It’s Tuesday, and that means it’s Top Ten Tuesday! Top Ten Tuesday used to be hosted over on The Broke and the Bookish but moved over to That Artsy Reader Girl. As described on The Artsy Reader Girl’s blog, “It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.” This description is right up my alley, and I hope you all enjoy this tag as much as I do!
This week’s prompt is favorite bookmarks! As most of you have realized by now, I’m more of a digital reader. I LOVE reading on my Kindle, Nook, or iPad. It’s nice to be able to have 1000+ books with me at all times. With that said, I still have a love of bookmarks. I don’t use them often, but I LOVE having them all the same. Here are some of my current favorite bookmarks
Book darts – these things are seriously the coolest bookmarks ever. They show you where you left off & I don’t have to worry about them falling out the book! These things were super handy during college!
Sprout Leaves – These things are just so cute that I am in love with them. I bought them on impulse at Barnes & Noble and have been in love with them ever since.
Yes, I am Actually Reading This Bookmark Pad – I just love the snarky bit of these. I still have about half of a pad of these left, but I definitely enjoy using them once in a while.
This is a Real Book Bookmark Pad – I use these sparingly, but it’s only because I love them so much. I love the snark & everything about them. Knock Knock has some fun products, and these are just fun to use!
Handmade awesome ones – I’ve made myself quite a few bookmarks with my laminator & book pages (old torn up copies I swear). It’s fun to play with the design and create something useful and unique. I’ve made quite a few fun ones for myself, co-workers, and friends. If you were at the midnight release that I helped run (Aurora, CO), you might have gotten one of my handmade bookmarks FYI.
So there you have it, those are some of my favorite bookmarks. I also use the standard receipt, fortune cookie fortune, and random pieces of torn paper. What are some of your favorite bookmarks?

I cut up a USGS topographic map for a separate project a few years ago. It left me with several strips about 2” x 6” that I’ve been using as bookmarks ever sense. I’ve wanted to get the prettier ones laminated, but have never gotten around to it.
I really love the lamination because I don’t have to worry if I leave them out & someone spills something on them.
