@tomwayling: #stitch with @bill wood An annotated copy of the first edition of The Secret History Of White-Hall (1697), that contains secrets of its own #BookTok
It's funny how much of the things we try to hide become unique windows into how life actually was through history.

Everytime I see old stuff like this, I have this moment of "People did really exists back then" and I have a bit of an existential crisis

I started annotating in my first year of uni. I’m graduating in July and I love re-reading my annotations. I’m going on to postgraduate study so I hope I’ll come back to these books and see how (1)

I’m amazed at how modern that English is. I never thought I’d understand XVII century English

this sounds like a reason to annotate. maybe it is embarrassing when we read our own notes, but someone centuries into the future could read it, and that's kind of beautiful

You'd think with how people viewed Charles I & II, Our present King Charles would have taken a different regnal name, like George VII or Edward IX.

my annotations are more pronounced underlinings of significant lines with an occasional "damn!" written by the side

When you don’t annotate a book, it’s a book. When you do, it becomes an artifact

I wish my teenage self had annotated books because I would LOVE to read what that little idiot thought. And, as an archaeologist, would love for future historians to know what she thought too
