    It's admirable how much effort you put into your annotations, Im lazy so I only highlight pretty quotes and call it a day 😅😅 an enjoyable video as always

    I annotate my books :D I love doing it and seeing how other people do it. It’s so cool to be able to see my thoughts and how things in books have impacted me

    I have been having trouble reading lately! I haven't annotated books since I was in Middle School, and I am 20 now! When I clicked on this video, I wasn't sure what annotating was 😂 I am happy to click on this video. I struggle remembering a lot when I read books, which always throws me off. I feel like annotating might make me feel closer to the stories I read, and the author. Thank you! 🥰

    Yes! I always feel kind of guilty when I wrote/highlighted on books. But annotation has long been in my mind, and I am going to annotate my books after watching your video:)

      I hope you enjoy it! Yeah guilt is a big one but making the book your own can also be seen as extra special treatment of the book ahah

    I used to love annotating books in school but a part of me would die everytime I marked a page. T_T I wanna start again but I know it will be the same anxiety over it.

      Haha I feel you. I used to be really meticulous when it came to keeping my books clean and new looking, but I grew to really enjoy making the book feel more like mine through essentially defacing it ahha

    When I annotate, I usually just underline quotes that stand out to me and maybe write a little "ow" to the side when the author writes something particularly painful lol

      Hahaha I have a good few « ows » of my own when I annotate 😂

    Great tips! I'm starting a physical reading journal because my digital notes are 💩

    I'm gonna start using "Mother tongue," instead of "First Language," from now on.
