Weekend Question (7): Marking Your Place in a Book


Weekend Question is hosted at Liz at Cleverly Inked. Every weekend, a bookish question will be asked.

This week I made up a question, but if Liz finally posts the question, I'll change/add it, unless her question doesn't suit my situation.

Weekend Question:

How do you mark your place in a book?

What other way than a bookmark?
Okay, before this year when I started reading for fun, I used ANYTHING. I'd use receipts, scraps of paper from the bottom of my bag, post-its, pens . . . Now, thanks to many amazing book bloggers, my room is bustling in the way of bookmarks.

Liz's Question:
 
Do you hide any books from people?  What books are you embarrassed by owning?

My friends don't know I read. All throughout high school, I scorned those who read in their free time, passing up playing games and watching TV, which require less thinking.
I don't know. I just have to find the right time, I suppose. I'd love to recommend books to my friends and such, though. Especially since I've been reading so, so much.
I'm not really embarrassed about any of my books. It's not like anyone really sees my bookcase, at least not when I'm looking.

What about you?

Yo! Are you interested in joining in the weekly meme, too?

I have heaps of booksmarks, but I still tend to use whatever I can find, usually a scrap of paper, sometimes if I remember I get a bookmark. I do love my bookmarks though :D My friends think I collect them, I have that many:P
Like you , I used to use whatever I could find. Thanks to blogging , now I have some great bookmarks.But most of the time I am so afraid of spoiling them, that I avoid using them. Yes , I am paranoid!
i like to use page points (from levenger) for bookmarks. it's a kind of thin paperclip.
and as for book hiding, i keep my pulp fiction in my bedroom bookshelves.
Nice meme !! , well I always use bookmarks unless there non on sight, then I use whatever I can from post-its to scraps of paper =), as for hiding a book well I'm actually proud to show some of them, what can I say? Love them all.
I used to not use anything at all to mark them, usually just placing them face-down at the part I'd stopped. *hides from wrathful book bloggers* But now I'm using bookmarks (or library receipts or whatever in place of bookmarks) more!
Bookmarks for the most part. I have a huge drawer full of them. I was lucky enough to win some awesome swag a little while ago and now I'll never need to buy another bookmark again haha. I'll also though sometimes just use what's closest to me in the moment. A piece of paper, a receipt, anything like that.
I use postcards sent from friends overseas :) I don't hide my books from my friends but that don't realise how much I love reading until the see my bookshelf. Then the are normally shocked.
I always use a bookmark but I'm not too fussed about what's displayed on them, most have been given to me along with trades but I guess I'd love some really fancy bookmarks for xmas, that would be cool.
