Yes, World Book Day is upon us and alas, is almost over. We hope you've had a day full of costumes, stories and fun! Unless you're one of *those* people who earmark the pages of their books ... one essential thing for readers around the world are bookmarks. Here we are going to take a look at some of the best bookmarks.

Every book lover needs to have one of these bookmarks. I'm pretty sure we've all hugged a book before and pulled that expression, especially when a new book we've been waiting for has finally been released. Other times this face may have occurred could be when you're having a bad day and return home to find your books waiting for you, the book was written by a favourite author of yours, or it's a book you poured your heart and soul into after many hours of writing. And you know what? I'm not even ashamed to say that this bookmark would be perfect for me.

Take your loved ones and precious memories with you wherever you go! Many people refuse to leave the house without a book in their bag, after all, you never know when you may get stuck in congestion and need to pass some time. Now, you can bring your memories with you at the end of a lovely piece of ribbon, that will also protect the page you're on and stop you from losing your place. These are home made trinkets from Consumer Crafts.

If you have children in the family, there will be perfect for encouraging the little bundles of joy to read and to enjoy reading. They are colourful but simple, with lovely little characters for the kids to be drawn to. And the puns will amuse the adults for a while too!

Here's a creative idea for the gamers which absolutely tickled me! How appropriate and amusing. Anyone who has ever played a game in their life will recognise this sight and hopefully appreciate it for what is it. It doesn't hurt that they're reading a George R. R. Martin book either.

I love how these little fellows pop out of the top of the book. One of the most satisfying feelings I can get is to look at a book I am reading and see how much progress I am making (Goodreads has helped with that a lot in the past year). They're colourful and simple, and are such awe-inspiring creatures that this just couldn't not be on the list. Just be careful you don't try to catch the butterflies to release them, or you risk losing your page and you will probably experience that brief heart attack when you try to open the book quickly so you can save the page. Not that that ever works.

It doesn't necessarily have to be Harry Potter characters, but how awesome would it be to have your favourite characters watching over your page? To be able to look at these characters every day, as if they were real people and really were your friends, just because you can visualise them. Is that getting too weird? Anyway ... moving on. You know your book would be safe with Harry and Hermione watching over it, Ron however... well, he'd better watch where he points that wand. If I open my book and it's at the wrong page, I would know who to blame!
