    I love the whole Pilot frixion collection! They have so many colors for pens, highlighters, and markers that are erasable and as someone who makes a lot of mistakes, they’re life savers!! (:

      I'm always afraid to use the frixion pens...because I know they react to heat...don't want everything I wrote or highlighted to just...be gone...xD

      @@NippyBooks they should come back in the cold. also, i find the highlighter a bit too harsh as repeatedly erasing over a single spot will destroy the paper beneath it

    If you like the Pilot Frixion highlighters (I do too!), you might like the Pilot Frixion pens/fine liners. They erase the same way the highlighters do and honestly, I love using them in my bullet journal since they erase nicely.
    Thanks for the video! I’m currently reading a “personal growth” book and I’m slowly delving into annotating that book. Your video was super helpful!

    just thought i’d pop in and say i looked up best highlighters to use to annotate books (bc i’m visiting a friend in october) and she actually got me into the addicted/calloway series and coballoway is our couple lol. and (you would obviously know) but connor asks his 5 friends to gift him their favorite book for christmas then the next christmas he regifted the books but annotated them - which my best friend and i thought was the best thing ever and we literally will never be able to get over it. so that’s what i’m doing for her birthday this year, annotating fuel the fire and gifting that to her for her birthday in october :’)

    Okay honestly I wanted to try your annotating style with the one color with my current read to see how I like it cause like sometimes annotating slows my reading down and this is so much quicker and it still helps me take in information

  • @britrhodes6996
    @britrhodes6996 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I might need to start trying how you do it.
    I usually just underline parts that I like, like quotes or sections, and I'll write in the margins my thoughts on it. I'll tab those parts too with colors that go with what I think that part is (i.e. pink for romance, yellow for important to remember, etc). And I'll highlight words that fall under certain categories (pink for new people, green for new places, and yellow for new world specific terms)

  • @your3starweapon
    @your3starweapon ปีที่แล้ว

    Writing on books bothers me, but I wanted to start annotating now. Reason? Because I want to annotate those words that are new to me, to expand my vocabulary. I also tend to reread most of my books so if I forget the meaning of that specific word it'll be convenient to have annotation with a meaning beside it or on the footnotes. Also I think this will be a preparation since I'm planning to buy classic books (which tends to have more in depth language lol)
    But I think I'll just use transparent/sticky notes for highlighting and writing. It'll really kills me inside if I wrote on my precious books 🥲

  • @Wraith.7
    @Wraith.7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cool annotation system! I personally annotate by color coding my sticky tabs which I use for everything. This helps me find the important stuff easily but ur vid made me realize that it is indeed too much lol.. Anyway, I was just wondering, how do u find ur highlighted/underlined parts of the book?

  • @carolinetaylor3069
    @carolinetaylor3069 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I really want to annotate my books without actually writing in them but it has the opposite effect on me that it does on you unfortunately, it reeeally takes me out of the story, idk maybe I'll give it another try. I just feel like it would really help me write good reviews too.
