I don't annotate my books, but whenever I read a book that I own I always write my thoughts on the book on a blank page at the back of the book. Here I would say what my favorite scene was, how I felt about the romance or friendship, my general thought on the book and plot and my rating. Its not that detailed but I like looking back at books I read years ago and see what I thought.

Do I annotate my books? No. Do I love watching why/exactly how others annotate theirs? Yes. I like the idea of color-coded pens! One reason I don't annotate is that I feel like it would take me out of the story if I took too long to tab.

I was trained from an early age that it's a no-no to write or highlight in any book, but I am thinking of using notebooks, because I am a sucker for those since I still like to write my stories by hand first, to write my reviews instead of going off my memory for Goodreads. I love that everyone has their own style and how it develops and evolves. My opinion, it's your book do what you want to get a better experience out of it. Also, the blanket you were using is the same one my youngest has. He's gotten too tall, but he likes to cover up his blue lion Lincoln with it. 😊😀

I love watching how other people annotate. Personally I am not a big annotator, but I WANT TO BE. However, nothing has really stuck so I actually have a writing pad next to me and write reading notes. Alas, I may never be able to have my own annotating system, but I can watch others and imagine. Great video!

I started Twilight and bought a cheap used copy to annotate a couple weeks ago and I do very similarly to your process. Margin notes, color code with midliners and matching sticky tabs (the 5 color version of the ones you use) and legend in the beginning. I love the idea of matching pens as well to speed up the process while reading, and then going back after to highlight and tab after. And I completely agree that tearing into a book in that way is a lot of fun, and also very "aesthetic." It's my first time going all-in on annotating and its so much fun!

I love annotating my books. I am always changing my system for tabbing. The only colors that don't change are, green for quotes, orange for happy Emotions, yellow for angry emotions, and purple is almost always magic system. And of course pink is for romance and friendships. I have 10 different color tabs right now but I am hoping to find less colors. 10 is just kind of to much, I would love to have 7 or 8 at the most. And change what certain colors mean. I love the way you annotate, very interesting system. Hope you have a great day as well as your little girl.

Totally agree that you can't annotate until you've started reading and noticing things. I change what colours mean specifically because I read multiple different genre's and they just don't really work having the same colours for the same things across the board. Plus I'm a mood reader, I have books that I've focussed on writing for and books that literally just have tabs all over the place and scribbles saying "YAS!" or "WTF!" lol. Definitely a preference thing though :)

I love the idea of annotating books but I mainly read audiobooks. I used to be really diligent about writing quotes in a separate notebook but I've gotten out of the habit. I also don't typically physically annotate because I usually use the library for my physical books. Anywho, im really loving your videos. I love learning about other folks reading process! Edit: also im thinking about how I LOVE to buy someone's heavily annotated book from a thrift store or something. It's like having a reading buddy right there with you throughout the book. Just some encouragement for the people nervous to write in their books 😁

Ooo, thank you for this video! I liked seeing how your system has evolved over the years. It makes perfect sense for your colors to mean different things from book to book; it seems like it'd be pretty difficult to maintain the same system unless the reader only reads one type of fiction. It might be a waste to have a "pink for romance" tab when it's a horror story or thriller. My first English professor at college said we learn less by highlighting and more by taking notes, so that's what I do when I want to annotate. That keeps things consistent across formats -- audiobooks, ebooks, library books, and my own paper books -- when everything goes in a single dot-grid notebook.

Lol, I use the same tabs and pens! They’re so handy! I like to read slowly, so tabbing and writing things slowing me down doesn’t bother me much, but I totally understand how you use the pens to just underline and tab later, that’s a good trick. I’ve been journaling, my annotations, since I noticed that I have a lot of of thoughts about what I’m reading, so I tab the book, and do an outline in pencil, and then in the journal, I write the quote or the part that made me I guess “react” if that’s the right term, and then I write my thoughts. Then I use post it’s to kind of write down my thoughts after every chapter (every 2-3 if the chapters are short) 😅 I enjoy watching different kinds of annotation videos, they’re all so different, and so unique to each person, and I haven’t tried to annotate an audiobook yet, but that’s going to be a beautiful challenge. Thank you!

I enjoyed this! Because 95% of the books I buy and read end up in my classroom library, I tend to only annotate books I’m planning on teaching, so the last few books I’ve annotated are Beartown, Just Mercy, and Anger is a Gift. However, my method is pretty boring; I tend to just use pencil. I like your color-coding method, and I may have to adopt something similar to make it easier for me break down the different kinds of annotations I make, which would make it easier to discuss. Thank you for sharing! ❤️

Thank you for this wonderful video. I resonate a lot with how you annotate, and that it is different for each book. One thing for me is that I'm super careful about highlighters as they can bleed through to the next page, depending on the paper quality. So underlining is definitely my usual go to instead of highlighters.

This is how I WANT to annotate when I choose to do so. But I typically only annotate when reading nonfiction. I could see myself doing something like this with fiction when diving back into something for a reread that I've already experienced once and really want to "chew on" the second time around. Also, I really enjoyed actually reading your notes in this. Especially when you commented on a character being dumb. 😁

💛This was so fun to watch! When I started wanting to annotate my partner was horrified. They are a child of librarians and they all looked at me like I confessed to a murder. Our compromise is that I write in pencil. Which in the end worked out well because this way I don't lose all my stuff (pens etc) plus I make a lot of grammatical errors so I can just erase it and write it again. But I love your system! It's like reading someone's diary but a lot more fun because you already know you won't read sensitive stuff not for you. (or I assume)

I’m much more likely to annotate an ebook than I am a physical book and audiobooks I almost never bother with (but if I listen to an audiobook that I want to annotate I’ll try to get a digital or physical copy to pair with the audio and then annotate it). I was raised in a “no defacing” household but at some point during my education I had a few teachers who were adamant about annotating 😅

This is so pleasing! I have 2 types of books - those I'm not willing to write in (my nice hardcovers that I've collected - most of them are older) and those I am willing to write in (any books that I had for a class, or paperbacks. I don't do nearly as detailed annotations as you do, but sometimes word definitions or translations if I have to look something up, to save myself the time the next time I read it (I reread almost every book that I keep at some point). I think I'd retain a lot more if I were as detailed as you, but I'm an impatient reader. That's why I have to reread. :) Thank you so much for sharing your method. Oh, I noticed someone asked if you would lend an annotated book. On that topic, I recently purchased a couple of used books from different sources that came with tabs still in place. I was kind of excited because I wanted to see what the previous owner had noted. However, neither book had anything to indicate what the tabs were for, and there were so many that I couldn't figure out what was being noted. Hahaha!

Thanks for sharing. I never learned how to annotate, except (oddly) my bible when I was in middle school. I'm reading an Unkindness of Ghosts and the main character is just resonating with me so much so I'm using tabs to annotate. I actually ran out of Blue which was the color I was using for sections about Aster that made me feel seen and so now I feel like I have to stop until I get more tabs delivered on Thursday. Thanks for sharing the links to the supplies you use. I like the large pack of tabs that sounds excellent. I'm not sure if/when I'll feel more comfortable writing in my books. I think I just have a hard time going back and I frequently don't want to stop to write. I should give it a try sometime though.

I love the idea of annotating other books as well but whenever I try to do it I'm forcefully reminded of the fact that my handwriting is terrible etc. and then I don't want to do it anymore. :'D

Annotating after you stop reading is such a good idea. I might start doing that bc I have noticed that it really slows me down to just annotate as I go. I have a lot of highlighters and pens in various abnormal colors that I use for annotating and for class work / notes. I have trouble reading a text that is only in one cover and isn't double spaced so it's a must for me. Finally I really only annotate books I know I'm going to be reviewing. I'm a STEM major so I don't really read novels for school anymore but I have a very heavily annotated Frankenstein from my senior year AP lit class

Love this video! I love writing in my books, especially when I reread the book later and get to see my thoughts from the first time. I also love getting books and textbooks that have been annotated by other people. I teach my kiddos how to annotate at the beginning of the school year and see a huge influx of understanding, comprehension and accountability by the end of the year. It also helps me with small groups and seeing what my kids need help with. It's awesome!! ❤

I haven't annotated my books since college, but this makes me want to do so again. I got so much more out of the books I annotated. Thank you!

I just annotate as I feel at the moment. Sad blue, romance pink, funny yellow, pay attention orange, green for wel written or quote i like. Other than those I just write my thoughts in the bylines of the book as I go. Also I do this all on the second read. I read the first time without annotating.

Inkjoy pens are so amazing!! Love how they write! I highlight, write in, and tab all while reading and yes it does take time lol but I don’t color code like pink means one thing and yellow means another. I just match the tabs to the cover. So if I’m reading a book with a pink cover, I’ll use pink tabs, pink pen, and pink highlighter lol I could never remember what each color tab was supposed to mean 🤣 Great video! ❤️Nicole

I find annotating so interesting! I've only ever tabbed books cause I personally don't like writing in them, but that definitely seems helpful for reviews

Thanks for the video. I think I'm going to use this for historical books or non fiction books, if I can manage to write in a book. Really good advice.

Can you talk about how you annotate library books? I would love to start annotating but I always borrow books so I’m not sure how to without writing directly in them, especially when it comes to underlining/highlighting.

Annotating books is such an interesting idea - at this point I'll add a post it for something I want to come back to but that's about it. Definitely handy for reviewing - will have to rewatch for some tips on how to start annotating my books!

For some reason I've never gotten into annotating fiction. I annotate the nonfiction I read like crazy! For my own purposes, the way that I approach reading fiction, there doesn't seem to be a point in annotating fiction (like I said, for me). I also have a color system that changes from book to book, but I never thought to include a key! I'm totally gonna start doing that!

This is making me want to get back to really annotating books. I used to really love it while taking lit classes but fell out of it with my own books but it helps so much in getting into the meat of a novel.

This is fascinating. I'm curious to see how other people enjoy their reading. I'm a casual tabber. In other words, your very first system where I would just point out sentences or parragraphs that stood out to me. I often find myself highlighting and annotating more in e-books than physical copies. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I've done some videos about annotating in books but they look so rubbish compared to this, I love it! I also love that your notes look similar to mine for a first read through! Very reactionary and a decent amount of swearing at bad characters lol

Thank you so much for doing this video. I have just started for the first time to annotate in a book that I am reading. I have to admit the first time I placed a mark on the page it made me very uncomfortable. That was the hardest part I'm about 175 pages in the book and I am loving it and I feel like I am getting so much more out of the story and because this is a series I think it will be easier it I need to go back iI need to check something out, Sorry for rambling on but I am really excited and thankful for your ideas. Take care
