    I actually wanted to get into annotating my books but there’s something about actually permanently marking my books that has kept me from doing it. I think I am going to definitely use the tabs but I’m still considering the underlining and highlighting. I have seen the transparent sticky notes which I think are cool, and I may use those instead to make notes in the book instead of marking the actual book. Also, by the way, your room is really cool. 😂

      i was thinking the same thing, i mean i don’t mind underlining but I think for writing I would try a transparent sticky!

      @itsnoterica Год назад +11

      When I first started writing on my books I used to use a pencil (very lightly) & it helped me get over the mental block of marking up my books! I recommend started w that bc honestly the transparent sticky notes can be annoying to write on since many pens smudge on them

      @@kirajulienne, i found some very colorful sticky grid (i absolutely cannot write without some kind of lines, it starts going downhill, lol) notes and tabs on amazon that i plan to buy so i can start annotating my books and not worry about writing in them. i can’t bring myself to mark in them period. what if i decide i no longer want the book? if i donate it, i want the next person to be able to annotate it too if they choose to, but at least i can remove my tabs and notes (and save them) and know that i didn’t mark in it. it’ll give me some comfort in knowing i took care of the book.

      I just take the pen and write directly on the page when I feel like it. There’s no organization, that is too much for me to worry about- I’m trying to read! Too much for me. You could start out by just writing freely on the page, that way you at least have your thoughts on the page to look back on later. That’s how I think about it at least

    Thanks for your time with this video. I’m 63 - basically your mother but older :-) - you have much to offer the world with your enthusiasm and authenticity. Keep going!!! I have annotated books for MANY years and always appreciate my notes later. I’m not really into the tabbing method like you (and many others are), but I do make regular marginalia. I also will dog-ear the lower page corner on pages I want to especially remember. Sometimes MANY pages are dog-eared! Perhaps that is my version of your tab, though it’s not color-coded, obviously. And, I have been making “character maps” as I call them, for several years. It’s always helpful, especially for longer books or books with many characters. You’re a breath of fresh air, and I thank you!

    I always use erasable pens and highlighters so that if I annotate and accidentally highlight wrong I can easily fix it. I would recommend pilot frixion clickers as well as the pilot frixion erasable highlighters. I find that these don't bleed through at all or dry out and they aren't that expensive. A bonus is also that the highlighters I use have a pastel colour which I find very cute (:

    I love how you annotate! I’m just starting out with my annotation journey so for my first book I’m just doing quotes so that I can get the hang of it and try to find a style that works for me. Thank you for the inspiration!!

  • @michellemaas8100
    @michellemaas8100 Год назад +6

    I think annotation systems like the one Destiny has are so aesthetic and "intellectual." That being said, they always overwhelm me and feel like so much pressure.
    Personally I annotate every physical book I own (because I read most of my books digitally, so I figure that if I own it I might as well personalize it lol) but I only pick 2 colors. 1 colour is for quotes or sections of writing I like, and the 2nd color is for scenes I enjoyed or found important. Doing it like this is a lot better for me because I don't have to keep track of a million different colors or "remove" myself from the reading experience to think about what type of quote it was. I don't know, It works for me.
    As for writing in my books, i don't do it personally because I'm not a huge fan of my handwriting, but I will either paste my thought on a sticky note (though I wasn't a huge fan of that because it blocked some of the writing underneath) or I will take extensive notes in my Storygraph app and just reread those.
    Anyway, I hope that helped anyone who's maybe just getting into annotating and is overwhelmed by some of the more advanced systems found here on RUclips because that's how I felt.

    Love your sweater Destiny! & I’m excited to see your updated annotating video. I love annotating ❤ It took me a while to get comfortable marking books but I finally found my own style that feels natural to me. I try not to overthink it and that’s my advice for everyone else. And if anyone is scared to do it, start with some thrifted books you haven’t spent a lot of money on and books that are easily replaced.

    I'm curious, maybe I missed it, but do you annotate with the same meanings behind the tabs, or does it change from book to book. Like no matter what book I read, I always like purple for beautiful quotes. Do your meanings and colors change, or do you just match the book but keep the same meanings?
