I have written before about my penchant for reading fiction, especially what some people would call beach reads or bodice rippers Recently, I hit the jackpot at a used bookstore. I got twelve books and each of them was less than $1 in price.

I shopped the bargain bins. I found lots of biographies, but most of the books I got were fiction. A few of them were, in fact, what my dad would have called "trashy novels."

If, like me, you are a fan of not-quite-Pulitzer-worthy novels, proclaim it to the world with your very own Trashy Novel bookmark. I stitched mine on cream-colored Aida with Sullivan floss. You may want to use plastic canvas or perforated paper.

What do you do with them after you read them? I love bodice rippers, lol, but they are super expensive here. Let’s make a deal!
