Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about bookmarks…What do you use to mark your place while reading? Do you have a definite preference? Do you use bookmarks, paper, or (gasp) turn down the pages? If you use bookmarks, do you have a favourite one? My response: Yes, I always use something to mark my pages. It may not be a regular bookmark, but I NEVER turn down the corner of a page! That's a big no-no! Although I do have many bookmarks, most times I use business cards. At my job (General Contractors office) I come in contact with a lot of people and they're always handing me their business cards. So I never have a shortage of them. I even use my own. I read during my lunch hour, so if I lose my bookmark, I just grab one of mine from its holder on my desk.
Am I picky about what I use? No, but lately I've been using a BookMooch card. I swapped a book awhile back and inside the package was a stack of these cards. They're plastic so they don't bend and they look really cool. Whenever I'm reading in a public place, someone always picks up the card and makes a comment about it. I guess you could say its my favorite.

One of my favorite bookmarks is a baseball game ticket. We went to a minor league game in Maine while on vacation and had a great time. It's such a nice reminder of a fun day. It's laminated so it doesn't lose it's shape.
ReplyDeleteOooh, now I really want to know what a book mooch is... although I already have a terribly feeling that I might already be one and not know it;)
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite one, I have many all over the house so one is always at my fingertips.
ReplyDeleteI forgot about business cards, and BookMooch cards, specifically!
ReplyDeleteBusiness cards. Good idea. We have a jillion of them. I probably should go through and find the neatest ones and use those.
ReplyDeleteI mainly use several bookmarks friends made in a bookmark exchange. I do have a few others I like to use. I have a few of the bookmooch cards and that is a great idea to use them. I saw on the bookmooch site that they've made bookmarks with the same design so maybe we will end up with one or two from a mooch.
