as a literature student, i cannot imagine not annotating my books... i don't write in my books, i just underline things, but often the pages are filled with post it notes! i love it so much, and like you said, it makes the reading experience a lot more enhanced!
@andshereads Жыл бұрын
I annotate but it's always on a reread. The first time through I just read it for what it is. For me it makes choosing categories easier and I pick up on things better the second time through. I've learned recently that my retention on first read is major plot points only. I was reading fan theories about Fourth Wing and Iron Flame and had no idea what people were talking about. Doing the annotation on the reread helps me retain stuff so much better one cause I'm rereading it and two because I know what's important to connect things to. I also have this thing where I try to get everything perfect on the first try so it takes the pressure off making annotation categories perfect.

I have this HUGE crush on a girl and we often fangirl together about different things. And she told me about her favorite fan fics. So, I wanted to print out and bind the fan fic to turn it into a PHYSICAL book, and annotate it so we could still fan girl together despite reading at different times. I’ll give her the book along with a journal I write in every time I miss her. Please wish me luck!

Your tabs are really satisfying. My biggest tips for annotating beginners is to use just a regular pen and a favourite book you already read. Reason being is you already know that you like it, so you probably won't regret writing in it since you're keeping it. Just underline and circle important parts and write comments in the margins if you're not sure where to start!

i remember like 2020-2021 booktok where people would have like 6-7 different colour tabs in a book for romance, sad parts, funny parts etc and I tried annotating like that but omg it was actually the worst 😭😭 it always pulled me out the moment - reading a sad chapter and having to dig around for my blue tabs and highlighter instead of keep reading knowing that I'm never gonna reread it. now I only have 3 - quotes I love, a general one for anything, and *sometimes* lore/worldbuilding if I'm reading a big fantasy or smth. it just makes the process so much more fun and not like ur continuously analysing every time a character makes a joke so u can put down a yellow tab.

Honestly this helped me a lot for a first time annotation! I used the book tabs with a similar colour of my book cover, it looked pretty🎀

Great video on annotating. I annotate books differently based on genre. For mystery and thriller physical books, I use clear post-it notes to write my thoughts in the book and use color highlighter tape to highlight specific quotes and sentences. It's likely I won't reread a mystery or thriller because I know what's going to happen. This way, I can lend out these books or haul them after removing the sticky notes and such.

I don't annotate my books, I only ever tab things. I feel like it would hurt my soul too much to write in my books haha but I do always always always take notes on my current reads on my phone and save those in Notion later on. I do love looking back on the notes I took for some of my reads. Some of the books I've read have Notion pages assigned to them with whole essays worth of thoughts. Some of them cohesive, some of them very much not 😂 Usually when I tab a book I choose one single tab colour (that fits the cover of the book) and then I just tab things by gut feeling. For most books I don't use more than 20 or so tabs (sometimes only 5) so it's not really worth it to set up a whole tab-key. I just tab everything my gut tells me "oh I wanna tab that", no matter for what reason, with the same tab colour. I only have five books so far for which I actually set up a tab key. The first four books in the Veronica Speedwell series and The Fragile Threads of Power by V. E. Schwab. Especially the latter is FULL of tabs, easily my most tabbed book of all time, by FAR, and I knew it would be so it was worth setting up a tab key.

I take a picture on my phone of the page I want to annotate, mark what part and maybe why it stood out to me. Then I annotate the book after I've finished it. This means I spend less time interrupting the reading so it doesn't really take me out of the story

I just started annotating! I accidentally bought opaque tabs at first, but have since bought the proper kind 😅 I’m actually excited to go back through & do them by color/theme so I can relive the story without reading the whole thing. I love marking up books but my only qualm with that is thinking what if I don’t want to keep this/want to sell it? Lol. Also I feel weirder marking up hardcovers vs paperbacks. I love me a good floppy paperback but hardcovers just seem fancier? Idk lol.
