5 things I’m annotating

There is a lot going on in this novel. I’m reading Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez. There are some thematic things that feel very important. Details that stand out. I’m meticulously annotating

1. The word “happiness”

2. Gardenia flowers

3. Birds

4. Poetry

5. Pictures (photos, film, paintings)

Okay maybe BookTok doesn’t care. Really I don’t care either. But annotating is one of my favorite things to do as I read! I don’t like to highlight or mark up my books. I was taught from a young age not to write in books, and it’s stuck with me. Which is why annotating tabs and clear sticky not
