[@katieisreading]

[@bookswithmakenzie5461]

[@katieisreading]

ah thank you so much🥺

[@CharlottePrice]

this just single-handedly made my morning and convinced me to read strange the dreamer (hopefully in time for the live show)! i have been influenced. loved the vibes and it's so nice to see you and Cass together, so wholesome!!!

[@cassandralynnreads]

It's only wholesome because she cut out all the chaos 😂😂💕

[@katieisreading]

ah that makes me so happy to hear!!🖤 i hope you love it and make it to the live show :))) and cass is right i did cut out so much of the chaos hahaha😅

[@hyemiyah]

you're not the only one with dusty bookshelves! mine are so cluttered and dusty it's actually pretty sad. i absolutely love this vlog. it's so adorable! and that shirt is amazing. i'm obsessed!

[@katieisreading]

that makes me feel so much better thank you haha!!😭 and thank you!! and yes the cat shirt is now my favorite article of clothing, i am also obsessed!!

[@gerniahliburd]

Ugh, I have a two hour break before my next class and this is just what I needed! 🥰

[@katieisreading]

💙💙💙💙

[@katie_1791]

loved this vlog!! and i am currently reading strange the dreamer for the book club, and i’m really enjoying it so far!

[@katie_1791]

and the first name that popped into my mind was Kevin? 😅

[@jasminekaur9931]

I just finished reading strange the dreamer today so your vlog was perfect timing. Definitely a 5 star read the ending was so just I need to read the second book

[@katieisreading]

ah i'm so glad you enjoyed it!!😌😌

[@Jess-dv6py]

I read strange the dreamer earlier this year and enjoyed it. Not my favourite book ever but the writing was stunning! Im feeling inspired to pick up muse of nightmares now

[@Lillyjoy]

I love the cat portal shirt! 😊 I also love your videos with Cass they are fun to watch! I really liked strange the dreamer when I read it, I really like the writing! One of my favorite quotes from it was, “It was impossible, of course. But when did that ever stop any dreamer from dreaming?” Im excited for your live show on it!

[@Lillyjoy]

Also, I agree about loving the romance in the book! The only thing I didn’t like was the end of the book, I agree it was unexpected and for me it was too sad 😂

[@cassandralynnreads]

I am a delight 🤪 can't wait to see you at the livestream!!

[@Lillyjoy]

@@cassandralynnreads hahah yes you are! Yay I look forward to it!

[@katieisreading]

the cat portal shirt is now my favorite item of clothing i own i swear😭 and thank you! my videos with cass are my favorite ones to make (dont tell her that thought she doesn't need to ego boost...) but yes the writing in strange the dreamer is phenomenal i also loved that quote✨ so excited to see you at the liveshow!!

[@hyemiyah]

the skeleton is giving me strong fabrizio vibes. sadly, i have not read strange the dreamer, but your blog kind of makes me want to now. i'm currently reading the grapes of wrath because i love steinbeck 😭❤ i'm also reading magnolia parks with some friends.

[@katieisreading]

oh my god i love that name😭 and if you're ever in the mood for a very whimsical and magical story you should definitely pick strange the dreamer up! hope you're enjoying both of your current reads! i want to read a book by steinbeck at some point in my life! (i want to start with one shorter than east of eden though haha)

[@grantfury7098]

Not even joking when I say that I DIED when you gave the skeleton the book 😂😂😂

[@katieisreading]

trust me i was also dying when i realized he could hold it😭😭😭

[@stephmariem]

Thank you for providing us with a long vlog😌🙏🏽

[@katieisreading]

of course😌😌😌

[@hhannahkk]

katie, in the middle of the vlog i went and bought strange the dreamer and muse of nightmares thanks to you 😊 it arrives tomorrow !! very excited/thrilled/exhilarated edit: upon further reflection, the skeleton is kind of giving me a pete or david or kevin or joe or stephen kind of vibe - don’t know how to explain it 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@katieisreading]

i'm honored you truest my opinion this much, i hope you absolutely adore them both!!!💙💙💙

[@amandadowney953]

Aww just love your reading vlogs there great. Especially since Cass came along. Thanks for sharing. Inspire me to read on this lovely Sunday! Why wouldn't you want a cat dimension shirt!? That's a worthy purchase indeed. Great vlog!!! 📖🐈‍⬛

[@mirianna8977]

[@mcsims6094]

[@levinia333]

Strange the dreamer is one of my favsssss

[@Julie_ao]

I love your reading vlog 😻

[@katieisreading]

thank you!!🖤🖤

[@phoebemoore2434]

I haven't read Strange the Dreamer yet. It's on my shelf and I really want to read it! I don't think I will be able to get to it before your book club though as I already have a handful of books I'm currently reading. I love books with libraries in them!

[@katieisreading]

well i hope you enjoy it once you get to it! the emphasis on the power of stories in strange the dreamer is my fav part!

[@craftyreads]

I love the chaos that ensues in this video 😂 You definitely need to get Cass to read TCP, one chapter is not enough!

[@cassandralynnreads]

I can't let the peer pressure and bullying get to me 😂😂

[@katieisreading]

hahah thank you😂 and don't worry, i can tell i'm wearing her down, she'll be loving the series in no time😏

[@karina16]

I love your reading vlogs and seeing Cass was great. My current read is strange the dreamer, I'm almost 200 pages in but I feel pretty neutral about it at the moment. It's good but it's not great. I'm hoping that the more i read the more I love it just like you.

[@katieisreading]

thank you so much!!💙 and i hope you end up liking it more, it definitely took a minute for me to get into it! :))

[@adrianajanicsek6225]

I LOVE these videos

[@katieisreading]

thank you!!!

[@mari-wi6mz]

I read strange the dreamer years ago and absolutely LOVED IT! And muse of nightmares is even better than the first book. Honestly, this is the best duology I've ever read. Also check out her daughter of smoke and bone series, they're amazing too! Loved the vlog🧡

[@katieisreading]

i actually just bought the whole daughter of smoke and bone series and i am super excited about it!! and thank you!🧡🧡

[@BethanyC]

found your channel bc of Haley Pham and I love it so much!!!

[@katieisreading]

thank you!!💙

[@MariasNook]

Yeeeaaars ago I saw a copy of Strange the Dreamer (a different edition than yours though) in a bookstore and took a picture of it because I found it intrigueing but wasn't able to take it home. I still have that picture on my phone. Guess this video is my sign to actually get the book and read it haha

[@katieisreading]

haha that such a funny story actually, i hope you end up picking ti up and loving it!!!

[@toribetweenpages]

Shopping for Halloween decorations… we care Katie we always care 🖤🖤🖤

[@juliagr831]

I’m currently reading Strange the Dreamer and I don’t want it to end!

[@katieisreading]

[@gothicbibliophile]

i def need to read strange the dreamer now !

[@katieisreading]

yesss! i hope you pick it up and love it!🖤🖤

[@moreadsit]

Now I need to buy strange the dreamer to read.... back to the bookstore.... 🚶🏽‍♀📚

[@kaybee6534]

Benny for the skeleton! Like from Halloweentown🎃

[@dgoz97]

I think it's funny that you said you weren't going to put up the ghosties at the beginning because you were going to restrain yourself..and you already had a ghost and a pumpkin on your bookcase and then you got a skeleton to put up. Um but Loved seeing you and Cass together and your antics, I wish we could be friends irl honestly. As for you ending question I am reading Strange the Dreamer and you guys inspired me so it's the first book I'm annotating! I really like it but I picked it up late so I'm not sure I will finish it by book club which makes me sad

[@katieisreading]

those are my year round halloween decorations...😅 i wish we could all be friends irl too!! but i hope you love strange the dreamer and are able to join the live show, but the recording will be up on cass's channel after the fact too!! :))

[@karolinelovesyou9041]

I think we all need a cass in our life

[@katieisreading]

A video of Katie = a thousand smiles earned! 🙂 A video with Cass = a little crunchy tomato 🍅 (I love his little hat and his jokes.) The T-shirt with the cats is too beautiful, it's not around my house that you can find the like.
