Here’s a paper thin book mark that turns into a light

This is the first book mark that I’ve seen that doubles as a “flashlight”. It’s the Book Mark Light from the Design Bloom Shop. The book mark is actually a circuit board that has been printed on a thin film with special conductive ink.

The Book Mark Light performs like a traditional book mark to save your page, but when you sandwich a CR2032 lithium coin cell battery between both ends, it lights up.

You can read more about the Book Mark Light and order one for $16 from designbloom.com

Wally is a whimsical bookworm bookmark for your analog books

I haven’t read a book in non-digital form for… well, I can’t even remember the last “book” I read. I prefer to read on my phone or a tablet, but one thing that I miss from reading physical books are bookmarks.

Every time Anime Causa comes out with a new bookmark, I smile, and this latest one smiles right back at you. It’s the Wally – Clip Bookmark and it really is a bookworm.

Wally is made of plastic and comes in green, blue, and red. It clips over the corner of a page in the book to mark the spot in a whimsical way.

Kids will love Wally and he might even make them ask for story time more often.

Visit Anime Causa for more info and to order one for $9.99.

Nessie the Loch Ness Monster will mark your page

The imaginative people at Animi Causa are at it again. This time with this ultra cute book marker. The Nessie Tale Bookmark is a plastic book marker that fits between the pages of your book to mark your spot in a way that no ordinary book mark can do.

Animi Causa must have a thing for Nessie because they offer several other Nessie products like the Nessie soup ladle that we told you about last year.

Each bookmark is $9.99 or you can buy a set of three for $17. Head over to Animi Causa for more info and to order.
