I recently got my hands on the 'It's Not Hoarding' beaded bookmark, and it's quickly become a favorite in my collection. The vibrant colors and adorable design make it stand out every time I pick up a book.

What surprised me most was how well it stays in place. Despite its glossy finish, which I initially thought might make it slip, it grips the pages perfectly. No more losing my spot mid-read!

The tassel adds a playful touch, though I do agree with other reviewers that the packaging could be improved to protect it better during shipping. Mine arrived slightly tangled, but nothing a quick fix couldn't handle.

I've found myself reaching for this bookmark more often than others - there's something about its cheerful design that makes reading even more enjoyable. It's like having a little friend keeping me company through every chapter.

While the protective sleeve seems a bit excessive (I ended up storing mine separately), the bookmark itself is sturdy enough to withstand regular use without extra protection. It's held up beautifully through several books already.

Whether you're buying for yourself or as a gift (it would make a perfect little present for bookworms), this charming bookmark delivers both in function and personality. It's one of those small things that unexpectedly brightens your reading routine.
