"A world missing someone who was once your world" You have such a way with words I cannot wait for Book

[@AlysonMc]

Girl, I see you with those pink-purple-blue nails and eye shadow. The Bi-Fi is strong with this one.

[@Dani-ww4dy]

Girl....this colour scheme....we see you & support you 🌈

[@lavender_evie]

💗💜💙

[@flora22511]

I'm getting all the Lovers vibes from your background 😜

[@BrittanytheBibliophile]

Your background is everything and I am MAD IMPRESSED that you've read most of the books you hauled!!! Teach us your ways!!!

[@edeedeeward]

Are... Are those BISEXUAL eyes and nails? Ugghhh sis came thru, ICONIC

[@lavender_evie]

Wherever she sits sexuality wise she does show off wlw books which is truly needed.

[@JamesLawner]

Lover ain't even out yet and you're already emulating it. Nice 👌🏻

[@randomreader]

I usually don’t tend to watch hauls, but I just really find yours so entertaining and the way you explain books is so thorough

[@Katytastic]

thank you, i'm glad you enjoy!

[@booknerdwithlipstick]

So many books, but also, so many READ books ! GOAL GIRL 💅

[@kristaliaastari2856]

Thank you so much for saying which books are standalone and which are not because that is the question I am always asking.

[@beepboop9976]

When you talked about The Kingdom, the glare from the camera turned the eyes on the girl white and it seemed really fitting considering what the book is about 😂

[@LaHormiguitaLectora]

I loved this video and I love you ❤ I wish you did another video about your book, though, about how your draft is going.

[@preserumcoco]

your entire aesthetic is that of Lover atm and I am LIVING for it

[@cozymonica]

cannot wait to hear what you think about gideon!! and romanovs! and also i love this background 💕

[@authorgkray]

I just bought Red, White, & Royal Blue the other day... I'm so excited to get into it!!

[@alexandraroselyn]

I didn't know you studied Shakespeare?!?! I'm so jealous I've always wanted to omg!!!!!! THIS IS THE COOLEST THING EVER!

[@lilibaranyi5790]

Katy: *mentioning that there is maybe an ace spectrum character in The Princess and the Fangirl* Me: 👀

[@bjorkbjork1925]

Did you match your makeup with the background? Because I'm loving it.

[@summerbellino]

If you’re looking for a lesbian romance, I’ve recently finished Tell Me How You Really Feel. It’s an enemies-to-lovers type story. Very cute!!

[@Katytastic]

ooh yeah, i've been wanting to read that! i'll have to buy it the next time i go book shopping!

[@summerbellino]

Katytastic Hope you enjoy it if you get it!

[@annacselotei8262]

I... I need... Cooking with Kat 😭😭

[@livmilesparanormalromanceb6891]

Me too! I'm never going to read these books, sorry. I'd rather watch Kat swear and fling salami at a wall or something.

[@tashalovesscooby]

It’s kinda crappy to comment on a video she must have spent hours filming, editing, and uploading only to say idc about all the hard work you put into this. Give me something else. I feel like she’s already said she doesn’t have a desire to film those videos at this time.

[@annacselotei8262]

@@tashalovesscooby I never meant to say that I don't care about this video. I watched it and liked it, and whatever Kat comes up with in the future, I will continue to watch and like because I think she is an amazing person and youtuber who deserves it. :) I just wanted to express how I miss Cooking with Kat these days, because that series always made me laugh, and love Kat even more. I admit I didn't do it in the most sophisticated way, and Kat, if you're reading this by any chance, I'm sorry and keep on the good work!

[@kirafish2592]

I love living through your videos. Your bookhauls and other content are life. ♡

[@JustJay]

Fully convinced I need to read Romanov.

[@yousuzers565]

makeup is ON POINT with your background omg

[@kevinkelly_]

The title is a mood 😂 I wanna read I Wish You All The Best and Red White and Royal Blue so badly!!! I need them now 😭

[@Katytastic]

omg you're gonna love them when you get to them!!

[@aephiinguyen]

That background is so heavenly!!!

[@laurenm2111]

I'm totally with you on the villain love interests....they are always fun to read!!

[@Elizabeth-rg4wi]

I don’t want to wait until September for Gideon and the ninth lol it sounds amazing!

[@lizbrowning1241]

I 100% agree with you about "Her Royal Highness," like I read it after I read "Red, White, and Royal Blue" and I was thoroughly underwhelmed in comparison.

[@westonsbookworld777]

I'm a new Booktuber and I love your channel. You always have the best ways to describe how you feel about a book. Awesome haul!!!

[@Katytastic]

[@bBooksBB]

So many great books to read. This low-key makes me want to go to the bookstore and buy a bunch more books. Hahah...that might actually happen. whoops!

[@betul6350]

i need to know where you got your background from, i cant get over it!

[@shelbyloo28]

Thank you for all the queer book rep! To Best the Boys is 1.99 on kindle right now for everyone interested

[@fortnite_4738]

Thank you!

[@edenaugustine]

All I’m saying is Nora and June stole my heart in like the first chapter of Red, white & royal blue. Nora’s friendship with Alex, and June’s Sarcasm and Nora’s and ughhhh it was amazinggg

[@ifesi4785]

Wicked saints was SO good I cannot wait for book 2 😭

[@IxiaRayne]

Kaaaaaate! I miss u! And your writing blogs! ♥

[@impala2215]

Great haul ! Do you ever think about turning the booksplosion liveshows into podcasts that you could post on spotify ? Like, post the sound of the liveshows as a podcast, for the people who want to listen to it while doing something else :) PS : you rock !

[@beepboop9976]

Impala 221 the live shows are still up on the booksplosion channel, you can listen while doing other things cause you don’t have to pay attention to the video, but I guess you can’t do other things on your phone unless you pay for KZbin premium or unless you play it in a different device. Just thought I’d mention it

[@rabidraviv]

G I D E O N + D E V O U R I N G G R A Y best haul confirmed

[@kisskissluve]

You remind me so much of Alyson Hannigan! You are very interesting to listen to & watch, thanks for ur videos!

[@AnnaItem]

is your background purposefully inspired by Taylor’s new album? either way i’m here for it

[@drewsambitiousreading2752]

I’m on my way home from a long car ride of my camping trip! So thanks for entertaining me and I have a lot of new books to add to my tbr pile!😂😀❤️

[@Katytastic]

haha yay! hope camping was fun XD

[@drewsambitiousreading2752]

Katytastic it was! I just missed my service/wifi 😂

[@patriciapages3839]

You had me at Lesbian Necromancers.

[@emily1celebfan]

When you were describing The Princess and the Fangirl, all I could think about was the Lizzie McGuire Movie 😂😂😂 Edit: also does everyone think that ‘prince of England’ and ‘princess of Scotland’ are real things? 👀 cuz they’re not - the royal family is of Great Britain 😂

[@musichica09]

Rachel Hawkins's book takes place in an alternate reality where Scotland has a royal family

[@jonathanhunter7670]

Ah, the most optimistic Booktuber ever :D

[@TatiTheTinyBookTuber]

Awesome book haul! 😄

[@beepboop9976]

To best the boys is one of my most anticipated books this year. I can’t wait to be able to read it!!

[@sunflower2187]

Your background is so cute! To Best The Boys sounds really interesting I want to read it now!

[@bookedonafeeling]

The Princess and the Fangirl plot reminds me of The Lizzie McGuire movie loooool

[@stephenleong7373]

Is it just me ? Or is the to best the boys sound like Mulan ?

[@palmer.f96]

rw&rb was sooooo good! oh my gosh i just finished it and i absolutely LOVED it so much and i need more 🥺

[@ohsoabby4689]

[@MsLPSFOREVER]

She really does tbh

[@LennyT007]

i f*ckin' luvz this woman. 💪🌞👍

[@nattyreadsalotlumos5715]

Kat it's true wicked saints is equal to a good love villian story. OMG ! READ IT

[@tupinetupi1938]

Why don' t you try to read the Demon cycle by Piter V. Brat? It' s like dark fantasy, and pretty cool.

[@metzmon1]

I just finished "Aurora Rising" and thought it was a very solid read.

[@Inamichan]

metzmon1 yeah! I enjoyed it more than I thought I would!!

[@Katytastic]

good to know, i'm excited to read!

[@SydneyFaithAuthor]

So many awesome looking books!

[@morfire16]

WARNING learn from me and do not listen to the audiobook for Red, White, and Royal Blue while driving. I almost died....totally worth it though. The accents make it so much better:

[@MadHartley]

Please bring back your weekly writing vlogs. i love them so much

[@abigailcarter5345]

I'm getting Skulduggery Pleasant vibes from Gideon the Ninth.

[@EttuBrody]

THE LOVER VIBES IN THIS VIDEO

[@TakeDownTheStreets]

It's been 2 months did she really die???? But Wayward Son isn't out yet!!

[@bts_vinyl]

I felt the exact same way about Her Royal Highness. I liked it but I wanted way more from the ending. There just wasn't enough time in the book spent on them actually being in a relationship because it's so short.

[@TuckerTheReader]

Romanov is soo good. I loved it. Also, How To Make Friends With The Dark will make you sob so bring tissues.

[@Katytastic]

omg i'm so ready for both!!

[@amyjones6848]

How to make friends with the dark is one of my favourite books of 2019! A full 5 stars

[@ohohnenyeoo2654]

Amy Jones good then. I have the book but I haven’t read it yet but I’m starting today.

[@fortnite_4738]

I really want to read Red, White, and Blue but it is marked as erotic fiction on Amazon. Will I be able to read this and skip the super steamy parts?!

[@jenrrr]

This makes me feel better about the amount of books I've bought recently

[@Katytastic]

solidarity!

[@ashleyhansen2135]

do you old books that have I live a group home for special needs let me kown plese

[@jimcowhand1749]

Anyone read "The Devil All the Time"? Netflix acquired the movie rights and Robert Pattinson will star. I might have to pick the book up this week if I hear some good things! 📚📚📚

[@biagoncalves99]

alright i'm comfortably seated with food. LET'S GO (ʟᴇsʙɪᴀɴs) LET'S GO

[@alannasama777]

Anybody else notice that she didn’t put June’s Booksplosion Book of the Month in here, of which I’m pretty sure she has?

[@kaylahdavisofficial]

Why does the title of the video relate to me so much?

[@danieldoesgaming5899]

Yay no dislikes

[@shreyasgham3632]

8:28. OK, OK!! I'll read it woman. Stop pushing it on me. GOD, Booktubers :P

[@brunaborges9149]

Who are the reviewers you go to for queer book recommendations? I need more of those

[@Katytastic]

for go-to booktubers: cece (problems of a book nerd), melanie (meltotheany), rhiannon (crescent moon reads), spencer (common spence), tiernan (the booktuber), lexi (alexandra roselyn), riley (riley marie). i also follow a lot of authors on twitter who shout out queer books, like mason deaver, rosiee thor, rory power, nina varela, casey mcquiston, and a ton more i’m probably forgetting right now, but that’s a start! XD

[@MsLPSFOREVER]

Definitely Cece!

[@Erdnussbuttertoast]
