I was thinking about annotating and i went through my old books and some newer ones and the difference is hilarious.
My old annotating style :
- A lot of highlights, lot of tabbing, reaction stickers, colorful pens to underline. A true maximalist dream. (Photos from my copy of Phantom of the opera.)
Vs.
My current style : Single black pen, minimal tabbing. ( Photos from my copy of The Handmaiden's Tale)
I made this change of style mostly for comfort, having to carry around a bunch of pens and highlights and tabs is an hassle even if i don't have to move around a lot. Also having to every time have to stop to find the correct color in my pencil holder is a chore.
I'm still finding my way, i still enjoy tabbing and i still enjoy colors.
Perhaps i can try find one of those big multi color pen, i have some with 4 colors ( black, red, blue, green) but i want one of those with a lot lot od colors.
Like one of these.
I definitely won't use highlighters tho they rub dry so quickly.
