Welcome to Gaia! ::

When I was younger I used to dogear. I don't do that anymore. I don't think I can do it. To mar a book (especially if it isn't mine) is unthinkable. I am always buying bookmarks, and I use them...when I can find them. I normally use scrap paper but if I will be reading the book again in a few minutes I just remember the page number. It kills me to see someone dogear a page. That is one of my main fears when letting someone read my books. Bending the pages tears up the book and that is sad. If it is your book go for it, but keep you fingers away from my books

I use anything and everything around me. I have one main bookmark (a pretty one that I got as a present), and I used to have another one, but the string broke off of it, and it made me sad, so I haven't used it since. I also like folding up my [semi-long] library slips and using those as bookmarks. They're quite durable.

I also tend to put the cover of a second book inside part of the page of the book I'm reading, if I'm not too far into the book.

you are so lucky to have a friend that makes you perslon bookmarks, i wish i had a friend that does that.

and same here when it comes to dogear, i would never, NEVER EVER dogear.
its like ripping out the page while your at it

I've started taking to using old movie ticket stubs in order to bookmark my place in whatever I am reading. As if I didn't have a drawer full of bookmarks only a few feet away already.

I would really like to start making my own bookmarks again, however. I enjoyed doing that too.

I'll use absolutely anything I can find. Fairly clean candy wrappers, playing cards, index cards, ticket stubs, receipts, little pieces of paper, foil, saran wrap... As long as it doesn't dogear the book, I'm good.

I always lose those store-bought bookmarks. Paper works better for me. Like, right now, I'm using the ticket stupid from the Da Vinci exhibit I went to. I've been using it for a couple of weeks. Had it been an actual bookmark, it wouldn't have lasted more than a day or two.

I have many store bought bookmarks, but when I'm reading a book the only one I seem to use is a paper one I used for an English textbook a few years ago. Either that or a tissue, whatever is nearest to me... sweatdrop

I'm using my old store-bought bookmarks again. One of them shows a romantic embrace with the quote "Love conquers all" at the bottom. It is used to hold my place in The Silence of the Lambs. I have another of a unicorn containing the text "Find the magic within yourself." It is currently being used to hold my place in Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise.

The last bookmark that I bought was of Sesshoumaru. I don't think there's really any need to gain more additions since I already possess so many... unless, of course, I came across a fabulous bookmark that I just had to have!

I usually use whatever's around. Papers and stuff. Right now, I found a bookmark that says 'lose my place and I'll re-arrange your face'. It is excellent ;}
