I have just realized that I posted the WRONG bookmark on the wrong day, meaning this one is actually labeled, Number 19 though I'm posting it on today, the 20th. I was inspired to design this one after attending a recent literary event where several authors were discussing their enjoyment of reading! I TOO love to read, and write, and design and market. . . ok, I'll stop.
