[@katieisreading]

:)))

[@nishthagupta1357]

Same

[@craftyreads]

I am so happy you read all three of TIG books, the first book for me was the best! Also we need more books where the chapters are so short, I find I read so much faster when chapters are shorter and more frequent!

[@katieisreading]

yes to more books with short chapters!!! like i will absolutely be more likely to pick up a book with short chapters!

[@pip_nightshade7034]

I enjoyed the inheritance games SO FREAKING MUCH ~ I LiTeRaLlY read the entire series in 4 days 😭

[@BrianSuxx]

i love that these vlogs are always spoil free cuz i always put on ur vlogs to put me in a reading mood and i won’t be spoiled

[@emmie4628]

Binged watching her vlogs. Literally so comforting n claiming i love her vibe ❤

[@ambertaryn]

I loved this vlog! It definitely had cozy and chill vibes! I love the Inheritance Games trilogy. I enjoyed meeting all the characters and solving the riddles/puzzles along with them. I also enjoyed the short chapters, it made it so easy to read! Have a good weekend, Katie!

[@tarareads23]

You have to find the right mysteries that have romances in them. A lot of mystery series has them - whether cozy or more hardcore or in the middle.

[@NeonFrills]

"Just me, my books and my crochet this weekend".... honestly sounds like the perfect weekend 😆 I just finished Anatomy and the romance in it is sooooo cute. Definitely the highlight of the book. Cards on the Table, I constantly get the Truly Devious and the Inheritance Games series mixed up, since they are both YA Mystery trilogies that have monochrome covers LOL.

[@katieisreading]

ah i can’t wait to get to anatomy!! i’m so excited to see what i think

[@hyemiyah]

sadly, i haven't read tig series 😭 but i do love your vlogs and your weekend sounds perfect, no plans, just reading and crocheting. honestly, a dream. i absolutely love your bags. i love the colours you chose.

[@katieisreading]

thank you so much!!!🥺🖤 i literally had such a nice weekend it was amazing

[@annal8043]

Honestly, I think your vlogs are my favorite! They always brighten up my day!

[@katieisreading]

ah yay!! thank makes me so happy to hear🥺🖤

[@Kerstinslife82]

I remember blisters when crocheting. I really need to pick up crocheting again. 🥰 It's been years, but its such a relaxing thing to do while watching a movie in the evening.

[@katieisreading]

yes absolutely agree!! it’s one of my favorite calming activities🖤

[@sierragiannaris2480]

If you did decide to do a different bag each season, a strawberry match color palette would be adorable for spring 👀

[@filipasilva5660]

Hey Katie! Really enjoyed your video! I read The Inheritance Games and I liked it however I was very disapointed with the last book because I am a Grayson stan ahah Also if you are looking for something fast-paced/quick-read I recommend the "Vendetta" series by Catherine Doyle: it has forbidden love, enemies to lovers, underworld with warring families, sort of "Romeo and Juliet meets The Godfather" :D BTW I was the one who recommended the VA series, I am so glad that you are loving it ahah :)

[@HEYGUYSITSDIBBLESSS]

I was seriously HEARTBROKEN when Jamvery happened

[@ava-vx3ou]

Thinking a spoiler free video wouldn't have spoiler comments was a bad idea 😭

[@Jazzy_Stan25]

Same im a grayson stan too and was v sad when i found out that they werent gonna be together

[@booklover6596]

Loved the vlog! Your vlogs are so calming and overall so aesthetically pleasing, Thank you for making my day as you do everytime you post :)

[@katieisreading]

no thank YOU for this kind comment🥺🖤

[@Kittyzero13426]

I can't wait to start this series to see what it is all about since it sounds interesting and keep seeing it all around KZbin.

[@newjeans1998]

I actually just finished reading the whole Inheritance Games series! It was very good, and pretty fast paced

[@silviabernuzzi2753]

I love the music you use on your vlogs, so magical ♡

[@katieisreading]

thanks!!!✨

[@tanyaroberts919]

The Vampire academy series was my favorite series when I was in high school 🏫 😍 🙌

[@TheLazyDaze]

I also like books with short chapters 😂 the bag is looking so good so far!

[@katieisreading]

yes!! short chapter books superiority!! and thank you so much!🤎

[@Whimsicalpages]

I haven’t read the Inheritance Games yet, but it seems really interesting. I did start Vampire Academy and it is SO GOOD. I am kind of upset I waited so long to start it. Can’t wait for your next blog and your thoughts on how the series is concluded!

[@katieisreading]

ooh i’m so glad you decided to start vampire academy and are enjoying it!! it’s seriously my favorite thing right now and i am so sad that i’m already on the last book😭😭

[@janessaboot342]

I love this book series I’m so happy to see her read it!

[@katieisreading]

i’m so happy you love it!!

[@bookworm.bellee]

Almost an hour vlog?!??!?! We've been blessed

[@katieisreading]

☺️☺️🖤🖤

[@manatehrani]

I ordered the first book! I can't wait to read it 😊

[@katieisreading]

ooh i hope you enjoy it!!💚

[@gerniahliburd]

Ah, I’ve been so excited for this vlog! Amazing as always, I’m also Team Jameson 💙

[@_art_by_faith]

I’ve only read the first book in the inheritance games and I think I’m gonna leave it at that but I love the vlog so far And I love listening to it while I paint!! 😊

[@katieisreading]

def think it takes a turn after the first book so probably not the worst idea to leave it at that! but thank you!!🤎🤎

[@Adele975]

I'm so happy about this hour long vlog!!❤️❤️ This was the best way to end my birthday on friday thanks katie🌼🌼💛

[@katieisreading]

again happy birthday, i hope you had an amazing day☺️☺️🖤✨

[@Adele975]

@@katieisreading Awww you are soo kind katie!!...I did thank you💛💛

[@just_vibes6532]

Okay first of all aaaaaaa!!!! I'm so happy to see your vlog. I was so tired and I had just finished the first book of inheritance games, so reading for so long made my eyes hurt since I was reading on my phone. I liked the first book but I've not heard great things about the other two so I'm hesitant to pick them up. I saw somewhere that this series was actually a duology, which I thought makes sense why it feels so streched and has some boring parts. Also your bag looks so cute and the color combination is awesome. I wish I could crochet.

[@katieisreading]

aw yay!! but that would actually make so much sense if this was supposed to be a duology and i’m really interested to see what i would have thought of this series had there only been two books!! and thank you!🤎 i highly recommend getting into chocheting it’s very relaxing!

[@dgoz97]

A perfect video for working on my new reading journal. Also loved how the tassel on your bookmark matched the first book almost exactly in color!

[@katieisreading]

i also always watch yt vids while i work on my journal!! :) and that was definitly intentional haha, i was just sad i didn’t have a red or pink one for the final gambit😭

[@MariasNook]

I literally laughed out loud for a second when you mentioned that yet another kidnapping occured in Spirit Bound hahaha It's really interesting to now see your thoughts on the Inheritance Games series! I personally enjoyed the third book a little more than the first and the second book a little less than the first. The difference in enjoyment wasn't that big though. Not my favourite book series ever (and I'm definitely not as obsessed with it as so many people on the internet are lol) but over all definitely a good, solid read! Though I have to agree that the scale of the mystery and all the people involved became huuuge by the end. And I totally agree about Xander, he was definitely my favourite Hawthorne brother as well! Also, your bag is looking so good already!

[@katieisreading]

one day richelle mead will learn…😭😂 i’m glad we have similar thoughts on the series overall! i think i put too much trust in the internet and i was expecting to also be obsessed. also thank youu!!🤎

[@MariasNook]

@@katieisreading yeeaahhh I kind of had to learn the hard way already that I shouldn't build my expectations for books based on the general internet's opinion. Not because I ended up reading horrible books because they were popular but I've read books that I would've probably enjoyed more, if my expectations simply hadn't been built as high by the internet. It's probably better to trust certain people only, though I need to remind myself of that more often too. It's just so easy sometimes to "fall for" a hype 😬

[@janet5123]

Don’t forget to add your crochet instruction link. 😉 not that I’m capable of actually following directions and making one of those. I enjoy watching your fast motion crocheting though. Oddly satisfying and mesmerizing. 👀 Looking forward to a TOG vlog-❤Empire of Storms!❤

[@RoseM1311]

Katie is exactly what I imagine Avery to look like

[@libbysreadingcorner9564]

After you finish Vampire academy you need to read bloodlines, that is a spin off of Vampire academy. I have the Inheritance game and I am excited to read it. You should also read the good girl's guide to murder soon...

[@ReaderandWriter.]

I tried to get through the Naturals series but could not do it. Not because Im 39 and that's YA because I still love me some YA. Maybe it's her writing. If I'm hesitant on a book, I won't read it. Life's too short.

[@tywrb5184]

god i love ur reading vlogs

[@katieisreading]

thank you so much🥺🖤

[@roumaissabenchalal7796]

I'm currently reading the hawthorne legacy and it's good for now, I just hope it's as good as the first one 🤞🤞

[@katieisreading]

i hope you enjoy it!!

[@karina16]

I bought the whole series and I'm very excited to read it! I've heard very good reviews about the first book and I think I'll probably really like it the best but I have to see what I think about the other two. I sadly had the part of who she ends up with spoiled for me :( so I already know that part. But besides that I've avoided spoilers so I'm happy!

[@katieisreading]

i'm so sorry you also we're spoiled for that part😩 i hope you enjoy it anyway though!!

[@catalinamc9933]

So is the vampire accadamey finished now? Haha you love it so much!! Now we will watch the purchasing of the books, hehe! Oh I love it. I have never read it, but how the we watched the obsession take over! Haha it was good stuff! Anywho, I love the bag your making! Xoxo

[@katieisreading]

i still have one more book until the series is finished (i have indeed already bought physical copies for myself haha)! and thank you!!

[@emberdehaan177]

I loved your bags, what pattern did you use for these?

[@heathers_happily_ever_afters]

If you need more Vampire Academy there's a spin-off series called Bloodlines and it's also 6 books.

[@katieisreading]

i definitely plan to pick up bloodlines once i finish the last sacrifice!!!

[@art3mis86]

i need to get into the final gambit i read both the inheritance game and the hawthorne legacy ! it was a nice ride not a 5 stars but i liked it ! i was wondering as this kinda a first for me watching someone crochet something ( i don’t know if it’s even a word 😅) how do you start it from scratch do you have a plan you’re following ! i love your color schem it’s so pretty !

[@myad.5618]

You can find patterns online, I’ve found tutorials on it on pinterest and KZbin as well, I hope this helped:)

[@katieisreading]

i hope you enjoy the final gambit! and i for the most part i always have a plan im following when i make something, there are so many good patterns that people post on youtube that are super helpful! and thanks!!🤎

[@bella_9822]

Hey loved the video this is a personal favorite of mine. Do you think you would ever be willing to do a room tour?

[@katieisreading]

i don’t think i will do a dedicated room tour, but i do have a vlog where i moved in to this apt from august that kind of has a mini tour!

[@seabear13]

Please give us an updated journal tour :) !

[@katieisreading]

i will be doing one either at the end of this year or the beginning of next year!!

[@monikareadss792]

So happy you enjoyed the series, I hated the first book personally and never continued🤣😇for me the characters anddd even riddles felt lackluster and juvenile... So disappointed, because I expected a new favorite book. But I loved this vlog and how you placed your thoughts🪐🤎

[@katieisreading]

very fair complaints! i think the internet hyped up this series too much honestly😭 but thank youu🤎🤎

[@myad.5618]

Girly, you should try cinnamon on top of your hot chocolate. It’s so good and I think you’d definitely like it

[@katieisreading]

i’ll definitely have to give this a try!!!

[@trw41100]

More crochet content, queen!! ❤

[@katieisreading]

🖤🖤🖤

[@libraslibros]

such a random note, but your handwriting is so satisfying to look at!! i loved this vlog per. usual. 🤎

[@katieisreading]

thank you so much!!!🥺🖤✨

[@KayanKollyn]

Kayan Kollyn ❤ The great fantasy adventure book series by V VN Mangukiya 😊 My favourite book after Harry Potter 😊 Waiting for your review 😊❤❤

[@ReadingNymph]

Hmm I may give this series a miss 🤔 it seems okay but not one I will buy physical copies of... amazing vlog! Love your bag!

[@katieisreading]

yeah honestly the series did disappointment me considering how much hype it has online😳 but thank you!!🤎

[@natalie.thigpen]

i loved this video so much!!!❤️

[@katieisreading]

thank you!!🖤🖤

[@emmadantas8897]

I enjoyed the first book in the series, but the others were just okay for me, I feel like after spending three books with these characters, I should've liked them or cared for them? I only really cared for Xander, Max, and on a smaller scale, Nash and Libby, the rest of the characters were just there.

[@ICT_Pro_Trader]

Keep going 🐦...and thanks for your time with us💓💯

[@katieisreading]

💖💖

[@akshitaviswanathan]

an hour for a series I just finished and want to know what to rate? sign me up! also, I think you should read the good girl's guide to murder series next. I really enjoyed that one.

[@toshioferreyra5969]

Yay finally🥰🤩

[@katieisreading]

🤎🤎🤎

[@emarielalmazar1965]

Hey Katie b I love your vlogs so much any chance you will do more videos on KZbin videos on regular time.

[@katieisreading]

thank you!!🤎🤎

[@cassandralynnreads]

Uhm that was a long ass "mini" tbr homeskillet 😳

[@katieisreading]

yeah… i definitly realized that as i just kept writing more books but it’s too late to change it now😭

[@trinitydaniel9855]

Could we by any chance see more manga huals i am such a huge fan. By the way love the spy family vlog. 🫖🐼🎎🎋🎆🀄

[@rairyie]

the third book was personally the most disappointing for me not just because im team grayson but also bc i genuinely do not care about toby lol. the first book was definitely the best

[@katieisreading]

i also just did not care about toby and am very disappointed that he’s the basically main focus of the second and third books🙃 the first book was where this series peaked for sure!

[@faiththayer7652]

I feel like chapters that short could be super annoying? Idk though. I feel like it would take me out of the story a bit.

[@katieisreading]

it definitely depends on the person! but i feel like short chapters almost suck me into it more, but i can see how it could get a bit irritating to constantly be switching to a new chapter

[@mikaylamueller939]

Put me in a slump not my jam

[@katieisreading]

oh i’m so sorry :////

[@hazal_97]

The ending of the final gambit was so underwhelming.. it was so rushed and felt incomplete…..

[@katieisreading]

very valid! i liked how it wrapped up but i think i was also ready for it to be over at that point haha
