Annotating Fiction Books

Here is a Link to my annotating non-fiction post

Step one for annotating is always knowing your purpose. 

For example Someone who is annotating fiction for use in their literature class and someone who is annotating their favorite novel are going to annotate in very different ways.

Your purpose can be as simple as highlighting/tagging quotes that you like or as complex as showcasing evidence for a paper you are writing about the book. Most of my suggestions will be for those annotating for pleasure rather than for class work.

The second step is gathering your supplies.

For physical books this can be highlighters, pens, sticky notes, page flags, index cards, the book/Text For digital books this will include your device of choice (might do an in-depth post of digital texts later)

Depending on how in depth you want to be with your annotating you may wish to create a key, this can be remembered in your head, or written down in the book (or on a sticky note, index card, or reading log). Your key should be based around your purpose (as determined in step 1)

And honestly that’s all there is to it.

Here are some ideas of things to track while reading and things that I do for annotating bellow.

Using highlighters or tags to color code for different types of info (quotes, plot points, bits of the story you want to remember , funny bits, etc.)

Matching tab/highlighter colors to the books cover

Writing comments around the text (in margins, sticky notes, index cards, reading journal)

Keep track of quotes that inspire you. For me this means highlighting well written lines.

Copying quotes and Writing in a reading log to avoid damaging (borrowed) books (you can also use sticky notes if you like the feeling of writing in books. They also make clear sticky notes so u can highlight or write on top of text without hurting your books)

Using highlighters and an index card (or your reading journal) to keep a timeline, track lore, or explore the universe

Use symbols and shorthand to make annotating quicker

And remember you decide what is and isn’t appropriate for your books. You decide what is too much or too little annotating (but also keep future you in mind. don’t make future you distracted by all the annotations on your next reread, if you get distracted by these types of things, I find that if I over annotate it takes me out of the story on future rereads)

Your pics are so so pretty, thank you for sharing them.

Would you mind me asking which ipad do you use to take notes?

thank you! I'm glad you like them :) I use an iPad Air (3rd gen), which I bought at the end of 2019, with the Apple Pencil (1st gen)! I generally take notes in Notability.

The only thing I can criticise is that I may need to replace the tip of the Apple Pencil again. Other than that, everything works super smoothly, from taking notes to using it as an additional screen from my laptop.

Some of The Ways I Study “Wrong”

A lot of the time we tend to think of the “right” ways to study. But the most important aspect of studying is making sure your habits work for you! To emphasize this I am showcasing some of the ways I study “wrong” and why this “wrong” way is actually a better way for me.

a. I tend to type sitting on the couch with the computer in my lap, so I stopped putting so much emphasis on my desk and instead made a side table into my study corner in the living room

b. I tend to lose papers so I had pictures of all my documents on my phone, I stopped using paper and now all my documents are on my iPad where I can still write on them (and I can integrate them into my notebooks, so I actually remember to study them!)

c. I don’t always take notes, I know sacrilegious but sometimes I don’t have the time to watch/read/consume the text/video and take notes. For example, I will watch a video for class while I eat breakfast, or listen to a lecture while driving to work, etc etc. Your studies don’t have to be done “right” every time. it’s better to have some understanding than to stress yourself out trying to find the time to do studying “right.”
