I saw this picture and post on the Facebook page of The Reading Room and thought it was interesting. I wanted to share it with you all! Have you ever left something in a book (on purpose) for another reader, like this note? Or have you ever left something in a book accidentally? Ooh, have you ever found something in a book, like a note or something else?
The only time I remember intentionally leaving something in a book was when I gave a friend (who was moving far away) a book – I left a note at the end. I don’t think I’ve accidentally left anything behind in a book in a long time. After working in a library for a few years, I’ve developed a habit of flipping through books – either when returning them to the library or returning/loaning to a friend.
Personally, I’ve only found bookmarks, receipts, or blank pieces of paper (bookmarks) in books that I get from the library or used bookstore. When I worked at the library, though, I found all kinds of things!!
I think it would be kind of cool to find a note like these in a book! So, I’m going to try to remember to do this on occasion! I really like this idea! So, have any of you ever left or found a note (or something else) in a book? What did you leave or find?
I’ve never found anything in a book before…like ever. But if I found a note and said grab tissues or stop reading, I would die! And by die I mean, that’s kinda cool provided the note didn’t have spoilers! *snickers* I mostly use my e-reader so I don’t know how many opportunities I will have to leave someone a note but if the opportunity presents itself, I will.
Yeah, can’t really leave a note with an e-book & I use my Kindle a lot too!! I agree, definitely no spoilers in a note!! That would totally suck! I’m going to try to remember this though & leave a few notes here and there. It’s hard with library books too, because if the library staff is on the ball, they’ll clean out the notes!
Thanks for commenting!! Happy reading!!
What a fun idea! No, I have never found a treasure in a book, other than the story itself. I will have to do that one day
I loan out books to friends (Outlander to my sister soon) and I will try to remember to do that.

I think it’s a fun idea & I definitely want to do it sometime! Soooo, the next book I loan you may or may not have a note in it, LOL!! Thanks for stopping by!
