Your Autumnal blue cardigan is really cute, and your Peter Pan collar blouse! I'm in my 50s now, and am absolutely LOVING the Emily Wilde series! Just started the 2nd book and it's lovely. Also just bought the Starless Sea & Hamnet, so looking forward to reading those before I head into my Classics again 🙂

[@inkywhale8737]

I love hamnet :DDD!!!

[@ladyfox6705]

@@inkywhale8737 I've heard lots of great things, so looking forward to adding it to my ginormous TBR 😊📚📚📚📚😅

[@emmie4628]

​@@ladyfox6705can I just read 2nd book of Emily Wilde without reading the first book?

[@ladyfox6705]

@@emmie4628 I wouldn't. It's a series, so reading them in order will make more sense. You'll get to know the characters, the world-building, meeting their friends and enemies, their stories and the over-arching plotline. Both books are adorable and I don't think you'd want to miss out on reading the first, or you'd be missing out on a lot of the things that Emily & Wendell go through 🙂

[@emmie4628]

@@ladyfox6705 what is the difference between reading book 2 without reading book 1 I mean will I miss everything? Actually book 1 is so costly n I'm just a student I can't afford that so I was thinking to just read book2 😭 is it possible? 😭

[@LexieMoon321]

It's always exciting to find your first Five Star book of the year! Sending you lots of love, babe ❤

[@speaking_bookish]

You gotta share how you made that cover! Katie Colson would likely give a limb for a matching cover to this series. It’s her obsession lol

[@morganlevell2199]

Winnie is truly the perfect kitty ugh 😩🩷

[@ReadingNymph]

The tab choices for Emily Wildes Map of the Otherlands was stunning 😍

[@leoniereads]

I've been studying all day and I finally took a break to watch your new vlog.😍 They always bring me so much joy and comfort !😇

[@stephaniejohnson6855]

I am so impressed with your dust jacket! I have been trying to figure out a way to get my copy of a curious beginning to match!

[@HannahBubbles24]

Love the comfy cozy reading vlog! It’s cute when Winnie is just like excuse me mom let me help you out with reading by wanting attention ❤

[@StashaA.]

That dust jacket is absolutely fantastic! 👏

[@madsisreading]

THE SEVEN YEAR SLIP MY NEW FAVORITE OMG I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU THINK

[@UrfavdominicanJazz]

I’ve spent the entire day immersed in my studies, and finally decided to take a breather by tuning into your latest vlog.😍 Your vlogs never fail to fill me with happiness and provide a sense of solace!😇 Kudos on reaching the 80k milestone. You’re truly exceptional!! ✨🤎 Sending you all my love and best wishes for an incredible 2024❤

[@MariasNook]

I think it's so cool that you crafted your own dust jacket for the first book in the Veronica Speedwell series!

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great vlog. Such cozy vibes like always Katie! 📚☕🫖🔖

[@stephaniep804]

I’m impressed with that dust jacket!! Seven Year Slip was amazing!

[@ChildofFrog]

Katie, your videos comfort me so much! Thank you for being amazing 🫶🏼

[@meganolivia05]

I always love watching your videos! They are so aesthetic and pretty! When I’m stressed with college or work, I like taking breaks to watch your videos. I love the soft piano with your montages :)

[@michellecgb]

Emily Wilde’s has made my life better fr. I love both books, Maps was also a 5-star for me. I thought it was better than the first one and that one is already great ❤❤❤

[@rakshitaprasad9479]

Katie your vlogs are super cool! It always inspires me to read. You are my fav booktuber

[@Sumaiya1691]

Congratulations! You've got a new subscriber. I also love reading books, but I don't read that much books like you. I read 2 to 3 books only each month and some are from online bookstore cause I don't have money to buy so much books😅

[@KatieColson]

Random but the shot at 4:20 where you the books wrapping around is so stunning. I don’t know what it is but it’s gripping and exciting and just perfection

[@KatieColson]

Coming from someone who first collected Veronica Speedwell in hardback then sold them and bought the paperbacks and then REbought the whole set in hardback…I highly suggest going with the hardbacks. They’re hella cheap on pangobooks. And they’re all the same size. And you’ll think that you’ll hate the first book not matching but if you look at my shelves, they’re very visible and you don’t notice at all.

[@Sof_rha]

Your vlogs are always super fun❤ sending you lots of love❤

[@MoonofPages]

My anxiety has been very high today but your video was so relaxing and finally helped me calm down for a bit, so thank you for that 💖

[@JanAgaton]

i've bought 40+ books this year already so buying 3 is REALLY good lmao watching your vlogs is always the best start to my mondays 😍 also you've just validated my decision to DNF check & mate lol

[@AshleyHorton]

I read the first Veronica Speedwell after subscribing to your channel, based on how much you loved it and I’m so glad I did!! I can’t wait to read more in the series. And, I started The Ten Thousand Doors of January yesterday and I’m up to about 70% and loving it!!

[@catfishm.1361]

Cute kit, hey where’d ya get the Forks sweatshirt, love it! And the blue sweater is so pretty. ❤️ Map of the Otherlands seems very interesting! 👍🏻

[@livingdeadgirl5663]

Emily Wilde’s map of the Otherlands is the next on my TBR. Currently reading Fourth wing 🐲

[@meganbrush]

I just finished the Will of the Many this weekend! Oh boy, it's soo good. It took me about 150 pages to get into, but then I couldn't stop. ENJOY

[@Naturellebooks]

omg the kitty reading with you was purrrfect 🐱

[@haleybordelon-f8g]

All the clips of you reading with your cat had me 🥹

[@caitlinlauren]

[@narelleking9040]

We love a vlog with Winnie in it. She's so cute x

[@oopsiesdaisiesdaisy]

Your sweaters are always so cute!!

[@TheLazyDaze]

OMG EMILY WILDE YES!!! I was giggling from pg 4 already XD I loved the first book but holy moly the second one blows it through the roof 😍SOOOOO funny, cute, whimsical, AND THE ATMOSPHERE AND THE BANTER!!! The pen scene and the enchanted stones in the museum in particular had me HOWLING XD I was sending those quotes to all of my friends even tho they knew nothing about it 😂 I even got my mom to sit down and read both books. Omg, I could talk about it for hours. It’s been a hot second since I smiled and laughed and giggled so hard while reading a book ❤😂 As soon as I finished I made a Howl x Sophie amv too cause it was the closest vibe I had to editing with them LOL (the curse of my 2 hobbies being editing and reading is that you can’t directly edit with books 🥲). BUT I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!! AAAAAAAAAH!!!! So glad you loved it as much as I did 😍🔥❤️😭😂

[@BookedIn1982]

I plan on making a dust jacket , hopefully, for A Curious Beginning and that I can pull it off

[@Libriecappuccini]

I know you would love Emily Wilde’s map of the otherlands! I loved it too! And I started reading this series cause you recommended it ❤

[@vintagelace7076]

My 5 star this year is The Once and Future Witches by Alice. E Harrow..such a great read..loved everything about this novel.

[@manishasarda3741]

It’s a inspiration to me - your videos I love them

[@brooklynjackson8288]

Loved this video, as always💖

[@Sarah.reads.sometimes]

Your mom’s printer is top tier 😮 Is that how you print out your book covers? They’re always so stunning.

[@jadadarcelle]

i'm so scared that i'm not gonna like cozy fantasy but you have officially inspired me to read emily wilde lol! i'm sorry you didn't love check & mate but do you think you'll pick up ali hazelwood's new fantasy, bride? it's a werewolf/vampire romance! loved the vlog (like always) and congrats on 80k! 🩷

[@cherriqu3583]

omg I need to know where you got your calcifer candle thingy 😭 it's so adorable

[@catherinearnold6871]

Katie I’m so glad that you loved Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands as much as I did! With your love of Half a Soul, I just got to say you will adore A Fragile Enchantment! It blew my mind, it’s my new obsession! Please indulge me!

[@sabrinareadsandrambles]

I am so happy to hear your thoughts on Check and Mate because soo many people gave it 5 stars and loved it but I read it and gave it I think a 3? I totally agreed that the romance just wasn’t there, the love interest barely came into play until like the middle of the book. It was a good time but just not 5 stars to me.

[@maddywilkie]

you wear the cutest clothes! i wish i had ur wardrobe 🫶

[@Aaaavvvvvvvva]

I read Emily Wilde’s encyclopaedia of fairies and didn’t really enjoy it but you have convinced me to read the sequel!!!!

[@user-xb8fk9ku4t]

[@kellyrees4619]

Hi Katie! I am currently reading Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Fairies and for some reason, I can't keep Emily as a female protagonist. Why on earth do I want to switch to a male protagonist? Did you do this ever while reading it?

[@achiereads]

I love lore Olympus!!!! I didn't know it had a printed copy!!!!! Noooo

[@achiereads]

Also please can you rate faebound for us?

[@kattnisseverdeen8029]
