Suggested by Tammy:
What items have you ever used as a bookmark? What is the most unusual item you’ve ever used or seen used?
Most of the times, I use bookmarks to mark my books. There were a few times I used receipts as bookmarks because I wanted to read the books I bought on my way home. Sometimes, I will also use post-it tags but they are more of a mark for quotes (to be quoted for my reviews) than as a bookmark. I have also used postcards as a bookmark too, but that is because I have extras (they are promotions from the Tourism Board and are free of charge).
What about you? What other items have you used besides bookmarks?

me too :) i usually use a special bookmark, special because I made it from the picture of my lovely pets :)
Lately I've been using this beautiful bookmark that looks like an Asian rug. It is beautiful, and has drawn several compliments (thanks again)! I collect them actually, but have been known to use whatever in a pinch.
I am quite boring when it comes to bookmarks, it's normally a bought bookmark or a scrap peice of paper, but I have been reading some great ideas for bookmarks! Great Answer!

anything that stays and doesn't destroy the book is a bookmark!
my recent bookmark was grocery store bill!
I agree with @Veens--anything that won't destroy a book is fair game!
I've used everything from stray receipts, post-it notes, straw wrappers, junk mail... whatever is handy, really.
As long as it marks my page, I can use anything!
Booking through Thursdays: Spot on!
Similarly I use a range of objects, preferring bookmarks but using other bits and pieces when they aren't available!
I try to use actual bookmarks most of the time, but often I use whatever is at hand that won't hurt the book.
I may start the post it for quotes, good idea.
Here is my post.

I've used a leaf before lol. These days I'm never without a bookmark though
Hi, everyone! Thanks for your comments. I love reading everyone's answers. Some of you have given me some good ideas what I should use for my future reading. :P
Sandy - I'm so happy to hear you're using that bookmark! Enjoy! :)
I try to use bookmarks too, but will grab whatever is nearby.
I have quite a few bookmarks and do try to use them whenever possible. I sometimes find myself without them though and end up having to use a receipt or scrap of paper. I used a penny the other day because I had nothing else.
i'm bad, I dog ear :)
but I also use bookmarks or post- its. If the book is for review, I tend to use the letter that came from the publisher or author as a bookmark.

Nise' - Me too!
Wendy - I'm very much like you, Wendy. I've not used a penny before though, that's interesting!
Naida - I don't dog-ear, unless I really can't help it, LOL.
Apart from bookmarks, I use those subscription cards found in foreign mags. Some of them are very pretty and well designed.
Alice - Ah...that's a good idea too!
