Now, what is all of this stuff? (Other than a good bit of money). I gathered all of the annotating supplies I have laying around my house for this photo and well, I think it is time for an intervention. Now that we have done the why, welcome to the how. Also, if I am ever just having emo hours (which is Often), I can just find things that make me want to cry easier. If I am ever rereading an annotated book, I know exactly what I was thinking my last reread and that is super cool to me. I can go back later and look at my thoughts.I can also find quotes easily (since we all know I love me a good quote) and then just like, type them up. Since I have the important moments quite literally flagged so I notice them, I can just go and refer back to them. I am not just reading it, I am actively commenting on it and realizing my feelings on it a lot earlier. It also means I am interacting with the text. I will be honest, sometimes I zone out and skim a little, but when I am annotating I have to pay more attention. It makes my reading experience more fun and engaging.So here are a few reasons why I annotate: I mean, they’re my books, you know?Īnyways, I wanted to start this with a why section because I know that some people think annotating is just wild. I know that annotating can be kind of controversial, but I don’t see anything wrong with it. I annotate those I reread, those I think I am going to love, or those that I just feel need to be annotated.
Not all of them, I don’t have the time or the patience for that. Hi, my name is Arin and I annotate my books.
