You’re browsing a raffle basket at a library fundraiser — cozy mugs, scented candles, dog-eared paperbacks — and then, tucked between a bookmark shaped like a cat and a jar of lavender honey, you see it:
A tiny wooden thing.
Curved.
Carved like a fox? A bat? A dragon’s claw?
It looks like something out of a fairy tale, or maybe a medieval weapon for very polite scholars.
And for a second… you have no idea what it is.
Then it clicks.
💡 Ohhh.
It’s a thumb book holder.
And suddenly, your brain floods with memories: late-night reading under the covers, crowded subway commutes, trying to hold a floppy paperback open with one hand while eating chips with the other.
That little wooden gadget?
It wasn’t just useful.
It was genius.
🤔 What Is a Thumb Book Holder?
