Is there interest this year? I'd be willing to facilitate if people would like to do this again. I actually found some nice bookmarks to share.

Let me know.

Welcome everyone, especially Harborrose PNW since you are new to this! We'll let this run for a while to see who else is interested.

Actually I did :). I always check your reading lists because you and rosefolly have the greatest sci-fi and fantasy suggestions. I read most of the ones you picked up during your forced vacation except for the Enchantress one, which I'm getting from the library. It is being sent from a neighbouring library and is considered Young Adult. That doesnt put me off at all because some of the MOST EXCELLENT books are categorized that. Anyway, I'm young at heart. Merryworld, now I can put your name on that bookmark, it's one of my fav ones, with a gold open book charm and and a real postage stamp on it of Louisa May Alcott. Thank you again. :)

Siobhan, Enjoy your holiday and congratulations on your new position! I was wondering if we would do the bookmark exchange this year but didn't want to pester you about it. Thanks for offering to be in charge of it Rosefolly. :)

Chiming in to say that, as a Southern girl, we were all brought up to say to our elders: "Yes, Sir" and "No, M'am." Of course that has gone the way of the dinosaur now. Once in a great while, now that I live in Charleston, SC, I hear some of the college students use these terms to their elders. As for "you guys" and "y'all", I am afraid that both are here to stay. It is just part of the changing slang of the American scene. Language is a living entity, not engraved in stone, although, there is a movement to bring back spoken Latin.... I am in a French conversation group. When I use slang I learnt in Paris in the 60's, I am corrected by our native Francaise, who will tell me: "Oh that is so outdated; we now have a new slang term for so and so, etc." And so it goes...

My mother spent her last years in a nursing home with vascular dementia. She continued to read until shortly before the final months of her life. She read much simpler books than she had read in her earlier years, and she rarely finished them. I suspect she forgot what happened in chapter one by the time she reached chapter three, but so long as she took pleasure from the process, it was worthwhile to her. It must have been. She requested a new supply each week and seemed to enjoy the effort. Reading was the fundamental activity of her life. The nurses told us that she was the only patient on the dementia ward that they had ever seen reading. The others watched television, which she ignored.

Hello all! I've been MIA due to some big life changes (good ones) but I would love to exchange bookmarks this year.

How does this work? Altho, to be honest, I mostly use checkout slips for my bookmarks so I don't accidentally return ( and thereby lose) any of my really nice ones!

You send and receive one bookmark to/from every person on the list; the bookmarks can be freebies collected from various places, handmade, whatever. For example, I normally send out a space mission bookmark, since I work at NASA and can get the freebies. I'm currently using the 'SPARK!' bookmark sent by Phaedra last year. And I can't remember who sent the the one that was a bookmark-shaped photo of her bookshelf - one of my favorites! :)

I usually collect bookmarks when I travel. One year I had some from New Zealand, one year I sent ones from the British Library. One year I made some. Some people collect freebie bookmarks all year from bookstores and libraries. All is good. We limit participation to 20 people, and generally it is a smaller number than that -- around 14-16 or so.

You do have to give me your address, but we use email to distribute that list so your mailing address is only shared with other participants. It is never posted online.

For PAM - Nero wakes up when I try to take his picture. I hope a wide-awake picture will do. Here he is at 16 weeks (today) and 18 pounds.

I haven't been here in a while and boy, has it changed! I love that we can add pictures now (PUPPY!) and everything is so easy to edit! Please sign me up for the bookmark exchange this year--my info is the same. Glad you're using the SPARK bookmark, donnamira! It's from my library's Summer Reading Club.

Sorry for the delay. I'm still verifying one person's information. I've sent an email through Houzz.

Once I have everything, I will send the address list directly to those whose actual email I have. Not sure if the Houzz email can handle the long address list. No doubt I'll find out.
