emmadilemma commented on The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley
I rarely browse the library stacks. I place holds and the books are deposited on a shelf for me, containing a slip of paper with my name and the date by which I must collect it. That slip serves as my bookmark until I commit to keeping the book rather than throwing it back during chapter 2.
I have just replaced the slip of paper with my prized Renoir Dancer bookmark. It's been quite a long time.
