I am a bookworm. A complete and utter bookworm. As of late I have been downloading every book I've read to my Kindle on my iPod Touch.
It's been a bit of a war with myself on a couple of levels. On one hand I can look at it from a "green" perspective and I realize that I'm saving trees by not buying the gazillion books I read in paper. They're also so handy on my Kindle because I can take a whole library everywhere I go. On the other hand, it's not a book. I'm not curling up in bed with a good ole paperback. I feel like I'm neglecting a bookworm tradition. So I'm torn, but the Kindle has been winning out.
Until I spotted these babies. Briones & Co is another of those shops that I discovered ages ago. About a year or so ago I purchased one of their mini meal planners (though mine is not awesomely felted). One day I was randomly checking out some of my old "hearts" on Etsy, saw their shop, found out that they have a separate website (I love Etsy, but sometimes I feel I need to boycott them a bit if a seller has a non-Etsy shop - their fees will kill the profit for a seller) and bought crazy-awesome bookmarks!
When we moved here this was the first thing that got mailed to our new home. So they hold a weirdly special place in my heart. They're really just so cool. They have places for you to write about your book so that you can keep track of what you're reading. There are the usual places for title and author, but also a place to write down words you want to look up and favorite quotes. You can also rate your books right there on the bookmark and then save these babies for later reference. So neat.
So the arrival of these brought me to purchase my first physical book in a while, and I'm so excited that I get to use this handy dandy bookmark. Ingenious idea. You should probably go buy some for yourself.
