I’m going to be bold and just say it: any scrap of paper or old receipt can mark your place in a book, so why do you need these Halloween bookmarks? Don’t worry, I can provide you with several reasons why these are worth your while.
First of all, let’s romanticize our reading lives! Sure, a wayward Post-it can take you back to your page, but there is something lovely about sliding a carefully chosen bookmark into place, ritually stopping the reading session. It might be due to my perpetually disorganized state, but being the kind of person who uses a bookmark is very appealing to me. Extra points if you have different styles for different genres or moods. Look how fancy you are!
Why Halloween bookmarks in particular? Honestly, they’re just so fun! Spooky stuff is popular year-round, but it’s extra exciting to browse ghostly delights at this time of year. There is a vast range of ways to approach the topic: everything from horrific weapons to adorable ghosts to badass witches. Use a quirky, cool bookmark to show off a book club, to pad out the Boo Basket you’re leaving on your neighbor’s step, or simply to give yourself a smile. These options below barely scratch the surface of the variety available, but they’re a great start!
