I Don't Wanna Talk About It

I don't wanna talk about it 😭

You're so pretty I miss you

I totally get wanting to make your book annotations ~aesthetically appealing~ I also like mine to look pretty, but I have such a hard time understanding the people who annotate every single thing in the book. When I see a book with underlines, highlights, circles, sticky notes, scribbled notes in the margins, and tabs all over every single page— it makes me wonder if the person actually cares about critically analyzing the book, or if they’re just doing it for the aesthetic.

Here’s a few examples of what I mean, I don’t want to take anyone’s photos so I’m just gonna share the pinterest links for them. But here are some examples of what I would consider “over annotating”: X X X X X X X

Here’s another example of what I mean 😭

This one is too much for me too but you can tell this book is extremely loved 🥰

It sort of reminds me of my younger self, back in school, when I’d basically highlight the entire text book because… well everything seemed like it was super important and I needed to remember all of it lol. It wasn’t until I left school that I realized doing this made it really hard for me to remember anything about what I read. I wasn’t actually consciously thinking, evaluating, absorbing the information; simply highlighting it all because everything is important.

As I’ve gotten older, better read, and more confident in my own abilities to discern what is and isn’t important to retain and analyze; I’ve noticed my own annotations become more selective. Of course I still have a million thoughts, but not important enough to permanently put into the books themselves. Instead I use a few sheets of paper, write my thoughts on those, and paper clip it into the front cover of the book.

Here’s an example of what I’d consider a “normal” amount of annotating: X X X X

I also noticed that a lot of the overdoing is done most by people who prefer genre fiction over literature fiction. Which is why I’m assuming it’s mostly for the aesthetic of appearing to be more critically engaged with the content then you actually are. Idk. Or maybe they really are that deeply affected by the story and really think every single sentence, word, scene, conversation etc. is important enough to think critically about and make note of.

Okay, I reeeeally hope this works properly...
