I still use a Xena bookmark that I bought in 1997. It's still in the plastic and has held up through hundreds of books. It's one of my favorite things ❤️

I use an index card with the book name on it. Find something good? Write the page number and a word or two about what you noticed. It's useful when reading books you might want to return to as references.
Sometimes I take a photo of the page when I get a new book and don’t have any bookmarks with me.
Love your PC hardware piece for a bookmark!
My fav is more than 30 years old and has been through many wonderfull books with me. It is made of leather and shows a hedgehog under a starry sky.
I bet it’s beautiful. I love old worn leather
These are awesome.
I just try to find a magic card that shares a theme with whatever the book is
That’s just awesome! Especially since I read mostly fantasy books 📚
The stiletto seems like it'd be a little clunky, but that wood burned one from Hawaii is pretty damn awesome.
I'm still a barbaric dog-earer though, don't judge. I just can't use a bookmark without losing it periodically. When I have a book I don't want to dog ear, I actually just jot down my page number in a note on my phone. lol
I leave bookmarks in library books for people to find and have as their own. In the past I have used everything from sugar packets and stir stick from coffee shops to gum wrappers I found at the bottom of my book bag 🤣
I tried to change at one point, and for quite a while I did, but I eventually realized that I enjoy reading more when dog earing the pages. It's like the book leaves it's mark on me, and I leave mine on it.
I have a few book with broken spines and dog eared pages a long with stains. We loved and well used book. 📚 books are meant to be devoured.
I think I own one or maybe two bookmarks and I have that same Hawaii one
