Bookmarks

Today I was given* a bookmark, which has on it a book I rather thought Eugenides might be interested in!



(Tove Janson’s ‘Moominmama’ reading How to build an empire)

This left me wondering, though...

1. What would Gen think of bookmarks?
(Yes, I know, they have scrolls. But bookmarks are small, precious, slip easily into pockets … perfect for Gen!)

2. What is MWT’s favourite bookmark?
(A big leather fob with ‘Not Telling’ embossed on it, I’m guessing ;P )

3. What are your favourite bookmarks? And why?
(Go on, photos...!)

*It’s my birthday.

Belatedly, thank you for the birthday wishes :)
I love the idea of all the tutors wondering "Where's my bookmark ... er, well, your highness, where had we got to at the end of the last lesson?"
As for the next-gen ;) of the Attolian royal family, I'd imagined twins, so no-one feels sad about the previous child, and yes, one of them light-fingered and the joy of Gen's heart. You can find them here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12857788/1/A-Royal-Steed
although there are more fics about them to follow :)
That's a lovely bookmark :)
