Welcome to Litsy!

#SummerSpecial

This book was #forgotten in my TBR

While trying to find a photo to use, I can across this article from a few years ago on what people use for bookmarks & then leave forgotten in library books. Pretty entertaining! 😆 https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2018/may/14/bac...

New issue of bookmarks! I always love their covers—so cozy.

All set to go! But I suck and the post office is closed 🥺 they will go out first thing Monday because to quote Vernon Dursley, “There is no post on Sunday.”

Souvenir leather bookmarks will forever be my absolute favourite. ❤️

I bought my first one in 1997 and my lovely Litsy friends have certainly added to my collection since then. @TrishB @rubyslippersreads @Book_Fiend_Melissa @rockpools @Mdargusch - do you see any of your gifts peeking out from this pile? 😂

Thanks for the tag, @Tove_Reads !

@Schnoebs @Charityann look for your new bookmarks arriving by Monday! Sorry I got them out at the last minute I‘m terrible at mailing things (I still have my nephew‘s bday gift, his bday is in May 😬)

Im so excited I haven‘t done a swap in a long time! In fact I think the last one I did was a bookmark swap as well.
@cwarnier

A quick, enjoyable little read about some of the things people leave in books. The author runs a bookstore with his family and started cataloguing some of his finds. I always enjoy finding ticket stubs and receipts in the used books that I buy so this was interesting read for me.

Pictured is this weeks stack of books.

Also, I hit my 30,000 page goal for the year so I may need to re-evaluate that one. #goals #pagesread

Thank you so much @Crazeedi for all the wonderful bookmarks! And the notebook, pen, sticky notes, and cards 😍
I love the joke on the peacock bookmark lol
Isabella‘s favorite are the tasseled ones lol
Thank you @LibrarianRyan for hosting this fun #bookmarkswap

Received another #bookmarkswap envelope today but I don‘t know who it‘s from. It has the best washi on it and a fantastic stamp.
@LibrarianRyan

YAY! My #bookmarkswap package arrived! Can‘t wait to open it @Crazeedi
@LibrarianRyan

Found these fun magnetic bookmarks in Bullseye‘s Playground (Target Dollar Spot). Yes they were only a dollar!

The irony was not lost. The date on the sonogram was a few years ago but since it was from a local clinic I put it in the mail.

LOL! I have plenty of bookmarks but sometimes they‘re not at hand, so I use whatever‘s closest! 😂📚

#bookmarks #bookwormproblems

I try to remember to grab a bookmark at every independent bookstore I'm in when I'm shopping there. I have quite a pile now! Here are just a few from places I've been in the past year or so.

Looks like my S&S bookmark has been a little too loved. #bookmarks #austeninaugust @Crinoline_Laphroaig

Don‘t you love finding forgotten old bookmarks in books?

This is my latest find in a book from the early 1950s (and check out that telephone number 🤔).

#ThingsFoundInBooks

My used copy of the tagged book showed up with its own forgotten bookmarks! I love finding what other people used to mark their place when I buy a second hand book.

I was lazy and just grabbed the #bookmarks that were within arm's reach 🤭🤭.

Both my maiden and married name starts with the letter P so through life's ups and downs my initials have always stayed the same.

Found this in a library book at work. It‘s a gift card that doubles as a bookmark. So cute! What‘s funny is that I‘m currently using an actual amazon gift card as one of my bookmarks 😂 If only I‘d had this instead!

Just received these beautiful, most awesome bookmarks all the way from Canada 💗📖✈️❄️😍✉️🏷🇨🇦 Thank you so much, @Clwojick I love bookish quotes, elephants (wildlife), and old roses (flowers of course, but especially the colour. 💐🌸🥀🐘

These are heading out later today! I got side tracked yesterday do genealogy stuff.
@Irishmslmrose @JackOBotts #bookmarkswap

To my #bookmarkswap buddies packages are going out on MONDAY ... I apologize profusely for the lateness. I started second guessing my choices and ... they are headed your ways on Monday I promise. @Irishmslmrose @JackOBotts

This was in the mailbox as well. Not sure if it arrived Friday or Saturday since we just got back home today.
@JackOBotts

I still don't understand, why bookdepository sends me every book single, I ordered for my #secretsantagoespostal, but the advantage is, I have a little collection of bookmarks by ordering only one time. 😊
To my secret Santa, there are still three items missing. Hope to send your parcel next week. 🤗 @MrBook @BookBabe @Avanders

1️⃣ June, I'm told I'm Gemini
2️⃣ If you so wish, but don't spend much. It's not supposed to be a gift exchange, after all
3️⃣ Hufflepuff, 3rd Doctor (I'm old)
4️⃣ I'm only on coffee no 1 here
5️⃣ See above
6️⃣ Pink

Wanna see something heartwarming?

These are (some!) of the wonderful bookmarks I have received from Litsy friends in the past year. They've come to Canada from England, N. Ireland, the USA, Israel, Germany, Slovenia and Australia. Thank you, my friends! ❤️❤️

??? Started looking at #bookmarks for the #bookmarkswap and this came up on Etsy! What other type of #bookmark is there?!

Yay! Just signed up for the #bookmarkswap being organised by @Clwojick.

A few of my #FavouriteBookmarks #OctoberLibrary17

Look at the bonanza of #bookmarks! I started collecting these souvenir leather bookmarks years ago on my travels and @RachelO recently did some home organizing and offered them up here on Litsy.

Thank you so much, @RachelO ! Your bookmarks will be well-used and find a good home in the bookmark box in my library. I love them all. 😘😘😘

This is about as crafty as I get. #riotgrams #getcrafty

Repurposed bookmark. Because one can never have too many bookmarks. #Ru'sHand

Has your favourite bookmark gone #missing? It just might be featured in this collection. 😉
I HATE losing bookmarks ... but I love finding them in old books. ❤️

They also had literacy night events. This is Man Cub's bookmark that he colored. The night was superhero themed.

Here's a few from my growing #bookmark collection. I love the NaNoWriMo donor goodies, the cool star/moon magnet & the chainmail star. I also have some beautiful papyrus bookmarks, but I'm afraid I'll destroy them so I don't use them often. The ones that I use most are the penguins (go figure) and the free bookstore bookmarks, along with receipts, clothing tags, ribbon, kleenex (unused!), and anything else that's on hand. #riotgrams

Day 16 - here are some of my bookmarks ... that's not too many, right? 😬#riotgrams #bookmarks

#BookmarkLove

I love bookmarks! When I start a new book, I have to find a bookmark I feel compliments or matches the book in some way. Finding a bookmark in a used book is also a fun treat. 📖 #riotgrams #bookmark #bookmarks

Since I tend to use whatever piece of paper is at hand, (say no to dog ears) I have quite a lot of #bookmarks. Usually they are stubs from performances. I also have a number from bookstores from my travels, but the one in upper right is from the kids from the first class I taught. #riotgrams @Liberty @bookriot

These are most of my bookmarks. There are some traveling around in the books on my shelves (you know how you always misplace bookmarks in books?) and some that I left in the office but this is the main batch. Some I find super pretty but highly impractible, others have a lot of personal value to me. 😉 #riotgrams #bookmarks

These bookmarks are so cool! @James

I found this book under my bed while looking for a missing roll of washi tape. These kinda books are so charming. I need to start leaving notes in library books. :)
