Bookmarks for paper books, not the electronic ones.

What do you use for marking your place in a book. I really don't like turning down corners on pages. I have one I made ages ago, but sometimes I want a couple going at once.

 

What do you use for yours?

I have some of my grandchildren that the school made up along with their class pictures.  Before I got those, I think I just tore a strip of paper to use as a bookmark.

I use favorite cards I have received from friends and family that I cut to fit.

All greeting card stores carry a variety of beautiful bookmarks

I use those cards that come in magazines for subscriptions

or just tear a piece of paper from the recycling

My favorites are the magnetic ones. I can clip them anywhere on the page (often I'll stop between paragraphs), and so they work very well!

I use bookmarks from local libraries, bookmarks I've made from greeting cards or rubber stamped, simple yarn braids or crochet strips. I also use the sticky little paper things from the office supply store (not sure I should mention the very 

well-known brand name). Also, paperclips. :-)

I am always losing/misplacing bookmarks so I don't bother to buy them or try to keep pretty ones.  I just use any old envelope.  Junk mail is fine,  or I cut a strip of the envelope.  Works for me.

My husband went into the library one day and they handed him a bookmark, so that is what I have been using.
