Book preservationists attack.

*Use their face as the bookmark.*

@futurebird nope i'm too chaotic for fighties, i'm out [flies onto a bike and speeds off in a shower of abandoned bookmarks]

@moira @JMMaok chaotic good.
I think I got into the habit as a kid using the library's return date card as a book mark. Double reminder, where I am and when it's due

@JMMaok @moira True Chaotic.

[btuftin@social.coop]

@moira @JMMaok Hemlock and Silver rocks though.

[moira@mastodon.murkworks.net]

@btuftin @JMMaok I'm enjoying it so far for sure ^_^

[moira@mastodon.murkworks.net]

@dave881 @JMMaok honestly that's what I do with library books almost all the time

basically unless i lose it, which i do xD

[phooky@hexa.club]

@moira @JMMaok the nice thing about this technique is that you can be reading two books at the same time and use them simultaneously as bookmarks for each other

[moira@mastodon.murkworks.net]

@phooky @JMMaok EXACTLY! Which is often actually the case! Or a book and a paper. Or occasionally a journal or a zine. Depends!

@moira @JMMaok I’ve found my people at last.

[delilahtech@tech.lgbt]

[libertyoftheforest0@mastodon.social]

@moira neutral good and lawful neutral here, haha

[moira@mastodon.murkworks.net]

@DelilahTech i do too

that's the only one i really hate xD

[iris@neuromatch.social]

@moira @JMMaok this is THE way to keep track of where you are with taking notes (notebook as bookmark for textbook)

[alexhelvetica@toot.cat]

@moira I feel like using a chemist warehouse receipt for a stock image is a terrible idea.

Admittedly, their business model is mostly selling non-pharmaceuticals, so maybe it's just a receipt for perfume or something

@moira

Library books or books borrowed from friends: mark page with scrap paper or receipts

My own personally owned books: book open upside down if briefly interrupted mid-read, or dogeared page if setting aside book for later

Yes, I misuse my own books barbarously, but at least I follow civilized custom with books that are not mine!
