I love that you use stickers & washi also 💜I'm brushing up my annotating & have a ton of stickers, washi etc., from planners & bujo but hadn't seen anyone else do this yet.

[@Hannah_Lynch]

[@emie4050]

i've encountered the gel pen smearing issue a couple times, and at first i was a bit upset at how it looked but actually it's okay it's my book anyway haha

[@thebackpackingbookwyrm]

I love seeing what other people use to annotate. 😊 I like the inkjoy pens too but my go to is the pilot dr. Grip pen. I love a chunky pen, my hand is so happy 😂 Do you annotate as you read or go back and re-read to annotate? Genuinely curious because I never see this mentioned.

[@Hannah_Lynch]

i should have mentioned it in the video! i used to only annotate on a reread but lately i’ve been doing it as i go with books i’m sure i’ll love. some books i start and then after 100 pages i’m so in love that i go back and annotate the beginning and then annotate as i go with the rest of it 🖤

[@irenebrand3588]

🖊📖 still thinking about if I should annotate my books. I like my books to be clean. 🖊📖

[@Hannah_Lynch]

When I first started annotating, I bought a book I already had a copy of just in case I hated it lol. Then I still had my nice clean copy 😅

[@lauras4472]

So how do you know what things to put in your keys at the start of your book?

[@Hannah_Lynch]

If it’s a reread, I just think about things I want to make note of or things I know I like the flip back to. A lot of times I will for sure have a tab for quotes I love, maybe for my favorite character moments, one for romance and cute moments, and then I almost always do one that is more for miscellaneous that I don’t really know what category it falls under but I want to make note of it. For books I’m reading for the first time, I try to think of what I already know about the book and make tabs for things I know I like in books and like to annotate like quotes or cute moments. Hope this helps!

[@BidinSliw]

hi, i really love your video 🫶 can you tell me what highlighter you use for that Harry Potter books ? especially for the yellow/orange and green color in the song part ? thank you 🥺

[@Hannah_Lynch]

i think those are the mr. pen brand highlighters, i have them linked in the description 🥰

[@susanjones8938]

[@stineolsen5076]

How do you decide what highlight colors to use?

[@Hannah_Lynch]

i usually just go with whatever color i feel like or try to match the colors to the book cover. i know some people use highlighters for specific things like they do with tabs but i’ve never tried that 😅

[@pinknanusfidgets3082]

Hi! Do you know how to check to see if a highlighter will bleed or not? Bc I rlly wanna highlight some stuff, but I don’t want it to bleed through

[@Hannah_Lynch]

it mostly depends on the paper, but the mr. pen ones are made specifically for super thin pages so they’re the best ones for no bleeding 👍🏻

[@pinknanusfidgets3082]

Ty!

[@steffymuze]

2nd these. Mr. Pen items are great. I just got their fineliner pens to write on transparent posty notes 😊 ​@HannahsRecentReads

I love reading. I love annotating. I have all the things. Lots of them. But I have to be honest, I feel guilty. It feels so wasteful just leaving colored tabs in books on a shelf. At one point I had eight bookcases. I had to get rid of half to move to a smaller place. I've donated more books than you can imagine. I can't keep these books. Space is a thing. I want to be a minimalist but can't get rid of books, so I keep them and annotate, but then what? They take up space I can't see my way clear to pay extra for. In other words, I went from a two-bedroom to a one-bedroom because that second bedroom was the most expensive storage unit I ever owned. It was wasteful. I did art journaling, and have lots of planners, so I have a looot of art materials and supplies. I mention that because once I get into something I'm in deep. Now it's this. But it's just such a first-world thing...how much money have I spent on things that end up thrown out, donated, or wasting space (which is money) when others are struggling for basic things? Or I can invest for my retirement? I don't know. I'm not judging it. Art is beautiful and personal, but... Some people have full-on art studios, but they sell their art, if they're lucky. Or they put it up on a wall, or gift it. Do these books end up doing anything that benevolent? I will likely throw away some of these books, but I refuse to throw out perfectly good tabs. I stopped using stickers in my planners because they are used once, on one day and that's it. That's perfectly good money stuck to a page for what? I won't pay for a sticker of a heart that I can draw... Again, I'm not judging, this is just me going back and forth. I love working on them. They are soothing; a form of therapy. I can justify it by saying they help me relax. Others pay for shrinks...some for street drugs...I'm way ahead of that! I work hard for my money, it's mine to do what I wish. I'm generous with family... I remember when just underlining and writing was enough. Then someone decided one color pens weren't good enough...we needed more colors. Then post-its, then tabs, then washi, then highlighters, then markers, then stickers... this is a consumerism wet dream. 8/ Your books are gorgeous, though. You did a beautiful job! Thank you so much for sharing!
