[@macieleann1990]

[@xeniav798]

Omg a new katie video! My day is 10 times better now!

[@haileyfussell]

For spooky season you should get a “bleeding” candle stick where it lights and bleeds red! They’re really pretty, I got mine from At Home

[@akshitaviswanathan]

omg a 1 hr long summer ween reading vlog what could be better? ❤

[@danielamarisa2946]

I just found your channel a few weeks ago and I'm so glad, you have been my comfort KZbinr ever since. Thank you so much for doing these videos 💌

[@iriswarnaar4665]

Sitting at my desk with a cup of coffee while watching one of katies reading vlogs is like my favorite thing ever

[@xoanna08]

Katie’s 1h videos are my absolute favourite 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@allie4435]

you should TOTALLY read the turn of the key by ruth ware! it’s hands down my favorite thriller and I still think about the twist to this day, two years after reading it. England, spooky house vibes! I think you’d love it

[@laurenmiller2841]

You not having not been spoiled for the twist in Gone Girl was so refreshing, I loved following your POV as you read it completely unbiased, and then you reading A Dowry of Blood, which I loved---Followed, keep up the great work!

[@thomberlychannel]

I’m the same way with thrillers. I wish there were more books that had pure spooky vibes the whole way with strong character and plot.

[@alexandramiehe3437]

so sad i missed Summerween this year.. maybe i'll just make my own version of it in August! omg that pumpkin bread looked so good! we need the recipe please!!!

[@crowchetcreations4888]

Augtober!!

[@vickilimbocker2505]

Books are beautiful to look at. So it’s fine to have them on read or unread in your shelves. There are 5 months left in the year so if you read 6 or 7 books per month you would put a nice dent in your physical TBR. You can do it. Btw you have some excellent books to read. Sword of Kaigen is so good. Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre soo good. So many waiting there for you. Have fun!

[@stephmariem]

Your spooky vlogs are truly the best, nothing beats them

[@IFarore]

Huge fan of the Portal to the Cat Dimension shirt! I also adored Dowry of Blood

[@katieisreading]

thank you! it’s one of my fav shirts to dig out for any spooky occasion haha! also so glad you also liked a dowry of blood!❤️

[@laurenbanister6805]

just found your channel and am loving it!!!! i’ve been in a reading slump for sooo long and watching your vids is getting me excited to read again. okay back to binging ur channel now 🤪

[@xlunadxll]

I recently just finished A Dowry of Blood as well and it was heartbreakingly stunning. One of my top books of the year 🩶

[@elihewsonsgf]

i read gone girl at 13 😭😭 and literally loved it so much and i couldn’t stop thinking about it.

[@ladansemakabre]

i should comment about the books but the cooking part was so satisfying to watch omg

[@KaitlynJMoran]

The Cask of Amantiallo is so GOOD, I remember reading it in English class and it was amazing and just ugh. Highly recommend

[@Brahmsian]

That pumpkin bread looked so good…wow

[@SelenaRamona]

After being opposed to reading Gone Girl for years (even after going to school in the town it was filmed in), you have ultimately convinced me to pick it up. I can’t wait to get into it! Thank you 🧡

[@beccaelainex]

dropped everything to watch this i adore your reading vlogs

[@maniashokray3387]

Katie in summer: let's read spooky books😂😂❤

[@just_vibes6532]

An hour long vlog of Katie reading spooky books? sign me up!!! Also Congrats again on 50k subs!!!💚💚

[@makaylaxd4954]

Oh my god you freaking out in your dark/ candlelit room because you heard something scream outside and immediately getting scared and turning the lights on 😂🖤

[@chaptercarys]

this video had such ✨immaculate✨ cosy spooky vibes 🖤

[@katieisreading]

thank you so much🥺🥺🫶🏻

[@Kittyzero13426]

Congrats on getting to 50k Subscribers very well deserved. Your videos are very comfy vibes to watch and your book recommendations are always fun to check out to see if we have the same reading styles. I have the same problem with thrillers so I never really grab those type of books. Hoping to do Summerween next summer I just totally forgot about it this year but at least I got some book recommendations for October. Hoping for the best on the rest of your reading month!

[@iuliamonicacostea]

The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas is one of the best gothic, haunted house stories I’ve read in a while. 🖤

[@zoeyharper191]

You should try doing a series or maybe some videos on color coded books. Like black and white, red,blue etc. or even make some videos on your favorite books you have from your childhood. Or have your mom or dad choose your tbr. Or have your favorite booktubers choose your tbr? IDK i think it would be good. You know how much i love you! Keep slaying Katie-Zo

[@clarissacastillo3882]

I highly recommend The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware for your next thriller/ spooky/ paranormal read. I read this a couple of years ago via audiobook (highly recommend this format) and I still think about it to this day!

[@r.j.williams]

A thriller/kind of horror with a spooky house that I read recently and loved is Let's Play Murder by Kesia Lupo. It's a murder mystery game set in VR where things begin to go wrong, adding to the spookiness. It's got perfect isolated thriller vibes and I thought it was great. It is marked as a horror on Goodreads but it was just a bit unnerving and not too scary which was perfect for me. I would recommend it a lot if you're looking for books with spooky/weird houses in them. Congrats on 50k! I recently found your channel and you've already become a booktuber who I instantly click on new uploads of

[@Novaturient_Liv]

I am definitely not a "thriller girly" either, despite trying Gone Girl. Loved the atmosphere of this vlog! And, congrats on 50k!

[@joobaby4460]

i get so happy when i see that u have posted a vlog

[@whatindiaread]

cackling at how confused you look at the beginning when you say you've been loving puzzles recently 🤣

[@katieisreading]

i was having my moment where i realized i sounded like an old woman (in the best way possible though haha)😭😭

[@ReadingNymph]

Congratulations on 50k!! 🎉 Loved your baking, it looked so good! Glad you liked Dowry of Blood, its such a fantastic book

[@katieisreading]

thank you so much!!🥰🫶🏻 and yes dowry was amazing!!❤️

[@MariasNook]

Ahhh this video got me even more in the mood for autumn than I already was haha

[@ambertaryn]

An hour long vlog from Katie is a gift! I loved watching you do summerween! I want Fall to come already, it’s too hot outside😂.

[@katieisreading]

agreed! me and the 95 degree do NOT mix, i need fall asap😭 but thank you!!

[@PistachioGold]

Horror is my fave genre so all these summerween videos of my faves are a whole 5 course meal ❤❤❤ and congrats to 50k🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@tiachu]

WOOHOO TO 50K, katie!!!!!! 💐💐💐 cheers to thousands more!!!

[@beautifulmama862]

I have a few scary books on my tbr and this makes me more eager to read them lol love this video

[@Theaterg15]

You know I Know What You Did Last Summer is actually a book by Lois Duncan? If not totally check it out on your reading where see it’s very different but keeping the same stuff from it. As for me I still like the movie I know what you did last summer cause saw it back in when it was in theaters in October 97 at age 13 where it was my first rated R including Horror movie in the big screen ever. Was I terrified? Oh yes! Saw it at night. Lots of people were there seeing it and wow lots of screaming alright with jump scares. It was a blast. The movie was number one at box office for three weeks.

[@libbysreadingcorner9564]

Love it when Katie posts a 1 hr long video. Can't wait for the next one Love the vlog, thanks for reminding me that I need to look for new Halloween stuff early this time.

[@CoralTheWitch2023]

Really loved the vlog as always! What a fun week! I love Summerween as well. Congratulations on 50k🎉

[@janet5123]

Loved the summerween vibes and the mushroom 🍄ring you were wearing. I was in Home Goods and Michael’s today looking at the first few Halloween decor items they have. Cracker Barrel had quite the display last week. Congrats on 50K🎉!!! I’m like you with the endings of most thrillers. The ride is awesome til it’s over and then you get mad/feel cheated if you don’t get a reasonably satisfying solution 😂

[@evernotte6802]

a whole hour!! such a treat

[@ace.9521]

can u do a room tour in the future ? would be lovely

[@lillian-rosedelaney1922]

This is exactly what I needed right now 🥹

[@mrodriguez377]

spooky vibes are your thing

[@katieisreading]

this is the highest compliment my friend😭🫶🏻

[@taylorparis7228]

You should watch the Gone Girl movie. Amazing acting from everyone involved! Some say the movie is even better because of the acting alone

[@Alliappalachian]

An hour?? Yes please!! And that pumpkin bread looked soo good 😍 Congratulations on 50k!! ❤

[@katieisreading]

you’re so sweet, thank you!!☺️🫶🏻✨

[@amandadowney953]

Upon watching this summerween vlog...autumn needs to get here asap. Congrats on hitting 50k. 🍁📖👻

[@jessiecampbell2100]

Loved the video! Keep it up because I am here for all of it. Recommendations for thrillers: The Writers Retreat, The Chateau - There are the best two I have read in the past couple months

[@JanAgaton]

omg I THOUGHT YOU READ DOWRY LAST YEAR I'M SO EXCITED

[@vickilimbocker2505]

Your video is the best I’ve seen in quite awhile. The esthetics are perfect. Love your beautiful room and bookshelves. I have a feeling it would be a cozy room to be in. Plus you know how to bake. The 🎃pumpkin bread looked delicious. I do have a spooky book to recommend it is Ghost Story by Peter Straub. I read it quite a while ago but remember that I loved it. Maybe you already know about her, but I recommend Anne Rice’s books about vampires. 🦇 So good and well written.🦉

[@AnnGelze]

I've read Gillian Flynn books and I have to say, she really is very good at what she does. Gone Girl movie is also good.

[@yourangel6601]

LOVE the vibes!!! In Germany it’s raining and cold and I LOVE IT😂😍 I have my autumn in July 🤎

[@melodyk508]

I can't for the life of me listen to an audiobook if I have the physical copy😅 I have no idea where I picked that from .. LOL ... That's the sole reason I don't buy thriller books. Because most of the audiobooks of thrillers are so good. I think you'll like Daisy Darker or The Silent Patient, which are kind of thriller staples.. haha Loved your vlog as usual. Congratulations on 51K. A lot more are yet to join❤

[@gerniahliburd]

This video was cozy, I always love the Summerween vlogs, even though I’m not a big spooky season fan! Also congratulations on hitting 50k!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳I’m so excited for you!!!!! 💙✨

[@xtraespee]

omg this has me so excited for fall timeeee

[@JanAgaton]

i just bought spooky stuff at joann's yesterday too! the 40% off was suuuch a good deal!

[@crystaIz]

this has nothing to do with the actual video but you‘re absolutely gorgeous😫

[@Julie_ao]

Congrats on 50k🎉.

[@dgoz97]

Any tips on finding readathons to join? I feel like I stumble into them or find old ones that aren't going anymore (which could still be fun but less fun) but they are so fun to be a part of!

[@katieisreading]

i feel like i just stumble upon them as well honestly? but i also subscribe to a decent amount of people who also do readathons that interest me so that helps as well

[@marielbellan]

Congratulations on 50k🎉 so happy for you 😊

[@katieisreading]

thank you so much!!🥰🫶🏻

[@noturlili]

OMG YEAAAAH fall vibes I loveeee ❤❤

[@katerynamastero6196]

Wow, such an atmosphere ✨🖤 thanks for the new video!

[@claireblaske4321]

[@madelynnleah23]

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great vlog happy SummerWeen! That pumpkin bread looked delicious 😋 👻🤡😈☠️🎃🔪📚

[@shonnarobertson6462]

Congratulations on 50K subscribers 🎉🎉🎉

[@katieisreading]

thank you so much!!🥺🫶🏻

[@jillray951]

I would try the book Mexican gothic if you haven’t read that. Maybe another lock Every door, the turn of the key, the silent patient or the maidens. Maybe even verity.

[@crookedpages9922]

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein should be a great book which I want to read!❤

[@katieisreading]

ooh i highly recommend!🤍

[@em._.345]

what a cozy video, I love everything about it

[@katieisreading]

oh yay!!🥰 thank you!

[@macaylahbortner913]

Katie!! You should definitely consider reading Little Eve by Catriona Ward. Or anything by her but that one is my favorite!

[@CharlottePrice]

me taking down recs every time katie posts a new video:📝📝📝

[@AdrianasWonderland]

i love your sword earings damn

[@kerstinreads]

"Gone Girl" has been on my. shelves for the past 9 month. Seems like i have to pick it up really soon. What pens are you using for your Journal and are they bleeding threw the pages?

[@alsosmeli]

Love all your cardigans 🫶🏽 where is your green one from? :,)

[@mariyajaveedkhan159]

Would, love to have video on your academic course books

[@nate7081]

i also did gone girl on audio recently, it's such a good thriller!

[@Onechaoticlibrarian]

Greag video as always - love the vibes and the editing is on point. 💖🌸☺️

[@katieisreading]

thank you so much!!🥺🩷✨

[@yqtes4420]

Where did you get the stickers with the pumpkins and witch?!

[@nikki4012]

Such a great video! I love the long vlogs. I'm curious about where you can find the penguin house little black classics. The only ones I see in the US are the entire box sets. Where did you find the individual ones? also congrats on 50k!

[@katieisreading]

thank you so much!!🥰 and i used to order the little black classics off book depository (may she rest in peace) but now you can find them on blackwells!

[@nikki4012]

@@katieisreading Oh thank you!! I've been looking all over for these!

[@CarolineStites-nf6zn]

That cat decoration is so cute. Where did you get it from?

[@Julie_ao]

❤ i love your reading vlog ❤

[@meganlachance4432]

Link that pumpkin bread recipe 👀🎃 Love the video, getting me so amped for fall/halloween

[@spicykatzreads]

loved Gone Girl!! One of my few fav thrillers, also always feel like the twists of most thrillers are so underwhelming. I also gave Episode 13 four stars - it falls into the subgenre of cosmic horror which typically books in that subgenre never have clear cut ending and it's usually hit or miss for me i also didn't like the ending of episode 13. Congrats on 50k Katie!!!!

[@kelseytaylor6314]

Read dowry of blood!! Was sooo delicious ❤

[@oliviasweeney6310]

This is such a good vibe and I’m absolutely obsessed with your vids. I have so many books that I’ve been putting on my fall TBR but maybe I just need to have my own summerween 🎃 Btw I wanted to very kindly let you know that “prose” is a singular word so it’s used in a sentence like “the prose IS very good,” not “the prose are very good.” It’s considered a mass noun so it can’t be pluralized. Love you and the vids! I’m on a katieisreading binge currently! And I’m also in the middle of reading Yona and so so obsessed.

[@stormy726]

Is that the Harry styles cardigan you were wearing when doing your journal spread? Did you make it??? Also loved the way you vlog!

[@nicholeathanitis6735]

girlie, i need to know where you got those bat glasses

[@katieisreading]

ebay!

[@seochangbinsarms]

I bought the final empire bc of u and it came in the mail today🤭 am I reading 4 other books rn? Yes, am I still probably gonna start the final empire anyways? Also yes

[@readingmells]

I’m not sure if anyone’s asked this question yet, but your pumpkin bread looked AMAZING! and I wanna try it! Do you have the link to the recipe you used and if so, could you please share it?! 🤞🎃🍞

[@cattenshi4213]

I also loved Gone Girl, Check the movie out, it's also good, I think Ben Affleck plays the hubby, waiting for the Riley Sager book at my library, been waiting like 5 mons. and I added 3 of the books you suggested to my TBR.

[@bookswithsoph1]

how to sell a haunted house by grady hendrix is so good

[@JohnSaxon-vw5vi]

All I can say is that this video is a great five star 🌟 video love it 🥰 love you and your amazing channel prayers and thoughts to you and your family love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤

[@allie4435]

also where is that bat candle from 👀

[@peditsix]

what editing software do you use to edit your booktube videos??

[@katieisreading]

i use final cut pro!

[@marynbooks0622]

Since you lied Gone Girl you’d like Rock Paper Scissors :)

[@diyaqaim329]

you should read the hacienda by isabel canas, i get spooked very easily so it scared the shit out of me, but the haunted house vibes are immaculate
