I watched this 3 times just so that I could take notes. Love your methods...makes perfect sense. 🖋

[KatieColson]

Wowowow. You need to be given a phd in annotating. This is phenomenal. Thank you for making this.

[mandiconnell]

I thought the levels were gonna be mild, medium, and hot sauce 😂. I love your annotating style!

🖋️I think this is my new favorite “how to annotate” video!! I love your organized technique, I started doing something similar with my Dorian Gray reread and I’m still trying to decide if I enjoy it or not 😂 but yours are so beautiful!!! ❤

[a.katherinesuetterlin]

Wow! 😁 Your video popped up in my "recommendeds" section, and something told me to give your video a look-see. I am looking to get into two different types of journaling -- commonplace books, and annotations, and I can see the potential for the two styles to correspond and blend, even though the styles are somewhat different. So, naturally, videos about both types have been coming into my personal "algorithm."

Your organization of all your supplies by color is Olympic-level, girl! 😅😁 If I had the space you have just for the organizer drawers, I would be in heaven!! 1-BR apartments and sh**-tons of creative energy don't always mix.

🖋️thank you, Mabel! Your system makes total sense and I am going to give it a try. I especially liked what you said about leaving a mark on our book as it leaves a mark on us. This year I have been re-reading those books on my shelf that I cannot part from.

So nice to meet you, and looking forward to watch more of your videos. (Oh, your pens organized by graded colour…😍) greetings from the other side of the world, Valentina

I think you just made me want to up my annotating game😂 🖊️

[lesliewhite]

Not only did I stay til the end, I watched twice 😂 ✒️

I am so wanting to start annotating and I LOVE tabs and how they look. I am just stuck on how to know what to tab, like how to get started on that part. So then I get overwhelmed and don’t start. I guess I just need to try it, —but these versions that aren’t so focused on writing in your books really helped me out thank you so much!!

Love this video have watched it 3+ times

[jessicaampie]

You have inspire me! Thank you for sharing!!

[kerisbookishcorner]

Thank you so much!!! I’ve been hunting for some of these things for ages!

🖋️ Thank you for sharing your annotations with us. The only annotations I ever done was underline or highlight my book or put a ripple piece of paper as a bookmark 😂🫣 I never done tab like yours before. Your is so beautiful tab😍. I going to go back to some of my favorite books and redo them with tab.😄

I have always wanted to know folks thought process on annotating and you nailed it! I liked and subbed! So enjoyed this content. Very helpful. ✒️

12:44 I already watched your video 2-3 times but I had to watch it again because I love annotation videos and your voice is very soothing. I organized annotated a bunch of books since first watching your video and I honestly don't think I can go back to regular annotation!! My books look pretty!!😍 Big bookish hugs from Canada!!🤗

[Sirius.oy]

I love your annotations style. It does make sense for the organized tabbing. I am just starting on my annotation journey. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and insight! 🖋️

[isirlasplace]

12:17 I'm trying out your organized tabbing technique for the first time and so far I love it!!🤩

[monicapolancofabian]

You're the best! These are really great tips and so satisfying to see the intense annotations lol. I'll give these a try and let you know how it ends up :)

[bookhuggah]

Thank you for sharing this. I have been interested in annotating and wondering about how others do this too. 🖋️

🖊Thanks for a great video. I love pens, paper, stationary stores and your ideas of annotating were helpful for me to think of my own reading retention
