Annotation refers to adding your own thoughts or insights into a book or text .
There are many ways you could annotate your books and there are many benefits to it! It helps you read actively, you will remember more that way and it’s great for future references (if you use tabs by colour, it’s easy to find something you might be looking for).
- Sticky tabs - You can assign themes to colours and say that blue means that scene is sad, purple is for important information, yellow is for your favorite quotes… Whatever you want to do.
- Highlighters - This is probably the most basic way to annotate. When you read a line that is powerful or lyrical, you just mark it. You can use different colours and they can signify different meanings like blue for beautiful quotes and blue for important information… just an example.
- Pens - This way you write down your opinions and thoughts on the side. You don’t have to write a lot…Examples of little comments: that’s a good point, whyyy, that’s sad, I relate…
