BTT: “X” Marks the…hold that thought. Where did my spot GO?

Suggested by Tammy:

What items have you ever used as a bookmark? What is the most unusual item you’ve ever used or seen used?

Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!

Oh, you really don’t want to know.

Just kidding. I don’t think I’ve ever used anything so completely inappropriate that i wouldn’t share. I do read in pubic, after all.

I generally, though, don’t use bookmarks as in the kind you find at the checkout counter at your local warehouse bookstore. I tend to lose them, weekly, and to continue purchasing three-dollar pieces just to have them go missing in several days never seems to add up.

My prefered book marking tool is probably The Receipt. It’s light. It’s appropriately shaped and sized. It’s completely dispensable. Business cards also work but are harder to come by, thicker and, really, for the most part, need keeping. I do use hardcover jackets when around.

I also, on rare occasion, use the free ones from the library. I always have these grand ideas about writing all of the books I read with that marker on the back. I think my lifetime best is two.
