Magnetic Bookmarks usually has some sort of sale going. When I sold books on eBay, I'd include a magnetic bookmark in each book I sold. The company looks for photo submissions. I have to get some of mine together. If a photo is accepted, the company gives you 200 free bookmarks. If I'm successful with any of my photos, I can see them being included in any giveways I may have on my blog.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859786904855052152.post-45782373223273657052008-10-30T11:13:00.000-06:002008-10-30T11:13:00.000-06:00Pete - thanks!

I think that the book itself is just a materialistic object, it's the story inside that has meaning and how we use that--to influence our attitudes and actions--shows whether or not you have really loved the book.Literature Crazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745445935235997199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859786904855052152.post-30769888451319412722008-10-30T07:24:00.000-06:002008-10-30T07:24:00.000-06:00Oh Sunny, you are just too cute for words! :) I ...Oh Sunny, you are just too cute for words! :) I am definitely not a spine breaker. I am rougher on my non fiction, self helpish, spiritual growth kinds of books if I am really getting something out of them. I will totally highlight them, dog ear them, and write all over the inside covers. I learned this in college, and it will never stop. I have tried to write notes on post its or index cards and put them inside, but when reading a book, I will take it EVERYWHERE, and I will inevitably lose those slips. My son is like your daughter, and my dear, it PAINS me (I too shiver and look away at this point). Maybe they'll grow into a more careful manner. :)<BR/><BR/>Kellykalea_kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645846028493046287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859786904855052152.post-92099782386609716922008-10-30T06:47:00.000-06:002008-10-30T06:47:00.000-06:00My sister deos the same.

I read while sleeping too, but I am careful enough to keep the book back on my bedside table no matter how sleepy i am.<BR/><BR/>I guess you are lucky, your daughter shares your love of reading. She'll realize her mistakes some day :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
