After working in publishing for 16 years I have a huge aversion to turning down page corners to mark my place. Little scraps of paper usually fall out and disappear, and besides, I figure that many people put a lot of work into producing that book, so it deserves a decent bookmark. Today's lucky find is cserpentDesigns. You can find gorgeous beaded bracelets and other jewelry there, but I really love these bookmarks!

Thanks for blogging about my shop! The pink teddy bear is my favorite!
I use book darts to keep my place.
These are little, thin metal arrow that slide right on to the edge or the page without damaging it.
I use them not only to mark where I stopped reading, but also to mark any interesting passages I might use in my book reviews. At any given time I have 20 or 30 of the things in a book.
I get them at Powells, usually, though I think I've seen them at Elliott Bay Books, as well.
I also don't like folding the corners of my books or leaving them turned upside down to mark the page. I don't use bookmarks either. I just look for the last page I read.
