[@cassandralynnreads]

shoutout to the artfully thrown blankets in the background 😩

[@ReaderandWriter.]

They are the stars of the show.

[@meganmicha_]

The way you describe books makes me interested in every book

[@KatieColson]

Hearing you gush about Veronica and Stoker makes me so freaking happy. For real, I never get to hear other people talk about them. Ugh, they are my heart

[@raesbookcase]

One of my goals for next year is to read Brandon Sanderson books - so seeing all your positive reviews is making me even more excited!

[@ReaderandWriter.]

Same. I've been gathering the books on Audible and Libby so I can start soon.

[@MLLatUtube]

Map of the Otherlands made my top ten as well - looking forward to reading the sequel

[@CaptainFlick19]

One of my favorites this year was The Carrow Haunt by Darcy Coates 😊 definitely a fun spooky ride

[@jaja231]

Aside from rereads that I did this year, my favorite books are: The starless sea, System collapse, The spear cuts through water, Pack of lies, The sunshine court, The bones beneath my skin

[@sldkfk7858]

Thank you for this year Katie, for your hard work & for bringing us all such joy and entertainment with your videos 💕💕 Some of my favorite reads this year was A Dowry of Blood & The Invisible Life of Addie Larue!!

[@nuggetsforlau]

My top books of the year are Babel, The murmur of the bees, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, Tress of the Emerald Sea and The Final Empire :)

[@ctrlaltcassie]

KATIE I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOUR SCI-FI HORROR ERA OMG!! The prequel novella to Into the Drowning Deep is my most favorite all-time novella.

[@ReadingNymph]

This was an amazing best books list! I NEED to continue with Veronica Speedwell. It's such a good series

[@poppycalliope]

I've added the sword of kaigen in my 2025 tbr and I can't wait to read it! Thank you for a year of beautiful videos Katie, see u in 2025 💌

[@ilovedorianhavilliard]

my top books of the year were the folk of the air series, the invocations, empire of storms, house of hollow and powerless!

[@Merve77772]

My favourites of the year were Curious Tides and the second part Stranger Skies, as well as Yumi, Blood over Bright Haven, and A far wilder Magic

[@setayeshsbooks]

You make me remember why i love reading and the feeling and beauty of books❤

[@Sweetendroll]

The invocations and Emily Wild’s encyclopedia are so gorgeous! Could not love more! My top 2 books in 2024❤

[@tashalynn8205]

I just got the first book Encyclopedia of Fairies at the library and I’m so excited to start it! 😊

[@jessicahope1180]

Thank you, Katie. Your descriptions are too good. I've added every one of these to my list for 2025. 🎉

[@astoldbykat]

I read...way too many books this year, but I'd say my top 5 (from highest to lowest rated) is: "Middlegame" by Seanan McGuire, "The Murderbot Diaries" by Martha Wells (at least books 1-4), "The Gravekeeper" series by Darcy Coates, "Parable of the Sower" by Octavia E. Butler, and "Harrow the Ninth" by Tamsyn Muir. The best thing about Emily and Wendell being opposites: they are LITERALLY opposites. Emily may be socially awkward, but she does create genuinely meaningful connections with people when she manages to interact with them. Wendell, on the other hand, is very much shallow and surface level; he creates connections easily, but they're, well, shallow and easily forgotten or broken because he just doesn't (or can't) care that much. It's SO well done!

[@daad8264]

Loved this list and got so many recs ❤ I hope 2025 is a much better reading year for you. Just know that the sword of kaigen is epic and one of the best books ever written but it's not a standalone. The author isn't writing the next one for reasons but it wasn't written to stand alone, and honestly still worth it even if it never continues. I HOPE IT DOES THOUGH 😢

[@puppies983]

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Wind and Truth next year 😊

[@larrythelatypus]

i read A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon this year and that book just eclipsed everything else. so much better than priory of the orange tree, god it was amazing and i already want to reread it

[@beautifulmama862]

You're amazing Katie ❤ I have so many books that are my favorite because you loved or liked them and I had to read them and so because of you I am loving reading more and more so thank you ❤😊

[@flobarria9426]

My top books of the year were definitely the agggtm series omg I just loved it ❤ and also I read the first book in the Emily Wilde series and just bought the second one so can’t wait to read it!!! I love your videos katieee🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@derpylovecosplay]

My top books of 2024 were The Women by Kristin Hannah, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid, and the Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston.

[@surpriseitsus9622]

Book 4, purple book, I couldn't hear what you said, (talking so fast) and the book held up was in constant motion 😂

[@thestubbornreader]

There is a prequel to Into the Drowning Deep too. It's called Rolling in the Deep.

[@emilystewart4200]

if you haven’t read it yet, i’d really recommend a far wilder magic by allison saft! it’s so good and i’d say it’s similar in concept to ornithologists field guide and emily wilde

[@saulebdalin4809]

Nice and great selection for this year.

[@Nikita-de6yl]

Love all of your videos, Katie! It's so fun and relaxing, and your videos just got me out of a reading slump;)

[@Kittyzero13426]

I love these videos so much. I have a few on my list to read for next year and I am currently reading Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands. My top reads of 2024 were A Court of Wings and Ruin, The House In the Cerulean Sea, Witch Hat Atelier series, Yona of the Dawn series, Funny Story, and Divine Rivals. Hope you have a great holiday and a Happy New Year!!

[@hobsyllwin2562]

Yayyyyyyyy!!!!! Into the drowning deep!!!! My recommendation 😂😂😂😂

[@JadeMarieReads]

I really want to read Sword of Kaigan - I've heard many people mention it now - perhaps one for my bday list!

[@SahbaMobini23]

With the exception of the entire Throne Of Glass series, my favorites these year were Childhood's End (Arthur C. Clarke/sci-fi), There There (Tommy Orange/literary fiction), A Little Devil In America (Hanif Abdurraqib/non-fic essay collection), and Wellness (Nathan Hill/literary fiction)

[@bxtxl7831]

I've been waiting for this one. I kept checking if u uploaded a video yet for daaaays.

[@esliet]

Happy new year

[@jupiter4334]

my favorite books of the year were mexican gothic, the scarlet veil and the curse of sins. i also really want to read the emily wilde and veronica speedwell series, they're on my 2025 tbr!

[@oliviasweeney6310]

Reading a Brandon Sanderson book is on my 2025 TBR! I started Tress and was liking it but didn’t get to finish! Yumi sounds so interesting too!! And of course all of his series are so intriguing… What do you recommend I start with?! 📚 🌟 My favorite reads of the year were Yona of the Dawn (the whole thing lol), The Wicked King, and Anne of Green Gables!! 💗 💜 💚

[@justcallmejen2]

My introduction to Sanderson that was recommended to me was Warbreaker! A standalone Cosmere novel. Absolutely brilliant! Highly recommend. Can't wait to read Mistborn next! Xx

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

Can't wait to read Into The Drowning Deep and The Sword of Kaigen -- both have been on my tbr for years!

[@nicholaszancy4571]

I get high n watch Katie is reading 😂..btw if you like sci-fi horror you should read annihilation! My top 2 favorite bookz from this year. You can read it in a day if you’re committed.

[@BhairuPrajapatiVlog]

Congratulations 100k

[@libbysreadingcorner9564]

We share Emily Wilde's Map of the otherlands. I am reading that now with a friend of mine and I am hoping to finish it before the end of the year. SpellShop is on my list for my top books of 2024. I gave that one a 5 stars. Also I love your crochet blankets they are lovely..

[@AdamFishkin]

Good times.

[@rom.na005]

2024 was the worst reading year for me😂

[@Thebookforest]

Hope you had a good Xmas 🎄 I wasn’t a fan of the Invocations but I loved House of Hollow 🖤

[@sindhuraj6600]

Love and greetings from india

[@books_chae]

You are my idol for real 🫶🏻

[@setayeshsbooks]

Have my fingers crossed that you read Sword Catcher by Cassandra Clare, i would really love to know what how you feel about that.

[@emilyross2307]

Okay but what series do you love more Veronica speedwell or Emily Wilde 👀

[@surpriseitsus9622]

Veronica Speedwell

[@hatsoff2852]

Did you read The green bone saga by Fonda Lee? If not, I think you might enjoy it ❤
