[@moonlane2481]

Katie's that type of person you can bring your date around and she will straight away know if they're a keeper or not. AND she would be right every time.

[@KatieColson]

Is this my favorite comment I've ever received? I am screenshotting this to send to Grace and my mom. I'm obsessed.

[@moonlane2481]

@@KatieColson Haha! I honestly believe this though. You are THAT real of a person!

[@Hillary429]

Reading Taylor Jenkins Reid is like the adorable little boy Alan Kim winning his Critics Choice Award for Minari.. out of nowhere ur just like “oh my god I’m crying” 😢

[@afriendwithfiction865]

Totally agree with the ending of The Maidens. "... okay I guess that's what happened." lol

[@laulauland]

OMG that moment when you stopped making your bed to clean the blinds it's LITERALLY ME. Pretty sure I have undiagnosed adhd.... I wanted to read Finlay after Gabi talked about it and now I want it even more, thanks :') living for your long vlogs

[@katereed4740]

I read all of these books because of how hyped Katie was when reading them!

[@ceciscroissant]

I just finished watching Gabby’s video and got ur notification!! You both are my serotonin boost for these past months🌞✨

[@KatieColson]

That is so funny cause I am watching Gabby's video right now!!

[@KateES1994]

Me: How can one person make tons of videos that I absolutely love it is impossible!! KZbin: I present you Katie Colson 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@tabbiet780]

*whispers* the female narrator for the maidens is Louise Brealey (Molly Hooper on Sherlock). She narrated his last book too 🤓

[@ashleyslittlelibrary]

Julia Whelan is my favorite audiobook narrator too! I'll automatically be interested in a book if she's gonna read it to me 😂

[@KatieColson]

SAME! She is truly out there servicing the community for all of booktube

[@taylorrobinette5516]

“I’m gonna get my shit together by the end of this video, I promise you.” Me, every day in real life 😅 You were right. The content was, as always, enjoyable 👌🏼

[@georgiamariee]

WE love how Alex connected the silent patient with the maidens, I literally screamed, so cool!!!

[@the_dancerjen1773]

I JUST finished Finlay Donavan is Killing It (because of YOUR recommendation in another vid) :) My library had a physical copy! It was super fun with great set up and dialogue! Vero is GREAT!! Looking forward to reading the 2nd one. It reminds me of the Netflix show Dead to Me - but story is quite different. Thanks for the rec Katie!

[@KatieColson]

Aw thank you! I am so happy that you loved it. It was such amazing ride for me.

[@Cloud9Izzy]

Okay so first of all I just discovered your channel and your energy and personality is so heart warming seriously. I’ve watched four of your videos so far, and could not for the life of me figure out who you remind me of! And it just hit me!! Has anyone ever told you you look like Elizabeth from monster house?!?!

[@xochiltrodriguez8705]

I’m a new subscriber, & all I have to say is thank you for your content. I’m currently binge watching your videos. I love your energy!!!

[@KristinKravesBooks]

Finlay Donovan is so much fun!! I cannot wait for the adaptation and for the sequel. The audiobook was everything!!

[@halimamuslimah]

Finlay Donovan Is Killing It, I screamed WHAAAAT so loud at the end that I scared the sh*t out of my 2 dogs! 😂

[@sasharuggiero9541]

That framed drawing that says “take me instead Jolene” 😍😍😍😍😍

[@dr.suezettealoysiaandcarla1664]

✌🏽’Malibu Rising’ awesome read! Nice cleaning into ✌🏽Have a bookish Tuesday Friends

[@shan_john]

I think our mutual hatred for Theo from the Silent Patient makes you my new favorite booktuber. 😂

[@JordansShelves]

I loved Finlay Donovan. So glad it's going to be a series. I just read Malibu Rising and also loved that one. I've read all of TJR's books and she really is a solid writer. Going to read The Maidens next month I think. I would love to see you read Hairpin Bridge in a vlog, if you're planning to read that one. I think I'm going to pick it up sometime this summer.

[@Shelf_Improvement]

Excited! I'm saving this for my cocktail after dinner video!

[@invokesreverie]

You have a new watcher. My dog joined me and loved you 😂😂😂😍❤️

[@kells11290]

I really enjoyed all of these books! Malibu rising was def my fave of the 3! Also glad to hear I’m not the only one who didn’t love the silent patient

[@jray6456]

Your review of Malibu Rising is so on point. I LOVED it so much. The cover is gorgeous and such a vibe. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ Nina might be my new literary crush.

[@Lauren_Jeanne_]

I cannot tell you how much I loved this vlog😍😍

[@MikaAuguste]

AHH can’t wait to watch this

[@jenreadslottie3367]

Finlay is definitely one of my favorites of the year! I loved it! So fun and funny and like you said, thrilling!

[@KatieColson]

Completely agree!

[@BooksWaffles]

You single-handedly convinced me to read Finlay Donavan is Killing It

[@jesstheninth]

New subscriber here, I had to when I saw that beautiful edition of Plain Bad Heroines in the background. I'm reading it now and am obsessed 😃

[@KatieColson]

Right?!? I had to have it. So stunning! Hope you’re enjoying it

[@ipshitajee]

I loved Vero so much !

[@KatieColson]

Yes me too! Can’t wait for the second book

[@vataidalma6855]

Finlay Donovan and The Maidens are two of my favorite books so far this year!

[@johnsaxongitno4life588]

I love the way your really really excited about your books 📚 and your honesty please stay safe and enjoy your reading love your Australia fan John ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rebeccawalter4901]

Omg I NEED to read Finlay Donovan immediately. Your reactions to it are priceless and amazing 😭

[@quinniehalee]

IF I follow my TBR, I’ll have all these read by August! I ADORED Finlay and initially picked it up just because I recognized the cover; zero expectations and was BLOWN away! Pretty sure I also binged it in a day! 🥰

[@aimeemarie6201]

I gave The Maidens a 3.5 stars as well, I guessed the plot twists early on :( I’ve got both Malibu Rising and Finlay Donovan on my TBR already and I’m even more excited to pick them up now omg

[@kelseymitchell6191]

I LOVE Elle Cosimano! I have all her books! They're all great! Holding Smoke is probably my favorite book by her and its SOOOO underrated! Its a YA book, but SOOOO GOOD. Finlay Donovan is her debut Adult novel and it is sooooo good too!

[@Silverraine1]

1:04 - Katie, I would love to see you recreate/dress up as this cover!!

[@alyssakulbus]

your videos make my day!!! 🥰

[@KatieColson]

Oh thank you so much!! 💕

[@carolinamedero5311]

Girrrlll your energy! I love it! I agree The Maidens was such a quick read and fun. I hate Mick also! I have Finlay and between you and Gabby loving it, I need to get on it! Also your eyeliner is always so on point! All your makeup is actually. Can you do a tutorial video?!?! Lol

[@KatieColson]

Eyeliner on point? That is such a flex. Thank you so much.

[@sydlovesbookss8352]

yes i would love to see more videos like this

[@janeyalexander6651]

Hey Katie hope you are good. FInlay Donovan is killing it is an amazing book I loved it 😀 Loving your KZbin content as always 😀

[@KatieColson]

Thank you, Janey! Totally agree about Finlay

[@bridgetuphoff2129]

I'm gonna get Finlay Donavan is Killing It for my boss who has worked through the whole pandemic without a vacation. She has worked endless hours(we work in social services)and has been a rock and a support for all of us. That book was so fun and amazing. I think she'll enjoy the book so much.

[@KatieReads]

The whole bit with not trusting men... I laughed and I cried..... only because of how true it is 😂

[@dr.suezettealoysiaandcarla1664]

🤣✌🏽 Have a Bookish Tuesday Friends 🌾

[@purple_choco]

Why did the "I don't trust men! I don't trust any of these men!" make me laugh so hard 😆 Now I want to read Finlay Donovan 👌

[@miquesbookvlogs372]

I sadly wasn’t as enthusiastic about The Maidens,,, but I’m glad you liked it!! The other two sound pretty great too!

[@BeautybyTaime]

I read Findlay Donovan is Killing It after seeing soooooo many reviews singing it’s praises…I really enjoyed it! It was a super fast read!

[@alexw8532]

I LOVED Malibu Rising! Even though I wasn't a fan of Daisy Jones I'm glad I picked this one up. I want to give Evelyn Hugo a go next month as my add on with BOTM. BTW you got me reading with audiobooks and I CAN'T STOP 😂 I'm on book 7 already for the month!

[@ketasar2278]

I love your gemini energy:)) sending love from another gemini

[@KatieColson]

Nice! Thank you, fellow Gemini!

[@vanessademarois4936]

You should read The Taking Of Jake Livingston. It came out today; it has ghosts and queer characters! Also Ace of Spades, I think you would love it.

[@belair90210]

I’m currently reading Malibu Rising but you sold me on the other two books 🤩

[@monikaliane]

I have Finlay Donavan is killing it on hold at my library so I’m excited to get too it

UM WHAT?! That is the greatest compliment I've ever heard. Happy to serve!

I turn on your vlogs every day while working because I love your vibe and energy and it puts me in a good mood ♥️ i think ive watched your diviners series like 7 times now haha keep up the amazing work!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@lauraprindable2285]

If you loved Finlay Donovan Is Killing It, you probably would like the Charlie Davidson Series by Darynda Jones.

[@KatieColson]

Oh nice! I’ve never heard of it. Thanks for the recommendation

[@kkniker158]

Do u need to read the first books by Taylor Jenkins Reid before Malibu Rising?

[@KatieColson]

No you definitely don't need to. I would actually suggest reading Malibu Rising first, then Daisy Jones and then Evelyn Hugo. That way you understand the hype train

[@JessicaRoseReads]

🖤🖤✨

[@ElBelle333]

Why did this one feel so short???? So if ever you make it to central Florida area we need to go book shopping....

[@hparry424]

Have you read My Oxford Year by Julia Whelan?? I loved it!

[@kori5457]

You should read The Guncle by Steven Rowley in the next one. Nobody is talking about it and it looks so good 😊

[@VanessaButtino]

I finished reading The Maidens a couple days ago and I thought the ending was … absurd. Like, completely idiotic. The only thing I liked about this book was the blink-and-you-miss-it tie-in to The Silent Patient. That’s it. Wasn’t a big fan of The Silent Patient either to be honest, so I don’t think I’ll be reading anymore from that author.

[@KatieColson]

Yes, I definitely agree. I thought the Maidens was fun but was so disappointed in the ending. I don't know if I'll read from the author again either.

[@VanessaButtino]

@@KatieColson What you said about it being compulsively readable was very true, even though I ultimately wasn't a fan of where it was going. So weird, huh?

[@JodieTheReader]

Loved listening to Finlay Donavon!!! Can't wait for the next one. Malibu raising was great. Barely got thru the maidens. The twist at the end was horrible !!!Dnfd the silent patient so I'm done with that author.

[@christinathomas9959]

Amazing video Katie, have you received a letter I sent out yet?

[@anastasia7966_]

You low key look like Taylor Jenkins Reid

[@marisa1169]

Unpopular opinion: Findlay Donovan was just “eh”.

[@yeti4954]

Disagree. The Maidens was not good :P

[@KatieColson]

Yes, I have been reflecting on it and feel like I'm lowering my rate to 3.5 stars. I had a fun time reading it but it let me down in the end for SURE

[@yeti4954]

I just had super high hopes and felt suuuuuuper let down. I felt like Mariana had NO REASON to get involved in the first place. I think i ended up giving it 2 stars but i gave The Silent Patient a 5. Edit: Also HI KATIE! I *****LOVE***** all of your videos you manic queen.
