#artofannotating

here’s my take on #artofannotating 🤍 if you ever have any questions on my annotations, feel free to have a read! :) . do you write directly on the page? - absolutely! the larger the margins (and space) the better 🥰 do you annotate all your books? - i try to, but it depends! if i don’t feel like making any comments (for whatever reason — it could be because i don’t find the need to interact with the story), then i won’t annotate it why do you annotate? - because it makes me connect with the story and characters better ☺️ it also allows me to underline phrases that i can go back to in the future. plus i feel more in touch with the author and what they’re trying to write about as well! what tabs do you use? - studymate tabs! they’re only available in australia sadly :( what pens do you use? - @artlineau ballpoint and fineliner pens! ✨ . love this tag so much! i’m so glad that annotating is becoming a bigger thing here in the #bookstagram community 🫶🏼 https://www.instagram.com/p/CeLvxTVP492/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✨The Art of #annotating ✨ Once again, I’ve been getting lots of questions as to the tabs/highlighters/pens I’m using, how I annotate, etc. so I’m dedicating this post to making a foolproof starter kit & basically. Also since I have been seeing the art of annotating challenge making it’s rounds and it’s so adorable! I have a video too on my YouTube channel on how I annotate my books the very basic version, link in bio So I’ll be calling this 𝘈𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 101 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴: part 1—starter kit, as follows: — book tabs • I have the translucent ones in various colours just so I have an option to color-match the tabs I use with the books I reading but you can use whatever color you prefer, no pressure. — pens • I don’t use pens directly in the book, I don’t particularly enjoy writing in my book. I use transparent sticky notes if I want to write something. I use a permanent marker on the sticky notes as it’s plastic, either a pencil or a ball pen works too. But my go to brands are micron & brusto. — highlighters • I’m also not inclined to specific brands but I buy sharpie highlighters or staedtler. I usually buy sets because they’re cheaper to buy in bulk. — sticky notes (optional) • I use different colours of sticky notes in different books for writing the key; as in what coloured tab stands for what. I stick it on the last page of the book. I also use transparent sticky tabs as I mentioned before. everything I use from tabs to pens to highlighters are from different shops. 🏷 #artofannotating #annotatedbooks #annotatedbookstack #annotate #stickytabs #postit #postitfortheaesthetics (at Mumbai, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf_D1X_r1Ry/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
