[@kattnisseverdeen8029]

The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo is such a good book! One of my favs!!

[@dianak.5412]

@@kattnisseverdeen8029loved it too and the invisible life of addie larue!

[@Kittyzero13426]

@@dianak.5412 Slowly working on that one at the moment.

[@TheLazyDaze]

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is soooooo good

[@melodyk508]

I think you're really going to love Circe. Don't think of it as a Greek mythology retelling, I know it can feel like a daunting task. Think of it as a fantasy. That's what it was actually. Magical world with beautiful writing. For me, this is the year I finally read Tolkien. I've put it off for so long even though I'm damn sure I'm gonna love it... Haha

[@pngn69]

I read Circe last year and I couldn't get into it. It was fine, I didn't hate it, but I also wasn't totally in love with it and I'm sad about that :( I think it may have been my mood, so I'm going to try to reread it again this year

[@melodyk508]

@pngn69 you can try the audiobook if you haven't already. And of course, not everyone will have the same opinion on every book, so it's okay if you didn't like it. I personally love reading Greek Mythology stuff because of my Percy Jackson obsession, so Circe was a great book for me. On the other hand, I didn't like Ariadne or The Penelopiad, for various different reasons pertaining to flatness of the story telling and other things. So, there's really no book that's gonna be loved by everyone... Haha.. don't worry about other's opinions.

[@katieisreading]

i really think i'm going to like circe as well, but you're right, thinking of it as a greek retelling is a bit daunting so i think i'll take your advice on that!! also i really hope you enjoy tolkien! i read the hobbit and lotr a few years ago and really enjoyed them, it's so fun to see some of the inspiration behind the genre :)

[@themodernbookwoman]

I tried Circe in 2021 and again in 2022 and both times, I couldn't get into it. THEN I picked it up again in 2023 and absolutely LOVED it. I've heard multiple people say they dnf it or couldn't get into it but I think it's phenomenal. Just don't read it unless you're in the mood for it. And I will say it feels overwhelming in the first few chapters but stick with it. It gets better and I'll eventually click!

[@pngn69]

I have heard nothing but RAVES of that book. I read it last year and it just didn't feel like it was for me at all. But my hypothesis was that it was my mood. So I am going to attempt to reread it this year and see if my feelings changed.

[@jasminewhelan]

Love all these tbr books and want to read them as well! 😁🙌🏻

[@jaja231]

You also have Evocation by S.T. Gibson in may!

[@holly2585]

I ADORE the Skyward series, I need to read the last book in the series but I've really loved it. I want to get into the cosmere and have read some but I'm so overwhelmed haha

[@jasminewhelan]

I feel the same way about the shades of magic trilogy! I barely remember it cause it was a long time ago but I absolutely loved it and have been contemplating a reread before the fragile threads of power

[@liliancoy5341]

I am shooketh that you haven’t seen the princess bride before! It is definitely right up you alley and I highly recommend it!

[@beautifulmama862]

I'm still thinking on the books I want to read this year since I'm a mood reader but im gonna do month by month instead of yearly just so I don't overwhelm myself

[@CathysEnchantedReads]

omg your cat is so cute! 😍 I personally was dissapointed by Royal Assassin; as much as I enjoyed book 1, book 2 was just going nowhere for me. I DNF'd it at around 10-20% in. I want to start re-reading Daughter of smoke and bone, I read them when I was way younger and remember loving it. The second book in the Emily WIlde series is very similar to the first one, I liked it a lot, but didn't love it as much as the first one. And there will at least be a book 3, yay!

[@cassandralynnreads]

I'm so excited for the both of us to tackle the rest of the Cosmere this year!

[@angiebaebii]

You’re so pretty every time I watch one of your videos I just wonder how someone can be so pretty, you look like a literal fairy 😍😭

[@lozxcam]

My most anticipated books are also Emily Wildes, A Grave Robbery and Witches guide to Magical Inkeeping!!! I am also super excited for the next M.K. Lobb book ‘Disciples of Chaos’ I read ‘Seven Faceless Saints’ last month and am really intrigued with how it will continue. Plus I absolutely froth the cover of those books 😂😂

[@user-xc1712r]

The way She talcks… Is just❤

[@kerstinreads]

Circe has also been on my tbr for what feels like forever. 🙈

[@shelleytaylor1778]

Circe is so good and I flew through it! Emily Wilde is on my January TBR and I also plan to read the Shades of Magic series because I loved Addie LaRue and want more VE Schwab!

[@ashymomo24]

Please make a video about all the books you’ve read!! Will love to hear input about those ❤

[@MLLatUtube]

I am also looking forward to A Witch's Guide to Innkeeping and to Map of the Otherlands. I need to get brave and tackle Brandon Sanderson. I have only read his middle grade series, which I did love.

[@ReaderandWriter.]

Katie posts, my eye balls have been blessed. You're doing great, girl!

[@crystaIz]

I've been studying all day & seeing this video made my day, so thank you katie🥲💚

[@booksandteas]

my tbr for 2024 are heir of fire and the rest of tog books, night circus, powerless, fourth wing, ruthless vows, once upon a broken heart, emily wilde's encyclopaedia of fairies, stalking jack the ripper, maybe veronica speedwell series? you made it sound so good for these past months and i'm always curious. and maybe ve schwab's trilogy? its been on my tbr for so long now. anyway, happy reading katie 📚🍿

[@katieisreading]

ah you have so many good books on your tbr!! highly recommend the veronica speedwell series, it's so much fun! happy reading to you as well :)

[@amandanovoa8768]

yes! i love seeing ur tbrs 🙈 ur making me so excited to continue the veronica speedwell series. ive only read the first but enjoyed it sm

[@victoriahinton9869]

Tress was my first book of 2024 and I LOVED it!! It was fun, witty, and so well written. I’m definitely buying the kick starter edition too because it’s beautiful and absolutely worth the money🤗

[@katieisreading]

i'm so happy to hear you loved it!! i'm unbelievably excited to get to it, it sounds like something i will love

[@oklahomaread4477]

Assuming it doesn't get pushed back a third time, I'm most excited for Silverborn, the 4th book in the NeverMoor series by Jessica Townsend. I binge-read the first three books at the beginning of 2022 assuming the 4th book was going to come out in the fall. But then it got pushed back to 2023, then 2024. Of all the book series dubbed the next Harry Potter, this one truly fits the bill and is quite possibly even better. Those books reignited my love for middle grade. I never got caught up on the Stormlight books, either. I read the first two and a quarter of the third before putting them down. I have a friend who just started reading them, so we're sort of doing a buddy read in preparation for book 5 in December.

[@konstantina_xrst]

Katie if you're inderested in greek mythoology retailings please read any book by Jennifer Saint! Her writing is amazing and so are her stories. She stays true to the myth but adds so much more to it. I'm obsessed with her!

[@katieisreading]

definitely will be checking her out after i read circe!! thank you so much for the recommendation!!

[@seochangbinsarms]

5:01 I’m so excited to get to this book omg

[@ChildofFrog]

Best way to start my school week 🫶🏼

[@carlaruizzz]

Hi Katie! Loved the video as always!! I’m not sure if you know, but Ali Hazelwood is also publishing her debut fantasy novel “Bride” this year! (If what I’ve heard is right) You might as well want to read that one ;) And also if you want to continue with the Empyrean series by Rebecca Yarros, I think the third book is coming out in December! Many more new releases are coming but these are the ones that came to my mind first :) Wish you lots of love and good reads in 2024 💗

[@ReadingNymph]

I am 100% starting the Veronica Speedwell series this year! So excited for so many of these ❤

[@katieisreading]

i feel like you will really enjoy the veronica speedwell series!! can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!

[@jamiejames5224]

I don't think I've ever been more excited about a release as I am for Emily Wilde 2. I just know I'm gonna love it

[@chocolateoreo6489]

I’m sending you love and a great 2024❤❤❤

[@mikyl99]

My tbr is quite big honestly. But my main ones are all series : A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, Once Upon a Broken Heart, Skyward, and re-read I am Number Four which i was obsessed with as a teen! I also really want to read Anne of Green Gables and make it past the 3rd book!

[@gcskinner]

The Skyward series is sooo good! Apparently some people don’t like the third book (Cytonic) as much because of how different the setting is, but I loved it. I just have the last one to read (and the novellas are great too)!

[@MariasNook]

Aahhh oh my gosh I hope you will enjoy The Fragile Threads of Power! I picked up the Shades of Magic series in 2022 because you recommended it to me and it's been one of my all-time favourite book series ever since. TFToP felt a little like coming home to a world I've never been to and characters I've never met. I loved every second of it and I really hope you will too!

[@safaarif878]

Good luck on reading your tbr KAtie! I'm excited for you

[@shelfindulgencedes]

I'm so excited to see someone else reading the Lady Trent series! I read them all a few years ago, and I haven't seen anyone else talking about them. I look forward to hearing what you think about the next book.

[@katieisreading]

i also don't see a lot of people talking about it either but it's so fun!! so glad to see you also enjoy it!!🫶🏻

[@missy_naneylove3457]

I just finish The Ashes and The Star Cursed King and on to Ruthless Vows. I have several series I wanna get into. Like Shatter Me series, some Brandon Sanderson series, Funny Story by Emily Henry, HOFAS by Sarah J Maas. Yes quite a lot. Trick to enjoy reading longer book is to read them in ereader so you don't feel the book is big and long. Thats what I did when reading big long books.

[@astoldbykat]

I definitely want to continue reading the Invisible Library series by Genevieve Cogman; started it last year and so far I love it. I also want to catch up on the Wayward Children series by Seanan Mcguire. For new releases, of course the new Emily Wilde (give me more Gargoyle professor and self-centered fae), but probably I'm most excited for the sequel to "Iron Widow," which is "Heavenly Tyrant." It comes out in June, and I NEED to know what happens in it. "Iron Widow" was my #1 book of 2023, so of course I have to read the next one.

[@AJennWhoReads]

We have a lot of the same reading goals for 2024. Can't wait to see your content throughout the year!

[@Star_drifter]

Fragile threads of power is good at reminding you about the other books where you need it 😊

[@katieisreading]

good to know!!

[@livyf.6516]

I can't believe you haven't seen the princess bride... I think you would really enjoy it

[@DimitrisChrrr]

RHYTHM OF WAR YES KATIE

[@Tay-Tay12]

I am most excited to read The Stolen Heir and The prisoner’s Throne by Holly black, Empire of the Damned by Jay Kristoff and Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Ziven 😍

[@freckledlife]

Some of the books on my 2024 TBR are - Kingdom of Ash and the Crescent City series, Empire of the Vampire, Circe, The Hunger of the Gods, The Priory of the Orange Tree, Babel, and A Game of Thrones!

[@illinkamaniuc4570]

You're not the only one intimidated by large books, currently ready A game of thrones after putting it off for a while

[@amandanovoa8768]

i have so many books i want to read, but a few i definitely want to read are ‘the night circus’, ‘a starless sea’ ( after seeing how much u love them so much!) ‘reckless’ by lauren roberts (SO EXCITED OMG), ‘taming 7’ by chloe walsh, and ‘emily wilde’s encyclopedia of faeries’ ( i recently got it & ur love for it makes me even more excited to read it )🖤🗣️

[@ScrappingDiva]

I absolutely love your top.

[@shayleecarter30]

I can’t wait for you to read Circe! also I’d love you see a new release reading vlog from you sometime soon! im sooo excited for a fragile enchantment & a fate inked in blood

[@Natecchi]

I personally am excited for Ava Reid's new release, since I loved two of her other books. Then Leigh Bardugo's new release as well as some other sequels I'm waiting for :3 (House of the dead duology's 2nd book amongst the pile). Hope we all have a great reading year with lots of books to love!

[@user-b4r5v]

Im sure you get asked this all the time but where is all of your jewellery from? I love those earrings 😻

[@Kendall.Watson]

obsessed with how you talk

[@bujobyfilo]

Love your enthusiasm and literary taste! I'm hoping to read Emily Wilde, A darker shade of magic and Tress of the emerald sea this year, and you made me add Veronica Speedwell to my radar 😊 It sounds similar to Half a soul that I enjoyed so much By the way, Ten thousand stitches, the 2nd in the Regency faery tales series after Half a soul is also really good, seeing how much you loved Half a soul I'm sure you'll love it too!

[@PossessedbyKaitlyn]

I have sooo many books I really wanna read but these are the ones I’m most excited to pick up!! - Emily Wildes Encyclopedia of Faeries - Mistborn - Ruthless Vows - Chain of Gold - Powerless - Mislaid in Parts Half Known - An Education in Malice I also really want to reread a ton of books this year. I have a tendency to put off rereads because I always think there’s other new things I can be reading but I have so many older favorites that I just really want to get to. Like Strange the Dreamer, Six of Crows, Shades of Magic series, Nevernight. etc. 🫶🏻✨

[@janet5123]

Noticed that House of Flame and Shadow is not on your list 😂. I’m rereading HOSAB and it’s taking me TWICE as long as it did the first time. I’m starting Liveship Traders series this year too. If I am thoroughly bowled over I’ll probably read more of Robin Hobb. I just don’t want to be depressed by or exasperated with Fitz as I’ve heard those reactions from some.

[@janina5442]

just found your channel and I really love it! It´s so cozy to watch. have a huge tbr. I want to finish Throne of Glass and read ACOTAR. Greetings from Germany.:)

[@pngn69]

Last year i read les mis and i didnt enjoy it 😂😂😂 but i am going yo tey to read longer books this year! I have been reading a lot of rom coms and thrillers and theyre usually very shoet so thats why I end up woth a high number of books read.

[@TheLazyDaze]

Gosh I’m SO stoked for the next Emily Wilde book!! I’m also REALLY excited for The Prisoner’s Throne. It can’t come fast enough 😭 As for books already out…..I just got the caraval series so I’m gonna be reading that and then I’m hoping to get to the once upon a broken heart series this year too. We’ll see what else I get to though XD

[@crystaIz]

idk if you already read it but i can recommend the red rising series (i only read the trilogy though) by pierce brown!! it was my first scifi book & it was sooo good

[@endlesspageturner]

My goal is to start the stormlight archive in 2024, cause they have been on my shelf staring at me for way to long!

[@brittanyreadsherbooks]

I preordered to Emily Wilde from Waterstones and it arrived last month! I have no idea why but I’m thankful! I’m halfway through it now and am enjoying it 😊 where did you say you got your edition of Tress from? I’ve been wanting to read it and have been eyeing that copy!

[@DebraGail]

I loved the Dowery of Blood and I recently read an arc of An Education in Malice. I thought the Education was even better than Dowery! I plan on buying it when it comes out.

[@katielockhart7232]

I just read the first book of the liveship traders by Robin Hobb and it was so so good I really I just want to finish that series before I think about reading other books lol

[@advocateriddhimalik]

How do you mention 'x' amount of books and read 'x + y more'? What is the advice that you'd give me to read faster? Like a book in a day or 8 hours? All the best and Love your work here on youtube!! you are a big inspiration for me!!

[@aza4624]

just a random question but why would you like to read a book in a day ?

[@advocateriddhimalik]

Faster reading = more books to be finished in a year. It helps with me being a lawyer who needs to proof read and read a lot of information and retain the information. Planning to do a PhD. That's why.@@aza4624

[@dianak.5412]

You get faster as soon as you read more.

[@jupiter4334]

Loved the video🤍 Also, for anyone who wants to read Threads of Power and wants a refresher on the original series without having to reread it, VE Schwab has recap videos on her KZbin channel, I really recommend watching them!✨ Some of the books in my 2024 tbr are Sword Catcher, The ballad of songbirds and snakes, The priory of the orange tree and The fragile threads of power.

[@allie4435]

I’m 300 pgs into oathbringer & I also really want to finish both books before the 5th one comes out 😅 happy reading Katie! P.S the princess bride is one of my fav movies, I think you would love it! Also Labyrinth (w David Bowie) if you haven’t seen that yet, either! 💕
