Not to be dramatic but there may be no greater crime than people who fold down the corner of pages for their bookmarks.

There’s a whole world of options out here — laminated bookmarks with cute sayings or inspirational quotes or sweeping landscapes. Touristy postcards or old birthday cards. Post-it notes come in a rainbow of colors. Shoot, even a good old fashioned 4″x6″ photo makes an excellent bookmark. But noooo…some folks out here all willy nilly, marking up their books like it doesn’t even matter.

I have very big feelings about bookmarks. I’m not even all that sure why, but I do. Gotta love the joy of a unique placeholder smack dab in the middle of a glorious book.


Linda hosts Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt is “bookmark.” Use as a noun, use it as a verb, use it way you’d like. Have fun!
