my complete deep reading system (annotations, tabs, and more)
🕯️ I've received tons of questions about my obsessive tabbing (along with some pretty spicy hate comments) so here's a walkthrough of my complete deep reading system including a breakdown of my annotation method, the details of my reflection process, plus some thoughts on why I write a review for every book I read.
🥀 Let me know in the comments how you engage more deeply with the books you read!
