okay but for real, that tip about how to place the tab is one of the most useful annotation tips I've ever gotten! Thank you!

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

hahahah I'm so happy I at least helped one person with it! When I was filming it was literally like what... the... hell... am I doing? 😅

@abeautifulchaosofbooks 5 лет назад

This is really interesting! As someone who is thinking of annotating their books in the future, maybe... this is super helpful 😂

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

Aaah so glad it was helpful! I hope you're going to annotate your books as well!

@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm 5 лет назад

Man I really wish I had the motivation to annotate my books

@priscillareads 5 лет назад

For the red wedding, I colored the edges of the pages red so it stands out and I’ll never forget lol

@deannascorner8112 2 года назад

I’m so glad you kept the part in about how you put the tab on the book because it’s exactly what I do and I felt so seen! ❤️

@JemimaRose 5 лет назад

ngl when i first started annotating i had no idea where to place the tab so that would have been actually super useful hahaha now i barely stick it out for paper back but stick it out by about 2 cm for hardcovers :P

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

hahaha glad you wouldn't found it interesting!

@lucascastelo3010 5 лет назад

I used to annotate in my books, but i currently run out off tabs, need to buy it soon because it's so fun to annotate you dig more of the story. Loved the video❤

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

aah I hope you can get your hands on some new tabs soon! Thank you! x

@krisiet6751 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for making this video!I was really curious to see how you annotate your books,especially these books because I am planning on re-reading them.Your video was really helpful.+you are so sweet!

@nherbooks 5 лет назад

YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! 🙌🏻 I love the posts it notes at the end. I want to give that a go! My colour scheme also changes from book to book. This was so interesting and thanks so much for sharing!! ♥️

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

So glad you liked it!!

@tamiiiloveday 5 лет назад

I love seeing this type of videos. Tip: Whenever you whant more subsections for your post-its you can easily put them in the top part of the book instead of the sides. Also, what I've been obssesed lately is to write at the end or at the beginning of the chapter a post-it with a little summary (it is very helpful when your trying to find something specific). Sorry, this comment is really long but what I've been doing in MAAS books is that I specifically give one color to plot details and another one to the "world details". I loved this video

@izzsmith602 4 года назад

This is my favourite video I've seen on this so far, I even appreciate the sticky tab tutorial XD You're also absolutely adorable! Oh my gods!

I love your tip for putting in tabs it’s soo helpful I always spend ages trying to make them even & stick out the right amount

@fatimahalmutawa6594 5 лет назад

I have a tip :) If u want to emphasize some VERY important info or stuff, let the sticky note stick out more. So based on how long the sticky note sticks out I guess 😂😭 u can know how important this scene is to u I hope that was helpful

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

@jamied4430 5 лет назад

Such a good idea putting important events and character info in the back! I have such a bad memory for character descriptions and this would help me a lot!

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

It was literally the best tip I ever got! I also have suuuch bad memories when it comes to character descriptions!

@catsarecool4471 5 лет назад

been waiting for this!!!!

@nat4465 5 месяцев назад

I find it helpful also to put a large post it in the back to keep track of the characters as they show up and the page. I hadn’t thought of rewriting it, that’s something I’ll consider doing in the future if the post it gets messy or old ☺️ that’s one thing that felt was a draw back about post its.

@rv6213 5 лет назад

Thank you for doing this video when we requested it❤️❤️❤️loving it :) maybe I'll start annotating too now that I know how to do it properly

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

@Ann86dk 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing your tips. I only sometimes underline my books, most often I just tab, but I want to incorporate some sore of sticky note with plot points, opinions and stuff with every 50 pages or 100 pages (depending on the books length). I definitely feel like I have more things to reference when I read Scifi and Fantasy. But then when I read contemporaries or other genres outside the SFF I will use those tabs that I never use as much, to make sure to use all my tabs. (usually 3-4 colors).

@carolaloan 5 лет назад

Hi Britt!! I'm also reading the game of thrones books and I found this so helpful. I was annotating my books in such a random way but I think I will try to use your method. I really liked it! Thanks for the video :)

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

Aaah I'm so happy you're reading the Game of Thrones books! Happy reading!! So happy that this video was helpful!

@Kaitlynne.G24 5 лет назад

7:00 I laughed so freakin hard, because its true 😂😂 But your video was very helpful, I didn't really think about having tiny summarizes in the back. I've been wanting to get into annotating and I forget easily, and that really helped me lessen the waste of my tabs for future annotating. ❤ #NewSubscriber 😁

Its a really interesting idea, im going to try it with all sagas of books... Thanksssss ♡

@AuroraXA 4 года назад

When you showed how you put the sticky tabs in the books, I could relate! I want to start doing some sticky tabs in books I love but was considering just cutting off the end of the tab so it's shorter and doesn't stick out as much from the pages. I didn't want to cover the text much or at all, and just keep the tab in the margins.

Hi Britt Loved the sticky tap bit 💜📚🇩🇰 and i love your vlogs 📚🍩☕️🤓

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

Thank you!!

@natscorner 5 лет назад

Loved this Britt! I really need to start annotating better as I just use whatever tabs match the cover😂🙈 I really need to get a system down. For actually underlining quotes I use a highlighter and again match it with the colour of the cover and I think I’m going to stick to that but yeah I need to get a system down for the tabs. You have now definitely inspired me to do that when I pick up my reread of A Clash of Kings🎉☺️

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

Thank you!! I do love that you match your highlighter with the colours of the cover!! Hope you'll annotate A Clash of Kings! Happy reading!

@laurenb_101 5 лет назад

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ‘I’ll probably keep it in’ - so glad you did! I find these types of videos fascinating because I never annotate my books - I cringe at the thought of writing in my books! 😳😅 But I do love the sticky notes idea and it is something which I do frequently think about. I especially love the idea of having sticky notes in the back outlining the main events. I would love to have a go at this! So who knows? Maybe one day...I might just annotate them 😊🌸

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

hahaha! Aaah well you can definitely also annotate by only using sticky tabs and post its in the back! No need to write in the book! Just paste the sticky tab exactly at the sentences you mean to remember. I hope you'll give it a try! Good luck!

@laurenb_101 5 лет назад

Yes I think I shall definitely give the sticky notes/tabs a try 😇 I think I will lose sleep if I write in my books! You’ve definitely inspired me! 🤗

@cristinaargetoianu7132 5 лет назад

I do the same thing with the sticky tabs, thought i was thought i was the only one, omg, you are so cute!

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

It was literally the best annotation tip I've ever got! hahah aaw thanks

@librarycutie 5 лет назад

i love this. i’m always changing up how i annotate since fantasy and contemporary need different styles, i might use a similar style to yours if i ever work up the courage to read game of thrones!

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

So glad you liked it!! Yesss fantasy and contemporary definitely need different annotation styles! YOU CAN DO IT! I really hope you pick up ASOIAF one day!

@BrittanytheBibliophile 5 лет назад

Aww I love that you switch it up from book to book. there have been certain tabs that I feel like I could change/combine in my own but I'm so nervous to change it because I'm scared that if I ever go back to books that I had annotated differently I won't remember what the tabs meant 🙈

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

Do it!! I always make a 'key' at the beginning of each book so I can remember which colours I used for which meaning! It really helps (otherwise I'd also DEFINITELY forget 😂my memory sucks so bad lol)

@JulEnglefaris 5 лет назад

The only annotations I do is I underline a phrase if it *REALLY* speaks to me. I can't do the tabs cuz I personally find them too distracting but I love seeing others books with all the tabs like your GoT copy 🌈

@callmeaftercoffee 5 лет назад

Haha I loved this! So glad the sticky notes worked for you! I used the same method in the way of Kings and I have sooooo many notes in the back! 😂 Starting a clash of Kings sooooo soon! So excited! I still just use the 5 but sometimes I wish I had at least a 6th colour. (currently I use green for quotes and plot points) but I also have some tiny stick post-its that I sometimes add at the end of chapters for a mini summary. Now I want to film this video too 😂. I love seeing how other people organize their notes and which colours they use for which things.

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

It was suuuch a great tip! I still need to read The Way of Kings. It has literally been on my shelf for YEARS. Definitely film this video too!!

@thefaeriewilds 5 лет назад

Ok here is my biggest tabbing question: What do you do when there are multiple categories something could fit into? Like if it was a quote that also made you have a yaaas moment? Would you put both tabs?

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

I always just pick a random one actually hahaha But say it's a yaaas moment and a nice quote at the same time, I'd pick the quote actually!

@catherineoconnor6025 3 года назад

Wow, what was TGOT book like.. how many pages does it have? The show was sooo good!! I had annotate one of my books before. It was actually enjoyable. :)

@livienneherrick7638 4 года назад

I have a tip for you. If you have an EXTREMELY important scene to you, put the sticky tab on the top instead of the side. Hope this helps!

@willlexie 3 года назад

11:18 I also do the same. I want my tabs to have similar length. Then after I finish the book, I’m just running out my fingers to feel the tabs, the satisfaction..........

@miri_w02 5 лет назад

I have a question: if you finished a book and also annotated it do you put it right back in your bookshelf - so that the book end touches the bookshelf wall or do you leave space between the wall and the bookend (this is such a weird question and I am not sure if you understand what I mean but yeah... I’m just curious 😂😅)

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

hahah what an original question! On my bookshelf, I never really push the books all the way to the end, because otherwise my shelves always look so empty! So all my books are placed in the middle of the shelves (and the tabs will therefore never really bend!)

@nanguaaa 5 лет назад

I’ve always wanted to annotate my books but have don’t it. I think it’s always interesting to hear how people do it.

@shira1003 5 лет назад

keep annotating the characters. There are more to come in the 2nd & 3rd book some never appear in the show or show up early in the book than in the show. I don't use pen either, I use color pencils so I can erase just in case

@BasicallyBrittx 5 лет назад

Thanks for the tip! That's a great one as well! Coloured pencils!
