    E149: Annotation, Marginalia & Bookish Notes to Self

    Today, I’m talking about something I don’t do well in my reading life, but I want to: adding annotation and marginalia to the books I read. I’m quite comfortable with my sticky note and book dart practices, but something is calling me to explore more methods to leave tracks of my thinking in the books I read.  Come listen as I explore the how and why behind annotation, marginalia and what I like to call ‘bookish notes to self’. We’ll discuss why it matters and I’ll offer 5 ways you could bring the practice to your own reading life…which means you’re more able to make changes in your actual life, too.  What do YOU think about annotation, marginalia and bookish notes to self? I’d love to hear more about your practices in the comments so I can give them a try, too!
