page turner Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I have heaps of bookmarks but tend to use only a few, and they have to match the book I'm reading in someway too. I also have most of the Harry Potter bookmarks - I'm only missing Luna and I'm kicking myself for not geeting it when I saw it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissi Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I now have a lovely magnetic Tom Kitten by Beatrix Potter bookmark. I love it I've got that one as well And a Benjamin Bunny one. Also got quite a lot Winnie the Pooh ones and two Little Miss ones. Little Miss Naughty and Little Miss Giggles in fact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennyflower Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I always seem to lose my bookmarks, but I have a nice one my auntie gave me from Borders Bookstore (that I promise not to lose ) and another that I made from a scrap of card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucybird Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 At the moment I have an Amazon message (from a gift) in one book and a note from Gyre- with a lovely picture on- in the other. My sister took my bookcrossing bookmark out my copy of The Hunchback so I think I will have to clear my desk to find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 My mom sent me a bookmark in the mail! Its so cool. Its one of those magnetic ones. It is a dolphin. She believes dolphins are good luck (she is really superstitious ). It decorates a book really nice. Definitely a keeper for me. Moms rock!

jewell Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I lost my fav bookmark, which was a cat that sat at the top of the page like it would on a fence, and held the page with its front paw and tail. However i do have a new one of a cat peeking out through a hole in the fence. It's really cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ta'veren Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I have several, but I always prefer to use floppier bookmarks than rigid ones. Not sure why, bit that's how it is. At the moment my floppy bookmark is of the German Underground Hospital in Jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewell Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 My husband has just done the cutest thing for me. Because i'm reading Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy he made me a bookmark with the words 'don't panick written in big friendly letters' across the middle. And a picture of the paranoid android Marvin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookJumper Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Awww jewell that is so sweet! Having just treated myself to a the snazziest, ultimatest edition of Hitchhikers that money can buy (five books in one plus a short story, bound in black leather with gold lettering and gilt edged paper) I am quite jealous... I want a DONT PANIC bookmark too!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amethyst Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I have several, but I always prefer to use floppier bookmarks than rigid ones. Not sure why, bit that's how it is. At the moment my floppy bookmark is of the German Underground Hospital in Jersey. I'm the same, my Mum bought me a beautiful metal one for christmas that has a butterfly on top with purple gems in it, but I don't use it much. My dad actually gave me a new one today from his new consignment of thai gifts, it's a floppy one with pressed flowers on it, very pretty! P.S. I have a book about that hospital in Jersey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now the proud owner of a snazzy parchment-y, sepia-y looking Shakespeare bookmark courtesy of the Britis library shop (which may or may not have also seduced me into buying some very posh writing implements...) - look at how contented I am: :D!

pickwick Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I have an interesting pile of assorted bookmarks,some were gifts some holiday souvenirs and some that just caught my eye.Am using a magnetic Classic Pooh at the moment (cute) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euphorix Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I have a folded piece of squared A5 paper with the signatures of people I moved away from on it; it's a nice reminder of them and the times we shared. It's laminated, and I'm scared to death I'll lose it, as I always otherwise tend to do. Yeah, a bit of sentimentality on a bookmark. Who'd have thought?

Inver Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I have a Book Mooch bookmark in the book Second Glance I got as a bookring via Bookcrossing this week. That is why I was wondering whether to join it or not!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babe*With*Brains Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I occasionally pick up the free ones in the library. I've had 'nice' ones in the past E.G a metal cat one, a shimmery butterfly one, but i always seem to lose mine! i know this is probably alot of peoples pet hate, but i've started just turning down the edge of the page.

Kell Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I was given a beautiful Egyptian papyrus bookmark last week at work, and then the next day a book arrived for me to review - and it's set in ancient Egypt! Perfect timing, or what? The two go perfectly together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect timing, or what? The two go perfectly together. I love my papyrus bookmarks, they look beautiful and as I bought them myself when I was in Egypt, they bring back happy memories too.

jewell Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I have just bought myself some magnetic bookmarks with pics and quotes from Winnie the Pooh. I love buying stuff like that. I think if it wasn't for the fact that i want my money to buy the books on my list i'd buy a bookmark everytime i entered a book store!

blithe Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I love bookmarks - especially the fancy ones with tassels - but I collect all sorts. When I travel, I try to find some highlighting the places that I visit. They're nice souvenirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
