I love my bookmark. It’s especially funny when I use it to read super serious books. Hat tip to @tylerjameshill.com for letting me know such a bookmark (and socks!) exist.

A bookmark on a black book. The bookmark has an illustration of Grover the muppet, from the book “The Monster At The End of This Book.” Grover has thrown up his hands, completely exasperated, with a speech bubble saying “YOU TURNED ANOTHER PAGE!”
