woo a friday video again!!

[@bobbieldee]

Monthly wrap ups are my favourite bookish content. I love checking my KZbin feed at the start of each month to see everyone's wrap ups from the month before

[@mamin8army770]

Monthly wrap ups are the best, they sum up many books in a relatively short time, love em

[@mollystafford142]

I enjoy the wrap ups because it’s nice knowing your thoughts and could let new viewers get an idea of what you reading tastes are. Maybe you could include them in the monthly reset videos and recap the ones you read and talk about the ones you really enjoyed?

[@CoralTheWitch2023]

I LOVE monthly wrap-ups! It gives that closure that I need. I also love monthly re-sets!

[@LexieMoon321]

Wrap-ups are so good because it can give people ideas for their next read! Like, I watch some of your videos and actually take notes on what I could read next. But you do what is comfortable for you, Katie. Thank you for posting today and have a lovely weekend

[@cammirose1097]

Exactly !

[@cammirose1097]

I enjoy wrap ups the most I think that is almost all I watch cuz they talk about plenty of books they reads and give each a review with further explanations etc!

[@raibaby272]

Your description of the darkest part of the forest does remind me of the vibe I got from the first book in the modern faerie tales series. The whole time I was reading tithe the little movie in my head was looked like the labyrinth and the dark crystal. Super nostalgic, dark and full of little critters

[@clearykatie]

Often wrap ups are the only book videos I watch

[@jacklynbarrs6419]

An Ember in the Ashes quartet is one of my favourites. A Sky Beyond the Storm...wraps up the elements amazingly well.

[@dgoz97]

I recently saw a short form wrap up which was really fun and made it not feel repetitive, she would just hold the book up and give it a yay, meh, or nah. It could be fun since most of the books you do show in vlogs, but then you get the satisfying feeling of wrapping up the monthly books

[@grandmaschuman]

I like the monthly Wrap Up videos! March was my slowest month ever for reading! I only read 3 books, which put me WAY behind my reading goal of 100 books for the year. I'm a teacher, so I'll make it up during the summer. I read: A Curious Beginning (Veronica Speedwell-LOVED and will continue series), Happy Place (4 stars), and Shadow of the Falls (Sweetwater Falls Mystery series-5 stars).

[@thewillowtree4252]

I love all the monthly videos! Wrap-ups and tbr videos are so fun to watch

[@Audrey_7]

I absolutely adore monthly wrap ups!

[@giovannabetancourt3064]

Monthly wrap ups are my favorite videos! Followed by monthly TBR lists.

[@pleasedtoreadyou]

i love that you loved The Dead Romantics!! i didn't hear good things before i read it and it really (really!) caught me by surprise - i loved it so so so much. my eyes got very sweaty throughout 😬

[@Sobeykin]

monthly wrap-ups are my favourite kind of videos!

[@ashleybeckrreads_]

I love watching monthly wrap ups!

[@sallycloete4573]

Monthly wrap ups are my favourite 😍

[@Ohana-rf4ms]

Yes to monthly wrap ups!

[@derpylovecosplay]

I always love starting my Friday off right with a new video from you!

[@candlelightlove]

i love wrap-ups, they are so chill for me to watch. but do what u enjoy the most!

[@malenafrigeri6248]

Oh i absolutely LOVE monthly wrap ups 😍 I doscovered so many books thanks to you ✨🌷

[@vanessafarfan5741]

i loveee wrap ups it helps me understand reviews of books i possibly want to read! maybe just do them whenever you feel like :)

[@thatoisaacs4030]

I thoroughly enjoy your wrap ups. It usually influences my next reads, cos sometimes I can be so indecisive about what to read📚 . And your insights are sooo good for me. Keep at it😢😞

[@fallenangel6872]

I love monthly wrap ups and tbrs 😊

[@BresBooks83854]

I love wrap-ups! But maybe another type of non vlog video where we can hear what you thought, like recent reads, would be better?

[@jupiter4334]

I read Half a Soul last month and it was AMAZING!!! I am now obsessed with Dora and Elias too, thank you so much for making me read it✨

[@caitmax5564]

Love the wrap ups- but also understand if you aren’t feeling it! Maybe wrap ups after a few months.

[@user-kd9pe9sz8y]

I love the monthly wrap ups - so many good book suggestions :)

[@dohabeshir9405]

please do more wrap ups ❤ and my fav book in march was the adventures of amina alsirafi it's a new all time favourite for me now. i've listened to the dead romantics in january and loved it too even if romance isn't really my favourite genre but i enjoyed this one

[@lasaintecourtisane]

I also started mistborn era 2 last month and just finished book 3 - it ramps up SO MUCH between book 1 and 2. Shadows of Self is miles above Alloy in quality and really Sanderson at his best. And I was really relieved that Wayne got less annoying/felt like more of an actual person as well (Sanderson’s humor does not always hit and I was also very nervous haha). Can’t wait to hear what you think of the rest of the series!

[@jadejeb3295]

I would love to recommend you try out The Final Strife by El-Arifi! the elements you discussed as issues with Faebound were really well done in Strife, along with the other aspects that you already liked such as world-building !! just really loved that book, hope more people experience it 🥰 lovely video, thank you!

[@ashlyh3591]

Yes. Love your monthly wrapups ❤

[@rosiedevall]

About wrap ups, I watch all of your videos and I am a Patron, so they’re a bit repetitive for me and therefore not my favorite videos. However, I can see how someone who doesn’t watch all of your videos would appreciate an all-in-one catchup with you. Plus book recs! Maybe a quarterly wrap up of your favorites with explanations. Then, rapid fire your flops/meh books. I will watch everything no matter what 😆

[@yuleham]

I looove the wrap ups. It’s a nice little book-gossip session

[@colourless6312]

I always love monthly wrap ups but, really, i’ll enjoy anything you upload

[@elizabeth.487]

I just started the Veronica Speedwell series and am currently on the second book! It's such a great time- I'm definitely liking the second one better than the first so far and thank you so much for this recommendation!!!

[@Mamabookworm88]

Monthly wrap-ups are great!

[@Kittyzero13426]

I would say if you only want to do quarterly just do the books you enjoyed the most. Hopefully that helps and I also enjoy monthly wrap ups because they are like book recommendations. My favorite books that I read in March were City of Ghosts and Flowerheart. My least favorite book was City of Fallen Angels because I felt like nothing happened in the book. Happy reading!

[@Theaterg15]

What my favorite book in March i read is totally Legends and Lattes

[@hannajagare6211]

hi katie! every single video you do is so cozy and lovely, so do whatever makes you feel best-we love them all 🩷💫🌱

[@wolfme4030]

Okay Katie, I have two series to recommend based on your description of the Veronica Speedwell series. Phillip Pullman’s Sally Lockheart series and Mick Finley’s Arrowood series. The Sally Lockheart series is middle grade? But still fun and Arrowood is more adult were Arrowood is a contemporary of Sherlock Holmes and think he’s a bit of an idiot who only deals with the upper class’ problems. Hope you enjoy if you decide to pick up either series.

[@sarahwinderss]

love your monthly wrap ups!!

[@surpriseitsus9622]

Thats why I watch booktubers, wrap ups, finding out what books you like or don't like, and why. I think I only watch wrap ups. Im not into journsking, daily life stuff, but I'm much older than you.

[@emmaskapetis7603]

Great video. You read so many different varieties of books last month.

[@MeAsTeee]

do whatever feels good to you Katie. Thanks for recommendations 💞

[@AlicjaSicko]

I normally hate reading wraps ups and skip past them but I LOVE yours so yours are the only ones I watch

[@ErinSullivan]

Thank god I love your wrap ups!!!!

[@Nadia_Guadalupe]

The Darkest Part of the Forest!! I love that book. For fae books, I really love Holly Black's and Cassandra Clare's versions of them.

[@katgreer6113]

12:17 same gurl i also really liked The Darkest Part of the Forest.

[@sylwiaoles8686]

in march i've read 6 books, my fav was definitely Terms and conditions by Lauren Asher and Rogue by Onley James. I also really enjoyed The stardust thief. after this video i'm adding to my tbr both of Ashley Poston books that you've read! I love Bookish and the beast by this author. and i'm currently reading Bride AND LOVING IT 💓

[@LibrariesandLattes]

The Dead Romantics is on my April TBR! And I’m hoping to also read The Seven Year Slip soon, so glad you enjoyed both of those! My favorite book from March was Six of Crows, and my least favorite book was The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle 😬😆

[@annibunny5968]

My favourite books from March were Love and other words by Christina Lauren, the romance in that book is unparalleled, also I cried like the last 30 mins I read and it ripped my heart out 😭😭 But it was SO SO good, 5 stars. Also All the dead lie down by Kyrie McCauley was really really good, it's a gothic horror with a sapphic romance. I loooved these two books 🥰

[@despoinalouv]

I started the veronica speedwell series because of you and I am already obsessed

[@chocolateoreo6489]

I’m sending you love and all the great vibes ❤❤❤

[@fallonturner7441]

I also read Faebound in March and felt the same way - there’s lots I liked about it but the romance aspect fell way short (particularly the enemies to lovers). Crimson Moth/Heartless Hunter was such a good read for me and Girl, Goddess, Queen was fun!

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great wrap up 📚☕

[@willowgalathynius13]

my favorite book of march was powerless! 🖤

[@_inmyhead]

Okay green is your color wow! 😍😍😍

[@saigesmith5210]

Personally I LOVE monthly wrap ups, second only to vlogs for my favorite content

[@melslittlebooknook]

Oooh I’ve been wanting to read The Magician’s Daughter. I didn’t like Faebound but the lore and world super interesting

[@motive_of_the_witch2369]

I love this video, please do them. ❤️ My library hold shelf is gigantic after it, but I regret nothing. 😂 For me 2024 is so far a year of DNFing books. 🙈

[@fantasywelten2092]

Wrap ups are my favorite videos. I watch only KZbinrs with the same taste. So that is where I get my book recommendations from. If you don't like filming wrap ups maybe you can just record a short film right after finishing a book. At the end of the month you can cut these little films together.😊😊

[@stummyfeelingsickly]

if not monthly, perhaps quarterly wrap ups? a lot less pressure that way :)

[@hobbyjournals]

Love that you read both of Ashley Polston’s books and loved them; I need to get to The Dead Romantics! I read Nettle & Bone by T Kingfisher this month and really wanted to love it, but ultimately it was a 2 star for me 😅

[@hobbyjournals]

I actually read it in a kindle unlimited reading vlog, so if anyone is interested they can check that out on my channel :)

[@libbysreadingcorner9564]

I want to read the 2 Ashley Poston books so bad, I have 1 one of just need to read it

[@janet5123]

Not gonna lie. For half a second there I thought this was Monday😂 seeing a Friday video from you again woo hoo

[@ReadingNymph]

I really need to read The Magicians Daughter 😅

[@HaiJosephine]

Goodmorning and happy Friday all! 🎉

[@readbybee]

I just read a book with a lot of whimsy! Its the grace of wild things by heather fawcett. highly recommend !!

[@beautifulmama862]

Love this ❤❤❤❤❤

[@hancook2266]

I personally love monthly wrap ups but if you’re not feeling them it’s totally fine to do it differently do what feels right for you :) Maybe quarter year is too long but what about every two month?

[@ashymomo24]

Please make a vid about all the books you dnfed!

[@dauntlessgranger]

Yaayy new video🩵

[@issaazarcon7799]

Hi Katie! viewer from Canada here

[@astronomylover3266]

I think I read 2 books.kiki's delivery service and the prisoner of zenda. Kiki wasn't that good. As for the prisoner of zenda, it was lovely.

[@zeynepbeyza7658]

i don't know anybody told you that but i think the way you talk is sooo much similar with the korean actor kim woo bin even you talk the different languages

[@user-wi9wn4cp8m]

you look like a fantasy character ✨

[@cassandralynnreads]

OMG Katie on a Friday 🙈

[@madelynmahurin8357]

Can I ask a q about Veronica Speedwell? I started reading the first one and was put off by how much of a know it all Veronica is and DNF’s it. Is this part of her character development or does she stay like that? Cuz the premise of A Grave Robbery sounds dope and I kinda wanna read it 😂

[@astoldbykat]

The romance was my least favorite part of Faebound; especially the main one, because it was WAY too soon given the feelings between the two of them. For the magic: the lore...chapters? interludes?...explains that the gods gifted the Elves with divination (wisdom) and the Fae with magic. Elves are able to "use" magic because their drums are made from the skin of the obeah, the animals that bind to the fae. Without those skins, the Elves have no real offensive magic. (I'm also reading The Dead Romantics now and can confirm, def a spring spooky romance)

[@pinkgirl1108]

Girl how do u read a lot books for me I just read three books in march and I want to read 10 per month do have any tips for that ?

[@naomiking7518]

❤❤❤

[@clarabellah3767]

I enjoy monthly wrap ups but not at the expense of your mental as l health. Also, hate to tell you this after you’ve finished the book but ‘Iwan’ is pronounced ’you-un’ 😊 @katieisreading

[@youwillneverknow7165]

Aw I missed the "if you're feeling shady". Personally I love wrap ups, but if you don't want to be filming them maybe try to at least find a compromise? You could do a shorter video talking about books that weren't covered in vlogs for example whenever you feel like you have enough of them.

[@debraschnitzer8802]

You poor young people who don't believe in love at first sight. What about Romeo and Juliet. I fell in love at first sound. I heard his voice, and something went through me.

[@ririschannelx]

Romeo and Juliet were idiots that were ready to die for each other after knowing each other for a week and put their interests before their own family that cared about them. They both die which makes their behaviour pointless and immature. It’s a tragedy. Have no idea why it’s considered a romance. There’s nothing romantic about dying over someone you met the other day. It’s idiotic.
