ON MY SHELF! [Book Tag]

[@jessethereader]

Yay! This was fun to watch. I actually laughed when you picked up Allegiant, because I know that you were pretty frustrated with it. xD

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

oh fallen... *shakes head* why art thou being turned into movie

[@ashleydelgado4568]

Fallen is such a bad book.

[@ashleydelgado4568]

***** I feel like it was a poorly executed story line and the characters annoyed me. That's just my opinion, some people have really enjoyed the book actually.

[@elentiya2532]

fallen is a terrible book

[@chantellebrant7492]

in your opinion o-o

[@JustEssayIt]

"SUCH SHELVES, MUCH BOOKS." Truer words have never been spoken.

[@hermionemalfoy2099]

Katy:**Picks up allegiant* Me:**Starts crying, bawling, screaming, running around yelling at Veronica Roth** WYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[@NevilleEvil26]

You should do an "underrated books" video !

[@PagebyPaige]

I have been avoiding the Percy Jackson series for a while. However, everyone seems to really enjoy it. I might read the series sometime this summer. That little blurb you gave made me a little more excited to try it.

[@marleyvogel3255]

DO IT! they are literally my favorite books ever and I'm a teenager

[@onforhours]

Please read them! They are sooooo good! P.S. You will definitely without a doubt cry whilst reading the Heroes of Olympus series.

[@moonbeambeam]

Read them!!! Also read the Heroes of Olympus series as well!

[@PagebyPaige]

Lol...I will see when I am able to get around to reading them this summer. :)

[@abigail6394]

I think I was the only one that hated those books.

[@dylanbooks]

bookshelf game is so damn strong

[@artwriter76]

I'm almost afraid to say this, but I actually like the Fallen series. I thought that it was a decent first book, and the series got better with each book. They are slow to read, the chapters are long, but that is made up for with rather large font. Rapture, the fourth and final book in the series is, I think, the best one, and the ending is just beautiful. It couldn't have ended any other way, in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, though. You'll have to come to your own decision on whether or not to read it.

[@kylaadkins3727]

I totally agree! It is one of those series where you have a long build up, but the last book is beautiful and worth all of the time you spent on the other 3. It has so many twist and turns, it makes you constantly re-evaluate your guesses. The story is truly one of those simple love stories, but with excitement at every page.

[@artwriter76]

Kyla Adkins Yes! Completely agree! It is well -worth the read, in my opinion.

[@Mk-1379]

i also agree... the fourth book is my favorite and it doesnt end in a expected way and yes the first book did take a while to read but it was worth it for where the story continued in the next books

[@olgaguevara7321]

You're not the only one. I actually sometimes shake my head when I like a book that is trashed by others, but then they like a book and I'm like... huh? Why would you like that book. It all comes down to taste, and jumping into bandwagons. People criticize Fallen, and if it's enough people, they will make you feel bad for liking it. I thought Fallen was nice. I loved the description, it is what mainly enchanted me. I'm not usually big on description, but this book made me fall for it. It was beautiful and dark. And fallen angels... that should be enough.

[@artwriter76]

Olga Guevara I know what you mean. I mean, I'm trying really hard to read Throne of Glass, because of all the hype it's received, but I'm struggling with it. I don't know why. Maybe because so many people like Dorian and I don't. I don't particularly like Chaol either, but there is a Team Dorian and Team Chaol, just like there was with Twilight and Edward and Jacob, and it's rather annoying. Anyway with all the hype this series has, I feel kind of bad that I'm not really liking it. I had to stop reading the novellas, because I just didn't like them.

[@readerlymusings]

Awesome video, Kat! Loved all your comments on the different books and finally getting to see at least part of all your bookshelves in one shot!

[@Lclairego]

Fallen gets SO much better I PROMISE by the end you're on the edge of your seat!

[@maciejayne9231]

Fallen gets much better when you stick with it. It took me maybe 5 tries to get into it but when I did I was quite surprised about how good it was. Try and give it another shot please!

[@nomsBOOKS]

I had the exact same feeling about the Percy Jackson series. Loved it so much! Still haven't read the spin-off series, but I'm hoping that since those events take place after the Olympians series they will be a little more YA and include some more serious subjects..

[@howdoesanaeroplane]

They do. They're better than the first series, in my opinion

[@Sara-xo2hp]

i read fallen like ages ago and i really enjoyed it. i can understand at first the story doesn't really seem good, but it is, to me at least. but i guess if you tried to read like 100 pages and you didn't like it at all, then you shouldn't pick it up again because you'd only waste your time. i love your videos by the way! (sorry for my english, i'm italian and i'm still learning!)

[@MarenReads]

I TOTALLY agree with you, Unearthly is amazing. Just give it a shot people! It's not your typical angel YA book.

[@ilOVExHPx3]

Loved the thing you said about life being too short to be reading mediocre books. Completely agree! This was really fun to watch & totally agreed w/ your thoughts on Allegiant.

[@lisalbers230]

I like this shot much better than the usual!

[@theresabookinmytea9760]

your shelves.... so beautiful!! I wish I had that many books!!! and I agree! the Percy Jackson series was surprisingly accessible and entertaining!

[@BingeReader19]

Fallen series....the first book and the last book is worth reading the two middle ones were just okay.

[@VanessaMarieBooks]

I agree, I liked the first and the last but the two in the middle I didn't see a huge need for them.

[@RTbookworm]

Omg this video made me feel so nostalgic. It’s been like 5 years since my paranormal angel faze where I binge read angel books all summer and it was so weird seeing some of those again. Totally agree with what you said though, Fallen is so awful (even back then I thought so) but I remember loving Unearthly and have the other two somewhere on my book shelf. Definitely need to get round to those :D

[@Jeremysepicreads]

Please give fallen another shot it really is a great story i think you will love it... also on a sidenote lauren kate's writing is beautiful if you love beautiful writing this book is for you kat :D

[@jovanalukic4332]

YES! I can't agree more!

[@celloplayer5714]

I know I really loved it

[@obsessedwithbooksandmusic8967]

+Gamergirl What's it about?

[@twilightsagalover919]

Fallen is actually a very good series over, the first book is like all fluff until the very end really, even the author's said that lol, so you have to push through that :)

[@briannavazquez1618]

I'm currently reading Unearthly and I love it so far!!!

[@ProfessorCue]

WOW, YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON I HAVE SEEN TALK ABOUT UNEARTHLY IN A BOOKTUBE VIDEO. Granted, I have not been watching booktube for long, BUT STILL, IT'S A FANTASTIC SERIES. I still need to read the third book TBQH. I started it, got fairly far, but then dropped it because I got caught up in other things books...I;m gonna try and pick it back up soon. But excellent video!!

[@AntuanettaSweet]

You're so so beautiful and funny! Just incredible :)) And, of course, I love your bookshelfs! ))

[@Grahaminator1]

I though the first Fallen book was just okay. It took me awhile to get through it and then I decided to pick up the second... It was so good!! Definitely worth trudging slowly through the first book.

[@samidabunbun6155]

I absolutely love Fallen. I think it was an amazing series.

[@FidahMonster]

You should do more videos in this angle! A fresh new change!

[@coolJessie123]

Great thumbnail! :) hilarious bloopers as always and you completed Ariel's challenge!

[@lyddiemoon]

Omg you're learning KOREAN??? I love you even more, of course because i'm korean :DD!!

[@LezbeOswald]

I really enjoyed Fallen. I know you like Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and I found both series were relatively similar. DoSaB was better, but Fallen is really good too. I think it just takes a couple more books to get into it.

[@danyval2448]

I loved the fallen series and you should give it another chance!

[@harrypotteravenclaw]

unearthly has been on my tbr for so long, this is really making me want to pick it up though..

[@missOhdrey]

Honestly, I think if you did that for every book in your bookshelves I'd still watch it. xD

[@missbooks3590]

I really like Fallen! The beginning is like, MEH, but then it gets REALLY good. You must give it another shot!

[@KarinaEE]

love this tag so much! so funny how you got to pick so many much talked about books! haha ♡

[@ellieobrien7352]

Can you do a video where you pick 1 book for each genre and review it.

[@sandyreadsalot]

This is such a cool tag! I really liked the Unearthly trilogy and I enjoyed the way it ended. :D

[@0XBlondie96X0]

Lol! I've read pretty much all the books (except the Korean one of course). I agree about there being too much info dump in Allegiant. I liked Fallen, but then again I'm rarely picky when it comes to books.

[@Goodbooksandgoodwine]

Unearthly is so great! Team Tucker! I love The Lightning Thief -- I need to finish the series though.

[@olgaguevara7321]

"Give me some of that serum, yo". Hahaha! Loved this because after reading Allegiant, I felt exactly the same way.

[@starrynight5425]

I read Fallen and I really liked it at first it's not very interesting but after a while the book (in my opinion) got very interesting. I think you should finish it

[@FreakinHateGale45]

I'm not going to lie, I may have died a little when my tweet popped on the screen.

[@readerlymusings]

I felt the same way when I saw mine! :D

[@Rosie-yt8nd]

I must say I ike the fallen series. I agree that it's kinda slow to read but it gets better once the story starts properly. And it gets better and more interesting with every book and the third one is really interesting. So yeah you should definitely read more and hang in there because it gets better.

[@ImogensTypewriter]

I didn't get on with the Divergent series :( Dem shelves though.

[@nevenajeremic7727]

I loved Fallen series. I know that the second book is kinda slow, but give it a chance. Third book was AMAZING. I read it in a day. It's fantastic. Actually one of my favorite books ever. Give it another shot. You won't regret it, I promise.

[@graceellenmessimer6805]

Unearthly caused me so much trouble oh my gosh. I saw the synopsis in a library one time and had put it back because I couldn't carry anymore books and forgot to mark the name or author. And then I spent a year searching the library for it with only the synopsis to help me. It took a long time, but I found it and I love the series so much!

[@emilywebster7655]

I love your bloopers! They're hilarious!

[@KyriannaDodge14]

I'm actually surprised you didn't enjoy Fallen. I couldn't put it down and I read the first three books in two days. The beginning was alittle slow but I fell in love with it. I was actually inspired to write my own paranormal book after reading this series! I hope you one day try again. I think you'll end up being surprised.

[@Dancedance337799]

Love the angle you're using!

[@javiergonzalez2607]

I love the fallen series and defend it to no end. If it wasn't for this book I wouldn't be the reader I am today. This book got me in to loving ya and its not the best but it has a place in my heart forever.

[@icantbetamedx12]

Totally agree with your opinion on allegiant. I couldn't even finish it.

[@HeartlandHunny]

Yay, my numbers were the first ones! :-) Also, how awesome is this tag for helping you rediscover an awesome bookmark that you'd forgotten about? Good deal!

[@maceyjohnson6035]

I've been avoiding the Percy Jackson series also even though I'm in middle school! I usually read YA so I'm a bit iffy about it but I'll get to it one day!!!

[@nonokaminami6029]

Fallen series is amazing it really gets better, the witting is amazing and it's a love story that I will always remember. Please try it out ( torment the sequel isn't so good)!

[@kaite6348]

Kat. Your hair game is out of control. It's just, like, SO gorgeous in all your videos. Quit it. Seriously. It's not fair to the rest of us.

[@delaneyhenton2458]

Fallen is such a great book and the entire series is amazing!! I really think u shld give it a try and if u do get rid of the book I will take it!!

[@Tahonamaya]

Your whole look today reminds me a lot of Marina and the diamonds... especially in her Electra heart look!

[@padfootandprongs07]

lol Fallen is absolutely horrible in my opinion :|

[@PeruseProject]

I second this

[@liz1dancer]

PeruseProject I third this

[@zoemaciver8446]

Agreed!

[@loganmathis8964]

I forth this! And fifth just incase anyone wants to fifth this.

[@EmiliaPls1]

I fifth this

[@jazzmine2813]

SO WEIRD, when you were talking about Unearthly being an angel book, my mind wandered to thoughts of Fallen, and then whatdya know, Fallen is in this video too! So eerie. I personally loved Fallen so much - in the beginning. And then the further I got into the book and as it revealed that it was about angels I got really mad at how predictable and cliche it was and gave the book away when I finished.

[@courtneyburton5549]

Your hair is looking super fab!

[@namla777]

i loved fallen, got it to get my mind of exams and every new book from the series i only read during exams. So the relieve i got from the book was great and it was a easy read

[@nutshellreadsandwrites]

Your bookshelf is amazing!

[@ZeinaIan]

I enjoyed fallen but I was 15 when I read it and I'm 19 now so I don't know if I'll like it now I mostly liked it for the history which is why the third book was my favourite but to be honest the two main characters didn't really stick out to me and my favourite character was Cam who unfortunately Lauren Kate didn't take any where. I will watch the movie though just to see how they portray the book. :)

[@itsmandersworld9645]

Yay!! I just like listening to you talk! :)

[@beffiesue2384]

17 & 9 is one of my fav Fey Authors & series !!

[@oriyanbarnes]

fallen is one of my favorite series and i just love it and i think you should try to read it also because of the rest of the series which is amazing and because of the movie. i really suggest you will give it another try

[@Ely-ly6bc]

I read fallen and I didn't "love" it, but I didn't dislike it either. Torment... Didn't like that one... But then we have passion! And that one is just amazing and the last book is also great, so don't give up! It's worth it eventually :)

[@colimae2097]

I read the unearthly series in like three days so good.

[@Jeremysepicreads]

you should totally give fallen a second shot it's an amazing story :D

[@sweet2u22]

I've read the first three? books in the Fallen series and I feel a need to read the last one because THERES ONLY ONE LEFT but it's just so mehhhhh. And they're making a movie of it?

[@rozemarijnkoster3540]

If you are going to get rid of the fallen book could I maybe have it? I read the book on my kindle and absolutely loved it but couldnt find a physical copy anywhere

[@celloplayer5714]

So many books (faints because of the beauty) ❤️

[@ritam1471]

I thought that the lightning thief would be childish, but you're right! The series is awesome!!!!!!

[@MsVampirate18]

Hey! I just noticed u have tattoos. They r so cute, i know its not book related but would u be able to do a video on them?

[@taylorviebranz3431]

i actually LOVED allegiant. i didnt like insurgent as much. but i never really ever like second books in trilogies as much as the other two books usually. but i agree. i absolutely HATED the dual POV

[@wafiyathoba1229]

THE UNEARTHLY TRILOGY YASSS

[@BookGossiper]

YES! Unearthly is amazing. I still need to read the last book though :) Ooo. Fallen. Yeah I never liked it. I don't know how to feel about it becoming a movie. The book was horrendous. btw, I really love your shirt Kat! :D

[@Elinnlundberg]

I find clockwork prince mediocre. Should I put it down? Honestly I kind of fought my way through the first book and now the second one just because a want to read the third one cuz the cover is beautiful!

[@BooksAnonymous]

The last book is amazing, keep fighting through. (:

[@tinymonbaby1106]

i read Unearthly last month and i loved it!!!!!

[@endlessfairytales]

Your bookshelves are amazing!

[@kitchournas]

I had the exact same reaction to Allegiant even up to the "Yes please, I would like some memory serum for that, that would be great."

[@chloestyles3300]

I'm so jealous of how many books you've read, I don't have enough time plus I don't have enough space for lots of book shelves. I really love your vids I have a massive list now of books to get X

[@chloestyles3300]

Also the Fallen Series gets so much better with every book!

[@JeonToki]

katytastic i love all your videos and i love all the books that you put in every video you shoot KATYTASTIC is AMAZING MY IDOL ☺

[@Singalong54321]

Loved the fallen series.

[@caitlinconnor2012]

At the start of Fallen I wasn't so keen on it but as I got further it gets much better

[@craftykid1204]

I LOVED FALLEN!!!!!!! Please give it a chance. You have to read further into the book.

[@nuchaoliveira]

Your hair looks great like this!

[@kayladangelo2306]

You look like Lily Aldrine from How I Met Your Mother

[@TechBabe32]

I love your bookshelves, might

[@hardesttwihardfan]

what are those heart things near your elbow lol?? they're really cool tho! :]

[@RachelKe]

To have all those books, I am so jealous

[@vanmartin5670]

percy jackson really got me into reading, it was amazing to me, the first time i really enjoyed reading

[@bishfish7726]

I would not recommend reading the Fallen series. Not only have I heard many negative reviews about it, I tried picking it up and I did not enjoy it at all. Just a heads up. Another great video!

[@intolerablefeeling]

Have you read the Sweet Evil Triology by Wendy Higgins? You should try it out, it's amazing!

[@TooMuchMiracle]

you are so hilarious im new to your channel but i already followed you on most of all your social media and ive watched alot of your videos and thumbs up your video

[@albertekarlsen1329]

In the start of the video i spotted the divergent serie on the shelf, and i just prayed that you would get to tell about Allegiant!!! And you did!!!! My wish came true!! XD

[@rominaskywalker6880]

i looove love love this angle!

[@saradallapalma1997]

Have you ever read The Lorien Legacies series? Nobody know it

[@phoebeshea90]

I'm just curious, do the characters in Percy Jackson age throughout the books like in Harry Potter? Or do they stay about the same age throughout the series?

[@missash70]

I've read all of the Fallen books, and the first is the best of them all. I read the rest out of boredom and for the romance of it, but yeah not that great. One book (spoiler) was about all of her past lives, and it took me a long time to get through it haha. You've made me want to go back an re-read Unearthly now, and then read the next two! I sort of forgot about it, but I still remember the ending haha. I'll also have to get Percy Jackson... I've always put off reading those but you booktubers are making me reconsider :P
