NEW YEAR, NEW BOOKS // JANUARY BOOK HAUL

[@vanessahansmann2465]

*"I make poor decisions"* Me too, Kat, me too

[@jeremiahbok9028]

So glad you're branching your taste out into non-YA. How exciting. I can't wait to hear about Oliphant (and Turtles AtWD). Also, I understand what you said previously on Turtles. It's a troubling book. It understands you too well. Hugs, Kat.

[@marissaann1233]

Me: I need to stay off booktube. My tbr is getting way too big. Also me: Oooohhhhh Kat posted a new video!! **watches video & adds more books to my tbr**

[@slytherinnam7755]

Marissa Lambert omg SAMEEEE. I literally had 200 on my list before discovering the wonderful world of booktube. Now I have 406 books

[@TheReadingWerewolf]

Seeing "Beneath the Suger Sky" after seeing you talk about the other two books was way more satisfying than it should have been.

[@ellieschwartz8431]

I LOVED Eleanor Oliphant!!!!

[@shadowling1478]

Several great titles here, Sugar Sky is awesome too, i love all of this series.

[@sandyreadsalot]

I finished Meet Cute last night and I really enjoyed a lot of the stories in it! I hope you enjoy it too!

[@micheller1108]

I have the Cruel Prince arriving in the mail soon. It's one of my most anticipated books!

[@maren1772]

I love Holly Black’s books too! I have read like almost all of her books. I just picked up a Doctor Who book that she wrote, and it was super fun!!

[@louisa2830]

This might be weird coming from a stranger, but it's such a great motivation that you already posted 2 videos this year, it makes me want to tackle my own goals:D

[@erinsmith9069]

Decided to stop lurking after watching your videos for a few years. Hello! I love your videos and I'm new to Holly Black's writing (just finished The Coldest Girl in Coldtown and loved it). I have Cruel Prince and Meet Cute sitting here on my kitchen table and can't wait to dive into them :) Thanks for making such awesome videos, and that dress/makeup looks amazing.

[@georgiavarley4414]

cruel prine and coldest girl are so good! x

[@exlibriszoey3068]

I just finished Cruel Prince and I think it was actually wrapped up well enough for me to not be like GAAAHHHH but enough for me to be super excited when the second book comes out

[@ReadingMissFroggy]

Your pronunciation of Marieke Nijkamp is probably the best one I have heard so far from someone who is not Dutch!

[@jamieepf9806]

ReadingMissFroggy I agree! Hailey in bookland pronounces it pretty well too!

[@abbycraig6914]

OMG that's the exact same reason I bought Cruel Prince as well!!! 😂 My copy is the opposite of yours though! I got mine at B&N and it's a black dust jacket and it's white and gold naked! Gorgeous either way, and it's Holly Black!!! Yay faeries!

[@TheBookishCrypt]

OMG! I loooved Reign the Earth!

[@NerdWatchJinxy]

Booksplosion is on FIRE this year!!! 😱💚

[@winterLilies]

I just finished Eleanor Oliphant and I loved it so much! PS: that eye make-up tho! perfection

[@xzonia1]

Your book videos make me so happy! Thanks for the recommendations! :D

[@artwriter76]

Great vid, Kat! I'm looking forward to Reign the Earth the most!

[@Pyjamab0i]

Such a huge fan Kat! Loved the video and I for sure want to check out some of these books and BOOKSPLOSION is always fun to join in on. Thanks again for another awesome video

[@rachelboole55]

I read Autoboyography in one sitting too!! I started it on Sunday afternoon and didn't finish till 4.30am the next morning...I loved it 😍👍🏻

[@xreadingsolacex]

LOVE, HATE, AND OTHER FILTER IS SO GOOD YOU'RE GOING TO ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT

[@ana_gvozdenovic]

Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is actually great! I was pretty iffy about it at first, because I kind of disliked the main character at the begining, but she'd really grown on me by the end of the book I'm so glad someone on booktube is finally talking about this book!😄

[@shutupnread]

before i let go is definitely on my TBR!! i read her first book and it was freaking amazing! and i also got the cruel prince which i am SO excited to read it asap! but i am also in the same boat - debating if i should pick it up or wait till it gets closer to the 2nd book release

[@biagoncalves99]

queen of make up and nails matching the book covers!

[@melaniedelmo5249]

When Kat said"I recommend this site called TV tropes that you probably shouldn't visit unless you have like five hours to waste on it." I felt a little attacked??? 😂😂😂😂

[@thebookbelle]

I'm sooo excited for The Cruel Prince - been hearing amazing things about it! Eleanor Oliphant was one of my favourite books of last year - one of the real surprises of 2017! x

[@christineconn3526]

Your whole look is life omg I was like that eyeshadow then I was like that hair then I was like that outfit and I'm just SHOOK girl

[@Katytastic]

thank youuuuuuu

[@tpstps85]

Dont forget those red nails!

[@sullyg3841]

When the video takes you back to the joyous memories of yesterdays thumbnail tweet! Like always, great job on the work and dedication you put into each video! Appreciated ✊🏼

[@moonstone-dreamer6512]

first of all love the eye shadow!! i'm excited for reign the earth and unearthed the cruel prince may have to buy on kindle even though i love the book cover, but it is the cheapest option lol books are so expensive now adays i remember when they used to be like £4 or £5 lol!

[@malihareza5006]

Omg I remember watching your videos a couple of years ago and your voice hasn't changed

[@BooksBobs]

Your enthusiasm and description for Unearthed definitely has me interested!! The waywards children series sounds amazing too!! Been seeing it everywhere

[@fabulousbookfiend9127]

I enjoyed Eleanor Oliphant, I think I talked about it on my channel alongside YA books as well, plus it's set in Scotland so had a little taste of home! I'm very excited to read Meet Cute & also been toying with the idea of trying a Christina Lauren because I know I would enjoy them...

[@isabellekratz844]

i love the fall out boy beats in this and can't wait for the new album to drop!

[@camillarenaereyes5168]

Hi Kat! Have you heard of Everless by Sarah Holland? Just finished reading it. Really great book. Would love to watch your review for it! 😊

[@bookaholicbanter]

I had Eleanor Oliphant out from the library. I thought I read it but just realized it was one of those books I never got around to before it was due back. I just put it back at the top of my tbr list.

[@avsambart]

Eleanor Oliphant has been read by quite a few people on bookube.

[@Katytastic]

oh cool, i guess i just haven't seen any YA booktubers review it! do you have any suggestions of who to check out?

[@helentriestodothings628]

Yay! I love it when you upload videos! I’m also really digging your makeup!

[@chalyndajackson9384]

I miss your cooking videos =/ when will you do those again?

[@kelandhershelves]

I got Elinor Oliphant is Totally Fine in a Book of the Month box a few months ago, and now I'm even more excited to get to it!

[@lambykins1471]

I read Eleanor Oliphant last week- IT WAS AMAZING!!!!

[@Storm_Wolf]

KAT! Are you gonna bring back cooking with kat this year?? Please?? I have rewatched the ones you have like 3 times each at least

[@gcandela86]

Love your videos. You have such a spunky personality, love it!

[@jacullyhunter3975]

Great Haul!

[@thejenmath]

I stared at your eye makeup the entire video because it looks so good. Such skill!

[@shaniadavis3104]

That sneaky bit of Fall Out Boy! Love it

[@erinmariecece]

I love that feeling when you just can't stop reading a book until it's over and then you cry because there is no more book left. *sobs*

[@chunkychips48]

Kat your book buying skills, makeup skills and nails are killer!!!

[@courtneytanner693]

I literally am in love with your top and your ring!!!!!!!!!!

[@DontStopReadin]

“...or I guess I can explain it to you.” 😂😂

[@thoughtsofkatie5592]

I'm almost done with Meet Cute and I am loving it! It's very diverse.

[@christinfishback4245]

Autoboyography was one of my favorites too, I read it in like 3 hours I couldn´t stop either

[@jodi885]

That Cruel Prince cover 😍

[@HollyByGollyBooks]

I BOUGHT THE CRUEL PRINCE THE DAY IT CAME OUT AND HAD NO IDEA UNTIL NOW HOW GORGEOUS IT WAS UNDER THE COVER!!!!! The year long wait for the next book sucks and almosssstttt makes me want to wait to read it, but that's just not going to happen hahahaha.

[@ilsenleon2378]

Omg please read The Cruel Prince!! I loved it so much! Yea but I am scared for the year because it’s just so long of a wait! Also I’m excited for all the other books in this haul! I read the ARC of The Cruel Prince but I need that hardcover copy!!

[@sa0101-k7v]

Yessssss new video

[@ketzalysosa712]

'The Cruel Prince' was my first read this year, starting off good, every other book I've read after it has failed to reach its level😍 Even 'Everless' couldn't reach it.

[@richiefonseca]

Fall Out Boy ? YASSSS Kat I'm shaking right now

[@ReadByJess]

Your nails look amazing! Hope you enjoy all of these books - I enjoyed Meet Cute a lot!

[@Katytastic]

thank you!

[@laceybeanreads]

Always love your book hauls Kat! ❤️

[@Sammy0410]

Loving the nails!

[@TeaBooksAndTazmyn]

Jen Campbell, Lauren at Reads and Daydreams and Jeans Bookish Thoughts have all read and reviewed Eleanor Oliphant!

[@StudioLindsay]

Meet Cute sounds adorable, like the title implies!

[@lpsfantasytv9163]

My book buying is crazy i brought 2 books yesterday my dads like no more books but he still gets me more 😂😂

[@marielle1448]

Kat! Could you do a favorite audiobooks video???

[@Katytastic]

i'm planning one soon! just need a few more awesome audiobooks to really fill out my list :)

[@carolinesromancereads]

I love your makeup Kat! Can you do a makeup tutorial? I also love your videos

[@ceeliiacg]

I love that ring. Really. I need it.

[@LaMortesAbyss]

First book haul of my new year. The Harry Potter series -which I've read before, but got beautiful golden-engraved box of the hardbacks. Next are the Dark Materials series which I've not read before. I decided to get them after spotting Pullman's Book of Dust in my local supermarket. P.S. Love the smouldering thumbnail.

[@ScienceGeek23]

Can't wait to read Cruel Prince! I need more Holly Black in my life

[@alaynabrower2202]

I loved all of the books that you showed today! I can’t wait to read some new books for 2018!

[@nenerson1195]

I'm excited for Beneath the Sugar Sky. And what a cover!

[@livnoe6431]

I'm obsessed with your makeup in this video !!

[@stephpiano2908]

I've been without internet for 2 weeks so I'm on a Kat video binge rn - I've missed her videos so much, it always feels like coming home watching my fave Booktubers 💕

[@Katytastic]

welcome back to the internet! XD

[@itsovernerdthousand9701]

Wouldn't the singular of elementae be elementus?

[@mcs-books9075]

Haha Eleanor Oliphant is quite big on the British side of Booktube because it's been up for one of our book prizes, you might enjoy checking out some videos reviewing it - it sounds like a really great read! I'm glad you 'enjoyed' it

[@ellierobson8188]

I'm not even 30 seconds in but OMG HOLD ME TIGHT OR DON'T that album is slaying so far!

[@tsunqueencos]

I have Autoboyography and haven't read it yet but now I'm totally gonna go settle on the couch with it

[@Katytastic]

hope you enjoy!!

[@leaveit2amber330]

These books look so interesting!!!

[@jananiananthanarayanan4794]

LOVE YOU SO MUCH KAT!!! I WAS HONESTLY very scared WHEN YOU CALLED YOUR LAST HAUL, YOUR 'LAST HAUL'. But I am SO EFFIN HAPPY :')

[@SuperAwesomeJoshua]

a new video yay!

[@josesilva-kv6fs]

the whole I been looking at your books behind you and wondering what books you have I don't.... lol

[@MariaMightReadThat]

Reign the Earth sounds so good! Thanks for putting it on my radar. :) And I've been hearing non-stop great reviews about The Cruel Prince. It's so tempting to read it now but I think I'm going to wait until closer to the sequel too. Haha the constant series struggle...

[@kookykasiareads2587]

THAT COVER OF THE CRUEL PRINCE OMG

[@StarsAndEmbers]

I wanna read The Cruel Prince so bad!

[@katherinerivera3486]

Ahh you need to read the cruel prince! It's so amazing, it was the first Holly Black book I've ever read and I'm totally sold on her :)

[@SamanthasBooks]

Meet Cute sounds adorable!

[@MonsterBloodBooks]

IMO, The Cruel Prince was good, and while its worth most of the hype, I’m fine with a year long wait. It’s finished up nicely so there’s no loose ends that will irk me until then

[@thepokepoet9482]

All of these covers : 😍😍

[@paperback_cat]

Trilogies are so 90s :P

[@daniellewagner7140]

Your makeup looks so beautiful!!!

[@chvp4605]

Awesome haul as always alsoo that eye make thoooo😍💕💕

[@emilyw.3482]

I just bought a new book because I have no willpower.... Yay for book addicts!

[@tessavery2151]

Meet Cute and Love, Hate and Other Filters both sounds amazing!

[@allyssabates3408]

I loved autoboyography.

[@Kitkatscanread]

The funny thing as as soon as you showed Unearthed I got an email saying my copy has been dispatched haha.

[@JiixBooks]

Eeeep soo excited for Love Hate and other filters

[@xRescueMe]

Haha it's so funny to hear you say Marieke Nijkamp.

[@arcanethink]

Read Malazan Book of the Fallen series. It is Fantastic!

[@caspianalexanderyzaguirre3875]

I love your videos! More books for my TBR! P.S. are you going to do another 24 hour read-a-thon soon? I loved the last one you did. :)

[@lesliehellokitty1996]

I don't really use twitter but I still want to be involved with booksplosion book of the month. I do follow all three of you on instagram, would you guys consider updating information on instagram or youtube more?
