Chimera Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I never payed much attention to what I used as bookmarks before, but I think I've caught the bog thanks to this thread *laughs* Quote
BookBee8 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 The Twilight bookmarks which I ordered about 3 weeks ago still haven't arrived. So, I treated myself to this: Clicky! Quote
Chimera Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Very nice BookBee! My current favourite is this one. It's after one of La Fontaine's fables "The crow and the fox" (are those known in other countries than france? They are absolute classics for us) and I find it really cute Quote
BookBee8 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I haven't heard of them, but the bookmark is very cute! Quote
Chimera Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 mmm Probably not. Actually I think this has inspired me to re-read them... They're the kind of classics that we've read and re-read for school (and learnt by heart in some cases as they made very good poetry learning material) so I'm sure I would enjoy them more/ differently now.

pipread Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 We have, Aesop`s Fables, are they the same? Quote
Chimera Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Same idea and writing format, but not the same author. Actually I just checked them out and they are so similar that I thought "The Lion and and the mouse" was one of La Fontaine's but it turns out it's one of Aesop. Quote
Ben Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Nice one bee, that's rubbish delivery though! Quote
BookBee8 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Where did you order them? Normally most says arrive within 7- 14 days. Have you e-mailed them? Nice one bee, that's rubbish delivery though! Ooh no, I didn't buy it online. That was just to show you guys what it looked like. I bought it from the shop 'Paperchase'. Quote
BookBee8 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Ohh, you're asking about the Twilight bookmarks? I'm so silly. I thought you were asking about the one I bought today. The Twilight ones are from Ebay. We've emailed them but we've had no reply! Quote
Pilgrim Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I usually read e-books but when I'm not I'm usually discussing it and the bookmark has lines so I can take notes - sticky ones so that I can put two together back to back. Quote
Inver Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Just found these printable bookmarks that you can personalise before you print them off ! Printable bookmarks Quote

Charm Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Great sites Inver and Heather! Think I'll have a tinker with them later and maybe print out a couple. Quote
Ben Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 To my utmost shame, I've lost my Davinci Code bookmark. I have a funny feeling my mum has asked both of my grandma's to keep a look out for a good one for me.. being silly like I am. Quote
sth202 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 I have loads of bookmarks! Trouble is there are some that are so nice I don't want to use them so they're sitting on my shelf. At the moment I'm using a freebie one I got from a magazine with the Galaxy logo on it. Quote
BookBee8 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I've only got six bookmarks. One metal one, three multi-coloured ones and two Twilight ones. The metal one is my favourite at the moment! It's all pretty with lots of colours on it. Quote
Weave Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Mr Gyre bought me a bookmark the other day, its unusual, it has a fuffy bunny as its top, so at the moment, a bunny is sticking out of 'The Glass Bead Game' Quote
Kylie Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I lost my beautiful book thong the other day when I stupidly left my book behind at the airport It was such a lovely bookmark. I've already bought plenty of beads to make my own, but I really liked the one I bought. Quote
Chrissy Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I lost my beautiful book thong the other day when I stupidly left my book behind at the airport It was such a lovely bookmark. I've already bought plenty of beads to make my own, but I really liked the one I bought. It just means that a bookmark will come to you soon that will mean more - it'll be gorgeouser (if this isn't a word it should be!) and the books you read with it will be better, and you'll love it more and never lose it!

BookJumper Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I have a big pile of unusual postcards collected on my many travels (I've got a couple from a Sicilian catacomb museum with clothed mummies on them, for example), and usually use those. When none is to hand I try to remember the page number, forget, and end up getting really annoyed the next time round when I realise I've just re-read a chapter... Quote
Charm Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I received a beautiful bookmark in the post today from Gyre! Its a gorgeous gothic type Virgo one with a little charm on it Its just the style I like and I think its lovely. Pics! thank you so much Gyre! Quote
