The stiletto seems like it'd be a little clunky, but that wood burned one from Hawaii is pretty damn awesome.

I'm still a barbaric dog-earer though, don't judge. I just can't use a bookmark without losing it periodically. When I have a book I don't want to dog ear, I actually just jot down my page number in a note on my phone. lol

I leave bookmarks in library books for people to find and have as their own. In the past I have used everything from sugar packets and stir stick from coffee shops to gum wrappers I found at the bottom of my book bag 🤣

I tried to change at one point, and for quite a while I did, but I eventually realized that I enjoy reading more when dog earing the pages. It's like the book leaves it's mark on me, and I leave mine on it.

I have a few book with broken spines and dog eared pages a long with stains. We loved and well used book. 📚 books are meant to be devoured.
