I heart bookmarks(my favorite one is dark green suede with a silver frog at the top), and I've even got quite a few of them lying around...somewhere...I just don't use them so much. Bookmarks are nice to look at, but they tend to be too bulky or too long or something like that, and they fall out of paperbacks too easily. I used to never use bookmarks; instead I memorized the page number. But, my memory isn't so great x.x, and I've started using whatever's on hand(most times a hair pin or a piece of notebook paper). I don't like to use anything that'll damage the book in any way.

If I bought the book, I use the receipt. If I borrowed the book from the library, I use the slip they give us to remind us when it's due. Other than that, I use random pieces of paper and bus transfers biggrin

I have a bunch of bookmarks, plastic-y ones, metal ones, paper ones, but I rarely seem to remember to use them.
After I've been forced to close my book, I'm usually too lazy to go do my drawer and dig one out. sweatdrop
So I usually just remember the page number I was on. Sometimes it works, and sometimes I spend about 5 minutes just flipping through the book trying to see if I can recognize any of the text on a certain page.
Though lately, I've tried these little book clips that have magnets on them...so they don't fall out of the book or anything.

Just anything around. Once my boyfriend picked up my book and opened it to where I was at and found a little card that said " The Male Brain" and it showed a brain with a romote cotrol and a whole bunch of other sexest things on it. Yeah, it wasn't mine it was my friend Bethany's but of course he didn't believe me. We just laughed it off though.

I use receipts but I'm a fiend for dogearing. It just happens to be what's there with me at that moment in time. I always tend to look the bookmarks no matter how much I try to keep them. I also use the paper band around the hardcover books for those.

I usually use anything thin that wont harm the spine of the book. When it comes to new books, I don't have to use bookmarks because when I don't remember the page, it opens from itself on the exact page where I stopped the previous evening/night/morning.
Oh and I never dogear.

I make my own bookmarks out of glue, markers, crayons, and one of those spacemakers pencil boxes. its creative and very useful. You can also add beads and other small items. plus if you spray it with perfume or something then it wont smell as bad....

I've used pieces of paper, receipts, real bookmarks, tickets, tissues, hairpins, barrettes, plastic bags...whatever's closest to my hand when someone tells me to shut the book. (Half the time, I ignore them anyway.)

I use paint-sample slips, mostly from Wal-Mart. I look at the color names, then pick a slip with a name that somehow makes me think of the book (its characters, sitting, plot, cover art--anything). It works really, really well for me, and it's free. heart

My favorite thing to use as a bookmark are the ones I draw myself. I start with a blank, white, hard paper surplus bookmark you can buy in big packs at craft shops and teacher supply stores. Then as I read, I doodle things I'm reading about as I go along. My favorite thing to doodle with is a pack of thin Crayola markers. By the end of the book, the bookmark is usually full on both sides. Then, when I'm finished with the book, I write the name of the book on the bookmark and I add it to my collection that I keep in a shoebox. I have a couple hundred. 3nodding

I was really bored one night, so I decided to apply my tablet skills (or lack-thereof) to making a bookmark.  It turned out pretty well, so I'm planning on doing it for my next book as well.

I normally read on the train so quite often I use the train ticket. Recently though, I cut out some of the pictures on my calender for last year and mounted them on card. They're the perfect size for bookmarks, they're pretty and I don't mind too much if I loose them because effectively they were free.

Fairgrass I never wrote or highlighted in mine (even my college books), never cracked a spine, and if I bent a page by accident, I'd stack like 10 books on top of the offending one just to straighten it out again.
That sounds an awful lot like me. I used to have literally thousands of bookmarks and now i can't find a single one to save my life. I'll use anything to mark my page as long as it wont damage the book.
