Tabby Talk: Taking Notes~



Tabby Talk is a discussion post I thought I'd do occasionally where I'll share my random thoughts on something and include my cat in them ;)


Today I'm curious how everyone track their thoughts while reading. I know a lot of people use sticky notes to mark pages with quotes and/or passages they love but do you physically take any notes? When something you read stands out, do you have to write it down or do you just remember it?

For me, usually when a thought hits, I need to immediately grab my phone and jot it down in the notepad app. If I don't, I'll end up completely forgetting it in the next five minutes. That's happened to me a couple times and every time I end up hating myself. I feel like I forgot something great (but probably not).

So do you take notes? Do you use a notebook, post-its or even multiple bookmarks? If not, how do you remember everything that happens in the book? Is there anything you have to have beside you when you're reading? Mine's that orange ball of fur in the picture below ;) I'd love it if he could help me take notes but he's normally in that position~ Anyways, I would love to hear a little about your review process!

Stacking the Shelves button

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews that lets us share what we've added to our shelves.


Saw these at practically 50% off at Costco so I picked them up~ I already got the third book now I just have to wait for the last book to come out so I can marathon them :D

Feature & Follow #38: Book Love or Hate?


Feature & Follow button

Feature & Follow is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read where each host will have their own Feature blog to show off more new blogs!


Hmmm... a book or books I thought I'd hate but loved or vice versa. This was a tricky question and I had to take a look at my read shelf to remember but I found the perfect example!!

Pivot Point by Kasie WestSplit Second by Kasie West

The Pivot Point duology was something I wasn't planning on reading because I wasn't sure how I felt about alternate universes. I had previously read a contemporary where there were two alternate realities and I ended up confused a lot throughout that book. I was very hesitant to pick up another book about alternate universes but I'm SO glad I did! Pivot Point and Split Second are perfections!! The story and the characters are amazing and so well done!! If you haven't read this duology yet, I highly recommend trying Pivot Point!

How about you? Thanks for stopping by!
