Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about 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 favourite one?
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your opinion in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks.
When I used to catch the bus to uni every day I would use my bus ticket as a bookmark. As I caught four buses and therefore had four tickets, I always had plenty on hand, plus they were just big enough to jot down a little note on the back. I miss my little ticket markers, I would clean out my bag at the end of the week, and collect all the little notes I had made.
Now that I don't catch the bus I tend to use bookmarks. While I'll use whatever I can get my hands on if I don't have an actual bookmark, I really love a pretty bookmark. This has led to me building up a bit of a collection in the past couple years, especially seeing as I always pick up promotional bookmarks from the library or business ones from bookstores whenever they have new ones. I was working on a collection of Harry Potter bookmarks when the last movie came out, but I'm still missing Neville, Delores and Kingsley.
I like to pick out a new bookmark from my tin for each new book I read (except for bookclub books where I use the pretty one my friend Wendy made me), but at the moment, my favourite is definately my "Storykeeper" bookmark, it's just so pretty. I've been alternating with that one at the moment.

I've moved away from paper bookmarks. Here's my answer.
Musing Monday 26
I liked this!
Musing through bookmarking
I may get scolded for this, but I dog-ear a lot of my books, write all over them with notes, etc. I use a lot of paper bookmarks and receipts as well. There's also a lot of weird stuff I use, like bits of (unused) toilet paper, etc... you can read more at my post:

I don't use real bookmarks but instead I grab whatever is handy.
I'm eclectic in everything, including my bookmarks, apparently. I'm noticing a particular pattern in my life!
My Muse!
