...what do you you use as a bookmark...?

[LightShinesInTheDarkness]

save me from corner folder-overs....

parking tickets (the ones that you buy to park, not the ones given by wardens!).
A clean tissue.
Freebie ones picked up at the counter in Waterstones.
My packet of contraceptive pills have been known to work quite well too.

I use a simple origami goat

Empty envelopes, the corner ripped off a newspaper, the outside wrapper from Green & Blacks chocolate, drawings my DD1 has made for me to use as bookmarks, receipts and even, occasionally, the beautiful metal bookmark my MIL gave me .

I am SO going to make an origami goat.....

Hmm. Sounded sarky. Should've added

I want an Origami goat how do i make one?

dunno

but here is a video showing you how to fold a towel into the shape of a goat?

Wow look at this Goat

I have several book marks bought for me in the past, some of which I use, but normally I use the sticky label that priced the book folded over on itself (so not sticky anymore IYGWIM), or fold the page over.

ear buds work quite well too I have found

ear buds? Please tell me they are clean!

nothing. I don't do foldovers either, I usually just re-find the page by holding the book loosely until it falls open - most of the time it's about right.

Do what thumb witch does

thumbw/twims - can't do that, can never remember the number and invariably end up reading over the same bit twice!

Either remember the page number roughly (can flick back and forth to get exact place, unless I am pregnant then I have no memory ), or any random bit of paper.

I have bookmarks somewheer

Freeby bookmarks. Bits of coloured paper with holes the shape of Hello Kitty in them (courtesy of DD). Leaflets. I used to be able to remember the page I was on in about three books concurrently, without fail, now I can't remember one.

Tag from new lingerie

Am I really sad to use a proper bookmark?

girlandboy - really pretty. Nope, not sad. Organised.

I use a post-it note.

I don't like those ones, they always seem to damage the pages too much for my liking.

My ideal bookmark is a receipt as it makes it interesting next time you read the book (leave it in there)

I found a mothercare one from 2003 in Jane Eyre

Nothing. I always seem to remember where I am. I do like books with those tassels though. I expect they have a name.

I use half a photo with ds on. Other half did have me on but he used that for making a family tree picture and it is such a sweet photo of him I couldn't bear to throw it away!

I work in a library and have found some truly hideous things in returned library books.

The worst being......bacon rind and......thick yellow toe nails!
