Mostly, I use a book mark when the book is not my own. I can't imagine using bacon for a book mark. (I like bacon too much to leave it anywhere)<br /><br />JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-61649994866545667322012-01-10T22:19:15.513+00:002012-01-10T22:19:15.513+00:00Aargh, I can't bear folded corners!

I don't understand this at all--it's a library book; you'll never see your little notes and highlights and underlines again.

I used to buy my Mum a bookmark as a gift when we went on holiday, better than sweets as she was diabetic. We used to give them as leaver's gifts at my school. Now they have a CD with pictures of the leaver's party.

We don't have a set box but pick and choose what we would like that week thus avoiding swede which neither of us like!

I can also remember the head librarian being furious when well meaning borrowers had tried to repair a book with sellotape which damages a book. To be honest I used to quite enjoy watching her hyperventilating blue fit tizzy when a sellotaped book came back!! It was my job to mend books each Saturday afternoon using the proper tapes and glues. <br />Happy days.<br />L.x.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832021443447502646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-65598476352503523532012-01-10T08:29:33.666+00:002012-01-10T08:29:33.666+00:00I thought you were going to say there was tomato s...I thought you were going to say there was tomato splashed all over the relevant pages - that's how you can tell my favourite recipes in my own (not borrowed)recipe books!<br /><br />You're right - there's no excuse for turning down the pages of borrowed books. I like postits (Ben gets given loads of free, advertising ones)as bookmarks in recipe books. Quite harmless...<br /><br />What used to really freak me out in library books (I was a Saturday Girl working in the local library as a teenager) was people who made cryptic notes in pencil in the margins, usually in mystery stories. Or CORRECTED misprints!!!! Surely they were just trying to impress the next reader? It didn't impress me.<br /><br />PS Was the Borrowers good?

It was the same when I went to uni, but what annoyed me most were the people who underlined, highlighted and made notes in the textbooks from the library! I always made sure I had sticky tabs, post-it notes or scraps of paper to mark relevant bits and pieces that I wanted to quote in assignments, and always removed them before returning the books.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.com
