Check in time!!!
If you could be any character in a book, who would it be?

When I was a kid, I wanted to be James from James and the giant peach so I could travel and eat the peach. :joy:

Ooh, that’s a difficult one. I mean, Matilda is a big one from my childhood. But now, maybe Murderbot.

What kind of bookmarks do you all like? I love bookmarks, but historically if i bought a bookmark it stayed forever with the book I bought at the same time. I tend to use scrap paper torn off whatever.

My curiosity hit thanks to a friend who gave me a book to read and I just found a small twig he’d used as bookmark. He’s also used plastic wrapped cheese slices and a tomato once.

I have been thinking about this question all week and i still don’t have answer. I do remember wanting to be one of the boxcar children, but not which one,

Hmmm. Thats really hard. I have read so many books with amazing heroins. I’ll have to give it a little more thought, but i am checking in!
I figured out my idea, ordered the supply, and i am rethinking the book after talking to someone.

Haha a whole tomato? I’ve definitely stuck random things in books, knitting needles and candy wrappers, bus tickets, receipts and whatnot. I could see me putting an apple or orange on an open book while getting up for a minute or two.

He was reading, eating lunch, and somebody needed his help for a minute. So that’s what he had handy.

Still debating on my craft options. I think I have the treat decided, though, along with the book. :+1:

I’ve been doing very badly the last week or so, but I am working to move forward. My swap partner and I have overlapping tastes and TBRs, so I have many book options to choose from. I have been brainstorming craft ideas, but I haven’t decided on anything yet.

I’m on day…10 of a pretty heinous head cold. I have been working here and there on an idea, but not so much on the book & treat part, yet.

I’m stressed about life in general. But mostly okay. Crafting wise I’m still brainstorming.
