There’s a sort of magic in re-reading favourites and highlighting and tabbing the hell out of them.

other people annotating books:
<- "wonderful representation of pain and trauma through poetry ♡♡" ->->"this quotes proves that the protagonist's pov is biased and thus the reader should not trust him"
my notes on the margins of the book:
"lmao so gay" "wtf bro that's sus"

The Stormlight Archive Volume 1: The Way of Kings’ Review: Chapters 5-8
Tumblr media
link to contents page - https://at.tumblr.com/the-vibes-are-off/hey-hey/96xd9ohihrzs
Right, well, you know how I said in my previous post that my COVID test was negative? Yeah so I was swiftly clowned and I am now SICK right on essay season. I have dug out crusty dusty old HP Pavilion to do work but I’m essentially only using it for Tumblr so. My partner is officially in another country now (I know you’re going to read this so pls come back I am dying) so I cant even be babied 24/7 due to the time difference. On season 4 of Criminal Minds already tho so ....
In terms of reading, I am officially back and LOVING it. I am limiting myself to 4 chapters in one setting because that’s how much I want my review sections to cover and writing this takes longer than I thought it would tbh. Lets get to it! 
Spoiler Free Zone:
The split narrative is like definitely managing my problems with maintaining my attention. I will say that since Kaladin’s story line, although definitely interesting don’t get me wrong, would probably get boring if it was all I was reading. I’m more a magic and lore and pretty women fantasy enjoyer than a grr fight fantasy enjoyer since my like gritty lit enjoyment comes from different genres.
Loving the direction that Shallan’s plot line is going in, I’m glad Brandon doesn’t just give the characters what they want straight away and there is at least the illusion that they’re working for something even though its obvious they’ll achieve it eventually.
Mostly, I’m just loving the characters they’re introducing in Shallan’s story, maybe not so much SOME people (a certain person specifically I dislike is beginning, BEGINNING to grow on me) as they’re just so lovely and cute and nice and ugh we love to see it.
*** SPOILERS INCOMING ***
Spoiler Zone:
I’m saying it now, I did initially think Jasnah was just a bitch tbh like I get she’s all important and up her own ass or whatever but she doesn’t appreciate art??? I get Shallan like couldnt just get what she wanted but like .... come on. I was so mad when she just started shouting n shit when Shallan was waiting in the alcove like get a grip pls. However.... turning a boulder to smoke? I had to tab that as cool, like that was just a smart idea to clear it and a cool fckn power to have 
Shallan wanting to steal tho? I love her, a true icon as she should steal from the bitch. I literally just tabbed it love this bc ? Slay like what else could I do. I’d steal it too 
aaaaaaaaand then were back to Kaladin actually just getting fucking shit on at every turn yet again. mf has to carry a bridge?? and then get shot at with arrows?? my goodness give this man a break 
The spren getting a name tho like Syl is acc like carrying Kaladin’s arc for me I want to know what is going on there I am trying so hard not to spoil it for myself
From an arts and humanities student standpoint, I did tab Shallan describing how she views her art and the process of creation as like fleshy and human. Like in both studying and writing poetry I relate to capturing a person or a place or a moment on paper 
And then 2 cuties that I simply had to draw attention to in Brother Kabsal and Yalb. They are iconic and I adore them the end :*

i finished Queen of Shadows last night and now it’s time to do the tandem read of the Throne of Glass series ✨
Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn
it took me one and a half hours to mark all the chapter with annotating tabs and it just so happened that my sister had the perfect matching colors for the two books ✨
Tumblr media
im so proud of that result 😅✨

I'm starting my Crescent City reread and it's making me want to tab my books so bad, but I really don't want to write in them. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can use?

I just finished annotating/tabbing Six of Crows and the amount of tabs that I used is quite surprising (to me at least).
A total of 186 tabs were used, with the highest number being for Kaz at 37 tabs (roughly 19.89%).
The percentage and amount of tabs used for each character/tabbed thing:
Kaz Brekker: 36 tabs/19.89%
Inej Ghafa: 21 tabs/11.29%
Jesper Fahey: 31 tabs/16.66%
Wylan Van Eck: 18 tabs/9.67%
Matthias Helvar: 25 tabs/13.44%
Nina Zenik: 22 tabs/11.82%
Major Events: 20 tabs/10.75%
World Building: 12 tabs/6.45%
Did I do this for no reason? Yes.
Is the maths correct? I'm not sure and I'm not willing to check.
Is it cool to see the difference for each character knowing that it'll likely shift drastically in Crooked Kingdom? Yes.

testing a new book tabbing system and it’s made my reading, note taking, and analysis so much better. not to mention it’s completely sliced my highlighting habits (which is a good thing). and it’s a color coded system! 😍

The Stormlight Archive Volume 1: The Way of Kings’ Review: Chapters 9-11
Tumblr media
link to contents page - https://at.tumblr.com/the-vibes-are-off/hey-hey/96xd9ohihrzs
oh yeah I want to do these in chunks of four chapters yeah that’ll be nice .. WRONG no it wont bc part 1 is 11 chapters long :| *sigh* ig I’ll have to live with it. I have drank so much tea since I tested positive that I have 1 darjeeling tea bag left I could cry I need more someone send me more im begging pls. If anyone gives a shit about the Criminal Minds progress, I’ve watched 20 episodes since my review yesterday. 
ugh, I respect Brando setting everything out in satisfying chunks but like you should have seen just the utter defeat I experienced reaching the end of chapter 11 man ;-;. I’ll allow it because I really enjoyed this chunk....
Spoiler Free Zone: 
finally, FINALLY at the end of this chunk I am starting to like Mr Edgy Boy Kaladin more like I have finally realised that the reason I wasn’t liking him that much was because he felt so low energy so it made me low energy to read it because it didn’t fit how I thought his character should be and its finally getting out of that now *phew*
I liked the flashback chapter, it felt good to get some context on why Kal is the way he is and it finally makes sense. Deffo a connecting the dots on Kaladin section which feels great I really didn’t want to go the full series having some ick over him 
*** ABANDON ALL HOPE, ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE ***
Spoiler Zone:
genuinely, at the start of this section all I could think was Kaladin needs a fucking break man, poor guy is absolutely slammed at every fucking corner like I just want to run him a bath and make him a cuppa. Like everyday hes acc just being rained on by a barrage of arrows and watching everyone die im not surprised he’d want to throw himself into the honour chasm i have wanted to do that over less
Living for his surgeon dad, he had the right idea. Maybe if he’d listen to papa about the whole fighting to save lives is like trying to stop a storm by blowing harder maybe Kal would just be a run of the mill surgeon saving lives and way of kings would be like greys anatomy (Kaladin the next McDreamy fr?????)
Syl is acc my fave as well shes so cute ;-; she rlly said Kal have cute leaf and its straight up poison skskks shes so me 
then to round all this up on the slay of Kaladin being like yeah I died, this is my vengeful spirit just fucks so hard pop off, as he should. Its nice to see him taking his life into his own hands finally some energy brought to his section 
Tab Count:
Cute <3 - 1
Fights - 0
Sad ;-; - 1
Death - 0 (Ik there was technically deaths but I’m only tabbing significant named characters or I think I’d run out of tabs)
Cool - 0 
Wtf moments - 0
Slay Quotes - 2 
Love this! - 0 
Hate this >:( - 0 
Lore - 0 
Tab Total:

Because I look things up in my copies of LB & BM multiple times a day, I thought I’d add some tabs for ease of finding what I’m looking for, plus bits I need to keep in mind for fics I’m writing, ideas for new drabbles, etc.
So I think— I’ve seen picture of people using tabs online, I wonder if there’s info about processes & annotations. So I search, & of course it’s A Thing lol but I haven’t found any helpful info on why people do it beyond It Helps Me Remember My Favorite Bits which, okay; valid.
But like. Can I have more information? Is that out there? From other fanfic writers? Please help lol. Idc about aesthetics lol. I want to utilize a tool.
