Another option to consider for the "no permanent damage" folks are Frixion pens and highlighters. They're heat sensitive, so if you want to remove all marks, you can leave the book in a hot car or put it in a low oven. And if you then change your mind and want the marks back, you can put it in the freezer. I find I have to be careful not to put too much pressure on the pens to avoid creating ridges in the paper, but that may just be the model of pen I have and my writing style.
That's cool
Wow this is so cool-I had no idea that existed
That’s so cool! I knew frixion pens were erase-able but I didn’t know about the heat/cooling aspect! Thank you for this
The pilot eco mechanical pencil is nice too, erasable
Yep, we use them in costuming too: we just iron the lines when we are done sewing
The fact that she filmed a video that requires a lot of hard work of explanation, search, etc., while having a headache... wow! Not just the edition took a lot but just making the video
She has no limits ✨✨
I personally hate writing in books and would never do it BUT, every book I love is getting tabbed😂
I love the thinner sticky tabs cause I get waaay more of them.
I do love seeing books w writing and doodles on them, it LOOKS cool. But if someone tried it on my books they would get demolished 🤺
hahaha I get that! It took a lot for me to start writing in books, but once I started I couldn't stop
I love that, even the readers who doesn't like to annotate their books, at least they put something on them
Like, as readers we always need to express ourselves with the book that made us feel, it's beautiful to me :3
Loved this 🌹🖤
I started annotating last year and I’m really loving it! I used to think I’d never write in my books. I’m not sure what changed my mind but I’m glad I did! I enjoy paying close attention to the writing style as it helps improve my own writing.
Thanks for the video! I've been trying to figure out a way to annotate books that fits my reading style
I remember annotating books for school and I would write and underline and highlight a lot
Love that academic feel to the books especially when you look through your annotations
I don’t read physically as much anymore but I’d like to pick one book to slowly annotate this year to get back into it
I never did tabs but maybe I should buy some
I think taking the first book you annotate slowly is the best way! Like taking your time with the process and learning what things come to you or work for you. I wish you luck!
TRANSPARENTE STICKY NOTES❤
I am one of “tab, but no permanent marks on my books” but I also use transparent sticky notes to add to some of my book. Like real post it size ones. All sorts of options, size and colour on Amazon.
I like re reading a book and seeing what I thought a couple months or years ago, seeing how my perspective has it hasn’t changed.
I think I’m going to start mood annotating
I am brand new to annotating my books and I just bought the zebra pen/highlighters today! So excited to use them❤️🔥
Thanks for this! I'm new to annotating cause I was so nervous to mark up my books. I do the aesthetic tabs to match the book, and I write in pencil first only cause I'm still getting used to the idea of writing in my books in pen and I'm a perfectionist. That and I'm not sure when I start if I'll like a book or not and I can always erase and de-tab lol. I recently finished Crescent City book 1 and afterwards I went through and did highlighter and pen instead of the pencil which was relaxing oddly enough and I got to spend more time with the book. And that I did more based on mood upon re-reading those little sections and remembering why they meant enough to me to tab. I didn't find the initial read through longer but obviously going back through the book takes some time (especially if it's 800 pages!).
I love all of your annotating methods:)))))))
So many great ideas...higlighter tape 🤯❣ I can't bring myself to mark up my hardbacks especially special editions, so I buy a used or cheaper paperback to annotate, only my favorites like you, or that could get expensive.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Lots of great info.
I’m so glad you made this video, I’ve always been interested in annotating but am so nervous and unsure where to start and what I want to do. I love watching videos on different ways and trying to figure out what will work best for me.
Given me some food for thought, thank you! 😊
This was actually super informative and very inspiring. Thank you!!!
This was helpful. Thank you!
This was so useful, thank you! I really want to start annotating books, definitely going to take your advice and tab one that I’ve read and loved before first. Great idea!
🎉🎉Great video, thank you so much for sharing!!! I’ve been wanting to annotate a first book but have been so afraid on where to begin. This has been extremely helpful!💗
Wow this is my favourite annotating video🤩📚
Thank you for this!
Thanks for this video. I’ve been considering annotating just because I have been reading through books too quickly and find myself trying to remember something or a though and fail lol. I used to annotate textbooks back in college without worry. Need to get over my “don’t ruin the book” thought lol. For now my digital books will get annotated to get me into the groove.
Love the highlighter tape idea, I automatically thought of using this on library books and if I decide to get a physical copy I'll know what I annotated in the library copy and then just transfer my annotations. Thanks for sharing!
I like the journal idea, the transparent highlighter tabs and sticky notes idea that I wanna try.
I started annotating when I needed to learn a new word. If I didn't understand I would look it up and write it in the book and that helped me expand my vocabulary and annotation style. It was really helpful to me growing up and I still do it now :)
THANK YOU! I ordered the sharpie pens 😍🖤
I’m obsessed with those pens so hopefully you like them too!!
For me, I just use 3-4 tab colors that match with the color of the cover/aesthetic of the book and I tab all my favorite moments/quotes without a key or anything. I just fine it works for me! 😊❤️
thanks for including tips for those of us who want to keep our books in good condition/ rely on the library a lot! it was super helpful and I love how detailed you made this video🥰 it always makes me happy when you pop up in my sub box.
Of course 🤍 I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I've just bought a new hardback of Fourth Wing & ordered another Iron Flame, just to start my annotation journey!
I'm about to start my final audio listen before Iron Flame drops on the 7th, and I decided I REALLY wanted to annotate FW while I'm doing my finale re-listen.
Thank you so much for all of the tips. I really hope your headache improved, swifty.🙏🏼💖
Your initial annotation video is what introduced me to you. I am so grateful for this YA fantasy / bibliophile journey we’ve been on the last few years. For example, in An Ember in the Ashes, I highlight the ebook (orange for world building, pink for humor, blue for plot/character development). I bought the colour tabs you recommended in your first annotation video. No doubt I will check out what you suggest in this video. Thank you again.
Of course!! That’s so cool to see that’s how you originally found my channel haha
I've watched so many videos on annotation because I am eerie about writing in my books and I have to say Thank you so much for this, you should be a teacher. The way you explained how you annotate was really helpful and took a lot of pressure of me . Two Thumbs us 👍 👍.
I’m glad 🤍🤍
Found this helpful, thank you
I loved the video! And I am honestly glad you thought of us girlies who can’t let themselves write in their books, so thanks! Can’t wait to try the highlighter tape!
I also loved hearing I’m not the only one who imagines ‘music’ when reading! I’ve never heard drumming (reading wise) before but sometimes I swear I can hear violins in the tense or sad bits. But it so funny because sometimes I think it blends with wind sounds so that’s definitely a weird thing that happens to my imagination.
Can’t wait for the next vid. 🖤
Ahh yesss I heard piano/violins when reading hell bent so I totally feel you there!!
I love the idea of underlining with different colored pens for different things. Never heard of doing that before.
My tabbing and annotating is still a mess even if I use glossary. Thank you Brittany for putting this video. Now I know what I’m going to do with some of the books that I want to annotate.
I love the tip of annotating on a re-read! I actually tab only on the first read through so I can fly through it faster and enjoy, and then if I really love the book I go back through and add the highlights, underlines, etc! 🤗
That’s actually a really good idea 👀👀 I’ve always gone back and forth on how to annotate books I’m not sure I’ll love, but that would be the perfect method for those!!
great video!!
Haven't seen it, but I was actually putting this kind of videos just for fun and that B uploaded it it's amazing 🥰🥰
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@BrittanytheBibliophile I did, thank you!!! 🥰
I think I’m going to start annotating now!!
I haven't written in a book since college but I have been using my Book Darts (in Ninth House) to point to different lines I like (for whatever reason).
I have the same multiple/gradient colour tabs and I hate them 😅 You can’t write on them and if you can, the pen takes an age to dry. Since I bought them, I use them for work and my sketchbook.
I don’t annotate every book. Out of all the books that I have, I have annotated less than a handful. I’m currently annotating and illustrating (not just doodles, full-page drawings) my way through The Wheel of Time. I have the whole series in hardback (which will never be touched) and I’m repurchasing the tall US floppy paperbacks to annoate and draw in as I re-read and continue in from where I left off in the hardbacks). My tabs for those books are half transparent, half coloured. I hate having a tab cover text so the transparent tabs are great. There are 8 colour options and as much as it is limiting, I need a limit. 😂 Or else I’d have 15 blue tabs for Moiraine alone. I also use the same pen throughout but I have a different coloured pen for audiobook comments and for previous thoughts I noted down when I read the ebook on the bus.
I just bought those transparent sticky notes and highlighter tape. Just cannot get myself to annotate.
I hope your link worked (because I'm from Canada, I was redirected)- your find is the first true alternative I could get into! ❤
So many choices! Now I need to grab that sharpie pen because bleed through is the bane of my existence.
They definitely still bleed through!! It’s not a crazy amount but I still see a ghosting effect on the page behind it.
Sorry it was a little unclear, I meant that they dry down so it doesn’t smudge or transfer to other pages when closed.
@@BrittanytheBibliophile Oh! Sorry, you were definitely clear. I just don't understand words apparently 😅thanks for taking the time to clear that up.
I annotate with no tabs. Whether I am using just a pen, just a highlighter, or both. But what I do to easily find, is highlight the edge of the page that I annotated. So you can see just from looking at the edges what pages are marked, and find stuff form there. It also looks cool on my shelf when turned around lol
Thank you for this video. I have 5 copies of my favorite book. I think I will start with one of those 🙂. Probably will do the tabs 1pen 1 highlighter. 🙂
My annotating journey is very much like yours. At first, I was really against writing in books and you actually got me to try annotating (specifically one of your reading vlogs with the Poppy War, it's engrained in my mind hahaha). I started with Daisy Jones and the Six which was a reread and it was kind of everything, sticky tabs, pens, underlining, writing and then I stopped cause I felt I got tired. Now I annotate everything with the fourth method but without using different tabs, I just tab the highlights to be able to find my favorite parts easily. And then I use a notebook to annotate books I cannot annotate (like borrowed books). This is an unnecessarily long comment to say how much I enjoyed this video hahahah
Ahh I think that was a 24 hour readin vlog! One of my favorite ones I’ve ever done haha and I loved the long comment, thank you!
every time I annotate, I take a color out and pause because some times, I forget what it is used for (since I don't annotate that often. It's only for books I'm really excited for) and I'm like welp, time to make a new system and this happens almost every single time lol I should probably write them down...
I'm the damage free to the extreme. Where I'm doing basically everything you mentioned.
I use the rainbow color tabs for marking specific scenes (pink for deaths, orange for fights/running/chasing, yellow for plot with the other 2 as misc), but on my 2nd reads I have a darker set of tabs I plan on marking and noting more specific in an analysis type way (im working on my own books):
Foreshadowing
Plot twist
Emotional scenes
Any errors in the writing (misspell to changing terms)
Some misc
I have a few sizes of the transparent stickies with the thin sticky tabs for if I have to make a note or write a comment (the thin have their own system I'm working on)
I also keep the journal so I can make my notes as well as do a star review and a review of the series as a whole.
Basically, when I'm done the whole book is gonna be annotated galore, and my journal filled to the brim.
As a side note, the transparent stickies are plastic like so sharpie is the best for that. (I'm afraid of friction transfer though so I have a large size i use to cover that written one so there's no chance of it- like putting tracing paper between pencil and charcoal works) I haven't tried it yet, but if you get a pastel one or a decently transparent sharpie I think you'd be able to forego the highlight tape if you're using it with the sticky note (and the colors don't have a specific system)
Ooo good to know about the transparent stickies!
Also your annotation method is *thorough* good for you!!! I like the idea of having darker tabs for second read throughs that are more in depth. Sometimes i just want to mark the fun moments in a first read & it would be a little quicker then trying to do it all at once
I love annotating ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Since you prefer the plastic, he tabs, what kind of pan do you use on them? Maybe it’s obvious but the pens that I have all seems to take a while to dry off, get ink, everywhere, smudge, get on the pages other pens just wouldn’t lay down on the plastic tabs at all sharpie, worst decently, but I find myself waiting for it to dry
Another way is that you can use tracing paper the size of the page and insert it over the page you what to highlight
Oo true!! Like page overlays
This was very useful since I use the "no damage" method for annotating just in case I have to give away the books or I don't think the book is worth annotating. But I've a question - I run out of pink tabs soooo fasstttt so does anyone know if we can buy a seperate color?
The end 🤣🤣
I can't just have a peaceful ending, truly
@@BrittanytheBibliophile Tragic, but entirely entertaining and therefore good for your subscriber count?
I love annotating, and I love watching other people talk about how they annotate. I usually just underline and high light my favorite quotes (I color coordinate the highlighter to the book cover). But occasionally, I pick up a book with the feeling that it's going to matter to me, and I use tabs to mark favorite scenes or quotes (also color coordinated with the cover/vibe/aesthetic).
Example: I just finished A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, and I highlighted using a gray Mildliner and used light grey, black, and greenish-grey sticky tabs.
I like when it looks cohesive 🤣
Do sticky tabs take off the ink when removed?
I would not use plastic tabs because they cant be recycled and can even prevent the book from recycling. And I know you want to keep the books for the rest of your life, but you don’t live forever, the books also wont, but the sticky tabs will. ♥️ no hate, just love. good paper tabs do the exact same and there are even transparent paper ones.
💜💜
I recently started to annotate on my books and I love it! It's amazing when I come back to my books and see what I felt in that moment. ♥️
I love your videos. I'm learning English on my own, and see videos about things I love helps a lot. ✨
Well thank you for watching 🤍🤍🤍
I wish I had the patience to annotate
Can you annotate nonfiction and fiction books, do know what the difference is between the two? I buy my books.😊 Thank you.
Hello Mel reads I use the post it but when I started I post it pomia my book does the color of the cover a few days ago I started using color coding my system is this pink romantic or tender monmetos The Spicy or Hot Orange Monmetos The Yellow Happy or special monmetos The green favorite phrases to remember and the blue sad moments is my color code I started using in the Book of the Hunger Games but Mockingjay is suffering psychologically and ends up hating Gale
I clicked so fast for this video.
