I seen this asked somewhere before and thought Id ask our kmc readers.

I think that a nice bookmark adds to the pleasure of reading. I have a real cute puppy and on the string is a hanging bone.

I was wondering what everybody else use as a bookmark? Do some of you simply fold the corner of the page ?

Paola
NOOOOOO!!!! folding the corner of the page is a sin!!! stick out tongue
Anyway I had this beautiful blue metal bookmark with an angel on it..... and I lost it!!!!! I was about to read some Wylde stuff and I hadn't 'cause I lost my bookmark mad I won't read anything until I find it http://www.killermovies.com/forums/images/moresmilies/schmoll.gif

VallejoKid707
i use a real bookmark with chinese writings on it.

Rebel Racer
I use anything within my reach, be it sheet of paper, a movie case, or even another book. anything goes. lol

Rebel Racer
oh yeah, i also usually just fold the book on the page i have, face down, screwing up my book, but saving me the time of reaching for a bookmark.

badkittykitty
Eeek! *faints*

Rebel Racer
LOL! I had a feeling bkk would jump on that, but its totally true.

badkittykitty

I have found my self without my favorite bookmark and will use like a scrap of paper...I used a leaf once.

Rebel Racer

Vampiree
michail bulhakow - he's a great russian writer big grin it's my favorite book big grin in poland you HAVE TO read that when you're a junior in high school
it has many plots mainly it's about the davil, who's making his annual fiest in moscow and he need a chic for the ball so he chooses one margaret, it's the history of margaret and 'master's' (he's a writer) love and satans almighty crew containing: behemot- a talking cat, warionucha - a vampire, azazello - a demon an one more who's a demon too but i can't remember his name
there's an important sub plot about uhm... the guy that decided that jesus must be uhm... corssed (not sure how to call him in english but in polish we call him poncjus pilat) and how buhlakow thinks the bible history really went
it's a really good story sometimes halarious, sometimes sad you should check if you don't have it in your library

Paola
okie Vampiree thanx!! sounds interesting!!

in Mexico we call your poncjus pilat.. Poncio Pilato.. hehe I don't know in english.... maybe Poncius.... ah!! who cares??

Vampiree

tptmanno1

I use a Garfield one that I got 6 years ago, it says:
"Touch my book and the teddy bear gets it"
and it's got Garfield holding a banana to Pookie's head.

Vampiree
awwwwwwwwwwwww love i adore garfield! i have the majority of garfield comic books big grin

mechmoggy
What a great question BKK!

I don't use proper book marks, but I do have two special little keep-sakes that I use. I've usually got two books on the go, one's usually a study book and the other for pleasure....

1. The first is half of the aeroplane boarding pass (that they give you when you embark) from my honeymoon flight to the Maldives with Mrs.MM.

2. The second is an envelope that once contained an invitation to a close friends wedding. I kept it cus it makes me laugh, he posted it with my nickname written on it. It say, "To Cat & Emma". big grin

amity75
I used to work in my local library at weekends and in one of the returned books someone had left a slice of bacon that they'd been using as a bookmark.

Vampiree
oh ewwwwwww!!!! poor, poor book!!!! that's why i hate that kind of ppl!

BOPRecruit 16
i always use business cards from my favorite places b/c the are flatter than some decorative bookmarks. they won't dent or run the pages.

Phoenix
I'm really bad - I fold over the pages!

EOWYN3
It's funny, b/c I buy nice bookmarks, but I usually end up using receipts or any other kind of paper that happens to be nearby.

Vampiree
you fold the pages??? *points to phoenix* 'die' *phoenix dies*

Phoenix
*dies*

Vampiree
big grin

Phoenix
sick does that look kinda deadlike?

Vampiree
almost big grin hey! dead don't talk!

BarmyBrummie
I use one of my dirty socks. The smells so bad and stong that it keeps the book from closing so i know what page i'm on!!

Lord Soth
My mind. I don't need a bookmark, I just remember the page# big grin

elvenlady
I USE MY LEGOLAS AND GIMLI BOOKMARK(VERY PRETTY). LEGOLAS IS IN THE BACK, GIMLI IN FRONT OF HIM WITH HIS AX. ON A BROWN BACKGROUND. THERE IS STRING AT THE TOP AND AT THE END OF THE STRING THERE IS A LEAF BROACH LIKE IN THE MOVIE stick out tongue zorro bunny

BOPRecruit 16

Lord Soth
Dog-earing is evil mad

Ushgarak
When I can find it, I have this cool magnetic bookmark thingy.

Right now I cannot, so I am using a small credit card booklet...

RonyLeBeau

shanie623
I just tear up a piece of paper from something useless and use it as the bookmark. After I finish the book, i throw it away. Haha big grin

JackSparrowLuvr

airangel429
I've been wanting The Hobbit for quite awhile and my husband bought me this really nice hard back version with a case and he also bought me a LOTR bookmark. It's a Rohan one and it's pretty nice too!

DBZFan
5 months ago I let my cousin borrow an easy reader, he never gave it back to me!!!!

Silver Surfer
I use 5 dollar bills! *laughs*

RonzMyBoy
Things I Use~
1 flip the book over
2 free book mark from the library
3 whatever the heck i pick up
And folding the pages is like a huge no-no!

Writer86
I often flip the book over. I also use receipts from the library if I have one around.

hotsauce6548
*talks in rich, snobby voice* Well, I often use 20's, 50's or maybe 100's to use for my bookmark. Now, would you like a drink in the chatuea?

beer Thanks, alter ego! Nah, I'm just kiddin. I usually use a tissue... lol embarrasment

Hypernova
I use bus tickets or tear a small piece of paper lying around.

crazy_c
i'm reading a really battered version of the stand at the moment and pages are continually falling out so i just use those. happy

big gay kirk
I used to have a couple of hundred leather bookmarks from places i'd been, but when my wife left, she took them with her... so now i use a bit of junk mail in my bathroom book (currently The Amber Spyglass) an old receipt in my lorry book (Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy) and a picture of my son in my bedroom book (Mountaineering and leadership...)

Darth Revan
I use movie ticket stubs, post-it notes, the inside part of the slip cover thingy on hard backs, basically whatever's lying around... Or nothing at all.

Baylin
Anything handy at the time. I DO NOT fold page corners over (That just makes me soooo mad!) At the moment I've got supermarket receipts stuck in the 3 or so books I'm reading.

§pearhead
I'll either just flip the book so it's open and facedown, but I'll usually use something like a pen or marker and hope that it doesn't roll out.

SpikeSpiegel
I just bought a new bookmark to replace that one. It's metal and the to is shaped like a western revolver (I thought it fitting to use with my Dark Tower books)

<<Solo>>
I just rip off a piece of paper and use it as a book mark.

dragonpisces272
i just find whatever's lying around and put it in

Polly
Post-it notes

folding corners=BAD!!

Raz Jr
i just rip out the pages as i go, so I just turn to page #1 and I'm where I left off smile

Darth Revan
laughing laughing

Raz Jr
i was serious yes

Piggle Humsy
I was gonna start this thread but I searched and found this one! big grin

so yes I am interested in what people use as bookmarks so if you haven't posted then post!
or even if you have post again! yes

I am using a Postcard at the moment that says "keep music evil" laughing out loud

I always like to use something complete...as in I can never use a torn bit of paper or something that doesn't have straight edges if it's meant to.. I suppose that's the OCD in me.

My friend told me bookmarks are for wimps..coz he just remembers the page number.. roll eyes (sarcastic)

Yes I have to agree Folding the corners is a total sin!!
Don't do it! nup

laughing out loud

sai12
I use anything that's within reach almost. Scraps of paper, evenvelopes, other books, notebooks....the list goes on. Though sometimes I do use a real bookmark...And I will NEVER fold the corner, that's terrible!!

Movie_Geek_
I NEVER fold!

I have a book marks in all different books that I leave in a book when I am done then pull out and put in the new book I am reading. I have a few of them because I read so much.

Clovie
it depends
usually i just keep it open...
but sometime it is not working..so i'm putting inside whatever...
a pen.. some paper...ermm..recently..i'm using some wool (?) thing i've made. smart

DarkCanadian
I never use bookmarks. I just memorize the page number.

Clovie
oh..and that bacardi thingie i had in a drink once embarrasment
