Mid Year Freak Out Tag | I've already read 50 books?!

[@CypherRae]

Highly recommend Radiance for your next Valente pick!!

[@katiemariereads]

Ooo that looks amazing

[@princxly]

re: the cure for failure video, I didn't watch it mostly because of personal reasons/what's going on in my life (it just felt like it'd hit too close to home lol) but the concept IS interesting, so I'd like to watch videos with that concept of the cure for blank 🤗

[@floraandfable]

I’m really happy that ally mentioned you in her video, because now you are one of my favorites❤ I need to check out all of the creators you mentioned! I just stared editing my mid year book tag, and my best sequel is also Lightfall! I really enjoyed the video “the cure for failure”, and I don’t know why people weren’t interested in it 😩 I’m waiting for any video from you I watch them all!

[@katiemariereads]

Ah that is so nice thank you love! ❤️

[@ArinHoney]

Thank you so much for the shout out! 😊 You’ve been one of my favorite booktubers for around a year now, and I love watching you grow and change. I really hope that you continue to enjoy yourself while you’re working toward your new goals-that’s one of the most important parts 💛

[@katiemariereads]

Aww thank you so much!

[@andtheywerereaders]

Oh wow! Such a kind shoutout. And we really are just out here goofin and having a good time. 😅 Thanks for sending some love and sharing our channel!! You are also so delightful!! -Sierra

[@katiemariereads]

Thank you Sierra--can't wait to see your channel grow!!

[@haileyx9347]

I read Garlic & the Witch and Garlic & the Vampire. It's the cutest graphic novel. So definitely picking up Lightfall!

[@katiemariereads]

I absolutely love garlic and if you like that I think you'll definitely love lightfall!

[@litwithkat]

This was the best wrap up I've seen, very organized and great recommendations. Thank you

[@Audrey_7]

Ahh it's always exciting whenever you come out with a new video! Absolutely love your content

[@katiemariereads]

Thank you thank you!! ❤️

[@libraryunbounded]

OMG, this was an awesome surprise! Thank you so much! I am going to be smiling for the rest of the day now! ❤ Also, a great video! I am definitely checking Lightfall!

[@katiemariereads]

I hope you love lightfall!!!

[@arafisms]

so glad u loved deathless!!

[@sarahwebb1450]

Just found your channel. I love that you had such a lovely variety in your answers. I added a few books to my shopping cart. It might be dangerous to my wallet, but I subscribed and I'm off to check your older videos.

[@katiemariereads]

I'm so happy you're here! ❤️

[@Merakkai]

Lightfall sounds so charming, I'd love to read it with my niece (she is 4 though, so probably in a few years?). So happy you liked @andtheywerereaders, those two always cheer me up and I can't help smiling watching their vids.

[@bethmw28]

anything by Tiffany McDaniel makes me SOB!

[@HannahlovesStories]

I’m no allisonpaiges but hopefully a few new subscribers find you from my mid-year freak out tag! Wishing you all the growth over the last half of 2024 because you deserve it!

[@katiemariereads]

You're so sweet thank you so much ❤️

[@victoriazeccola]

I had so many comments! I really want to read Deathless… every time you talk about it I’m like “I should just buy it right now”. And… I found your channel through Ally last year and I am with you sending so much love and positive vibes her way. I haven’t done my midyear freak out video yet, but I’m excited to do it after we move this weekend! ❤

[@katiemariereads]

I hope your move goes well!!

[@RAHowes]

Thanks for the video. I'm hoping to do this tag over on my channel fictional crafts soon. But in the meantime, some of my favourite booktubers are bookswithemilyfox, Ana Mo Shoshin, Noteworthy Fiction (Nicole) and *aisling*.

[@amberdavish3555]

Hi Katie! "What my Bones Know" is a great memoir if you're looking for something emotional! It's a heavy read but with a hopeful ending!

[@katiemariereads]

Amazing thank you!

[@lena_blue]

Hi Katie! The cure for *blank* is a great video idea but the book that was recommended for it just sounded so boring 😂 Maybe they have more exciting recommendations for other cures?

[@katiemariereads]

This is such a good point 😅

[@elliafabia]

Loved the shoutouts! I'm always on the look-out for new people to watch and I put a bunch of their videos in my watch later playlist :D I make videos too, vlogs to be specific in which I include my reading as well :)

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

This is my 2nd year doing this tag for my channel such fun. 🥤📚

[@Indie_witch10]

Girl I love your videos so so much. Subscribing to your channel has brought me joy. I also have really enjoyed many books this year so far including Pure Colour and Death Valley. Highly recommend!

[@katiemariereads]

Oo I've been meaning to get to Pure Color! Thank you so much for your sweet words ❤️

[@briannabythebooks]

Just found your channel through this video and subscribed! If you haven't read them yet, I highly recommend the Murderbot series for scifi.

[@katiemariereads]

So happy you're here! I ADORE murderbot!!

[@juliette3423]

The dragon sound scared me 🤣

[@katiemariereads]

I'm so sorry 😂

[@bookinhand_]

Hi Katie!! Your rec of Lightfall a couple of months ago made me pick it up and I LOVE it! ❤️ love your vids so much !

[@katiemariereads]

I'm so happy to hear that you loved it!!!

[@CheyeW13]

i loved the novel cure concept! i think starting off with failure might've been a big swing tho 😅

[@katiemariereads]

So fair hahaha

[@rowan.27]

I'm sure I've recommended this before but if you love fungal sci-fi/horror you should definitely read Sorrowland by Rivers Solomon!! I've read all of their books and Sorrowland is my absolute favorite of theirs so far, it's incredibly weird, emotional, creative, and well-written and I don't see people talk about it nearly enough!

[@katiemariereads]

Ahh I really need to get to this!

[@Alex-nf3wi]

One of my favourite booktubers is @MaedBetweenthePages. Beside beeing a book collector and a wonderful human being with a vast vocabulary, Taylor is one of the SPFBO judges as part of the Before We Go Blog. On her channel you may find quite a few interviews with well known fantasy authors,

[@katiemariereads]

Ooo I will check her out thank you!

[@erinlame6267]

Funny story reminded me of my partner too ❤️

[@Belladonna_Q]

My favourite sf book is The Vanished Birds by Simon Jimenez. I read it with my husband two years ago and we both loved it to pieces.

[@Belladonna_Q]

It’s also very moving and touching, so you can double up on science fiction and crying! 😂

[@katiemariereads]

Oo perfect thank you!

[@herbybib]

I just want you to be prepared, Everything the Darkness Eats has some extremely triggering content. Definitely look up warnings before you go in ♥️

[@katiemariereads]

Very good to know thank you!

[@wandering0wonderland]

Love Lightfall, the third book is just as good, i don't understand how the author does it 🥰

[@katiemariereads]

Ahh I can't wait to read the third one!

[@JennyFernBooks]

I'm a booktuber! 😊

[@Jane42.]

How is LGBTQIA+ a genre? Weird that Storygraph classifies it that way.

[@princxly]

it's not just storygraph, goodreads, libby, etc. all classify books with lgbtqia+ content as a genre with additional tags for other genres as well ex. lgbtqia+, romance, fantasy, etc. I do agree that it's kind of weird but I can't think of other alternatives that would make it easy to find lgbtqia+ books specifically

[@Jane42.]

@@princxly Good point. It is handy to be able to search that way.
