Do you ever use bookmarks? I end up using scraps of paper and receipts, but this book hook would be a real step up. It would transform your book into a piece of art on your nightstand.

This is a great site full of great content. I love coming to this blog kindle 3g review
I always use lovely postcards that my family and friends have sent tome or that I have bought on holiday. :)
What a simple yet stunning idea!

LOVE THIS. I have so many books it’d be neat to have more than one of those and maybe mount them? AH! So cool.
good point about ruining the binding, i hadn’t thought of that. maybe just for paperbacks, then? xo andrea, i love that your dad made you one!
Ohhhhh! I like that bookstand thingy. Like it a LOT! -lbs
I love the painting! Did you do that? And I love the bookmark, that would totally keep my place for sure!haha
I am a somewhat new follower. I would be honored if you would follow me on my blog. :)
love it!! i like to use the perfume samples from magazines… ;)
so many kindle users! i too still have books. i like the tangible quality, and i admit i’m too lazy to use a bookmark or even TP; i just fold over the page. what are your favorite books? do you ever read “self-help”? i just wrote an entry on “books we’re embarrassed to read” –

thanks for being such a huge inspiration joanna!
i love caitlin’s artistry!
i use small notes and gift tags as bookmarks. some are so pretty and i love to be reminded of people who are special to me. also when i’m out of town and have time, i love to browse independent bookstores. most of them have custom complimentary cardstock bookmarks by the register and they are a great momento of places i’ve been. xo!
i love the book hook! i currently use bookmards. i probably have about 50 of them.
This is so cool! I always end up using receipts.
When I’m feeling like a baller I use dollar bills. :)
This is beautiful but looks like it might destroy the book’s spine.
Before my Kindle, I dog-eared my pages. I know a lot of people hate that, but I think it’s a sign of a well-loved book!
That’s amazing! I always seems to put some old post-its to bookmark and it’s really stressful!
