That’s me. I’m the beginner. And here’s a little guide to how I annotated my first novel.
Before last month, I had never annotated a novel. I have annotated nonfiction books before, but those were mostly for my studies. But annotating fiction purely for fun was something I had never done. I couldn’t figure out what it was that I was supposed to annotate and how to do it, probably because we never annotated fiction books in school. However, my bookstagram feed was full of photos of annotated books with beautiful doodles and color-coded sticky tabs, and I was intrigued. So during Jane Austen July, I annotated my all-time favorite book, Pride and Prejudice. Here’s a recap of what I learned from the experiment as well as some tips on how to annotate a novel.
