I am glad that you're back because you have def been my comfort youtuber for years. I started writing because of you & finished a Nanowrimo once because I was inspired by you back in 2013.. I know a long ass time ago lmao I don't even have that story anymore, it died with my old PC pfft Welcome back, I can't wait to watch more of your videos (:

I'm waiting for the manga video now (:

Your zero draft is so much nicer, and more put together than my first draft. Ugh. I'm gonna file that as a matter of practice, you've likely put in a lot more time than I have working on the craft.

7:51 just you wait

I've been watching u since 2014/2025 omg welcome back

AHHHHH. TASTE! This is How You Lose the Time War is also my all-time favorite book. I finished the audiobook, started it over again, finished it, then immediately went to the book store to buy the hardcover. Then, I read it two more times. All in week's time. It's just...perfection. I think this is my sign that it's time for a re-read.

So nice to see a new video from you ☺️ I want to let you know that your videos helped me a lot to learn english !! Back in early booktube days I stumbled upon them and the fact that you don’t speak too quickly and had some subtitles available made a world of difference ! So thanks 💕 your videos will always mean a lot to me

Love love your videos Kat! IV read 7 of those series completely and the rest I haven't heard much about lol! 😅

I really do not like Sarah J Maas' books, ACOTAR and ACOWAR are just... ugh. BUT ACOMAF. It will live forever in my heart. Honestly. And for one main reason: mental health representation. I have rarely read a book where trauma and depression felt so real and lived. We have so many favorites in common 🤩

I read Divergent trilogy and I'm going to have to agree with you. The last two books weren't great. The 2ed book was okay at best, I liked that we went to the farms of this world and saw Triss miss her parents but after reading the last book the twist of this world was really boring and really felt like a cop out and four finally stops being a jerk just to then have Triss die almost immediately after! Like what the fuck Virginia!?

I love seeing how you plot. It's so inspiring. I've been watching this series while I plot out a couple new projects. Yes, I said couple 😅

This is INSANELY helpful. Thank you so much for this series!!

Nice! Maybe the killer can have ties to a spirit too, and want the android body for them? 🤔😁

Kat, its so good to see you again! I'm really looking forward to your new uploads💗

"when in doubt, err on the side of comedy" love it XD

I'm wondering if the sisters will have a moment where they return to the tattoo parlor to investigate whether the specific place/artist/ink/etc had anything to do with why Penny is suddenly specifically tied to Charlie through this haunted tattoo. It's enough already to be twins, of the same womb and all, but why the tattoo? What is the tattoo OF? What is the magic involved here? Will we get a flashback of them getting the tattoo? The tattoo lore of it all!

every inspiring writer should see this channel.

I’ve missed you so much!! I’m so happy that you are making videos again

Love your channel Kat! So happy to see you back! I loved watching your bookathons…and the apple cinnamon porridge that you made! Brings back so many memories

I’m so invested at this point 👀

Watching this video really brought me back!! I was 9 when I first started watching you and I'm 20 now with big girl money finally able to buy all the books on your lists. You may have singlehandedly brought me back to reading as a hobby so thank you for that!

I love the sisters' relationship. I wonder if you would consider doing an audio version of the novel similar to The Chosen One's Girlfriend.

I love the updates you made to the plot! Things are falling into place so satisfyingly !

I'm in blurb writing hell for my next series and I just wish I could go back to writing 😂

hope you have a Happy birthday Kat, i made you a coffee before i leave for work, but then remembered i can't send coffee via youtube comments, so i'm dranking it for you to.. obviously it hasn't fully kicked in yet or i might be awake enough to come up with a better joke.... but either way Happy Bday. ☕☕ (and i just realized coffee and coffin start with the same 4 letters, seems appropriate for a coffee drinking vampire)

Kat! Love seeing you around here again! Have you read anything from Robin Hobb? Her Realm of the Elderlings books have become my latest faves. Incredible storytelling and the best character study I've ever read. Seeing as I've enjoyed many of the books in this list I think you might like them!

This video series makes me want to start writing again <3

Enjoyed this more the second time around! I would love for you to work on super hero type comics. buffy style!

Its so hard to explain the escalation of idea to full-fledged plot with subplots, and this series combined with the first is probably the best example on the internet. Just how each choice made helps build the story and world, and just how small but specific choices make integral changes. Like now there's this whole idea of what is true immortality that Penny is going through. Here she is with a fear of death, wanting to live on and yet she HAS died and is currently living on as she tries to possess her project (also super funny 😂). Its a great theme to play with and read about amongst all the other story threads and we can see exactly how your ideas built to that. Making Penny the go-getter and eccentric type was the first step to propelling her on that path.

This is my favorite ongoing writing video series, which is huge given that Brando Sando is actively posting his lectures right now. Cannot wait to read this book in total when (if?? I’m manifesting) you put it out into the world ♥️

I would love to see some anime content from you!!

This video was great! Also, I loved the vampire plot twist in Chosen One’s Girlfriend!

I love seeing you act the dialogue 😅 do you do that often while writing or it's for the ✨✨camera✨✨ only?

Katytastic AND Brandon Sanderson drop a writing lecture video on the same day? We're feasting!

You would love tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow

Is that Scrivner? Great job by the way.

you introduced me to carry on years ago and for that i will ALWAYS and i mean always be grateful

OMG KATS BACK😱😱😱😱

Ha! I am also a Chaotic Katy! Love that you shelve by color. 😂 I tried to talk my library manager into doing that years ago. It was a no. 😢

Missed u, girl!!! Now I can go out and buy some YA based on your recommendations!!!!

I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on manga =^_^=

I read This is How You Lose the Time War because of you! You were the first person that I ever saw talk about it, and I read it almost immediately after your video ❤

When I read This Is How You Lose The Time War I tagged you in my tweet about it because you were the only person I could think of who'd read it 😆

I've been trying for months to brainstorm for my novel. I'm at the midpoint, and I know what to write, but I struggle with getting the words on paper. But after watching this video, I had a brainstorm for another project I've been struggling with. Thanks, Kat!

KAT!!! You need to read Sabaa Tahir’s contemporary novel All My Rage. The best book I’ve ever read possibly. She can do no wrong!!

The way you talk about books, the passion, the excitement, it makes you wanna pick up one right now!

So happy to see that you're back! 😭

Ice Adolescence being canceled was truely heart breaking.

i feel like you would love gideon the ninth

i love a lot of your picks!!! i recommend that you give A Conjuring of Ravens by Azalea Ellis a try!! i started the series on a whim and it really took over my life for a couple weeks last year! i find it criminal that no one seems to have heard of them (less than a thousand ratings on goodreads!)
