[@jessethereader]

YOU STUCK TO THE NOT SAYING EXCITED PACT. YESSSSSS.

[@fireballx90]

Must have been tough! #BookTuberProblems

[@jessethereader]

fireballx90 the struggle is real

[@trevorramsay4465]

I hate them because they are teasing you saying "Yeah, you have to wait" and it's irritating.

[@littlebookowl]

YAAAAY

[@ArielBissett]

YOU'RE WELCOME, KAT

[@JustEssayIt]

I love how you always say "I hope you have a great night" and I pretty much always watch your videos in the morning. It amuses me :D

[@ClumsinessisaCurse]

I love your hate for chapter samples! I agree, it takes the shine off actually reading the book for the first time, and if I read a sample I've kinda lost interest by the time the book comes out. Meh. Not at all EXCITING! :P

[@Eekeat13]

Yeah. Totally

[@simonecarcer7503]

Ugh me too I hate chapter samples

[@hayleystudy]

EH

[@Jennheartsqs]

How did I not know there was such a thing as book tubers? I've literally spent the last 3 days watching your videos. You're like a cyclone force of reading nature! Not only have you inspired me to try a bunch of new series, but you've also inspired me to incorporate a character named Kat in one of my future Nano novels. (I'm thinking she'll have a dyslexic best friend who calls her Tak.) I've already shared your videos with my whole Nano writing group and they LOVE you! Why can I not "like" this video more than once??????

[@sayantanisarkar9600]

I had been dying for you to upload your BEA book haul! All the books look SO awesome! :D

[@FreakinHateGale45]

Nothing beats waking up to a new Katytastic video. Absolutely nothing. :)

[@MeganOlivier]

Your hair looks amazing!!!

[@Yohina1989]

"I am in this book!!" Hahaha. So jealous of your haul and all your books in the background! Can't wait to see what you think of these books!

[@trichmomma]

The ending had me laughing so hard.Just watching this video got me excited. So many awesome books; and, they're signed! Makes me happy to see your BEA trip fun and that you had a good time:)

[@Zoe-ei5ew]

"That's really, really exciting. FU-" Haha! :D

[@28Bookmarks]

/grabs popcorn This is going to be amazing.

[@TheMalinator1]

Awesome video! It was so great seeing all the cool books and other things you got at BEA!

[@FangtasticBites]

So many great books! So glad you got Heir of Fire! And Kattttt, you look great in this video. :D

[@yoitzo]

Eeeek!!! You met Jenny Han!! AND Rainbow Rowell!!!! I'm so jealous! I love your hair and outfit here! You look absolutely fabulous.

[@summerthai5508]

The last 2 seconds deserve an award XD you're awesome. I really hope when I get older I can go to BEA and see you there! :)

[@PatSaidHi]

You know what Katy? From the first time I watched your videos till now I was always like "Wow. She looks so pretty." :) and you inspire me. So thank you for being on Booktube. :)

[@PagebyPaige]

The Mortal Instruments hoodie probably has to be some of the favorite swag that I got. Cannot wait to see your reviews on those books. I wish I would have found/picked up Horrorstor! It looks so cool! Great books, and it was so great meeting you!

[@hannahcook279]

The 39 Clues series was my LIFE in 3rd-4th grade haha. I obsessively collected the cards and everything!

[@hxjo28]

I'm reading Zodiac right now and was like, "OMGZ!" when you mentioned it- it's so good!

[@shuzzlinreader5339]

I love the 39 clues! They are an awesome middle grade contemporary series!

[@alessandrabonizzi4702]

I REMEMBER THE 39 CLUES! I read those in like 4th grade! (I'm finishing 9th grade)

[@DreamerGeekForever]

Me too! I'm starting eighth grade! :P

[@Veronicz]

I started reading the 39 clues in 3rd grade

[@kylarhianon2765]

Haha all the guys I used to be friends with used to read them in year 3

[@jaynie_m]

I get so EXCITED when you upload new videos! Hahaha

[@petravanturnhout8137]

Talking about shining books, I also have an obsession with them. Disruption by Jessica Shirvington is gold and so freking shining hand also amazing.

[@PotterFangirling]

i love the 39 clues series! they're really fun and short!

[@cas_1139]

I was about to continue reading daughter of smoke and bone...then I saw a new Katytastic video. I think I have good priorities

[@sandyreadsalot]

So many books! Ahh, Heir of Fire! I recently finished reading The Assassin's Blade and I just want Heir of Fire in my hands!

[@natgant8280]

Awesome books!! I really want that Zodiac book!!! It sounds awesome! I can't wait for it to come out!!

[@maraskywalkeriii]

These Broken Stars is sooooo good! You have to read it. If you enjoyed Across the Universe, you will def enjoy These Broken Stars. For sure one of my favorite books I've read this year.

[@RosieOutdoors]

I'm really looking forward to reading Landline. You've reminded me that I really need to start the Mortal Instruments series, I've had the first book sat on my shelf for about a year now.

[@tamtam189]

Burn for Burn is one of my favorite books ever! The series is super awesome.

[@DantheBookMan97]

The 39 Clues!! The series is really awesome. It's worth the read because the books are fairly small. It's an awesome series I'm so glad someone else is reading it

[@stephisip]

I loved 39 clues!!!! It was great, that's what really started me to read a lot more

[@madisonelizabeth1836]

You got The 39 Clues! Yeah! I remember reading that in school, and it's awesome! Hope you like it! (It's A Long Series)

[@HannahxMarie]

I know I am really late considering this was posted months ago, but I would just like to share that 'Burn for Burn' is a great book, I've read it a while back and loved it!

[@bottombookshelf]

Burn for Burn is one of my favorite books, you'll love it!! Also, Landline is also soo good! :)

[@RemusReads]

Awesome haul... and the bloopers at the end were so funny xD

[@-.EllieW-.]

All of those books looks great ! I LOVE the hoodie. I live in England, I wish there was a book convention in England

[@Bluedragonriders]

Same, I am still waiting for heir of fire! Why does everything happen in America!

[@DTBOTU]

Hahaha oh gosh the ending was the most fabulous thing ever!!!! ❤️❤️❤️😂

[@WKDowden]

So cool that you got to meet so many authors!!! I love sample chapters! How can you not! I just read the sample chapters of J.K. Rowlings new novel The Silkworm and I can not wait to read the rest tomorrow when it's released!!!!

[@rekha3212]

I love this haul! The best BEA haul!

[@LaLa212009]

So wish I had ALL those books! Especially Heir of Fire and Iron Trial! So jealous!!

[@kataang1600]

I really want to go to your house and just read all of your books. You have SO MANY. Also i'm really jealous that you got to go to BEA. It sounds really cool

[@letsgetreckless]

KAT YOUR BOOKS AND BOOK SHELVES MAKE ME REALLY HAPPY AND SO DO YOUR VIDEOS OK.

[@twobookowls4838]

HEIR OF FIRE! HEIR OF FIRE! :) I got a e-arc of it for my blog, and I just couldn't resist start it that same day. It's really good! And it sounds like you had a lot of fun at BEA! I really want to go one year. I've also seen a lot of people talk about Afterwords, and the premise is intriguing! Also, side note? I also hate chapter samplers. And teasers online. It's just...SO RUDE. LOL. -Cassie

[@LilyAthena738]

Morgan and Jenny Han came to my city last year. I was one of 12 people at the signing, I loved it both ladies are so sweet!

[@abbykendal7239]

I just read These Broken Stars, and I loved it! I would highly recommend this book to anyone!

[@releasekarma]

I want Horrorstor so badly! I love the idea behind it

[@girlbossbooks4957]

I loved the blooper-y thing at the end.

[@QuillCafe]

I happened by Grady's signing completely by accident when I went over to Quirk to thank Eric for sending me Ian Doescher's The Jedi Doth Return. I'm really looking forward to reading Horrorstör. I also thought the cards were against me when it came to Afterworlds. I asked the lovely ladies at the S&S booth when the next drop would be, and they said there would be one at 3pm that day. Alas, there was not - but I caught it the next morning!

[@xMonNavi]

Omg this video was great ! I love your personality Kat!

[@popcorn1304]

Loved the end of the video. It was really exciting haha

[@joanaramacciotti4615]

FREAKING HEIR OF FIRE! I NEED THIS BOOK

[@BretReadsBooks]

I've heard a lot of people excited about getting an early copy of Landline. Joseph Fox Books in Philly has their stock available now. I saw at least five copies available today!

[@gemmawatkins2984]

I agree with you. I never read sneak peeks because I want the whole book and the sneak peek is just a tease, plus I can't be bothered to read it then when I do get the book because I've already read it and want something new so I entirely avoid sneak peeks.

[@Abouttoread]

I agree that chapter samples are stupid. Can't start reading unless you have the fill book... DK always has a the BEST totes at BEA. Those pockets are so useful. Love that they had an inside pocket this year :) Really love the Darkest Minds tote too, it's just cool!

[@londonisforever]

This book haul was so EXCITING

[@1alazydaisy]

Chapter samplers are only good if its the first book. It gives you a taste if the writing is going to interest you, but not the final. If you care about the final, you're going to buy it anyways. Samplers make the waiting even more aggravating.

[@NightOwlReader2790]

I love your "exciting" bloopers. Replacement word: Enthusiastic

[@losttoinfinity]

The 39 Clues series is one of my favourite series!! I love how the series is written by different authors. You really should read the series!!! I found so many other great books by the different authors too.

[@bishfish7726]

You should definitely read Burn for Burn. I've been thinking about reading it for the longest time, but I've never quite decided. It'll be really cool to see what you think of it!

[@jacoblanoue1685]

I can't believe it's been 9 years bestie seen i started watching your channel

[@fakegamergirl9630]

I bought These Broken Stars a few days ago, the cover is absolutely gorgeous. I hope I enjoy the book, too (I think I will though.) I've been dying to get a copy of Burn for Burn and Since You've Been Gone. I love both authors and they sound like worthwhile reads.

[@Dba092699]

I didn't know you had tattoos! So cool!

[@nadiahassan5886]

Oh! All those beautiful signed books! And the stuff you got so happy for you and jealous at the same ;)

[@retroverdrive]

I love it how you introduce yourself at the beginning of every single video, even despite the fact that you have 80,000+ subscribers XD.

[@sashabsanti]

Haha you trying not to say exciting made me laugh so hard. Great haul!

[@AndreaMGC]

I really like chapter samples. I think they are fun.

[@ReadingMissFroggy]

I'm so jealous that you have gotten Heir of Fire already! xD I want to read that book so badly! :P

[@andrew_Taylors_Version_]

You have an extra copy of The Darkest Minds!! Ahhhh!! I want this book so bad but it's out of stock at my bookstore!!

[@DoeEyedGirl887]

Where are you going to put all those beautiful books? Those bookshelves look pretty full. Amazing video! I want all of them!

[@emilyhawkins1308]

I actually like chapter samples in physical form. I don't get them on my Nook, but the physical copy holds the place for the actual book on my shelves. It also shows of a wonderful cover and I love thin books so much. Just thin books... blissful sigh.

[@gabrielabianchi1809]

Hey Kat! Happy Holidays from Puerto Rico. Hopefully you are doing well. I've never dealt with them, but chapter samplers just seem like teasers to me. Aggravating, back of your seat kicking, hovering teasers. I want the Darkest Minds! lol

[@Duck_offff]

Kat I would love it if you could make a 2014 book shelf tour I would be so happy if you were to make one because I love watching your videos please and thank you

[@LorienKittyBooks]

LOL! Good job on changing all of your "excited" to other words! :)

[@comfortreadsJess]

haha omg that ending was the best!

[@simplefashiongurl3376]

Kat you look amazing with your new hairstyle (Well you always look amazing) and love you videos!

[@sydneybannach6740]

Oh my gods thank you for saying what BEA meant I have been trying to find out for ages :)

[@fancynancyketchup]

Horrorstor looks SO GOOD.

[@ireadbooksandstuff4886]

"Really excited FU--" Clever editing. cx

[@somij1785]

The hoody!!! ❤️ need it😥

[@carlykerr9801]

When she first pulled out mortal heart I got so exited for a minute cause I thought legolos was on the cover

[@elois367]

This look suits you best. Make up on point, as always.

[@drumsofautumn]

I love your book hauls, they are my favourite thing ever (and I feel like I've commented something like that before)! So, so many great books. And now that you mentioned your tattoos I always wondered what they meant? Because they made me think of Sailor Moon but thinking of pixelated hearts is more The Legend of Zelda to me :D I would love to know if you want to share the story behind it.. maybe you already mentioned it somewhere and I just missed it :)

[@PangeA477]

You're so lucky! I live in the UK and as far as I know we don't have anything like that.

[@Cara.Plummer]

39 clues is actually really good!

[@sweetnothings12]

im still trying to finish the chaos walking trilogy which im loving!!!!

[@beckez]

I HATE CHAPTER SAMPLES. sometimes in trilogies they have them in the back of like the first book to make you wanna read the second and i just never read them :')

[@clovebooksdiva]

I like chapter samplers! Hahaha but congrats on all the books!

[@BreFaucheux]

Awesome haul! I want to read "These Broken Stars". I love your new hair. Looks so beautiful on you. Your eye makeup is pretty in this vid too. What can I say? You just look lovely. Is there a meaning behind your pixelleated heart tattoo? Sorry if I am dense to ask, but I am curious.

[@amelieromanticreader]

I also dislike chapter samples. Like you, I think it's pointless. I will be wanting a lot more if I read it. I prefer waiting for the entire book. Don't worry, you're not the only one to think like that! Horrorstör seems really original! I like originality! I hope Scott Westerfield is going to name his next book like he told you. I would be so nice to know the story behind the title and I guess you would be so happy. I would be such a beautiful story! Love the bloopers at the end. Great video Kat, as always :)

[@LevementeNerd]

OH MY GOD! The 39 Clues series is awesome, but underated. I think you'll like it :D

[@yellowtreezy]

The bloopers had me cracking up xD

[@sabbym26]

Chapter samplers really do suck :/ and I love how you were trying not to say you were excited about a book (quite amusing :p) but sometimes it's the only way we could describe our excitement xD

[@WonderOfAlice]

Love your outfit!

[@Macaronelle]

BURN FOR BURN IS AWESOME! Can´t wait for the 3rd book, ashes to ashes, coming this september :)

[@fagnela]

You are sooo lucky you can get books whenever you want, i literally have to wait to go to america to buy the books that I want because in they dont sell them in my countryyy

[@natbookeuphoria3527]

What country do you live in ? , if you don't mind me asking

[@JulEnglefaris]

Cant wait for Horrorstor in September.

[@danichristine3296]

I have noticed that in some of your videos you have the first four Pretty Little Liars book and I want to know what you think of them (if you have read them) because I am currently on the third book and I love it.
