Reply to comment by Melithiel in What is a book that you found to be the most underline-able, highlight-able, or quotable? by Fossill4

I sometimes do this and it’s often to mark sentences that stood out to me. Mostly because they were just really beautiful and I want to be able to reread them again later. But you can also underline a sentence because it’s relatable or because you found it funny or something like that. If you look up videos on why people annotate books you might find better examples and instructions

Adding to that, I also love when I receive a book with annotations and get to see what another person thought about the book when they read it. Especially when I know the person, it makes me feel close to them!

I love that, I have never received an annotated book before but I kind of want one know 🙈

For real, I picked up a copy of civ and madness from the my schools library which was heavily annotated and despite having personal disagreement about writing on a library book it was really fascinating to see which parts stood out to them and learning about them through there notes to self
