DECEMBER WRAP UP | so many good books!!

[@cassandralynnreads]

I'm hiring you when I get a sponsor to write the transition because that was iconic 😂

[@katieisreading]

i’ll even give your a friends and family discount ;)

[@Sarah.reads.sometimes]

The Final Empire was going to be the first book I read in 2023 but it ended up being the last book I finished in 2022 because it was just. so. good. Elantris is next up on my Sanderson TBR. I think I've decided to read them in release order lol.

[@katieisreading]

ah i’m so excited to finally start mistborn myself! so glad you loved it!! good luck with the rest of your sanderson tbr haha!

[@razventures]

loved the transition to the book of the month sponsorship 🤣 get well soon katie 🫶

[@katieisreading]

[@morganryan3871]

A Katie video is a great day to start the day😊

[@LexieMoon321]

I read 7 books in December and it was a pretty good reading month and I even found a new nonfiction favorite! I hope you can rest up bb 🥺♥️

[@katieisreading]

so glad you had a good reading month!! and thank you🥺🖤

[@andshereads]

I love your channel! I've low-key been binge watching all your videos for the past couple weeks. I've had a lot of bad dumped on me all at once and your videos have been a little safe place for me lately.

[@katieisreading]

oh thank you so much🥺🥺 i hope things get better for you soon🖤🖤

[@nerdybynatureblog]

I read The Final Empire a few years ago and loved it! I really need to finish the rest of the series.

[@sophao]

I started The Final Empire in late December, but I just finished it last night and it was amazing :,) I hope you enjoy it whenever you get to it! And I hope you're feeling better!!!

[@katieisreading]

so glad you loved it!! i have a feeling i will also really like it! and thank you!! i feel much better now :))

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

I read (and did a reading vlog for) Mistborn and I am still shook… it has a character named Sazed who is my favorite supporting character ever. It was my first Sanderson and I’m impressed with how approachable his writing is!

[@katieisreading]

ah i literally need to start mistborn asap😩 so glad you enjoyed it!!

[@fallisdying2077]

That was so smooth when you mentioned book of the month😭

[@janet5123]

Feel better soon! I’m rereading Mistborn Era 1 this month and on the second book Well of Ascension right now. I think you will enjoy Era 1 as well as Era 2. If you don’t want to commit to another series by BS just yet you could read Elantris or Warbreaker

[@katieisreading]

thank you!! hope you’re enjoying your reread, and i definitely think i’m going to pick up warbreaker soonish!

[@literaryvaleria]

I CANT BELIEVE IM UP SO EARLY. THANKS FOR BLESSING ME GIRLY. hope you’re feeling better as of now!!! love ya and hope you have an amazing day

[@katieisreading]

haha thank you so much🥺🖤

[@just_vibes6532]

I think December was a really great reading month for everyone, I read so many good books in December. My favorite was A man called Ove, I love that book from the bottom of my heart. Also you don't sound atrocious just a little bit different, hope you feel better soon💛💛 great video as always.

[@katieisreading]

it really seems like! that makes me so happy that we’ve all read is many amazing books recently! also, ive heard really good things about a man called ove, so glad you enjoyed it so much!! and thank you🥺💛

[@pbandjmama]

Since I saw you were reading Daughter of the Moon Goddess, I decided to read it and it ended up being my favorite book of the year. The time jumps didn't bother me but I do see how it could bother others. I think it adds to that "epic" feel of the book in that it spans a lot of time. But also kind of agree, I "where's the training montage?" LOL.

[@katieisreading]

oh wow i’m so glad you loved it so much and didn’t mind the time jumps!!💙💙

[@evix.9888]

My favourite book of December was Origin which is the 4th book of the Lux series ❤️

[@emilierodriguez4080]

What Lies In The Woods was amazing. I could not put that book down.

[@katieisreading]

ooh that makes me very excited to pick it up!!

[@laures_art_]

The Skyward series from Branden Sanderson is also sooo good!!

[@katieisreading]

i definitely want to pick this series up at some point!!!

[@ambertaryn]

I always love watching your wrap-up videos or any video really! The timing of the upload was perfect so I could watch while having my morning coffee! My favorite book was “Lightbringer” which is the third book in the Empirium trilogy!

[@katieisreading]

thank you so much🥺

[@libbysreadingcorner9564]

My favorite book was Daughter of the moon Goddess and I don't think I had a least favorite book. But I am planning on finishing up the final empire this month in January I just have the hero of ages left to read and then read more of his works.

[@katieisreading]

hey that’s amazing that you didn’t have a least favorite book of the month! i hope you enjoyed the rest of the final empire!!

[@libbysreadingcorner9564]

@@katieisreading Right, but there is always a month where I have at least both each month

[@kyngriff]

Another video this is wonderful news!! That sponsor transition was actually amazing😂 I only ended up finishing legendborn in December but I did really enjoy that one.

[@katieisreading]

haha thank you😂😂 and i’m glad you enjoyed legendborn!

[@rashiagarwal5185]

Feel better Katie.!! 🫶🏻

[@katieisreading]

thank you🥺🖤

[@maki4229]

My fav book i read was the vanishing stair⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️and my least fav was shatter me⭐️⭐️

[@katieisreading]

poor shatter me haha, i can see why it’s not for everyone… but so glad you loved the vanishing stair!!

[@maki4229]

@@katieisreading I’m going to continue the series to see if it gets better but from the library because I don’t wanna spend money on books I might hate haha🤭

[@dgoz97]

Fav book of December was Daughter of the Moon Goddess or Slashing Through the Snow which was the end of a trilogy of cozy Christmas murders (something I never thought could be possible lol)

[@katieisreading]

so glad you loved daughter of the moon goddess (and that me and cass picked well for the book club haha)!! and slashing through the snow sounds incredibly intriguing🤔

[@dgoz97]

@@katieisreading I would definitely recommend the trilogy for just something fun for christmas time. The audiobooks were great with the voices, and really gave the characters extra personality

[@MariasNook]

I think my favourite book of December was Today Tonight Tomorrow by Rachel Lynn Solomon. It wasn't the best romance book I ever read but... it was simply the right book at the right time, if that makes any sense. So that's why I just had a really good time with that one 😊

[@katieisreading]

that definitely makes sense!! so glad you loved it so much! :))

[@PorothPorcupine]

I hope that you feel better very soon! 🥺

[@katieisreading]

thank you🥺🥺

[@gerniahliburd]

Loved this wrap up, hope you’re feeling better soon! 🫶🏾 I had a decent reading month in December, but I was mostly proud of myself for getting to all the holiday reads that I put on my December tbr. My favorite book was definitely A Worthy Love by A.E. Valdez. Wishing you an even better reading month in January! 💙

[@katieisreading]

thank you!!🥺🖤 congrats on getting to all your holiday reads (i definitly did not haha)! hope you also have an amazing reading month in january💙

[@Lillyjoy]

My favorite book was a manga called Bizenghast, it has a really nice and detailed art style and a cool gothic setting, I really liked it!

[@katieisreading]

ooh a cool gothic setting? maybe i’ll have to check it out haha, so glad you loved it!!

[@alenasvetlik9975]

You should read warbreaker before you read oathbringer. It's a standalone (for now) and some characters show up in both books. It not necessary but this way you get to experience the "it that.. yes... it is" moment. I'm excited for your cosmere journey, hope you love it☺️.

[@katieisreading]

i actually recently bought warbreaker so now i might have to read it before oathbringer (i do love some good crossovers), thank you for telling me!!☺️

[@fantasytale4653]

I hope you're going to be recovered from the sick soon💪

[@katieisreading]

i feel much better now!! thank you!! :)

[@ReadingNymph]

Telling and not showing is very much how I felt when reading Daughter of a Moon Goddess. Hope you feel better soon!

[@katieisreading]

thank you!!

[@missana3929]

The best book of December is easily The Mad Ship by Robin Hobb) Slightly dissapointed I didn't have time to finish The Ship of Destiny, but I hope I can finish it by the end of winter)

[@katieisreading]

ooh i always hear amazing things about liveship traders!! so glad you loved it!

[@francis4291]

Take care Katie, you need some rest. Thanks for this vlog. 🙋

[@katieisreading]

thank you!!

[@ccardozo4727]

YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jacquelynbechtold7862]

I just tried to read Lunar Love and I DNF'd at like 50 pages. Its a great concept but not nearly enough substance to the characters to get me hooked.

I was disappointed with Glow as well. It kept repeating and the story didn't really develop. The third book left you with a big cliffhanger and then the fourth was just an empty palm

[@katieisreading]

i completely agree (unfortunately🥲), keeping my hopes high for the fifth book though!!
