Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Favorite Bookmarks. I’m not afraid to admit I’m somewhat of a bookmark hoarder — I just never feel like I have enough!
My favorites tend not to be fancy or expensive. I love going into souvenir shops when I travel and picking up the simple touristy paper bookmarks that can usually be found on the postcard racks. I do have a few other odds and ends as well, so without further ado, here’s a guide to my bookmark collection!
1. Outlander love. You didn’t actually think I’d do a TTT post that doesn’t mention my favorite book series, did you? Here’s a little magnetic Jamie and Claire, who never fail to make me smile while they’re marking my page.
2. It’s Nessie! Isn’t she cute? Not the most practical of bookmarks — she only stays in place when the book is placed carefully on my nightstand. Certainly not a good candidate for reading on the go. Still, she’s just so darn adorable! (Available from Animi Causa)
3. Sassy grandmother — the translation from Hebrew is basically: Bored? Go read a book! (Resting on a copy of Pride and Prejudice — always a good choice.)
4. A super cool leather bookmark with a glamorous masked vampire, a gift from a friend who brought this back for me from New Orleans.
5. Pretty and fancy! Silver and beads, lace and a dragonfly charm, and a golden chamsah. All gifts, all very much appreciated.
6. Travel bookmarks! Just plain paper bookmarks, but I do love bringing them home with me from everywhere I go.
7. A little Ice and Fire is always welcome…
8. This is so true. Heavy books are tough!
9. Girl Power! This bookmark is sold by She Is Booked, and all purchases support charities and women’s causes. Feel good, change the world, and get a great bookmark!
10. Couldn’t resist: Here are just a few of the random items I’ve used as bookmarks in moments of desperation. Because the first and only rule of bookmarks is… always use a bookmark! Dog-earing is for savages.
And a bonus bookmark… because I finished this post and forgot that I took a picture of my magnetic sloth in action! Everyone needs a sloth to hold their page, right?
I’m clearly not a gifted photographer, but I do love my bookmarks, and had lots of fun tracking these down from all their little hiding places around my house.
It’s your turn! Show me your bookmarks!
Or, you know, just go ahead and share your TTT link…
Bookshelf Fantasies 
Great list! I love the girl power bookmark and those Outlander bookmarks are so cute. I love that vampire bookmark from New Orleans!
Little Claire and Jamie are so sweet! The girl power bookmark actually supports good causes — I went back and added the link to the site that sells them.
I love those sassy grandmother bookmarks. And the Nessie one is cute, too!
My TTT.
The company that sells the Nessie bookmark has a ton of super cute gadgets that are animal themed. Nothing I need, but plenty I want!
All of these are great bookmarks. I especially love the ones with nature or sayings on them.
I love those too. I love really beautiful landmarks, national parks, etc — they always make me happy when I open my books and see them.
Well, now I need a Nessie bookmark… it is so cute! Great post!
Doesn’t everybody need a Nessie bookmark? 🙂
I have a lot of travel related bookmarks as well. 🙂
Check out my TTT
It’s always such fun to have these little reminders of great places we’ve been. 🙂
Love your list of bookmarks. I love the sloth one because that is one of my favorite animals.
Mine too!
I have that same remote! Haha and I have used it as a bookmark more than once 😂😂 I do love all your other bookmarks though! Especially Nessie and the Sloth
Nessie & the sloth are pretty cute. 🙂
That Nessie one is my favorite! I definitely need to pick that one, I love all things Nessie (I even have a set of ladles that look like Nessie, haha). 🙂 The Hebrew ones are so neat as well, I love the design (and sassiness!). You have so many great bookmarks!
Thanks! Yes, I totally love my cute Nessie. The same company makes all sorts of adorable housewares featuring animals — I think they carry the Nessie ladles too. 🙂
I’m more like your desktop items than regular bookmarks. http://pmprescott.blogspot.com/
I’ll really use anything!
Love these! I especially love all those travel bookmarks. I would never even think about looking for bookmarks when traveling, but now I will😁
I didn’t deliberately set out to collect bookmarks from different destinations — but now that I’ve been doing it for a while, it’s become a goal wherever I go to come home with at least one!
What a diverse collection. Thanks for sharing them.
My pleasure! This was a really fun topic.
That nessie one is so cute. But I see the reviews agree it doesn’t work. Too bad! 🙂 My TTT
Yeah, I was so excited to get it, then realized it wasn’t the most practical. But I still love it. 🙂
Love these!!! I agree – dog-earring the pages is a no-no!! My most common bookmark? The flap on the dust jacket of the book, lol. 😉
My TTT:
That works! 🙂 Except I almost always remove the dust jacket before I start a book, so it’ll still be in pristine condition when I finish. I’m not always gentle with my books…
I didn’t know you were jewish too! Also it’s always funny reading English words in Hebrew- because I was getting really confused by who “ג׳ייו אוסטן” was before I read your caption 😉 (but my Hebrew’s not so good 😉 ) I like your travel bookmarks as well! 😀
Ditto, I didn’t know you were Jewish either! Even my husband, a native Hebrew speaker, gets stuck sometimes when a word written in Hebrew turns out to be an English transliteration. That’s the edition of Pride & Prejudice I picked up for him so he’d have no more excuses for never reading Jane Austen!
hehe yeah I don’t mention it often on my blog (though irl my name’s Rivka, so it’s a bit of a giveaway 😉 ). hehe well I’m relieved to hear it’s not just my terrible Hebrew! 😉 hehehe! Glad to hear it!
And I didn’t know your name is Rivka either. 🙂
Not a secret, I just don’t put it on my blog 😉
