I have so much hesitation when it comes to annotating my books. I have always felt that writing in or dog earing books is blasphemy as an avid reader. Books are precious and should be kept pristine! I get anxiety when there are finger prints or even food flecks on the pages. (Probably stems from being a low-income household where library books were my main source of reading.) The most I would possibly do is circle a page number when there's something I liked. Very LIGHTLY circle. Also, I feel that if I ever re-read the book (maybe I should say WHEN I re-read, haha. I always do), I want a fresh perspective on it. I don't want past impressions to get in the way of new ones. HOWEVER. Our dear Cath has slowly been changing my mind on this matter. I have seen the merit of having digital copies of books as well as physical copies (and the VERY beautiful special additions too, of course) in recent years after several times moving and physical books being in storage boxes. The digital copies are always kept free of any notes. But the way Cath's spreads are so colorful and the little doodles and notes in the margins make it look more like a reading journal and to be able to remember how I felt during those passages is a little like a diary. So THANK YOU CATH, for sharing your love of annotating and books and doodling. You've made me a BELIEVER

Okay, I have to say that I read Katherine Arden's The bear and the nightingale trilogy in 2022 and they were among my favorite books of the year. It's so magical, the characters are amazing and you can't help but root for them! It's so full with Russian folklore, the vibes are absolutely like a darker fairy tale. I was VERY emotionally invested while reading it, stil am to be honest. Stunning books!

What a cozy video! I followed the mention of The Spellshop here. I just received it today, and didn't remember preordering it, but it sounds like something I'm going to enjoy, according to your description of it. Thanks for providing links to so much of what you use too

Another wonderful video! The art in "Wonderling" was so eye-catching, I absolutely had to put it on my TBR. And the fairyloot books! Beautiful editions (I really need to finally read that series, might be perfect for Nov, hmm). Finally got the Spellshop today and seeing you annotating and gushing has me so pumped for it; can't wait to squeeze it in amidst homework and additional reading for my graduate classes, should be the perfect change of pace from that. Again, thanks for uploading. Always great to relax and watch your content! (Also, seeing the cake threw me since I was ALSO eating a small slice of chocolate cake with that exact coloring and frosting lol perfect timing I guess)

I’ve always wanted to know from people who read a lot of physical books on how they store their books? What happens when your collection is bigger than the space you have especially if you annotate in them and they can’t be sold later on? I would love a video talking about that or perhaps a book tour? 😊

Well, fudge...I stopped work to watch your video during a coffee break, and now I just want to work on my journal and read instead of going back to the tasks I need to complete. 😅 📓🖌📖 Some nice gifts from publishers! If you ever want to cross over from the fantasy genre into magical realism, you would probably like Alice Hoffman's books. I think you would particularly enjoy The Probable Future. It's about a family where at 13, all the women develop the ability to see the future.

I am a really big annotator, too. I'm wondering, do you annotate one edition, but then leave the special editions "clean"? I'm asking because I'm trying to figure out a system that satisfies my requirement for annotating😅, while, in my case, building a Family Library that will hopefully last for generations, and I'm starting to deal with this by purchasing two copies (used) of every great book that I read😂😭🤔
