Annotating A Book For Fun. Annotating mary barton as you can see i still have my essentials, post it flags, several pieces of paper with some notes along the way while reading, my book journal, pen, and pencil. Tabs & highlighting i love tabbing…
If annotating is something you’ve been meaning to try i suggest picking a book you know you’re going to love or even a favourite book for a reread (this is what i did my first time) and giving it a go. I also stick the annotation key in. When you're reading 4+ books a month, it's easy to forget why you loved the books you loved.
Annotating is any action that deliberately interacts with a text to enhance the reader's understanding of, recall of, and reaction to the text.
But to me, annotating is a physical mark of love on a book and it shows just how much it means to you. Everyone has probably had to annotate a book for school, but who would ever do it to their own books? If annotating is something you’ve been meaning to try i suggest picking a book you know you’re going to love or even a favourite book for a reread (this is what i did my first time) and giving it a go. In this way, you can minimize the markings that you make in the text and keep a separate set of notes that elaborate on the symbols you’ve used.
