How I Annotate My Book!! [A GUIDE<3] One of the most common questions I get on this account is my annotating process. How I developed it? What I write? Supplies etc. So I decided to finally compile a little guide. Let me know if this helps 🤗 [Tabbing:] 🗂️ I like to generally use 6 diff colours to tab. If I go above six it becomes hard to keep track and makes things tedious! 🗂️ I have a “tab key” put in the beginning of the book for future reference. 🗂️ I decide on themes I tab as I go— usually designating certain concept or patterns that comes up again and again within the story. 🗂️ Examples include: motifs, character development, certain emotions, relationships, beautifully written passages etc (the list goes on! You can literally tab whatever comes up a bunch) [Underlining/Highlighting/Emphasis of Text] ✍️ I underline passages or lines of text that are essential to the ‘literary’ aspect of the book, this could be: use of a symbol, an extended metaphor, juxtaposition etc ✍️ I highlight passages or lines of text that evoke me to feel (Don’t be excessive. Highlight the parts that stand out!) ✍️ circle/square/bracket (basically emphasize) important diction, keywords, or phrases related to the theme you had tabbed that passage to! [Writing!!!] 🖍️Write down: thoughts, wonders, predictions, feelings, essential details, connections, questions, analysis!! 🖍️ Where? If it’s especially long use a sticky, otherwise, the margins, the spaces, and in between lines. Literally anywhere. 🖍️if you’re afraid to damage your book sticky notes are very helpful:) and there are clear/neutral coloured sticky notes that are quite lovely 😊 🖍️use: arrows, bullet points, numbering, icons, or whatever that may clarify your annotations. 🖍️Reminder: I only write in annotations after finishing a chapter in the parts where I’ve tabbed, this keeps my reading flowing :) [Supplies] 📂I usually use gel black pens in 0.3 (I like the thinner feel and they often don’t leak through the page) 📂I use the grey highlighters from muji religiously 📂Stickies and tabs are all from Amazon, they come in a variety of colours so have your pick:)! Love, Bea

I’ve had a fair few messages lately asking me about annotating (how, why etc)…so here’s a little tutorial ✨ • However, this is just how I do it. People do it differently! Find what works for you along the way 🥹 and if it doesn’t work for you at all? That’s okay! • #samzreadsbooks #bookstagram #annotating #annotatingbooks #annotations

Annotating✨ Annotating has my heart and I don’t think that will ever change. This is a book I annotated years ago, so the style has changed, but I still thought it was fun. QOTD: do you have any annotating content you would like to see? Or how was your weekend?

annotating a good book just hits different💐 my love for annotating books keep growing, even tho i haven’t done it with recent reads<3 i’m trying to focus more on annotating books that i’ve already read and loved, or if there are some books i know i will love💝 last book i annotated was heir of fire, so not that long ago really hahah, but that series has more of a systematic annotation style, so it’s not as freely annotated. i have been wanting to annotate a book with zero system and order, just do whatever feels good ahah🌷 let me know if that’s something you do, and if you think it’s a good way to annotate✨ also, espresso by sabrina carpenter has been stuck on my mind 24/7 and i’m not mad about it💘 lots of love, kris 💌

the most precious books in my bookshelf are the ones brimming with my thoughts and feelings 🤍 i have even started to write dates of when i’m annotating the book and why! just a few days ago, i was listening to an audiobook while gardening, and the scene i was listening to felt so fitting and made me smile as i was planting my seeds. so i started annotating the physical copy and added a little entry to preserve this precious memory 📖✨ if you annotate, what do you often annotate in your books? ✍🏼 . #annotatedbooks #annotations #books #bookstagram

i love organising my annotating supplies 🫶🏼 it makes me feel more motivated to annotate my books while reading, plus i love looking at all the colors together 🥹✨ i seriously had so much fun annotating “alone with you in the ether”, especially with these gorgeous new highlighters from @gomr.pen 🤍 would you annotate a book like this, or do you prefer using post-it notes/notebooks/pencil? 🤓
