CONVINCED.
YES!!!! *rubs hands together evilly*
I noticed you doing that a few times in the video xD
@MAKENNAH ENGLE I've never written in books but my fellow Language Arts teacher was horrified that I break my book's spines and dogear the pages (yes, I do realise its 2 years later)
When I started watching booktube, I was so obsessed with keeping my books tidy and clean that the smallest dent used to upset me. I then found a video where the girl said that the damages you cause to your book gives it personality. It really got me thinking so I stopped stressing about how tidy my books should look, rather how I felt comfortable reading them. I like the fact that you write in your books but I find writing in a notebook of reviews is better for me :)
im sooo hesitant to start doing this, i want to sosoo bad but i cant physically bring myself to do it, it’s a working progress tho
Yes ! I know that too well
The resale value is already depreciated. Might as well let your kids know your thoughts.
Have you started yet?
@@SaintNobody If there is any resale value to begin with. Charity shops are full of books no-one wants. People could just as well see their books as photocopies.
I did this with the 1st Harry Potter book! I didn't use the copy I owned though, I went to the thrift store and found a cheap copy there so it didn't matter if I wrecked it lol
Where have you been all my life!???? I have been criticized for abusing my books or just mistreating them and I feel that the marks you leave behind brings the story of the person reading the books!! I want my daughters to remember my marks on my books and what I loved about them 20 years from now
I don't write in my books but I have a separate "reading journal" in which I usually write the quote or whatever I liked and the page number and maybe a comment of mine. This might be an alternative for some people. The only problem is that I always have to have this notebook and and a pen by my side while reading
Annotating is key to interacting with a text (that was my teacher voice). Now, I won't annotate in a collectors edition though. I prefer paperbacks for studying and annotation.
Agreed! Or if there is a classic hard cover that is limited edition, I wont annotate in it.
I am far too lazy to annotate. You have such commitment 😂
WRITE IN YO' BOOKS. Getting used books with notes and doodles is my favorite thing in the world.
YEAH IKR?
Books In Five Sameeee, I’m like reading some else thoughts which I find fantastic.
@@awildkiru yesss finally people who understand me haha
the Robin yasss
That’s what made me hesitant to start! I wanted other people to be able to enjoy them but don’t know if they’d want my thoughts on the sides… it’s nice to hear other people might actually like that!
I've written in and highlighted my books for years and love to read books that other people have annotated. Thanks for this encouraging video. It was refreshing to see someone be real with their books.
Does writing on a sticky note and placing it inside the book count? 😂😂 I personally can't write in books, I don't like the way it looks. But I don't think it's bad 💙
A sticky note! Now there's an idea! I may give that a try . . .
Of course it does. It's also a gateway drug... ;-) You start with sticky notes and washi tape and tabs and end up gluing on extra paper for your illustrations and magazine scraps...
@@Ketutar I love this and can total see it happening ..
Or you could write in pencil? It's what I do. A throw back to my student days, when I was studying literature. It's easier to tweak ideas/re-phrase your own commentary when you go back and read again.
I got transparent sticky notes and that’s what I use instead of writing in the book
Naya!!! You evil genius, this essay has made my scream in triumph and scream "YES! I'm not alone!!"
I'm an emotional tabber; I have a hard time putting my thoughts into words and I created my own system so that a different color represents those thoughts and I can look back and physically SEE my emotional journey.
You said it truly and wisely "its glue and paper, the value IS in the words" AND in the journey the story takes us on. ♥️
I loved this!! I just started annotating my books but I use a pencil to underline sentences because I'm still a bit scared that the ink of a highlighter will show through the pages, especially if the pages are a bit thin.
Side note - I *love* the headwrap and hoop earrings combo. So beautiful!
I used to sticky note my favourite parts in books but I stopped doing that, although I do miss it. I have tried writing in a book with pen but it felt wrong. I do think worn books look cool but the one thing I refuse to do is dog ear my pages! In the end, whoever bought the book has the right to do whatever they want with it!
I just started to write in my books!! I'm both excited and nervous about ever mark I make. Thanks for telling how you learned to write in books.
Love the quote!!
I LOVE ANNOTATIONS! They are amazing. I love read them from others because then you learn about the reader! I even love rereading a book I've annotated, and trying to see if I think of things differently! Great video!
Yes!!!!!! I love writing in my books because I don't plan on ever reselling my books. Like you I watch Booktube and no one is writing in their books so I thought it was wrong. Now that I have watched your video. Now I feel like......They are mine and I will highlight, write, dog ear pages all I want!!!! What kind of pens do you use to actually write with in your book?
MegTheMaven if this helps, I use Pilot Precise V5 Extra Fine, it comes in lots of colors, is relatively cheap, writes smoothly (no skipping or globs of ink), and the extra fine point makes my small notes legible.
You should definitely read Inkheart by Cornelia Funke! It's a middlegrade series about a family that also loves books and has a special talent: they can read characters out of their books! The main character Meggie also annotates her books and the book has these amazing quotes about readers and books. I definitely recommend these series!
I want this series rn😮
I remember this series, and it was so good, I absolutely loved it
Recently I have been thinking about writing in my books, but I was kind of lenient to do what I used to think was "destroying" books. This past year I had to annotate my books for my English class, and now this video has made me want to start annotating books for fun.
She is the happiest youtubers I've ever watched😂
I just started annotating after watching this, and i feel kind of like i have a deeper connection with the book if that makes sense??? You don't even know how grateful i am💖
"The value is within the words." Such a beautiful way to say that.
I love this! I've always been scared to write in my books but I'm over it, like you said the value is in the words!! I love that you have "conversation" with the characters. 💕
You've inspired me to write in my books more! I love the idea that my books have been used and well loved, not just kept pristine. ❤️
WOW. I just read that essay, and I'm so ready to start annotating my books!!!!
it's actually getting to me. i think why i'm starting to consider this is your amazing super cute way of talking about the whole thing 😊😊
I love annotating and dog earing and highlighting… I feel like a book feels well loved when you care enough about the content to do such things!!!
I used to just flag my books because I didn't want to write in them. But I got nervous that the flags would fall out, and I would lose my quotes lol So I went back and took out all of the flags and highlighted instead.
I've also started writing notes in my books as well. I think it makes my books more personal. I've loaned out a book to a friend, and she said that it was fun to see what parts made me laugh or cry and see if they affected her in the same way.
Mama Bear Reads Awhh. That's nice
the manic energy with which you said "A Court of Mist and Fury" while listing the books you've annotated the most was...... highkey relatable fashfasdf
Thank you so much! I was always hesitant to write in my books, but now, thanks to you, I won't hold back anymore! this video saved my life! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
LOVE the way you annotate.
... I think I might be convinced
I love writing in my books! It makes it way more personalized and it's so fun to re-read a book and know what you thought the first time.
I’m going to try and anotate during my jane eyre re-read, it’s one of my favourite books of all time, and i have a feeling i’m going to love doing it. I just have to be brave 😋
Thank you!!!!! You got me annotating... I haven’t done any annotating since high school when we were reading atonement and I forget how much I actually love it, it’s so refreshing!!!
Once you've started its literally impossible to stop
I am definitely not one to write in books (unless I'm annotating one of my own books to send to a fan who won a contest or something lol) but I'm an avid note taker. Whenever I see a line I love, I write it in a note on my phone with the page number and I keep running list of all the things I love from all the books I love!
When I was a teen, I used to use notecards or sticky notes to mark the pages of my books with passages I loved. Pretty sure they're still sitting on my shelf in my childhood room somewhere...I should find out next time I'm in there! haha
I recently reread HP6 and you inspired me to write on it. It was so much fun!
This video changed me. And that article makes some great points as well 💜💜💜
Yes! I was a literature major in college, and I always wrote and highlighted in my books and carried the habit over to my own reading. Yay for active reading!
I love that quote from the essay! I'm so close to being convinced. I'm mostly scared about making mistakes or writing something stupid! :)
I love your positive energy.. it honesty warms my heart ♥️ p.s I’m going to annotate my Harry Potter books from now on because there’s so much that I love in those books and it’s honestly sooo heartbreaking when you just forget your favorite lines, chapters, scenes or when something spectacular happens.. I’m officially convinced
Oh my god I literally do ALL OF THIS!! None of my friends who read annotate, but it's such a fun thing to do!
Thanks Naya for convincing me to write in my books , I did & I found out that helped me alot . In addition , by writing on them I felt that I'm a part of the story. Thank you again ❤😍
I haven't watched you before and as soon as the video played all I could think was "How is she so happy?" but then I continued watching and I got used to it and now I am happy that you are super happy! And now I wanna try and annotate my books.
Your energy gives me hope.
Also, as a writer myself, nothing would feel more gratifying to me than seeing someone annotate my stories. Engaging with the text that actively is the biggest compliment you can give an author. 💖
I love writing on my books! Whenever I go back to it I would see all my previous thoughts on it.
I’m don’t usually annotate my books, but my young daughter really wanted to, but felt bad about it. She usually dog-ears the crap out of her books, but that makes it hard to go back and find things when *everything* is dog-eared! I bought her some post-it notes recently, since she couldn’t bring herself to take my suggestion to highlight and actually mark on the pages. I just showed her this video, though, and immediately afterward she ran to get her current favorite book, grabbed a highlighter and a pen, and started in on it. 🥰 Thank you for giving my reluctant biblioclast “permission” to let it out. 📚 🖊 💕
I've probably watched this video about 20 time! I love it and you have convinced me to annotate my books on the second read!!! I was wondering if you couldn't mind making another video maybe a bit more in depth on other ways to annotate. I know it's all very individualized, but just to get a better idea...I don't know, but I'm very excited to try it out!!!!
You've turned me over to the pink side! I've just started marking my first book.
You convinced me to start annotating my books! Love doing that now! Thank you so much!
I annotate my books too! Usually when I want to write reviews or when I enjoy the book a lot and what to draw up theories. I use more sticky notes than actual writing in the book, but it allows me to be analytical and look at things more closely as opposed to just casually reading the book- devising your own theories are so much more fun.
I cannot help but smile when I watch your videos!
a part of me is screaming for even thinking of doing this but in the end, you have me convinced! I loved this video, it really opened a new side of reading to me, that I hadn't even considered. Just keep doing you, you are so amazing and you always give me a smile. Thank you, Naya!
Thank you! I don’t understand people who are so anal about not writing in books. Few material things bring me as much joy as a well-annotated book. It just feels like I’ve engaged with a text so much more when I write or highlight in it.
you were so cheerful throughout the video and yes annotating isn't bad!!
I normally don't annotate my books. However, for my favorite book (TFIOS), I tabbed, highlighted, and wrote in it each time I've reread it and it was the best thing! I love to see what struck me when I read it before and how I was feeling in that moment. I will continue to do so each time I reread it until practically every page is marked up!
I love to watch this video as inspiration right before I read and annotate
oh thank goodness, i found this video. it's so eye-opening and i really loved it and I'll start from now to integrate the advice you and mr. adler gave. Thank you so much for this. I believe this will really help me.
wow i just found your channel and LOVE this video! you've officially convinced me to annotate more often now!
I have been annotating my books now ever since I first saw this video when you originally posted it. Thanks for the new perspective girl!
you convinced me, I printed the essay and it was the best thing I could've done. I only came back to thank you for this. I love you nana. keep up the good work
I love this. I always highlight my books and I never make any effort to keep them in perfect condition. If I wanted to keep a book perfect then I would just check it out from the library. To me the whole point of buying a book is having the freedom to mess it up a bit.
I've been staring at my laptop for a while with a blank expression on my face and literally 15 seconds into your video your energy already rubbed off on me and I'm smiling. I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!
Saw this video the day you posted it and I wanted to come back, 3 months later, to let you know that you have since converted me to the life of book annotation!
your positivity is the cutest thing😩
I love ur enthusiasm!!! I've occasionally thought about annotating some of my favorite books that I tend to reread because to me, annotations add a personal touch to books and allow you to be more connected to the story (depending on how you annotate). But I've never done it because I was so scared of ruining my books!! Now, just seeing how passionate you are about annotating your books makes me wanna do it! Not only that but just seeing how happy and energetic you become when you talk about your books makes me wanna grab a random book and just READ! I haven't read a new book in about a month, partly because I don't have the time due to other activities and partly because I have no inspiration to read but thankfully I found this video and you make me want to start reading more😄
You got me! Sold! I’m gonna start right when my BookOutlet order comes in!!!
One, you are adorable. Two, this is such a cool idea! This really makes your books your own. You know, a lot of family history is found out through annotations in books, specifically bibles. I took a genealogy class in high school and we were taught that before formal records were kept about births and deaths usually people trying to learn about their families could find information like that in annotations in bibles because mothers would mark what was happening in their lives on the page that they were reading that day. So really, annotating your books like that is sort of like leaving behind a legacy for your loved ones after you’re gone
Ive always loved annotating for school but hadn't done it in my own reading but started doing it last summer. Love your videos!!
You know what? I'm the book owner that's reads but also wants to 'own the book' and I annotate in my kindle all the time but won't damage my physical books 📚 but I definitely will after this omg the essay is awesome 👏🏽 and thank you for making this video to In courage me to start with my books n mark em up to make em mine 💖
Instead of writing on my books, I have a commonplace journal. I like having my books clean and neat for people to borrow and form their own opinions.
I went here expecting to feel the same way about writing in my books, but now... I’ve been convinced. I cannot believe I’ve been convinced. Thank you Naya.
Convinced, Gonna write in my favorite books that I plan to keep and reread.Thank you Naya
I am convinced to write/annotate my books!
thanks to that essay I started annotating in my books years ago. It's so good!
Yaaaaaas girl preach 🙌🏼💖😂 Also omg! I love the idea of dog earring the bottom pages, how have I never thought of this!!
Because of you I now write in my book, thank you. It's actually freeing after trying to keep my books perfect.
LOVE IT!! I usually buy a second copy (usually paperback) of an impactful book and annotate that one instead of my beautiful (and more expensive) hardcover.
Hey Naya
I love how passionate you are with books
i have watched a lot of how to annotate books videos and was not convinced,,,, but thanks to this video i definitely will start!
literally my new favorite booktuber, so glad i found your channel. I have kinda started annotating my books but havent been sure what to do. I love watching your videos they always make me smile! truly my inspiration
I totally agree with what you're saying! As a kid, I would dog-ear my books to make my favorite parts, and I hadn't really encountered annotating yet. When I got to high school, and then to college (where my major was creative writing, and I read A LOT of books), I got really into annotating and highlighting. It helps me get my thoughts together if I want to write a little review on a book.
Recently, I started using little flags to mark parts of a book, at least until I finish the book. I learned my lesson with a book last year, where I highlighted and annotated and then 80% through, realized I actually really disliked this book and wasn't going to keep it. And then I felt bad, because whoever I gave the book to would end up with my notes. So yeah, lesson learned. I wait until I'm done and know I love a book before I mark it.
THAT ESSAY WAS BEAUTIFUL AND MOVING AND EVERYTHING I NEEDED RIGHT NOW; THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT!
I annotate ALL the time! Especially if I'm going to review them on my channel. Love that you did this!
You've convinced me! Definitely will give that essay a read too
You convinced me! I read the essay and I really want to thank you for this 😃😊
You have officially made me want to start annotating books...I have done a bit of highlighting in a few books that I just love or are reading for school but I've never been able to write in my new copies...we shall see😂
Wow! I can't wait to try this!
Gosh i love your energy and you really convinced me to annotate books, gonna do my first one right now! Thanks!
I honestly am so glad I started annotating. I feel like I can see all my emotions when I look at the tabs. Even for some books that didn’t get good ratings (I only annotate rereads) if you choose the right books to annotate, you won’t ever regret it. That’s my thinking anyway, I don’t really think there’s a wrong way. I just have found that because I’ve annotated them, those books are important and special just for that deep dive into the text, even if they didn’t rate highly. It makes me love them in their own way.
Thanks Naya! This video has convinced me to annotate and write in my books!
I'm really looking forward to reading the essay you shared. I don't often write or highlight in my books, but I colour code tabs for a whole range of things in books and most books end up looking like I threw a rainbow over the edges. I've also been known to dog ear pages and occasionally deface hard cover books. But I firmly believe, and have always believed, that perfect looking books are not the goal of a bookshelf - books should look like they've been loved!
Yes! So glad someone made a video about this!! I like to annotate some of my books, mostly ones that I read for a particular reason though (i.e. school, reviews, etc) but not the ones I read for pure enjoyment idk why lol
I love writing dates in my books. I love your miles. Beautiful you are ✨
Loved that article! I have to try annotating my books now
Your energy is contagious LOVE IT.
Love your energy!
Ok - I'm going to start by using sticky note tabs .. Naya you convinced me
