Women who Run with the Wolves: Contacting the Power of the Wild Woman | Clarissa Pinkola Est's

#haikuaday #haikuhive
I know to some, it's almost sacrilegious to write in a book. But, oh how I love annotating a book, and I haven't done that since my days of teaching. It's only page 1, but we'll see how much more I'll write.

First book I have marked
since teaching literature.
Now, I'm the student.

JenlovesJT47 It goes against my OCD to write in books unless they‘re workbooks. Perhaps I should try it and live a little dangerously! 😅 3d

TheBookHippie @JenlovesJT47 😅 3d

AnnCrystal I never liked doing this until recently. I read an article about an old book found with handwritten notes, and another article about finding review notes in a book left in a Little Free Library.

It made me reconsider, and now I absolutely love the idea of notes being written in books. It's like your connecting with the story, or sharing a notion with a future reader.

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Post-it notes work well, too! 😅 3d

dabbe @AnnCrystal Exactly! 🧡🩶💛 3d

Cuilin I love annotating books. Love, love, love.!!!! I have my page flags, pencils, highlighters and I decorated a little notebook for this!!! I feel like I‘m back at school and I love it! 🥰 3d

dabbe @Cuilin #dittodarlin'! 🧡🩶💛 3d

ElizaMarie Please add me to your tag list for this book - also- I‘m so excited to read this with y‘all! 3d

dabbe @ElizaMarie That could have been me! 🤪 I cut and pasted members from two different groups! Is she on the main list, @Chrissyreadit? 3d

Chrissyreadit @dabbe it was my mistake I am almost positive I went to add @ElizaMarie and was distracted- but now she is on all my posts! And i hope she forgives me 😣 3d

marleed I picked up an old mass market paperback of Frankenstein from an LFL and it was filled with annotations. I loved it. I also had a thrifted B&N hardback which was my primary source of reading because my eyes aren‘t fit for yellowed pages of an old mm paperback - but I referenced the annotations in the pb while reading the hb! 3d

ElizaMarie @Chrissyreadit no reason to forgive! I appreciate all your hard work on this group! 3d

ElizaMarie @Cuilin I love to read others thoughts as well! (Probably why I love this community so much) - also it‘s sometimes insightful to go back and see what I thought during a first read and how much I‘ve grown since then. 3d

Cuilin @ElizaMarie I love seeing others annotations in second hand books. I love all types of book chatter. 3d

dabbe @Chrissyreadit 🧡🩶💛 3d

dabbe @marleed The collective knowledge is just incredible, isn't it? 🧡🩶💛 3d

lil1inblue I love annotating my books! My grandfather passed when I was young, but I was able to get to know him by the annotations he left in his books. 💓 3d

dabbe @lil1inblue This just brought me chills. 💛💜🧡 3d

Chrissyreadit @lil1inblue that is beautiful and a gift! 2d

Chrissyreadit This is my first time annotating a book outside of college- and in theory lmpbc- but i was terrible at annotating those! 2d

dabbe @Chrissyreadit I would be beyond terrible--especially since I have no idea what they are! 😂 2d

Chrissyreadit @dabbe litsy mark up postal book club- groups of 4 and you annotated as you read so that when you got your book back you had everyone‘s notes of what they thought as they read the book. 2d

dabbe @Chrissyreadit Now that you mention this, I dimly remember seeing this on Litsy. Is it not being done anymore? Too much work? It sounds like a fabulous idea. 2d

Chrissyreadit it was fabulous! and ran strong for about 7 years- that‘s 21 or so rounds! then people stopped signing up for it so suvata ended it. i bet it could be revived in some form. it was an endeavor- there were usually 26 or so groups of 4. 2d

dabbe @Chrissyreadit Hmmm. 🤔 2d

lil1inblue @Chrissyreadit I love that (lmpbc)! My mom and I do that together, and it's so interesting! 2d

Chrissyreadit @dabbe @lil1inblue I think some of the groups continue on their own. the way it worked was that 4 people agreed on a theme or genre- then shared choices of books then everyone voted for the book they were most interested in (for example i would pick 4 fantasies off my shelf and see if anyone had read them- those are removed from choice, then based on a book with most interest and each person did same. it was fun! 2d
