Forgotten bookmarks

[rawnee]

This is a 'blog of note' for this month which I found really interesting. I actually own 2 or 3 bookmarks that I use on a regular basis but I know Paul only has one that seems to have vanished into the ether and he uses any bit of paper or card that's lying around. I got to wondering what do you use as a bookmark? Turning down the corners of pages is a definite no-no in our house, even if it's a book you didn't particularly enjoy.

I have a fabric bookmark with a hedgehog on it that Gemma gave me, a fae bookmark that Colette gave me and a plastic doggy bookmark that I liked the look of so I bought it, but I don't like reading more than one book at once and feel guilty for not using them all.

I have a desperate need to collect more but my bank account can't stand any more spending at the moment....hmmmm, wonder what I'll get for my birthday??? Money perhaps?

Cool! I use whatever is closest to hand. I guess that's why I check all books before they leave the house just in case it's something embarrassing or expensive. *lol*

The last book I read had one of my business cards in as a bookmark, and a note from Grom saying "I love you" which he sneaked in. I left the business card bookmark in it when I passed it at the bookcrossing meet earlier today.

I must admit, if I forget to take a bookmark with me I end up using post-its or the leaflets out of my meds cos I'm too lazy to go and get one lol.

I did something else unforgiveable the other night though. I put the book down but it was still open and it was bugging me so much I got up to find my bookmark lol. I'm so anal!
