## Caption

Some people collect pristine books. I collect conversations.

This copy of Black Milk has been on my shelf since 2022. Every highlight, scribble, dog-ear and little note captures who I was in that moment. Looking through it four years later felt like reading two stories, Elif Shafak's... and my own.

That's the beauty of annotating. You're not just reading a book. You're leaving little pieces of yourself between its pages.

Have you ever revisited an old annotated book? It's like having coffee with a younger version of yourself.

Are you an annotator, or does writing in books make you cringe?
