- The one where I gab about a few of my fave bookish accessories. None of these are groundbreaking, but they definitely make my reading experience more enjoyable!
As promised, here's a couple Etsy sites with adorable book sleeves!

Matching the paint swatch to the secondary color on the book is next level extra! I love it! 💜
you know we have to be extra around here! ;)
I never thought of using paint swatches for bookmarks. What a great idea. Thank you so much.
Happy to share!!
I’ve been using paint swatches as bookmarks for forever!!! So glad to see another bookish friend doing the same :) great vid!!
Yay! Thank you!
I also have a long thinking process to choose a bookmark! Hey, it's a fun, important decision!😋
OMG! Pop socket on the back of the kindle is a GREAT idea! I ended up buying an Oasis just because of the "holding experience", but could have saved so much money if I had just invested in a pop socket! 😂
Lol I hear the oasis is great so it was still a sound investment 😉
Patty-I just started using my practice pages from watercolour projects for bookmarks. I cut them up into different sizes. I was raised to never dog-ear my books. Magazines are a different story. I don't have an e-reader, kindle etc. I keep the physical book with me at all times. I keep a record on the front page as to how/where I received the book and the dates I re-read the book. I tried to keep track of my thoughts about the book after I read it, but it became too laborious and took away some of the experience from me. I've never really had an interest in audiobooks. I sometimes listen to help me understand a part of the story that isn't working for me, then I go back and read the book, which helps. I still have to read the physical book. I know. I'm old school. 😀
Paint swatch bookmarks. That’s genius! 😊
Free and so many options to choose from!
I also have sticky notes. Can't live without them 🙈.
Bookmarks are a definite must have. I normally get mine free from book stores.
Free bookmarks are the best!
Good accessories. I love to make my own bkmarks, occasionally will buy one , if Really good and many libraries around me make them FREE to take. Some by adults some by children. The kids ones are so cute and whimsical, fun to have. Thanks for sharing these s.
Love the paint swatch bookmark idea!
Yay, thank you!
Omg I’m going to steal the paint swatches from u❤ great idea
The paint swatch bookmark portion of this video was my absolute favorite! I never would have thought of using them. Even better, is the fact that you take time to color coordinate the strips with your books! A person after my own heart! 💕 I actually need to stop by the paint aisle soon. So, you know I’ll be picking up some extra strips!
Haha yes! A free and easy way to color coordinate. You know us bookworms like to match every now and then 😉
I crochet my book sleeves and e reader sleeve as well...and it's nice
Ideas don't have to be revolutionary to be interesting, and your excitement over matching your paint swatch bookmarks to books was adorable! I also read a lot faster on my device (I'm a Kobo girl) and am probably a 97% digi-reader because I find it so convenient in so many different ways. My most recent accessory is one of those gooseneck floor stands for tablets etc so that when I'm reading in bed, it's hands-free apart from page turning - which helps me become an even 'lazier' reader lol! TFS :)
Haha it’s not lazy, it’s smart! 😉
Oh wow!!! Paint swatches as bookmarks is a great idea. Going to Home Depot tmmrw. Thanks 😊
You are so welcome!
I love idea of matching paint-sample bookmarks to books! :)
I really love the paint swatch idea ❤
About fifteen (?) years ago, I knitted cozies for my old Nook reader and also for a smallish 10"x12" Bamboo graphics tablet👣. They have some knitted-in details and handles for looping over one's wrist while carrying the all-important beverage. They were stashed away unused when I saw this video and realized they would make great book totes/sleeves/cozies/carrying-devices for both hard covers and paperbacks. Yea. Now I don't have to schlep books awkwardly or worry about stuff getting banged up in the tote bag.
👣A gadget that I've used about three times and will be giving away to a good home soon so it gets some love. Anybody want it, hollar! It's old but almost new.
Instructions: stockinette for the body, topped by about two inches of 1-1 ribbing and 3-stitch continuous knit handles. Knit in the round, or flat and either fold over or "body bag" with a blanket stitch seam in an accent color.
I love your recommendations!! And love your videos!!! Thank you for always sharing with your wonderful personality !
Thanks so much for watching!!
So cute 💕 Loved the bookmark idea 🎨
I’m chock-ful of ideas 😂
Loved seeing all your bookish accessories! I use a lot of them myself, though I never thought of using paint swatches as bookmarks. That’s brilliant!
Glad to let you all in on my little secret! 😘
I love using the matching paint swatches as bookmarks. Great idea. I also take colorful paper clips and tie some colorful ribbons on for a cute frilly bookmark. Book darts are also a great accessory.
That’s an adorable idea!
It’s so cool to see someoone else use paint swatches as bookmarks. I really thought that was something everyone did until I was like 20
Hahah, great minds! 😉
OMG thank you I'm not the only one OCD about matching bookmarks to books!!
Haha you’re not alone!!
I love that you match your bookmark to your book.... over here being thankful that I am not alone. :)
Haha you’re amongst good company here!
Omgoodness I match my paint swatch bookmarks to my books too! :)
Yessss! It’s the little things, am I right?
I annotated my first book! It was the cozy mystery bookclub pick and I might continue to do it with bookclub picks. I enjoyed it but also at the same time I felt like it made the book feel a little like homework instead of relax time.
I hear ya! Definitely a happy balance. Maybe next time try marking up a book that’s not for bookclub? That may make it seem less like homework. And also don’t feel like you need to call out profound stuff! I’ve written things like “LOL, wut?!” by scenes and dialogue that makes me laugh!
Thanks for another great video. I’m so glad I found your channel!
You’re too sweet! Thank you so much!!
I love the idea of have paint swatches as bookmarks and yes, read People We Meet on Vacation. I really enjoyed it! :)
Yay! Okay, I need to get on it ASAP then!
Love the paint swatch idea! I'll be picking some of those up next time I'm at Home Depot 😁 And I agree... the pop socket on my Kindle was a GAME-changer!! So much easier to hold onto.
😆
Oh my!! I also used to use the samples of paint bookmark to match my books 😂😂😂
great minds! 😊
Thanks for the pop thingy idea. I’m definitely going to get one for my kobo: they’ve put the power button on the bottom just where it rests on my pinkie finger so it randomly turns off while I’m reading. Pop thingy will save the day!!
Woohoo!
Senior David Here! I only read ebooks! I always have my tea cup warmer nearby and a sheet of paper to write down a character's relation to other characters in a cozy mystery (Wish books had character indexes in the front)!
I'm trying out a new way of reading ebooks. I use the kindle app on my 27 inch computer monitor, Really like it, You don't have to hold an ebook reader in your hand and you have so much more room on a large screen and I don't have to wear glasses!!
Your videos are great and you look like you are enjoying yourself!! Please do more - David
PS - I spent the last 14 years of working at a small local library and never once read a book until I retired!!
That’s so interesting, David! Better late than never when it comes to reading! Reading on the computer can be very comfortable, I’ve done it before and enjoy the larger screen.
Omg I thought I was the only one that didn’t write /bend pages on my books
I went through a phase of buying popsocket for my phone that were cute...I ended up with to many and just thought to stick one on my kindle because...why not...and that was a game changer! So glad I did.
Right?! It’s easily one of the smartest things I’ve done in life 😂
When you pulled out the kindle with the pop socket my jaw literally dropped. Genius. Like why didn’t I think of that on my own? Thanks for sharing I loved this video!
It’s a game changer when it comes to reading for hours on the kindle!! Hope you give it a try! 😘
I have a material case on my kindle it is so old and grubby but I love it I can't bring myself to buy another one lol.
Loving the paint swatch idea guess who's off to the DIY store tomm ! Lol x
Hooray!! Have fun!
I also match my bookmarks to my books! It's a thing! I want to try using the paint swatches for my boys though. It would be a good way for them to jot down a quote or a word that was new to them, or to make a prediction (especially during those mysteries!).
I LOVE that! What a great idea!
Extremely helpful. Thank you I am going to get paint swatches and a pop socket. I have the oasis and hate the feel of it without a case but want to use it without one this may be the perfect fix. :)
Hooray! I’ve found the popsocket still makes it comfortable to hold even without a case
I read so much faster on my kindle. SOOOOO much faster! I love my sticky notes and my highlighters for my books. My husband actually uses a popsocket for his kindle as well! I love my kitty cat case that I always use. It's magnetic in its closure and it is super nice. I really want to read more physical books because I want to mark them up! I LOVE the paint swatch bookmarks!!!
I’m the same way - ebooks are faster but I love collecting books as well. Bookworm probs!
When my friends go on vacation I ask them for postcards. Now I have postcard- bookmarks from all over the world
I love this idea! I collect postcards when I travel as well
3M makes clear sticky notes now :)
My wallet is crying at the thought 🤣
omg I'm new here, but you just made a subbie for life with your color coordinated bookmarks!! I tried making a periwinkle/magenta bookmark just for Finlay Donovan lol!
Lol yesss! It’s such a simple and fun thing to do ☺️
Thanks for the idea for the bookmarks. I collect bookmarks. I'm going to Lowe's today.....
Yes!! Stock up!! 👏🏽
Awesome video!
Thanks, dear!
Lol it sounds like we would be friends I put a ton of thought into things like bookmarks and such too
Yessss, girl! ☺️
Never heard of a pop socket. Guess that won't work with my Kindle case. Also I got a 10"
Depending on the material it might! But I find with a pop socket you don’t need a case, but both could work!
I have two pop-sockets on my kindle 😂
2?! Interesting! Why 2?
I loved the bookmark matching concept so I just must be one of your people!
You’re definitely one of my people! 🥰
