Oh right!!!
If you remember, WaT is the first book I ever tried tabbing on, as a a little 'dip of the toe' into annotation processes. I didn't highlight or write in the text, mostly because the hardcover was so nice I don't want to do anything permanent--I'm too coward for that atm. So, I just did those removable plastic tabs to mark things I wanted marked. If you're in the book space in other online areas, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.
I thought I'd show ya'll how it turned out because I think it's kinda pretty:
As I'm sure you can see, I started with one set of colors and then ran out and had to switch to another because this book is so long lolll. I think I was able to match the color pallet of the cover nicely enough with both sets. I did have a meaning for the specific colors, but the categories ended up being pretty chaotic, and some merged together as I went and figured out how I wanted to do things. I also kept running out of colors (even after switching sets) so some categories have 2 or 3 colors for them lol.
Overall I did really enjoy doing this. WaT was a pretty good book to 'practice' on, because the nature of stormlight and Cosmere books meant I sort of knew what to expect, and how I wanted to do things. I think in the future, I'll try and go for vaguer and fewer categories, or no color coded categories at all, because while I liked marking stuff with the tabs, I don't know if the categories were really my thing.
Also, I justΒ barelyΒ have room for this behemoth on my Sanderson shelf, I don't what I'm gonna do when I collect more of SA (I only have wok, row, and wat). My books are quite literally tetris-ed into that bookcase to get them all to fit lol.
I think this morning, now that I've slept on the finale and have had some time to think about it, my opinion is still really high. I love this book. I also let myself go look at a bunch of spoiler memes this morning and I'm having the time of my life.
ANYway. I'm gonna go lurk in the spoiler forums, I hope ya'll are having a good morning! I didn't have to go to school today because of President's day, and we had pancakes for breakfast, so all around things are pretty great.
I did actually get the itch to make some WaT fanart this morning, but we'll see if that happens because I'm a little bit art blocked atm.
Love ya'll!!
