everydayxangels Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 my bookmark, I use a notecard. I have pretty assorted colors of ROYGB and pick a color that matches the cover of the book the most. I put the title and who its by on the top line, date started on the next, and the page i end on every night. then on the bottom, date finished. Once I have a book completed, I file the notecard alphabetically by title i'm a geek. i am aware of this. Quote

Acesare* Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 currently, I am using a bbokmark that amazon put in with one of my book orders. However, i am anticipating a nice unique bookmark from someone on the forum. Someone still hasn't informed someone on their preferences for said bookmark Quote
thebottle Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 I use a small leather bookmark. When it was new it would stain the pages if I left it in for over a week without moving it, but now it doesn't anymore. Quote
mrstrecool Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 I make bookmarks on the computer with pictures of things I like on, eg David Boreanaz!!!!! My local bookshop always puts a free bookmark in with their details on when you buy a book so I've also got a few of those. Quote
Wraith* Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 My expired ID card is jammed in my current book at the moment lol Quote
Sofia Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 my daughte printed out a mulan bookmark that I am using at the moment Quote
Polka Dot Rock Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 When I was little, I had to be restrained from buying bookmarks as I couldn't see one without wanting it To be fair, I still use at least three of them! There's a pretty fish one (it's actually an illustration from a children's book but I can't remember what it is) and two Garfield ones: an Aquarius one and, one of my faves, a purple bookmark with a chunk 'bitten' out of it with Garfield thinking "The book's not bad, but the bookmark is DELICIOUS". My favourite bookmark is one I picked up years ago in Exeter when I bought Maggie O'Farrell's After You'd Gone. It's a very thin holographic one, with a circle at the top that shows a 3D rose. I'm weirdly attached to it, I think, because of After You'd Gone - I was so blown away by it, that the bookmark is kind of a reminder of incredible some writing can be. I really worry if I can't find it! At the moment, I'm into orange for some reason. I'm using one my mum made for me when I was little, out of a Frosties box (strange, we didn't eat Frosties!) that was covered with orange paper and has Animals of Farthing Wood stickers that spell 'AMY'. The other is my newest one, a leather(ette) one from the Eden Project. Isn't it strange how you randomly choose which ones you regulary use? I have others but I tend to use the same ones over and over again. Quote
Wraith* Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 I need an actual bookmark. Can one just get them from Smiths? I've seen them in Waterstones but I begrudge paying £5.99 for something like that. Quote
Polka Dot Rock Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 They should be miles cheaper than that! Go to a charity shop and they usually sell new ones there, like at Oxfam. Or make one from the lid of a cereal packet, glue, coloured paper and stickers. Then say your nephew/sister/creepy kid from next door made it for you. Quote
Rosie Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 my bookmark, I use a notecard. I have pretty assorted colors of ROYGB and pick a color that matches the cover of the book the most.

Once I have a book completed, I file the notecard alphabetically by title i'm a geek. i am aware of this. What a good idea! I have two bookmarks I'm using at the moment - there are countless others in various drawers and boxes around the house - but my two favourites are one with pressed flowers inside a plastic cover with a dangling tassle that the cat likes to play with and the other a leather one I bought years ago at Bosworth Battlefield in Leicestershire.

Wraith* Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Everyone would know that wasn't true as I'm allergic to children. Hmmm bookmark shopping this afternoon methinks. And it's nearly payday too I really want a Wraith bookmark Quote
Kell Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Everyone would know that wasn't true as I'm allergic to children.LOL - i use this on a regular basis as a way of getting out of every havnig to be around sprogs. Quote
Acesare* Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I really want a Wraith bookmark I could sell you a handmade Wraith bookmark, although I really need to get on and finish the ones from the competition (makes mental note to stop spending so much b**dy time online!) Quote
Pilgrim Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 my daughter printed out a mulan bookmark that I am using at the moment I like this idea of printing them out. And if I could use both sides of the paper, it would be even better. That would take care of the thickness problem in paperbacks. Quote
Wraith* Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 LOL - i use this on a regular basis as a way of getting out of every havnig to be around sprogs. It's true whenever I'm around SKs nieces and nephew I break out in bad cases of brokeness... I could sell you a handmade Wraith bookmark, although I really need to get on and finish the ones from the competition (makes mental note to stop spending so much b**dy time online!) Is there anything you can't handmake?? Quote
Acesare* Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Is there anything you can't handmake?? I can lend a hand to anything! Quote
Bunny Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 I used to use the folded over post it not but now use a friends business card Quote
The Library Nook Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 I use anything that is laying on my desk, post its, receipts, torn bits of scrap paper, take away menus- I am not fussy! Quote
Weave Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 I am using a very pretty one at the moment, thanks to PP... Quote
Purple Poppy Posted February 3, 2007 Author Posted February 3, 2007 I am just experimenting basically Paula. I have lots of ideas, but I need practice to make them work. Glad you like them anyway. Pp Quote
Freewheeling Andy Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Right now it's a British Airways "Change For Good" envelope. I suppose I should be feeling guilty for not giving money to the poor, but it's just the first thing that came to hand. Quote
Betty27 Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 At the moment I'm using a council tax bill! Very strange, but it happened to be the best thing around when I started reading my current book. I also have a nice blue one with pretty embroidery, this one was given to me by a friend when she came back from her holiday in Turkey. Another I have (wondering where right now ) is a metal petal. Only just learned in this thread what it's called even though I have one myself! Mine is in the shape of the letter B, my initial. My sister gave it to to me, and I really like the look of it, but it slightly damages the page sometimes. Most of the time I use a postcard though and not even a themed one, but I like that idea, Ronny! Quote
