I used to when I was younger but now that I use my kindle so often I don't anymore. If I'm reading a physical book it's more than likely from the library so I usually just use the library receipt since it's normally already in the book anyways.

I always end up using the receipt that came with the book.

Oh yeah....I love em :) I always try to use one that fits the book. Currently I'm into the ones with magnets! I also always bring some home from my travels and it's the favorite presents of my friends for me...I'm litterally swimming in book markers but I just can't throw em away:)

I use things such as movie tickets or letters at bookmarks. It makes me smile every time I open my book and see it :lol:

I started out with a handful but now have over 450 bookmarks. I need to pare down!

No, I usually just use one or two of my favorites (depends on how many books I read at the same time).

I personally love bookmarks. I'm especially drawn to the ones with charms lately. I bought a bronze mermaid with sea star and shell charms, really cute,

You can virtually use anything as a book marker. I sometimes also use anything that lies around and seems fitting. I once got this really awesome tag from some shirt I bought and used it as a book marker:)

I was given this book maker as a gift, it is two magnets held together by a thin backing (mine is of styrofoam) which allows it to fold over the page without damaging it. It is also small enough that you can place it directly on the line you left off on. It is amazing and I have used it for years. So no more collecting for me I guess.

Do you know of where I could find the bookmark like the one you described? Sounds awesome.

I grab any book mark I can find. Sadly, I always end up losing them in my books. Once I was re-reading a book I hadn't read since sixth grade and I found an old piece of paper I had used as a book mark. It was a Doctor's note from when I had pneumonia :P

I have a couple of handful, about 20 or 30 and I don’t really use all of them, but I like them and I don’t know what it is about it, but whenever I see a bookmark, I have to get them!
My weekend is all booked!
