There is a tradition in this circle of book-loving family and friends to give bookmarks as gifts, usually handmade ones.
Although I have several books on the go at one time usually only one of them is fiction which requires a bookmark and so most of these lovely markers are 'waiting'.
Then it occurred to me that I could use a different one each time I ended reading in the same book!
Dah dah! This is not the actuality but the demo of the actuality so I will have to see how it actually works. The satisfaction of frequent use of them all may be shadowed by them being too awkward.
It was fun, in any case, having them all out for a 'showing.'
By the by, I have learned that I am not the only one to read non-fiction books such as knitting or self-help or anything to do with home and garden (and I wonder if this a very common practice) from back to front and usually in segments, not whole pages. With inspirational types of books I close my eyes and open to a page and read what my eye falls upon and stop reading when the flavour ends. Cook books get the same treatment and I can 'read' an entire cookbook simply by looking at the pictures. Is this called skimming? I find it quite satisfying.
