What do you use for a bookmark? I remember two things my mom used to use. A folded piece of the foil from a cigarette package. (Not sure if Americans will know what I mean.) Or a folded paper from a piece of dentyne chewing gum.

A square of toilet paper. I'm always prepared.

But do you have a square to spare?
We sure do!
I currently use nothing as I read almost exclusively on a Kindle. No need for a bookmark.
I remember as a kid we used to snip off one of the bottom corners of an envelope at an angle and use that for a bookmark. Nothing as creative as these, but this is what I am talking about:

I use the tag off a clothing purchase...like one of these.

Very chic, but you should buy American........
Let me go looks in books.
Wolves has a receipt from the wine store in it.
Some old paperbacks are just plain ticked with folded edge. Running away now.

I've used gum wrappers (Dentyne really makes the book smell like cinnamon) and receipts. Straw wrappers, photos, and even Goody powder wrappers.
Any slip of paper. Can be a receipt or a tag off of clothes. I refuse to fold down a page. I don't even like putting a book face down, open. I don't like to crack open the spine.
We sure do!

I wasn't sure if cigarettes had the same foil around then there.
Here are some bookmarks my granddaughter made. I helped her with folding the first one and she did the rest.
The dream catcher is for her step mom who is native. The fox is a thank you gift to my sister for giving her a bunch of cross stitch kits. The decorating was all her own, not from any picture.
The receipt from the book purchase or a yellow post-it.
...I have a thin flat piece of bamboo, with two carved bas relief elephants at the top.....
I am usually careful, but then it just gets read. And re-read.
It made me feel better when I heard that Mr. King likes to see a beat up book to sign.

My favorite is one I got from CJ here a few years ago playing SKT. But I will use any paper that's nearby if I need something.
