Ever spend time trying to find the exact spot in your book where you last stopped reading?

I usually back up a few paragraphs or even a page or two anyway.

Tie a shoestring or ribbon around the book spine and use it for a bookmark.

Bookmarks are pretty handy little devices! lolol
Anything will do, a peice of toilet paper, a ribbon, a folded page.

This is a very solvable ‘problem.’ hahahahaha

I draw an arrow on the bookmark pointing to the particular paragraph where I should resume reading.

@YoH Genius!

@Coloma Bananas don’t work so well, though. Trust me, I’ve tried it.

Interestingly enough, I almost invariably go right to the exact line where i left off.

I just start at the top of the page. I tend to miss important parts of the book if I don’t.

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities I do the exact same thing, then point the arrow to what paragraph you left off on, either side of the page works great!

I use a post-it® note, and place it right below the last sentence I read. Cheap, fast, and doesn’t get lost.

@erichw1504 YoWelcome. I frequently give books as gifts and I include a ribbon tied around the binding,sometimes with a charm attached.

@erichw1504 What did you try putting them in?

It’s normally where the pages are stuck togeth…..ahem ah okaaaay,moving swiftly on.

I usually use a ripped piece of paper, with one blank side and something on the other side. When I leave the bookmark in there, I leave the non-blank side facing the page that I am to continue on.

I do, but I don’t mind reading the parts before the spot I finished reading the last time. I find that reading those parts helps refresh my memory.

@AnonymousGirl My issue is I mostly read while visiting the bathroom. Although a male, who could stand and be done quickly, I prefer to sit and linger, reading a paragraph or two at a time—al page or two when more solid matter is the call. It gives me a moment’s break from work (I work at home, so I get to set my own hours—all of them) and it settles the age-old battle of the sexes about the proper position of the toilet seat. But if I reread to find my place, my reading strategy would seldom get me past a single page. :-)

No, I only finishing reading at the end of a chapter.
