Bookmarks

What do you use to mark your place while reading? Do you have a definite preference? Do you use bookmarks, paper, or (gasp) turn down the pages? If you use bookmarks, do you have a favorite one?


I started collecting bookmarks around 4th grade. Somewhere between college and grad school, I stopped using bookmarks and just remembered where I last read. This was actually pretty easy considering I didn't read many pleasure books during those years.

Now I currently use bookmarks. I started collecting NYC postcards and I used those for bookmarks for awhile. Recently, I started buying bookmarks from Sacchi. I prefer using bookmarks with motivational quotes written on them. I have about 15 or so and I try to use each one, however I do have my favorites:

1. "Never, never, never quit." ~Winston Churchill
2. "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." ~Eleanor Roosevelt
3. "It's never too late to be what you might have been." ~George Eliot
4. "Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible." ~Anonymous
5. "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've always imagined." ~Henry David Thoreau
