I am firmly on Team Bookmark. No folded corners required.
Happy Friday! It’s time for another Book Blogger Hop hosted by Coffee Addicted Writer! Each week, we all answer the same bookish question and then hop around to see everyone’s responses.
This week’s prompt:
Are you team dog-eared pages or strictly no creases?
Submitted by Billy @ Coffee-Addicted Writer
My Answer
I am definitely strictly no creases. I know some readers love the lived-in look of dog-eared pages, but I have always preferred using bookmarks.
There is just something about sliding a bookmark between the pages that feels like part of the reading experience. It can be pretty, seasonal, bookish, sentimental, or even just a receipt or scrap of paper when needed—but I would still choose that over folding a page corner.
I actually love bookmarks so much that I once featured them in my ongoing All Things Books series, where I spotlight different bookish favorites and reading-related details. Looking back, it makes me smile because some reading habits really do stick with us.
So yes, I am proudly Team Bookmark. My books may be well-loved, but I still like the pages to stay smooth.

Are you Team Bookmark or Team Dog-Eared Pages?
I would love to know where you fall on this one. Are you gentle with your books, or do you believe a folded corner is part of their story?
Stop by and let me know. Happy Reading!

All my books are pristine. It has even got to the point of is that bookmark too fat 😂 I often find sheets of paper to use 😂
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
I completely understand that! 😊 I’ve definitely wondered if a bookmark was too bulky before too. Thanks for stopping by, and Happy Reading!
DeleteYes to this exactly! I have an extensive bookmark collection dating back to my early childhood days and those oh so wonderful Scholastic Book Fairs! I miss how they used to be smaller than they are now, but I guess since books have gotten bigger in size, a bookmark needed to be bigger too! Lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my BBH!
I love that you still have your bookmark collection from childhood! 😊 And you may be right—books really have gotten bigger over the years, so maybe bookmarks had to grow too. Happy Reading!
DeleteI sometimes fold pages! Please forgive me if you run across a book I've sullied.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I’ll forgive you! 😊 I know plenty of readers who see folded pages as signs a book was truly loved… even if I still reach for a bookmark first. Happy Reading!
DeleteI went back and read your post on bookmarks. I agree about seeing my progress in a book. I love seeing how much I've read and how much more I have left to go. When I was growing up, I wasn't much of a reader, but I always loved bookmarks! That being said, I do also love my Kindle (and I am much more of a reader nowadays). :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for going back and reading my bookmarks post too! 😊 I completely agree—there’s something satisfying about physically seeing your progress in a book. And I love that you’ve always loved bookmarks, even before becoming such a reader. I’m a Kindle reader too, but I still have a soft spot for bookmarks and physical books. Happy Reading!
DeleteI like the name Team Bookmark, and I am a member of that team too!! :) No dog-eared pages or creases!! Nice and pristine books!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog.
Yay—another proud Team Bookmark member! 😊 I’m exactly the same way, I love keeping my books looking nice and pristine too. Happy Reading!
