[@haileycampbell3384]

Not all heroes wear capes, some of them are Katie watching 700 videos to give us the best 2023 booktube recap to ever exist❤️✨

[@floraellesse4440]

THIS IS MY SUPER BOWL

Agreed 💯

[@pandarama816]

THIS!!😆❤

[@kendra-readworthy3861]

Came here to say this!!! This is fantastic!

[@f.b.5398]

Yessss 😂🫶🏼

[@itowilltube]

This! I felt like I needed tickets or like I was let into a Beyonce concert without paying! Like what how did you I get here thank you for the hard work @KatieColson but all booktubers who are so helpful and funny and honest. Ridiculous when these authors decide to scalp our edges ,pull our wigs and stab our hearts

Not the clip of me carrying the chair lmaoooooooooo

[@KatieColson]

Not gonna lie, I was a bit worried about including that cause I didn't want you to hate it. But I didn't think people would really GET how much you helped me without visually showing them what you went through, ha

[@ZoeMikelStites]

"I was supposed to watch 200 videos and ended up watching 715" sounds like the best description of my ADHD I've ever heard

[@_ashleylh]

My husband is currently being assessed for ADHD and my 6 year old son just got diagnosed and I squealed out to them - this is hyperfixation at it finest!

[@Thehennies]

Does Katie have adhd? Wondered why I felt she was kindred!

[@vasseurbeauty]

The work that went into this video oh my goodness 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@KatieColson]

oh wow thank you so much! I really appreciate that 🥺

[@lunaacacia]

Sara carrying her desk chair was the cutest clip I have ever seen

[@KatieColson]

Right?! I thought the same thing!

[@amandalamb2347]

That part touched me as well. These ladies out here touching grass to do the damn thing restored something in my bitter ass, misanthropic soul. Lord....

[@stephaniebookish]

Listen editing, flawless! Commitment, flawless! The collab behind the scenes, flawless! Loved every second 💖🫶🏻 thank you so much for including me, what an honor!

[@KatieColson]

I loved all of your clips. It was honestly hard to cut you out and put other people in. They just didn't do it the same. Ha.

[@ellias]

the dedication to this is insanity!!! ❤‍🔥 the fourth wing praise at the end HAHAHAHA

[@KatieColson]

omg ELLIAS! Thank you so much 🖤🥹 Know that I had you in my Google spreadsheet of people I was so hoping to be able to include. But, alas, you were too unique this year. We love a man defying the consumerism standards 💁🏻‍♀️💋 Also, I cut an entire 2 and a half minute clip of people who put Fourth Wing as their favorite book dissing it for it's terrible writing and bad world building and predictable plot. When I tell you over HALF the people that put it in their favorites had a clip of them roasting it. But I cut it cause I didn't want to be negative. It was hilarious though.

[@gabbyreads]

Ahhhhh, I knew this would be great and I was still surprised by the QUALITY and the EDITING!!! The way you layered so many people saying the book title at the same time was so cool!!! 😍 I’m so freaking proud of you for completing this huge project!!! 🥹👏 I know this video was a lot for you to take on, but your effort really shows and this video is such a masterpiece!!!

[@KatieColson]

🥹💖 aw GABBY! Thank you so much. p.s. watch the very very end of the video. I didn't remember that I said that while filming but I had to leave it in cause it's the TRUTH.

Aw, SYD! Thank you so fking MUCH! I love including you in these videos because you're always so energetic and happy when talking about books. And you always mention something that no one else does somehow. Like with Tress of the Emerald Sea, you and Lexi were the ONLY people who mentioned her being in love with Charlie and the Duke sending him away. Seriously, nobody else even brought it up, haha

first, thank you Katie for this STUNNING video ! but I need to say something about fourth wing since it's the most beloved book, I'm so upset, so sad... I'm questioning the book community about their awareness I feel, most of the time, really safe in this community. But when I see that so many people talk about this book, how it is so good and fun, I'm not feeling safe anymore. We see, hear and read what the problem is with this author. And yet NOBODY says ANYTHING, as if everything was okay. But it is not. Please do your research, be aware of which author you decide to support and be aware of what THEY stand up for.

I am in awe of the amount of work you put into this video!!!! It turned out so amazing 🏆🏆

AH! Riley! Thank you so fking MUCH! I wished I could've put you in this years video. But, I'll say what I said to Gavin and Kayla - you're just too unique for this consumeristic concept, haha

Riley it’s a good job you weren’t in the video too cause I would have put you front and centre on the thumbnail and Katie wouldn’t have been anywhere on it
