Something Neato

A few weeks ago,someone awesome in my Wild Things YA Goodreads Group I keep telling you about had the idea of doing a bookmark swap which sort of evolved into a handmade awesomeness extravaganza.  Because what everyone made was so lovely, I thought I'd share them with you and encourage you to make a bookmark of your favorite book as a gift for someone.  I guarantee it will brighten their day!

Where the picture boxes touch, the front and back images are shown.

I would suggest clicking on the collage to get a better view of the loveliness.

1. The Last Unicorn á la Paula
2. The Lightning Thief á la Becky
3. White Cat á la Robyn
4. Graceling á la Diana
5. I Capture the Castle á la Fiona
6. The Diary of Anne Frank á la Caroline
7. Daddy Longlegs á la Kandice
8. The Lightning Thief á la Donna
9. Fallen á la Amy
10. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime (left) + Alice in Wonderland (right) to Becky á la me [also pictured: another Alice bookmark (middle), which is going to Velvet!  She doesn't know yet!  Well, now...]
11.  The Hunger Games á la Leslie
12. The Knife of Never Letting Go á la Angela (she was the someone awesome who had this idea!  This one is also my favorite!)

There's one more that didn't make it into the collage -- and that's the one Felina sent to me!  But there's a reason.  It has its own story.
So, almost 2 weeks ago, I told you about the BWB Children's Book Week sale, where books where 5/$10.  I got a whole mess of books, and one of them was a book I had seen a few times but really had no idea whether I would like.  It was called Flipped, and had a cute little cover of an upside-down chick.
Didn't know if it was any good, but I bought it anyway...Pure impulse buy.
And here is the bookmark Felina sent me, from one of her favorite books:

Is that not the freakiest coincidence?  Weird...

Anywho, aren't they all fab?  Thanks for this idea, Angela!
