Prompt: Bookmark, scrap paper, or dog-ear?
At this point in my life, the answer is usually just, "Kindle." That said, when I
am reading a paper book, I tend to mark my place with some kind of bookmark - frequently a card of some order. (I have an odd little collection of playing-card sized cards: some with art on them, some that came with other things like D&D figure sets, some remnants of card games that Secondborn opened and scattered in years past.) So, not usually purpose-built bookmarks as such, but not exactly scrap paper either.
They sound like perfect little accidental bookmarks!
ReplyDeleteI use pretty much anything that's to hand when I need one - preference is definitely a bookmark, and I'm actually planning on buying some more at the weekend after payday. But I've used postcards, receipts, tickets.. anything other than dog-earing!
ReplyDeleteAt the library book store I go to there a whole basket of bookmarks for the taking. Once I got a few bags full of books the person at the check out grab a bunch of bookmarks and stuff them inside on of my bags. That how I end up with free bookmarks.
ReplyDeleteIf I find a bookmark then I find pace of paper to place inside a book.
I’ve been know to use what’s around me…I was going through my books when I moved and found a Pokémon card from 1998 that I found on the floor…my oldest is 29, so YOU do the math! #teambookmark

DeleteKindle too, but I tend to use scrap paper. I've not owned a proper bookmark in years.
ReplyDeleteEr... I've been known to dog ear, but only in my 'here take all my books' collection. Also read a few books so hard the binding broke 😅
