What is annotating? Basically, it's like taking notes, but inside your book. There are a lot of flags and post-it notes involved. There are some highlighters and pens. There's a lot of fun stationary, but why do people do it, is it necessary and how do you begin.
Annotating is not necessary to enjoy a good book, but may be something that you might want to look in to if you'd like to remember certain details in the book for reports or book reviews or even if you have your own book vlog on YouTube or a book blog like this one.
I've recently discovered book annotating and I'm fascinated, but I'm one of those book cowards that don't like to mark in my books especially if they are a book that I'm "collecting" as part of a series or a favorite author. Also, I'm a huge patron of the library and probably get about 80% of my books from there.
I am no expert on the subject so I'm throwing it out to YOU! How do you annotate? Are there rules? Are there tips to the trade? Is it individual like each reader? Comment below on you personal annotate!
Me? I'm still working on my own "style". I have a bullet journal I use as reading journal and I think I'm going to just try different styles. When I find one I like, then I'll let you know!
