I live for these vlogs

Aesthetic! But the sticker is still on the bottom lol I can never get those dang stickers off

If you've seen/read Handmaid's Tale you'll notice a lot of the dark details are nods to that(noncon, some of the mutilations, etc.). I think having seen Handmaid's Tale I was also given hope during Manacled that someone who hasn't seen HmT may not have. The set up is very dark and makes you think there's no way out, reinforces that thought multiple times and that lends to the intensity of relief you get when escape is successful. The level at which you're rooting for the enslaved to be free is pushed to peak intensity through the intensity of the dark elements. So in that sense, I think they do serve a purpose. I really recommend anyone going into reading Manacled first give Handmaid's Tale a try. In my opinion, Handmaid's Tale is actually much more desolate, so if you can get through that to see the light at the end, you can get through Manacled. I think the noncon scene that ultimately made you(the KZbinr) quit was the last one in the book. Shortly after that you go into the flashbacks which make up half of the book and are followed by a return to the present, leading up to the resolution. I also almost quit reading it at only like 6 pages because i was worried certain elements would be too prevalent. There are some scenes that legitimately F*d me up. But the intensity of the book, the tension and the relief given intermittently, especially during the flashback chapters, made it worth it for me. The way out of the enslaved, or 'manacled', situation was genuinely the most thrilling and unique thing I've ever read. Ps. In case anyone was wondering, actual sex scenes overshadow and outnumber the noncon scenes.

I also have had continuous acne (mine was hormonal) and frankincense oil bf moisturizer (or mixed into moisturizer) at night has totally gotten rid of it. Highly recommend. I do not sell them so this is not an ad 😂

Having a sad emotions day and thinking "Katie will destract me" and finding this video 👌❤️

Gyo-za not goyza XD But good for you for trying different things! You did a great job on the bangs. I'm too nervous to try.

That headband is giving Mean Girls “I’m a mouse, duh!” 😂

my fave youtuber!

I watched Gilmore Girls for the first time when I was knitting a sweater ... you should do that with your crocheted blanket!!

Hi!!! Do you still have your book club? I can’t find the link to it?

Thursday Murder Club is so cute!! The Secret History & If We Were Villains are practically the same book lol. It’s an unpopular opinion but I actually liked IWWV better 🙊

GIRL! Missed you so much. I am speaking life and joy into your birthday month! Celebrate all month long 🎉

Love these videos. I’m wanting to do something similar with my months. The notion board looks awesome. Thanks for sharing! Also the flowers were so beautiful!

I LITERALLY GASPED… You absolutely have to watch Gilmore girls!!

Oh I like the monthly notion boards. Having the bucket list with the vibes. I need to try it out.

Happy birthday Kaitie!! 🎉

the best KZbin channel

love

I opened this video by surprise and the first thing i saw was 11 : 11 on your wall and I truly loved your vibe so glad I found this channel 💗

I think people who have very polorized or black and white thinking will have a very hard time to redeem Draco in their own head. It important to remember that the whole world of Manacled is set in a very very dark world. Nobody is innocent. Everyone does dark things for the sake of survival. I don't think it was Senlinyu's intention to fully redeem Draco's actions. I think for me atleast it's a beautiful way of depicting the complexities of people and of life and how nothing is straight forward. I hope I'm making sense 🤣🤣 I know that dark fanfic is not for everyone so I can understand why some people DNF it.

THERE'S ONE IN GLENDALE!? I only knew of the one from Downtown PHX and Tempe! I'm baffled

Ive been ignoring good reads reviews, and sitting down to read the first chapter of all the books im interested in. Lol that improves my overall reading experience

well thats half an hour wasted, why didn’t you write that you didn’t even finish it beforehand ?😭

Have you picked up The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson? THAT is a chunky book! Katieisreading loves Brando Sando and I want to be that girl who can hang with the heavy series but I fear I'm too dumb to hang. or it's too YA. Speaking of YA, I love me some YA and Middle Grade. The stakes are high and the plots are unique. Books that are spooky but not necessarily for Halloween: Bless Your Heart, September House, The Rosewood Hunt, The Reappearance of Rachel Price, The Shepard King duology, Spirit Hunters (about 4 books), Small Spaces (4 books as well), I just read How to become the Dark Lord and Die Trying, and my recent 6 star read is The Love of My Afterlife. Summer Romance was cute, The Bridge Kingdom. I don't keep books I'm not willing to read again and I do buy books I loved listening to and want the physical copy of it, my recent buys were The Love of my afterlife and Done and Dusted.

I love this!!! I agree!!! Intention is everything!! This helped me streamline my own rating

I LOVED Assistant to the Villian. It was hilarious.

I kind of like the best friend as a rubber duck.

Loved this🫶 and went follow ur goodreads☺️

Okay wait this made me laugh so hard and now I'm going to read these!! Wasn't sure if this series was terrible or cutie, so glad to hear it's mostly cutie

its strange because i also was like 'how does bro come back from this' cause there was literally like 70 chapters left and i was like how does bro come back from the ATROCITIES hes committed and even though i read the whole thing and did fall in love with their relationship during the flashbacks and it just makes the beginning of the book that much more heartwrenching. but i 100% agree that draco is not a redeemable character in this fanfic even if 'hes being made to do it'

How to become a dark lord or die trying was so funny. I gave it 4 stars. It was a quirky story

the beginning of this video stressed me out

Aussie is a great company! I bought a conditioner that was nearly empty! I got in touch with them and they sent me a $9 off coupon. Love the smell and the way the conditioner works! I know how work can stress one out, def.

we've missed you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so glad I found this page, cause you were so real about what you give out about your personal life and I ALSO LOVE BRANDON SANDERSON AND ALL THINGS BOOKS

Just bought magnolia parks and about to read it!

On Netflix there is a show called the magicians I think it based on that!❤

Absolutely love the cozy bookstore vibes! ✨Felt like I was on a lil friend book trip 🕺
