote

Kylie Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I found a couple of 'Rebella' bookmarks at this site in the UK. They're different to Lisa's bookmark, but still very nice. Quote
Weave Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) I got a goregous bookmark from Charm at Christmas, thank you so much Edited February 7, 2011 by Weave Quote
Punkafoo Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I found a couple of 'Rebella' bookmarks at this site in the UK. They're different to Lisa's bookmark, but still very nice. I did look on there, was going to post it for other people when I got round to it, but you done it for me, thanks. I do like both those bookmarks, I also like the notebook, So I might get the notebook soon. Quote
frankie Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 I got a goregous bookmark from Charm at Christmas, thank you so much As did I. Either we've been very good little girls, Weave, or Charming Santa's been extraordinarily nice and generous Thanks Charm! Oh, and I've been meaning to say, I love the bookmarks you got for Christmas, they're really beautiful! When I learn how to attach a file or two (I've succeeded in doing it before but have had a lot of trouble with it today), I'll post a picture of the bookmark I got from Charm and the one I got from BF's friend.

kelmaria Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I brought a book mark on friday that says,quiet,I'm reading Quote
ToniLianne Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 My friend brought me a bookmark about 2 years ago with my star sign on it from Spain, as she was studying there. It has come in very useful as before I used to just use scraps of paper and was forever losing my place in books. Quote
VanessaL Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 I just used bookmarks that I got free in waterstones, will not get anymore of them as Waterstones closed down in Luton about 2 weeks ago. Quote
BookJumper Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 When my scanner decides to cooperate once more, I have to show you guys the 'vouchers' made by my sister which I've started using as bookmarks. As she has a job and I don't, she tends to treat me to trips / experiences / things for Christmas and birthdays, and as she's very art-y she always crafts beautiful glossy colour postcard-sized vouchers detailing just what my gift includes. They're really pretty and they remind me of a sister who loves me . Quote
Punkafoo Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 I asked my boyfriend last week if his work can make or do prints on bookmarks and that very same day they was chucking out a load of bookmarks and he kindly got me one, just plane red with a fringe at the bottom, better then using ripped up amazon card board.

Live Well Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Do you have a favourite bookmark, which goes from book to book.. or are you like me, and can never lay your hands on one?! I often grab whichever scrap of paper is closer, or sometimes I try to memorise my page number.. and always forget it! I read this and I think of myself. Over the years I have purchased countless Book Marks, but can never find one when needed. So I would grab bits of the toilet paper to Post Its! Quote
bobblybear Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 My mum uses bits of toilet paper as book marks, too. Quote
Habeebi Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 I used to live in the middle east and have a bookmark bought from Bedouins and made from camel hair haha total random x Quote
