I know it sounds stupid but the best, most practical bookmarks, I've found, are plastic-coated paper clips. They never fall out even if you up-end the book and they don't hurt the book.
Generally I adore the type of bookmarks on this post. Like the one on the left. Good Edward shot.
And ladies, how can you read books on the screen?? I tried reading Midnight Sun that way and ended up just skimming part of it and now can hardly wait for SM to finally get that thing written and published.
I'm getting a bit better with reading print on the screen, what with all this blogging and emailing, but a whole novel? Hmm. I want a 'Reader' or 'Kindle'. Those are actually more like real books.
jesse--i've found index cards and post-its to be the best bookmarks; I can write on them any new words i have learned, any ideas I have formed, any quotes i want to keep. But having pretty ones that make me smile are nice sometimes, too. :-)
As tempting as these bookmarks are, I still dog ear the pages. They never fall out and after they're back in place, the weight of the book straightens the fold out beautifully. The tell-tale signs of the fold have also helped me look back at a particular line or two because I remember about where I've read the section I'm looking for.
But "handling" (or licking) the bookmark might bring me great joy when thinking about the Pretty. Decisions. Decisions.
Reading ff has almost ruined my eye sight however, especially reading Twilighted.net's black background.
Forgive me. I'm rambling while I'm thinking of which pictures I'd like to see on a bookmark and which states of undress Rob would exhibit.
Thank you Ana73 for the rec. I have not read that one.
@Barbara, you can have white background on Twilighted.net! Just go to 'edit preferences' and then choose 'white' at the option 'skin'! The white background is less tiring than the black one!
Solas...brainwave...they should make Robert post-it notes! That way we can bookmark, write notes and look at the Pretty all at once! Where's our marketing team?
OOOOOOOH! My husband bought me the New Moon book mark the other day. Totally surprised me. Of course, than he complained and teased me about my Robward obsession. Jerk. I wish they would stop air brushing Edward so much. It makes him look fake. Rob doesnt need airbrushing!

Lovely! Perhaps I should start reading real books again, rather than just FF...
Yummy as always. He can mark MY book anytime.

Oh, forgot to say that I've made my own Edward and Robert bookmarks. Just print off 4x6 favourite photos. But when they fall out, everyone knows.

@ jessegirl
I think that "everyone" already knows LOL!
Oh I want one!! Oh Edward. Le sigh.
Hello...my name is LHR and I am a FF junkie........
Although....if I had Fierceward holding my place in a actual book......I might be more inclined to read........maybe......

Just wondering ~ could bookmarks be pop ups? Just for those of us who have ruined our eyes reading all this great ff...

jesse--I have NO head for business or marketing, else I would not be poverty stricken. So take the idea and run with it. :-=)
