Book Release Day Vlog...something always goes wrong // The Anti-Relationship Year

[@dedasab]

You have all right to celebrate your milestones, you worked hard for months, so enjoy the moment. What you are doing by buying stuff for release day is pretty normal in my opinion. How sad would life be if we didn't appreciate our successful work. Also, publishing a book is not a simple thing, it is a huge achievement. You go girl💪.

[@andreaguess9718]

Congratulations. Never apologize for celebrating anything in life. Life should be a celebration.

[@daniellecastaneda4423]

No one in my real life cares in the slightest that I write and have a dream to make that my main job. This is encouraging me to create my own little space on the internet. I'm so excited for you and have been enjoying these videos that you created to celebrate release week. Congrats!

[@therealannataylor]

Congratulations! (I hope to be this extra when I finally publish 😂)

[@Katesbookdate]

Thank you!

[@Booksandothernerdthings]

If I ever write a book I’m throwing a whole ass party so I don’t think you’re extra at all. Congrats! I pre ordered and will read it sometime this month 😊

[@RinRin-ge7bq]

Katie I'm so happy for you!!!!!! I'm going to sit down tonight and start reading TARY :) I'm so excited to see Jo's journey and development! You've been an inspiration for me and I just want to say you deserve every ounce of happiness and celebration!!

[@Katesbookdate]

Thank you so much!

[@kelleyiswriting]

Releasing a book into the public SHOULD be celebrated and IS a big deal. If the people in my life really care about me, I hope they'd care about the things I care about too - like all the time and investment I spent in in writing, revising, editing, the whole publishing process. It's not an easy task heh but ya congratulations I'm so happy for you :) I grabbed your book on Amazon yesterday! It's on my giant list of books to read. Thanks for sharing your journey with us :) Your vlogs have inspired me to make my own writing vlogs and I'd love to be in your position of releasing a book one day.

[@Katesbookdate]

Thanks so much for grabbing a copy! Can't wait to see your book come out one day!

[@emmaberger3748]

It’s still insane to me that you’ve already published FOUR BOOKS!!! In the time that I’ve been subscribed to you!!! Amazing!! You deserve the celebration :). I listened to the playlist yesterday also to get me in the mood for release day! And Taylor swift because it felt right haha

[@Katesbookdate]

Taylor Swift is always a good idea

[@peasalexandrowicz790]

@@Katesbookdate that's literally my moto omg

[@kpholst]

It’s so empowering to see you celebrate! It is a big deal. I definitely clicked my glass against my phone when you said cheers 🤣

[@britneynicole8903]

So, I checked my B & N account this evening and they said that my copy of TARY will be arriving on Friday! I am so excited to read it! WOO HOO!

[@ACuppaBookswithAriel]

Congratulations on your release! And yes, always buy yourself the flowers.

[@accountforwastingtime]

Happy book release day!!! I'm so happy you treated yourself, you absolutely deserve to celebrate your hard work and success! Cars can be mean like that and always break down at inconvenient times but, on the bright side it's always nice when it breaks down at home and doesn't leave you stranded in the snow somewhere. Hope you had a great release day and have taken some time to enjoy a great achievement!! People celebrate work achievements all the time and buy themselves food, wine, and gifts, for things as small as closing a sale, getting a new client, getting through a big conference, meeting, or even just a really rough day or week. You 100000% deserve celebrating for publishing a book!

[@Rachinajar]

Eee congrats! And I second the buying yourself things as a celebration! Why not? 😁😁

[@ilincastanciu2961]

I like how she just addmits sooooo chill that she is drunk... I just love her so much

[@lovelather9012]

Girl if I could drink champagne and eat your wonky cake with you I would lol. CONGRATULATIONS!! It is so so so fun watching your journey through all your work. It’s a great accomplishment and you should be proud!! I don’t even know you and I’m just so dang proud of you LOL!!

[@k.c.lannon8563]

Congratulations on the book release! I loved watching this and feeling like I was celebrating with you. Writing and publishing can feel so isolated sometimes. I gotta start celebrating my own book releases like this!

[@marielbellan]

Congratulations!!! 🥂 💐 Im so glad you celebrate your work because you damn deserve it! Most people (around us) truly don’t understand the process because they are not involved in it but we understand your accomplishment!! Congrats!

[@jennypetersen5771]

I've been in SUCH a reading slump. TARY came out in just in time to get me out of it. Thank you!! 😁 Congratulations!

[@Katesbookdate]

Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy it🥰

[@britneynicole8903]

Girl, substituting mashed banana for egg while baking a cake is a brilliant idea. When I bake again, I will try that! It looks so good!

[@angelasbookery7422]

Reading now and loving every second!

[@jl43]

Girl do I have the gadget for you! Look into a jump start battery pack! It’s like full proof you can’t mess up jumping the battery off and it’ll charge your phone and electronics too like if your power went out. I got SO tired of my battery dying bc my luck is just yucky junky. My copy of my book is out for delivery from Amazon and it’s SOOO rainy today and I’m getting over some chest congestion and literally pulling a muscle from coughing lol😅so I’m STOKED my book will be here to keep my company.

[@helsphoenix2623]

Congratulations!

[@MonicaReentsArt]

[@michellehernandez8442]

I just wanted to say that I read the sample of your ebook and it was really good! I'm putting it on my wishlist for my birthday! I'm so happy for you. I've been watching your videos for a long time.

[@amandaconaway9675]

I'm a little late to this vlog. But all your release week content got me excited and I actually just bought TAVP, TARY, and your 2nd poem collection! Read them all already!!!! Loved them so much, especially TARY. I was also listening to your playlists while I was reading and that was just a great fricken time! Love you, your books, and your channel!

[@Katesbookdate]

Thank you so much for reading! And glad you liked the playlists too haha they make all the difference for me ❤️

[@jodiethewriter]

Congratulations on release day Katie!! I ordered my copies of TAVP and TARY on Amazon yesterday and I'm sad because they won't get here until Friday when I'm dog-sitting for a client, so I won't be at home to receive them. But you can rest assured that I know what I'll be doing on Easter Monday when I get home!!

[@Katesbookdate]

Thank you so much for grabbing copies!

[@krazyxexlem_6682]

Good for you ..I’m gunna go check it out …love the cover

[@milomazli]

Cheers Katie! I fully relate to people not getting the BIG DAYS, the reveals, the publishing days...etc. I sooooo relate. but you know what? WE KNOW. We appreciate and we celebrate with you!! ps.I love the honesty in this vlog "Hi! its many hours later... Im drunk" :DDDD

[@rachaelgudgel8074]

Congratulations!🎉🥳🍷🍹🍸 You are awesome! You should celebrate!!

[@olivegranola]

this is incredible! so happy for you, you've earned all the flowers and champagne flutes! its important to celebrate achievements even if others don't

[@N_Garamond]

I was actually worried you weren't going to celebrate your pub day as much as was warranted. I think you did well and it's a huge deal.

[@amulango1995]

Congratulations! I’ve been subscribed to you for about half a year! So nice to see you accomplishing your goals!

[@Katesbookdate]

Thank you so much!!

[@MsShabriaGxo]

Congratulations! I’m definitely gonna be super extra when I finally published 😂🥳

[@jordanobrien8915]

It doesn't seem extra💕😄 congratulations!!

[@craftblend]

Congrats on the new book! Yayayay!

[@Katesbookdate]

Thank you!!

[@jazmingalloway3172]

Me wondering if I should snatch up one of those openings...hmm...Nah let me be nice, I will take a slot for next year lol. But I am ready to read TARY! I got a preorder but I want to finish my current WIP beforehand so it doesn't influence my writing voice. Congratulations!

[@ivad.1341]

Hello, I see your video for the first time and I just clicked to Follow :) You seem to be so nice. I'm celebrating today the similar way like you, because I just finished all my books (I wrote and sew a few custom hardcover books for my family and friends) and I think that was a lot of hard work that needs to be celebrated. Thank you for this video :)

[@iamhumanbeing3]

hey yaa!!!!! i love loveed your vlog!!! ya so prettty!! may your future be bright!

[@ixis3094]

[@Katesbookdate]

[@MorganLindsay96]

Congratulations! I’m so excited for you! ❤️ what’s the news on TAVP audiobook?

[@Katesbookdate]

it's done! It's just pending audio review from acx now. Hopefully it'll be out some time in April!

[@authorEE_ESE]

I think the only person who really supports my writing is my sister, and she was the one who got me interested in writing in the first place. But even she doesn't give the full reaction I hope for. So, I agree. #TreatYoself xD I don't have an oven, so I wouldn't be able to make a cake, but I would definitely get myself something for celebration.

[@shanshangalan8074]

Bought auto book and the kindle and I love it she should write one letting us know if they are still together

[@JessLuvnNicky]

Congrats! 🎉🎉🎉

[@Katesbookdate]

thank you!

[@mayalemaire]

I loved how you treated yourself for your release day! I will have to plan something like that for mine. Did you end up getting your car fixed/boosted?

[@Katesbookdate]

Haha yes! All fixed now!

[@jlslipak1483]

hydrate!

[@harleymaze8372]

Please more Jo and Miller ❤️

[@shanshangalan8074]

Are you going to do a live stream for the book

[@peasalexandrowicz790]

AHHHH CONGRATU-FUCKING-LATIONS RELEASE I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!

[@Katesbookdate]

Thank you!!🥰🥳

[@dedasab]

Congratulations for the release day 🥳🥳. I have a question concerning the Marionettes though, is it a series or a serial. Does the first book end with a cliffhanger?

[@Katesbookdate]

It's a series! The first book does end with a cliffhanger - at least this current draft does haha

[@SophiaDemas]

Congratulations on your book release--mine was released last month and you are mirroring my excitement! NOTHING that goes wrong can ruin your book launch party (check out my "10 steps to the best book launch party ever!")

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Snow on March 30th!?!? ☹️

[@britneynicole8903]

Early!
