How I annotate my books

[strangegiraffe]

This is how my friend tabs her books:
Yellow: meaningful
Blue: sad
Pink: romance
Orange: whatever I decide(depends on the book)

Is it bad that I genuinely did not know that people annotate for fun?

[hayleigh]

not colour coding the tabs absolutely freaks me out
I usually choose a colour for each theme/topic i tab and try to match them to the cover as best i can

Thank you so much I’ve been trying to figure this out for weeks me and my sister well my sister mainly are book lovers I am starting to read more and more books and I’ve been wanting to try this❤❤❤

[juanmenez]

I use a Cadbury bar packet as a bookmark

[Talesandtexts]

Finally, someone like me who tabs using whichever colour they feel like at the moment.
I tried the whole “specific coloured tab for specific theme” - but I found I was going through one type of colour so swiftly while barely using the rest, that I ended up spending a LOT on new tab strips.

The pastel tab look really good with the cream colour of the page

[aileenocampo]

Yellow: funny
Blue: sad
Pink: love/romance
Purple: things I found interesting or facts about the characters that I liked

I love this! I was just now tabbing without color coding (for the aesthetics) and only tabbing if I WANT to come back to this page or passage.

I’m so glad the first video I watched said the exact same thing! No need to stress yourself about reading for fun! ❤😇✨

Here's how I annotate all my books.
I just rip out all the pages I don't want, and keep the ones I do.
It's alot easier this way!
Plus you don't have to spend money on tabs ;)

how i tab my books:
orange-relatable
pink-romantic/hot/smutty
yellow-happy/funny
green-quotes/badass moments
blue-sad

I wish books made me cry. I’ve never cried despite the deaths and sad scenes I’ve read. Never shed a tear. It’s annoying. I want to feel the ultimate emotion while reading :(

Edit: I heard that “If He Had Been With Me” was a good book that makes people emotional, so I got it. Idk when I’m going to read it. I have 500 books on my nightstand rn, but I think I’ll read it after I finish reading a book for one of my classes, which I should finish today or tomorrow. I hope I cry. Wish me luck lol.

I read only horror pretty much. This is how I annotate.
Orange: Fucked up scene/something that rose an emotion out me
Pink: Relationship/other
Yellow: Important information/Plot Information
Green: Quotes / good writing
Blue: Character development/mindset

Always colour code if you can. Makes more sense

Fantastic way of annotating your Books Morgann! 😃

[segyloveschombey]

I love just using any colours its like a surprise when I go back

[joceelizabethh]

[sidneyparkerr]

pink - romance
orange - fighting/arguments
blue - sad
green - funny
purple - important/favorite parts

[thatawkwardnerd]

I tab my books the same way: anytime I laugh, smile, or cry. The problem is, almost all the books I read have super snarky and like sarcastic characters with lots of trauma (also, I'm a very emotional person), so I end up having tabs on almost every page and then it's not really worth it anymore

[Equine_Legend]

I just started doing that to my last book and I just realized how much easier to go back and reread my favorite parts. Normally I struggle looking through all the pages because I can’t find the part I want to reread.

How I tab
Match the colors/vibes of the book

Light color to make lines/sentences I loved (can be anything like happy, cute, romantic, sad, funny, sarcastic, etc)

Dark color for scenes that I loved that didn’t have a specific line that I loved but the scene was just amazing, and it can be for any kind of scene, as long as I would go back to reread that scene
