I received some nice bookmarks with a postcard from Peru! Thanks to Mery!
Peru is a country in western South America. It is bordered on the north by Ecuador and Colombia, on the east by Brazil, on the southeast by Bolivia, on the south by Chile, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean.
The Peruvian population estimates at 29.5 million. The main spoken language is Spanish, although a significant number of Peruvians speak Quechua or other native languages.

Eiffel
The handmade bookmark with the Eiffel tower. Thank you, Liuda!
The Eiffel Tower (French: La Tour Eiffel, nickname La dame de fer, the iron lady) is a puddle iron lattice tower in Paris. Built in 1889, it has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The tower is the tallest building in Paris and the most-visited paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. Named for its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair.

Stieg Larsson
Two paper bookmarks of the Stieg Larson's Millennium series. I really can recommend to read these books!!!
Karl Stig-Erland Larsson (15 August 1954 – 9 November 2004), who wrote professionally as Stieg Larsson, was a Swedish journalist and writer.
At his death, Stieg Larsson left three unpublished novels that made up the Millenium trilogy: the first - Män som hatar kvinnor ("Men who hate women"), published in English as "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"; the second - "Flickan som lekte med elden" (The Girl Who Played with Fire); the third novel "Luftslottet som sprängdes" ("The air castle that was blown up"), published in English as "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest".
It became a posthumous best-seller in several European countries as well as in the United States. He was the second best-selling author in the world in 2008, behind Khaled Hosseini. By March 2010, his "Millennium series" had sold 27 million copies in more than 40 countries.
