Keeping Your Place
1. Do you use bookmarks? (If no, continue to question 2.)
- What do you use?
- What is the most unusual bookmark you've ever used?
- Do you collect them?
2. If you don't use bookmarks, how do you keep your place?
- Fold over corners?
- Remember the page you were up to?
- Other?
3. Where do you like to stop reading?
- At the end of chapters?
- At the end of scenes?
- Wherever you are when you doze off?
Good questions; I always wonder about other people's habits.
ReplyDeleteI use pictures and postcards as bookmarks, and I have been known to dogear pages if I can't find another way to keep my place. Sometimes I try to just remember the page number, but that never works. :)
I stop reading whenever I doze off. Doesn't matter where. I read til I can't anymore. :)
I use bookmarks. I have a wad of them rubber-banded that sit in the nightstand drawer, which is usually where I start reading/read - in bed. I collect them in the sense that I've had many for years; we did a special group fo them for Bouchercon in 1994 and some of THOSE still surface. I have some GREAT ones from ALA about Banned Books (it's that time again folks) and as I go to mystery conventions, I end up with stacks of them, as they're used as advertising. I have quotes, i have images of people reading, I will NEVER run out.
ReplyDeleteI stop reading when I want to; wherever I am, when I realize Im sleepy, doesn't matter. I often try to finish the chapter, but if I do I'm probably not remembering what I read anyway, so I just stop. And I admit to thiking that people who turn down corners are bad and evil (ok not really but it DOES make me cringe); sorry to all of you corner-turners out there.
yay, I have a blogger account and so can comment here again :) answers are up on my page (naridu.com). It feels good to say hi again.
ReplyDeleteJust surfing through and thought I'd participate. I agree these are good questions; it's always interesting to read what others do.

I'll have you know I opened a blogger account just so I can post here. Anyway, I will answer this meme on my site: adrienne.eugaet.com
ReplyDeleteHi, Danielle,
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing. I read your answers on your blog, but couldn't see where to leave comments.
Adrienne, I'm glad you got a Blogger account so you could answer. I got a LiveJournal account so I could read entries by friends that were "Friends Only" and got hooked on it and moved my writing blog over there. I'll go look at your answers. :)
I'm so far behind! It's already October, and I just completed September's Booked by 3. Oh well, better late than never. ;) Check out my answers on my blog at www.iloveagoodmystery.com.
