Book Marks

phenomsmom · May 16, 2007

So I know a lot of us read but I was wondering how you mark your pages. I recently bought a pretty pressed flower book mark. I used to use sticky notes. Or I folded the corder of the page (I know you damage the books that way but normally they are passed around and around anyway). What do you use?

I used to have a problem with bookmarks. I'd chew on them, fold them or otherwise destroy them while reading.

A few years ago somebody gave me some bookmarks made of fabric. (she got them from a missionary, they had been made by some artisan in Africa) They're pretty and I can fold them as much as I want and it doesn't damage them. (I managed to stop the chewing though)

Other times I use sticky notes, especially for school readings.

I'm a corner folder, my bookmarks always manage to fall out

I have some cute lady bug ones that clip onto the pages that shouldn't fall out. And they are adorable!! I think I got them at Barnes & Noble

I use bookmarks...I have a lot of them because I usually have several books going...sometimes I even use a receipt if I'm desperate

I had a kitty one that I believe was kitty-snatched!! I'll find it under the couch or fridge one day

I use either post its (for school related stuff) or my business cards. I have 500 of them and any place I've worked at I NEVER run out.

icklemiss21 · May 16, 2007

I use everything from business cards to actual book marks to gum wrappers to corner folding

I use bookmarks, but I usually remember where I was in the book when I stopped reading -- it's not like I memorize the page, but if the bookmark falls out, I almost always find the page again really quickly.

I use a bookmark with an inspirational message on it..I forget what it says though

abymummy · May 16, 2007

I don't need to bookmark...one of the cats will do it for me

cocoalily · May 16, 2007

I'm an avid corner folder... I chew on my bookmarks constantly. I suppose that's better then chewing my nails though, isn't it?

I use bookmarks. I can't stand to fold pages!

miagi's_mommy · May 16, 2007

I usually just use a receipt or a sticky note.

this is what i always do, unless i'm borrowing the book from someone. since i usually purchase mine, i dogear. otherwise, my sister gave me a nice cat-themed metal bookmark that i use.

I use a piece of paper generally, usually the print out from the library telling me when the books are due back.

Good way to remember when they're due back.

I used to chew on bookmarks when I was younger, now I just use any spare piece of paper that's at hand. Even if I bought the books I couldn't bring myself to fold corners, I see that as ruining something I spent money on.

gailc · May 16, 2007

I will fold corners, used the book jacket if its a hard cover or sometimes just flip the open book upside down. While I have bookmarkers I rarely use them!!

katl8e · May 16, 2007

I use the advertising freebies from the library. I had a cute kitty bookmark, with a tassel but, some four-legged thief made off with it.

tigerontheprowl · May 16, 2007

I just remember the page number. I read quite frequently.
