RiyriaMistborn Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 I don't highlight my books. I love keeping them pristine and new looking, but I'm thinking of getting spare copies to mark up when I make Connections, develop theories, or see a Worldhopper! Do you highlight/make notes in your Cosmere books? How do you go about it? Do you color code things or write notes? Like red for Ruin, red and gold for Odium, green for Cultivation, white for Preservation, etc? Looking for ideas and advice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iarwainiel I Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 I also don't highlight books, except for non-fiction. I haven't done this yet, but on my next SA re-read, my plan is to use various colors of post-it flags - like, pink for info on one of the secret societies, blue for info on the KR/Heralds/history, yellow for worldhoppers, etc. Still working out what my categories will be. I definitely want to have markers for awe-striking moments and for gnomic passages (wise sayings that could be quoted in other contexts ... I won't give an example cause spoilers, but there are more than I would have expected and from many different characters. I'd also have a key or "legend" that lists what the colors stand for. I expect that the edge of the books will bristle with flags, like a rainbow. :-) There are tons of colors of those flags, and you can always cut strips of post-its in other colors too. Plus, if you use the paper ones, you can write a couple words on each one if you want to, re: what you're marking. Hope this helps! :-) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiyriaMistborn Posted February 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 I thought about using sticky notes, but I have a feeling I'd have so many the books wouldn't be able to close! XD Plus I was worried about them falling out. I've also considered keeping a Cosmere notebook to write ideas in, but I've no idea how to organize it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesura Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Just a thought - if you had a small ring binder you could organise and reorganise it however you wanted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammanas Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 There are not a lot of color options for my ereader, but it is easy to delete or change highlighted sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 I just use the highlight feature on my Kindle. I don't mark physical copies of books, but if I didn't have the Kindle option I'd probably use colored sticky notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
