How clever is this?! Robin from In My Book contacted me with a sample of her wonderful greeting card bookmarks, and has offered one to each of THREE winners!
Here’s a description of the product, straight from the In My Book website. It describes me to a “T” – a thrifty recycler/reuser who loves books and giving bookish gifts (thankfully, I’ve yet to use a bologna slice as a bookmark!):
Book lovers are usually known to be economical people and recycling enthusiasts. And they love their books with a passion. You know the saying: “So many books, so little time?“
So, for those of you who support recycling and want to find inexpensive gifts that serve more than one purpose, here’s a nifty idea… A greeting card that perforates to become a bookmark! So throw away those crumpled receipts, old index cards, bologna slices, ripped up parking tickets, and get yourself (and all your friends) some real bookmarks. …some IN MY BOOK® cards!
The cards are printed on heavy watercolor paper, with lighthearted but meaningful gray-scale illustrations by Meredith Hamilton. Inside is blank for your own greeting, and a neatly perforated edge allows the recipient to pull off the front of the greeting card to use it as a durable and personal bookmark.
There are 15 styles, all are headed with “In my Book” and have an illustration that reflects the sentiment. For example: a bed (with book splayed open) and “you’re in between the covers”; Tarzan swinging through the jungle and “you’re quite a character”; a women taking a book down from the highest spot in the case and “you’re top shelf.”
Robin sent me this “you’re in between the covers” greeting. I’m going to tuck it in a book that J will open on Christmas morning 
. I like the quality of the paper, the cute illustration, and the space to write my personal greeting. In My Book is a thoughtful way to send a note to a friend, and a nice extra to include with a gift book.
Each unique greeting card/bookmark comes with an eye-catching bright red mailing envelope. In My Book products sell for $3.95 online, and at select bookstores, museum shops, and gift boutiques. You can search online to find a store near you that carries In My Book.

Oh, they are all so adorable! I think I’d like to try for the “Top Shelf” one. I’d love to give it to our school’s librarian. What a great find this is!
They are all so nice, but I think I would like the “Rare” one. Even if I don’t win, I will be buying some from Robin’s website for gift-giving!
I love the You’re “Top Shelf” book mark!

I love “You’re novel” – just adore the picture in that one! What a great giveaway!
Such clever cards, such a neat idea. I like the ‘some dish’ card, love the animals in the picture.
So cool! I especially love “you’re voluminous”. If I had some extra cash right now, I would definitely buy some to use as thank you cards.
I think I like “You’re quite a character”

I love You’re The Last Word. Thanks for this unique giveaway.
I would love to have “You’re a Mystery” Thank you for for the giveaway.
You’re a Dish! If this came with a man doing the cooking I could get it for my (male) chef. I may get it for him anyway!
These are adorable! I love the “Character” one with Tarzan!
What a great giveaway. I’d like to be included and if I win, I would love “You’re Rare” I think that sums up my favorite reads. “Character” is another fun one.
A great idea to combine a card and a bookmark. I think I will try to persuade my daughter to make some

These are adorable and it’s hard to pick just one. I can narrow it down to “You’re novel”, “You’re top shelf” or the “who-dunnit” bookmark. Thanks for such a fun give away.
I love them all – they are so cleverly designed. My favorite, I guess, is the top shelf one – but that could change!!
They were all so cute! I couldn’t decide, but I did narrow it down to “you’re novel” or “you’re the happy ending”
