annotation tutorial!

[@ruth25.]

for everyone in the comments who are offended by the creator folding the pages: it’s their book, they can do what they like with it. it’s okay if you don’t want to fold the pages of your book, but just because you don’t doesn’t mean that everyone shouldn’t.

[@futuresoup_]

FRL their logic is like "IM on a diet so I'll get mad at you if YOU eat a cookie that you baked for YOURSELF."

[@PrettyNifty-xx3zc]

No

[@Joanneyxx]

@@futuresoup_yeah exactly

[@luheartsjx]

honestly, I cannot say how much I admire and respect people that annotate books in a cute, deep, important way. I just write things like “KISSKISSKISS”, “T+A?”, “SERIOUS ANGER ISSUES”, “UNHINGED?!” or “SHUT UP OMG”. I don’t usually write in all caps, these are all examples btw

[@altheafilmstuff]

dw that's how I annotate e-books HAHA

[@luheartsjx]

u're not the only one 😭😭😭

i have mad respect for ppl wo WRITE in their book

"For all the people that are saying I'm too scared to mutilate the book with highlighting etc, remember what a book is for. It's for learning knowledge. It's not a piece of art. If you are retaining more knowledge from the book by highlighting it, it's a good thing. Besides when you put the book back in your bookshelf, it looks exactly the same." I saw this comment on another KZbin video, and it changed my reading life forever. Now, I buy books to annotate. Try it-it's just a bunch of papers. You can always buy a new copy if you don't like it. But trust me. Once you start to annotate u can't go back. xD

[@Shark-dt2mk]

Actually literature is a piece of art. Unless you’re reading non-fiction the purpose isn’t for you to learn something from the book

[@Beatice.Mbugua]

@@Mr.RottenBread I write this half a year ago- and that time is when I wrote in pen only because I hated pencil creases and smudges now I actually like writing in my book, i forgot about this comment lol. Hope this clears this up.

[@kiaowens2856]

I really wanna start annotating my books but I treat them like untouchable portals to new worlds and cringe when I think of writing in them. But I think I’ll start with some books I had to buy from for college bc I’m re reading a lot of them I enjoyed.

[@altheafilmstuff]

i used to be really protective over my books too! i think i began annotating around the time i started buying second hand, which is weird cus i dislike annotating used books over new ones haha

[@kianadoescod6402]

I collect beautiful editions of my favourite books and then annotate the living heck out of the regular mass produced printed copies 😅I feel better that way 😂

[@niniprint7]

i felt so seen by you dog earing the pages.. THANK YOU SM

[@darrowofyomama]

i personally love the way dog eared books look, though i know it’s the biggest bookish sin for most ppl so i don’t when reading borrowed books from the library or my friends.

[@minimalimakata]

no bc THANKYOUUUU SO MUCCHHH OMGGGGG, i found dog earing the pages actually effective for me since highlighting a bunch of stuff at once always distract me a lot😭😭😭👐

[@dimensionalMystery]

i love how i've gone from "how could you do that to a book??" to "it's their property but no thanks" to "what a beautiful way to engage with the book" lol

[@sophieknoles1659]

I dog ear the fuck out of my pages! Thanks for the vid! 💕

[@honeybawnches2016]

Some people don’t know that when you read another person’s annotated book, you get a glimpse of their thinking at the time, what they like, etc. or at least that’s how I see it.

[@altheafilmstuff]

so true!

[@-agrios-1749]

I also annotate after reading a book, but i like books basically untouched so i dont write in these just remamber what was special about the sentence which i tabbed and as my bookmark i use a piece of paper and everytime i like a quote i just put a little poece of that piece of paper in the book (it doesnt fall out and i sometimes just mark what i wanted to remamber with pencil but always know why i marked that page after reading it anyways)

[@girishdmaru3022]

Heyy there... Can you give a brief idea..? Like what do you write in the book...and what you underline in it..?

[@enfermagembenfermagemb2251]

Imagine tabbbing at once a 800 page books. But great tips though ❤

[@kristalt.7404]

Finally! Mah sister who dog-ear a book! People always commented that dog-earing a page is evil. HAHAHAHA

[@cheese2587]

I 100% know every book worm in a 1000 mile radius felt a disturbance.

[@eroticaxx]

I should do this bc I always lose a bit I want to come back to and it’s SO hard to find for not dam reason 😭 Ifykyk

[@CassieRose8]

I mean dog ear all you want, but you could also put a tab there as you read, wouldnt be too distracting and you can even tab the exact spot on the page you want to go back and write/highlight afterwards.

[@FelixChillAccount]

Im slowly filling my youtube shorts and tik tok recommendation with book annotations! Great video! I cant wait to see more💕

[@Godsleast_fav]

excuse me- DOG EAR THE PAGES?!? UR DONE. UR DONE.

[@altheafilmstuff]

haha!

[@heroshijoeabejuela]

I do the same thing, nothing's wrong with it.

[@Godsleast_fav]

@@heroshijoeabejuela 🚪👈

[@heroshijoeabejuela]

I dog ear the pages, and I highlight the pages as well and when I finish the book, I write a brief summary in my notes so I can recall the things that I learned in the book. Nothing is absolutely wrong in doing this, calm down everyone.

[@josedesilencio8851]

Dog-earring a book is sacrilegious.

[@foozito]

There are three kinds of book owners: those who never read their books, those who keep them pristine, and those who truly own and use them, with worn pages and notes throughout.

[@455nikki]

Bending the corners is honestly painful for me to see. I don’t know if it’s just me, but it’s like nails on a chalkboard.

[@ducksducksducks]

those tabs are beautiful 💝!! where do you get them from?

[@altheafilmstuff]

i buy them online! they're on shopee or amazon :))

[@PalynConger]

See, I wanna annotate my books but I’m so scared I’ll mess up- 😭

[@frostyantiromantic7910]

Ooooh I love this 🙈

Please like this so I can get back to it. I’ll save it later

[@njm2496]

I love this ❤❤

[@Adaevie]

Wait does it bleed through? That’s the one thing I’m worried about when annotating. Even if I put something between where I writing and the next page it will bleed into the sheet that it shares.

[@altheafilmstuff]

i make sure to use pens and highlighters that don't bleed! especially when the pages are thinner :D

[@ledairagwynettenavalta]

How to know if it’s related to the plot and where can you see the plot?

[@Sunny-ke1ie]

where did you get the ruler type thing which the tabs were stuck on?

[@altheafilmstuff]

it comes with the tabs! you can find a lot of them online and in different styles :DD

[@anuraktaray4255]

First things first, you can do anything with your book. But it makes me uncomfortable folding the pages of my book. Even writing on it with a pen, creating any permanent mark. It's too much chaos. I prefer writing notes on a post it. Or sticking tags. Underlining with a pencil. Call me weird but that's what suits me. I like keeping my books looking fresh so that if someone else has to read it , the book won't feel cluttered or overpowered.

[@exolswiftly]

do u tap every page you wrote something on it or just the ones you think u want to return to?

[@altheafilmstuff]

just the ones i wanna return to!

[@riddhighosh3628]

What's that pen??

[@mithu2005]

I’m still confused

[@ASIANRELAXATIONANDMEDITATION]

You ruined the book

[@aud3112]

we have the same tabs idk i find that cool 🫶🏻
