I talk a big game. I absolutely love collecting bookmarks but often fall victim to never using them. This could be for a few different reasons, most often being I don’t want to get up and grab one from my collection box, so I end up using a receipt, a gum wrapper, or I even admit I’ve used a tissue (unused, obvi). And if I’m running away for a quick moment, I have also been known to just place it face down to mark the place. Fellow readers, please forgive me for that transgression.

Also, please make me feel normal and back me up on this one: Sometimes I get so overwhelmed by the sheer volume of bookmarks that I can’t choose one. You can’t just use a Six of Crows-themed bookmark for a historical fiction book, and it just takes too long to go through the entire box. 

Other times, I’m so entranced by the book I’m reading that I just want to read it all in one fell swoop. So let me pose this: These bookmarks are so beautiful you are going to want to stop reading so you can mark your place. I know. I know. Blasphemy, right? But just take a glance through this list and I think you’ll understand.
