Why I Love Annotating Books

Annotating books can seem like a daunting task, potentially because we’re encouraged to do it the most in an educational environment, but beyond the realm of the classroom, the process is what you make of it. You get to decide what to highlight, underline, and comment on. Whether it’s a stylistic technique, a literary device, or just something that drew a laugh from you, anything is fair game for your pen, your highlighter, your colourful tabs or—if you’re like me—your tiny post-it notes.
