Tea is a reading essential for me, too. There's just something perfect about a hot cup of tea and a good book! I'm going to have to look into getting some book sleeves now. I carry a book with me everywhere, and I'm always worried about my books getting torn up in my backpack.

I just got my first ever book sleeves as a Valentine's day gift. Both of them are a cute Harry Potter themed bookshelf design. I got the one meant for normal sized books and the one meant for massive books like Harry Potter or Cassandra Clare, and I love them. I always had the same problem you have of never wanting to put books in my backpack but now I can put it in my backpack with no worries 😊

I have used the same off-white paint swatch for the last twelve years, since the wee days of eighth grade, as a bookmark. My friend started to draw their name on it, but got distracted, gave it to me to hang on to, put it in my book, and never looked back from there. Oddly enough, I designed a couple bookmarks a few years ago, but I think it's a bit precocious of me to use my own bookmark. Paint swatch crew, all the way.

I like to match the music to the book. Like if there's a tv show or movie adaptation of the book I'll listen to that. I read the first few Outlander books by Diana Gabledon and I feel like the sound track made me so much more immersed in the story. When it comes to eating and reading, ebooks are a life saver cause all you need is one finger to swipe to the next page and no worries about getting a book dirty x

I will use a receipt or something similar if I don't have a bookmark handy but I do enjoy using bookmarks and have quite the collection as well. I love book sleeves and own five of them (three were from subscription boxes) that are a variety of sizes because I like to keep my books looking nice especially the soft covers. Book Beau has come out with a special one for ApollyCon that I really want along with a few new Harry Potter inspired ones :D . I do enjoy music occasionally when reading so will listen to classical or Celtic music or will put on an ASMR video that has the sound of rain and or a thunderstorm and a fire. I tend to use my phone as a paperweight as well and to listen to audiobooks which I always go through Libby for. I've been tempted to try other audiobook services but I don't listen to enough audiobooks for a subscription to be worth it. I love tea as well and will usually get tea at B&N to drink especially if I plan on spending some time reading there which is usually Iced Green Tea but I do like to jump around with tea flavors. I also enjoy using Goodreads and really helps me keep track of books I've read also I can record my progress on a book if I don't happen to have my book journal with me at the time.

I've tried the book darts for several months now and I can tell you that they are pretty much weightless. You might have to be a little cautious while putting them on depending on how thin the paper is but I've marked like 20 books so far and I have never had a ripped page neither from putting on nor from any weight. As I said you almost can't feel any weight even with 20 of them in one book as they are so incredibly thin, it's amazing ^-^

My true only essential when I’m reading is to have background noise when I read, whether it be music when I’m out and about or the TV on while at home. I just need background noise. (Fun story: when I was elementary school, it was really loud in my classroom and I still managed to read. When my teacher told the class to turn down the volume on their voices, she said something along the lines of “How MaryBeth is able to read with all this noise I’ll never know.” That was the one and only time someone has ever questioned how I am able to read with noise). Other than that, I don’t need much.
