Pre-Owned Bookmarks.
I tend to be fascinated with all things voyeuristic, so when I saw this homage to Pre-Owned Bookmarks over on swissmiss my heart essentially skipped a beat. Turns out it’s a collection of “bookmarks” collected over the years from books purchased at flea markets, garage sales, used bookstores, etc.
I almost never use an actual bookmark in books I’m reading (which usually happens to be more than one at a time). My favorite page markers are those annoying subscription cards that fall out of magazines when you’re trying to read them, so I was drawn to the one above. Who knows, maybe it’s even mine. Creepy.

And yeah, I don’t do bookmarks either, although I love them!
I’m so weird.

February 6, 2008 at 9:39 pmI currently have a New York Magazine annoying subscription card in “Under the Tuscan Sun”. I think I have had one or two REAL bookmarks in my life and am unsure of where they are…most likely in books I am in the middle of but put back in my bookcase!

But i have a really nice silver one for my novels.
