Horror Aficionados discussion

I just got the best bookmark ever, at least for me, combining my two obsessions.

"Zombies are Crap at Knitting"

when worlds collide and all...........

I love bookmarks, I usually feel guilty just using the library check out card or a receipt as a bookmark, it seems to disrespect the book. I have some pretty fancy ones, usually egyptian or Frank Lloyd Wright in nature.

How do you feel about using bookmarks in books?

I've been using the same 3, unfilled medical scripts for my bookmarks. Actual bookmarks tend to be a little fat for my tastes, I prefer a piece of paper.

i use a Wizard of Oz bookmark right now. My favorite bookmarks are those Book Rugs. The look like mini-carpet runners and are really soft. Best thing about them: no ribbon that my cat can play with and lose my place.

aha, i recently got a bookmark that has beaded tassels on it and it drives me nuts, swishing around and getting in my way.

Paint sample cards make great bookmarks.

I found a few that are magnetic, and fold over the page. This is great because books go everywhere with me, and the markers don't fall out. Plus, at least 2 are Macaws, my favorite!

I use a piece of A4 paper folded 4 times , to make like a little notepad , this tends to be covered in info about book/authors to check out , thinks I need to do , and any web sites I come across when I`m out and about .(this piece of paper get renewed and rewritten every week or so)

I use photos of my rabbits for bookmarks.

My Secret Santa Lori sent me a pretty one encased in a plastic cover, and my SIL got me a similar set with caricatures of famous writers: Shakespeare, Austen, Joyce Carol Oates, Hemingway, and Poe. I love them because they stay in place and stick out at the top so I can see where I am.

i have these, My only complaint is there's a picture on the back and the front so i can never remember which side of the page i'm on

I don't have anything flashy just a plain old bookmark I picked up at the library for free. It's from Vampire Kisses: Blood Relatives and says "Sink Your Teeth into a Good Book"

I always lose them so it's never the same thing for very long.

Lol, me too. Though, I only have one that has the same pic on both sides. When I use that one, I try to stop on the same side of the book each time. The other ones have the bird (or puppy, I have a few of those) on one side, and then advertisement for the company on the other.

I have a bookmark collection (which is rather large from working in the library for 11 years!), but I keep coming back to the magnetic ones.

Amen

lol, i used to then i realized it was too mena for my books. Plus I have some old SK so I don't want to tear them up.

Kelly, dogearing a page is a no-no. I just can't do it. It's like I can hear the paper screaming when I start to fold it over.

My mom dog ears, but she is usually reading resource material and generally has a highlighter and post-it flags out as well. In that case, I give her slack, but no one wants to loan her regular fiction book because of the dog-ear habit.

Always use a book mark. The "faded" one I'm using right now is one I found in a book....right before hunting season last year....A pic of an Elk!

Is that to remind you not to shoot one, Lee?

wow, sore subject. my husband ( a none reader) is adamant about not dogearing, but he lays books down open faced, this seems way more destructive. i look at dogearing as a little mark of love(anyone buying that?)

lol, nope over time i have mended my ways after seeing a lot of books damaged.

Kelly wrote: "i look at dogearing as a little mark of love(anyone buying that?)"

Not at all, it's just as bad as the open face down crime. *shutters*

In keeping with my abusive book habits, I also lay them down open faced.
Uh but I would NEVER do that to a library book Tressa... Don't revoke my card...

Laying a book face down does a lot of damage if it sits that way for even a few hours. You cretins.

Steph, I'll have a security guard take your card from you when you come by tomorrow. Eleven, right?

No, Kelly, we're never buying what you're selling.

In the south we say 'leven.

Hee...Hee...My son ( he's 20 ) got his first elk last fall, 6X6 bull. Great dad moment! Also, venison tastes wonderful!

Yes it does!!! I'm a really big Buffalo addict too.

You should be a proud papa, Lee. :-/

I have a Taylor Lautner bookmark but only because my brother bought it for me for Christmas!!

Yikes, I would have to give that one away, I don't like the looks of any of those kids.

They all look like they should be taking my order at Wendy's....
What a bunch of sourpusses, Stewart almost always looks lobotomized.

I did not read the books or see movie, so cant comment on either of those, but those actors, icky.

Bingo! Dana about Stewart and the lobotomy. I cannot stand to watch her in movies. How did she get such a coveted role?

I've sometimes use holiday postcards, as they always make me smile :) otherwise it has to be posh soft leather bookmarks - something about the smell and feel, but not in a kinky way ;)

mmmmmmmmmmmm i love leather

I haven't a clue, she is not capable of any facial expression, even when they take her publicity shots, red carpet shots, she is just sullen and dead.

For some reason I have an aversion to bookmarks, so I just try to remember where I am.

I tend to misplace bookmarks all the time but it doesn't stop me form getting new ones, I had a few from the Golden Compass movie and some cool Halloween magnetic ones.. and I never ever dog ear it or lay it open, most of the time I dress them in these little slip on plastic BroDart covers I have in all sizes

I use mini post-its otherwise I lose my place.

I agree on Stewart and yet I still want to see the Runaways movie, odd

I can't stand Stewart or Pattison at all! Lautner well he can take his shirt off anytime it needs to be washed! :P

Trace, you and my 11-year-old niece has the hots for Taylor, lol. He's one of those actors who looks too perfect to be human. Does one hair ever stray out of place?

Actually the first time i saw that kid after they had him bluck up for the 2nd film I saw horrified. He looked wrong somehow. Before that I was already flinching because he already didn't look Native American.

Don't hold that little tidbit against me though ;P

Whatever floats your boat, Trace. ;-D

Usually I use one a girlfriend of mine made for me; it's a copy of one of her original paintings, with hemp and beads for the tassel. It's the only one I can use consistantly and not lose.

I have a bunch of Bookmooch bookmarks so I have been using those. I also like the little magnetic ones that clip over the page because they don't fall out causing me to lose my page.

^ yes magnetic ones rock :)

Where does one find the magnetic type? I've never seen them myself.

Haha...I have been collecting bookmarks since I was about 10 years old and I have an entire box. I am so anal about my bookmarks that I color coordinate them with the cover of the book I am reading.
