Currently cruel prince by holly black sooo delicious
I kinda want to start annotating books, but for one I don't like writing in books, and two I mostly read library books soo...
I guess I'll have to buy extra copies of a book I really like to annotate... (maybe Les Mis?)
lie with me by philippe besson and schoolgirl by osamu dazai
Romeo and Juliet. Only because that the *only* book I’ve fully annotated (I’m still reading/annotating) I started annotating Twilight but 1/3 of the way in I’m like hell nah I ain’t doin this.
the most annotated books i have are actually books that i've read and annotated for school (in order to write an essay about it). and they're all french like annie ernaux's "mémoire de fille", my most recent are geneviève guèvremont's "le survenant" and anne hébert's "kamouraska".
the collected poems of sylvia plath. i love her and her poetry so so so much <33
gone girl and eleanor oliphant is completely fine :D
Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare (it's the only fully annotated book I have)
On Earth We’re Briefly Goregous by Ocean Vuong. It wrecked me and not only do I think of it regularly, it is dog eared on so many pages that the book seems a lot thicker than it actually is.
Either The picture of Dorian gray or A streetcar named desire due to school
Eleanor oliphant is completely fine. Some great words throughout and some insightful snippets about interacting with others and finding love/connection following trauma.
solitaire by alice oseman and the so g of achilles by madeline miller
I would have to say Circe! Actually, Circe and The Song of Achilles were the first books I ever felt the urge to annotate (i used to hate the idea)
The Great GatsbyBut that's because I had to read it for school and annotations were graded and I think I would've enjoyed reading it more if I didn't have to take note of every little thing :'(
The Picture of Dorian Gray is probably my most annotated but Babel is a close second!
Admittedly I am not the greatest fan of writing in my books, so my options are limited, but my most annotated book is The Collector by John Fowles. I wrote many notes throughout the book, and in the last few pages I wrote a sort of review/analysis. It was sort of a thrilling experience, because I started reading the book normally, but as the story grew more and more intense, I felt the pressing urge to start annotating. The Picture of Dorian Gray is probably next in line, but I'm not sure if it counts. I only wrote a few notes, but I underlined countless sentences and paragraphs.
Crime & Punishment and anything Arthur Doyle.
my most annotated book would be either a worthy love by a.e. valdez or fourth wing by rebecca yarros <3
Ruin and Rising is probably my number 1
Cadáver exquisito from Agustina Bazterrica
ok so my book process is thus:every book on the first read: highlight and color code
if i really like the book when it's done ill go back for a second read with a pencil and annotate + draw
currently doing the second step with my copy of brideshead revisited 😙
Most annotated currently is ACOTAR...but that's because I just started annotating books....and have fallen in love with the process. Who knew writing, highlighting, and really going into the book- really getting into the story- would be so dang satisfying?
By far, the books of Joan Anderson, starting with A Year By The Sea: Thoughts of an Unfinished Woman.
Ari and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe!!! I read it when I was a lot younger so maybe thats why, but as an angsty Mex immigrant I saw myself so much in the characters. I just like angry MCs lmao
a little life, i read the whole book with a highlighter and a pen in my hand
i'm still currently reading it but the count of monte cristo. my copy has so many tabs and dog ears it's not even funny
the book of disquiet by Fernando Pessoa and the fall by Camus
I don’t annotate a lot, mostly just dog ear pages that I like for whatever reason, Grey Dog by Elliot Gish actually got me to fully annotate though
my dark vanessa. i just had so much to say about that book 😖
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes <3
The secret history by Donna tartt or the picture of Dorian gray for sure.
Ecco Homo By Friedrich Nietzsche
One Of Us Is Lying by Karen M. Mcmanus.. She’s my favourite author
Arcadia closely followed by The Great Gatsby. Super satisfying to read back through
