Apparently this is a debate I never thought about!!
Where do you put your bookmark?
It appears that some people place the bookmark on the last page they read, others (me!) put the mark on the next page to read.
For example here I would place the bookmark on the page where the next chapter begins so I do not reread where I am finished, and do not need to open then turn the page to begin reading again.
Where does it go? 🛑📑📚
I‘m emptying out bins of books-stored because of drywall work and painting in my office. I forgot about this one. Small book, but full of bookish art and essays. 🙂 I‘m putting it on my desk where I can easily reach it.

Going to a week long crime writing retreat in a month. I have to write a page about my favourite crime book. How am I supposed to choose one? I can‘t even write the pre-assignment 🤯🫣😫😧
Over the past few years I‘ve been complaining to friends about the fact that I keep getting library books & ignoring my own sitting on the shelves. Last week I created an Excel sheet to provide a visual. Of the 31 books I‘ve read this year, 29 were from the library and 2 were handed to me by friends to read. Seeing the proof in print was a shocker. Now I‘m seriously clamping down on library books. My shelves would be so happy with 31 fewer books.
1. Last Fall my daughter and I visited my local library and she looked at all the books she wants to read her children. 🌸🌼
2. Amazon 🤦🏼♀️
3. The Book of Lost Friends - slow reading as we‘ve been busy the past month!

pickThis is a clever novel that follows the story of Loveday Cardew, a young woman working at a bookshop who prefers books to people. The novel explores themes of love, grief, and the power of literature. It explores her relationships with an array of characters, including her boss, Archie, and a poet, Nathan. The narrative is interspersed with Loveday's tattoos, which feature the first lines of her favorite books, adding a unique layer to the story.
pickA wonderfully magical book about 2 women separated by decades. Opaline is in 1921 fleeing her brother‘s attempts to arrange her marriage. Martha is our present day narrator fleeing an abusive husband. They are connected by a magical bookshop which appears then disappears. I very much enjoyed this book and it felt like a warm hug to all those who love literature. Even the dedication was special. “TO ALL THE BOOK LOVERS”
5 stars
pickAfter hearing about this book for years, I finally bought a copy and read it yesterday. I enjoyed the epistolary format. It was a different and fun way to get to know the characters. I‘m glad I finally read it. 5/5 ⭐️
