Katie 1 Final Cut Pro 0

[@katieisreading]

can’t believe i lost to a computer program😔

[@jaja231]

I love how buying yona of the dawn started as just fave covers, and it evolved into a straight up collection😂

[@katieisreading]

it’s a problem i know😭🤚🏼 i still don’t plan on collecting all of them… but i definitly did not plan on buying so many of them😳

[@PorothPorcupine]

Katie giving the Veronica Speedwell book only a 3-star rating was truly...an unexpected peril. 😭 BTW 33:13 "A Momentous Occasion" sounds like the title of a D. Raybourn book

[@katieisreading]

please that made me snort haha😭 honestly petition for deanna raybourn to make that a book title because that would actually be perfect!!!

[@ReadingNymph]

So pleased you enjoyed Wicked Fox, its a duology that needs more love ♡♡ The stickers are too cute 😍

[@katieisreading]

absolutely agree!! i can’t wait to pick up the second book🩵

[@michellesabrina127]

i am also in my finals week and i couldn't be more stressed 😭 a long relaxing vlog is just what i need to destress so tysm! i can't wait to incessantly read after it's all over!!

[@katieisreading]

i hope your finals went well!! i hope you read so many good books when your finals are over!!!!🩷🫶🏻

[@sophiemonk8546]

I promise for the Kiss of Deception series, it gets so much better. I also rated it a 3, the second book was a 4, and the third book was a 5. Stick with it, if you can. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the rest of the books

[@katieisreading]

okay after hearing your review i’m definitely interested in continuing! i might pick up the audiobook for the second books and see what i think!!☺️

[@mackenzie901k]

Congratulations on graduating! I am currently reading Fourth Wing and I love it so far. If you love fantasies with dragons I 100% recommend reading it. I cannot wait to see what videos you upload this summer!

[@katieisreading]

thank you!!

[@shogames2578]

Hey Katie! If you’re looking for a good K-Drama Extrordinary Attorney Woo is wonderful. It’s a combination of law, beautiful romance, flawed characters, autism rep, and a bit of angst. The scenery and music are also phenomenal. Have a great day!

[@nanasdiary.mp4]

the remnant chronicles series is my all time fav trilogy along with my ult comfort books he second one is my fav its really epic i cant wait for you to finish them and tell us what u thought

[@sixofpages]

“what am i gonna do when i don’t have volumes of yona of the dawn to read” that’s exactly why i’ve been taking my time reading it bc i don’t wanna be caught up yet😭 but now that i own literally every single volume i can also binge them 🤔 it’s very conflicting LOL

[@katieisreading]

keep taking your time because a world without new yona of the dawn volumes to read is a scary place😳😩🤚🏼

[@joannaz2854]

Yayy congratulations on graduating Katie!! My graduation is next week and I am so excited! I am currently reading The Watchmaker of Filigree Street and it is so beautiful I highly recommend it! xoxo

[@Jordan_throws1]

I’m telling u the Kiss of Deception series gets SO GOOD! The first book just sets it up! You HAVE to continue it!

[@Whimsicalpages]

Congratulations on graduating! I finished my spring semester a week ago and it feels so nice to have the extra time to read and do other things that don't include studying. I am on a book buying ban until I also make a dent in my physical tbr, but want to buy A Veronica Speedwell Mystery so badly!

[@katelinanderson8419]

I love A Tale of Two Cities! It's my favorite book ever. ❤

[@katieisreading]

i can’t wait to see what i end up thinking of it!! it’s one i’ve been meaning to get to for a while! so glad you love it

[@meganmicha_]

[@Maroon58]

Another great vlog! I’m currently reading Fourth Wing, like everyone else lol, and am loving it! I know it’s next months book club pick so excited to see how you will like it. I just got to them meeting the dragons and didn’t realize how much I would love the dragons! First time reading a book with them in it, so it’s a pleasant surprise. 😊

[@ArlinTreaty]

I’m excited too because I’m out of school this Friday!! 🥳 LOVED the video as always. I’m currently reading Eragon and honestly I’m just trying to get through it. It’s pretty slow so far but hopefully it gets better! ❤

[@katieisreading]

ah i hope you enjoy your break from school!!!🫶🏻🩷 and thank you so much! i’ve definitely been thinking about picking up eragon at some point myself, but that sucks that it’s been slow so far for you, i hope it picks up soon!!🐉

Congrats on being done for the summer! I just finished the entire Vampire Academy series and idk what to do with myself. I started Phaedra to renter my Greek mythology era

[@katieisreading]

thank you!!! i hope you enjoyed vampire academy!! a little ridiculous but super fun, you could always start the bloodlines series! it’s a spin-off series that follows adrian! i haven’t read it myself but so many people have told me that they really enjoyed it

I hope finals went well ❤

[@katieisreading]

thank you! they did!!🫶🏻☺️

[@gerniahliburd1222]

Hey Katie! I loved this video as always ✨💙 I’m a little extra grateful to watch it because I know you were having some issues uploading it. I think setting up a new annotation key might be my favorite part of annotating, it’s just so satisfying! And of course the quote 47:12 is from Chain of Iron (love that James and Cordelia moment 🥹)

[@katieisreading]

thank you so much (this video was really testing me😭🫶🏻 haha) setting up a new annotation key is also my fav part of annotating! although i also love being able to flip back through my annotations when i’ve finished a book! also you’re an icon for knowing that’s from tlh, that’s such a stunning moment i love them😭😭🩷

[@amandadowney953]

Great Vlog Katie! Hope you have a Happy Summer. ☀️🧡

[@katieisreading]

thank you so much!!☺️🧡

[@Kittyzero13426]

Congrats on finishing your semester. At the moment my goal is to finish Clockwork Angel this month, and start Every Heart a Doorway series. I have Wicked Fox, Nevermoor, The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter, and Alliana Girl of Dragons on my tbr that I picked up from the library. I also have Fourth Wing and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue coming in the mail from Target. Started figuring out my tbr for the summer and putting less on my tbr to enjoy the summer. I do plan on picking up Crave next month since I have heard it compared to Twilight other then that just making a list for future plans to see my family at the end of June. Hope you enjoy your summer!

[@katieisreading]

thank you!! loved being able to see all of your future reading plans, it looks like you have some good ones! fourth wing had been intriguing me recently, i hope you like it! good luck with your summer tbr!! i hope you get to some amazing books🫶🏻☺️

[@hyemiyah]

congrats on graduating 🎉❤ mononoke hime is my fave ghibli film because its depiction of how humanity is ruining the planet and i'm glad you enjoyed it. the scenery is stunning though and i absolutely love the story. it's one of my comfort films. also those stickers omg they feel so nostalgic! excited for your summer content ❤

[@katieisreading]

thank you so much!!☺️🩷 mononoke is very high up on my list of fav ghibli movies!! it was so fantastic and i can’t wait to rewatch it! totally understand why it’s a comfort film for you!

[@weehavetogoback]

this is a sign that I need to finish the throne of glass series on my physical tbr…I just really hate some of the povs so it’s a struggle 😩

[@katieisreading]

okay i feel the same way about tog though😳😩 some of the povs are great but there are way too many that i don’t like, wishing you luck with continuing the series!!

[@shonnarobertson6462]

Currently reading Dracula Daily! Also just starting the Veronica Speedwell series and reading Death on the Nile as my Read Christie book for May. It took me a few chapters to get into A Tale of Two Cities when I read it earlier this year but by chapter five I was thoroughly hooked!

[@katieisreading]

i loved daily dracula!! it’s such a fun way to consume the story🧛🏻 also really hope you love the veronica speedwell series!☺️

[@jillray951]

The k drama twenty one twenty five is so good! I think you’d love it. Also howls moving castle is also my favorite followed by from up on poppy hill and Kiki’s delivery service. Also every-time I watch you videos I buy new books cause you make everything sound so good!

[@katieisreading]

i really need to watch from up on poppy hill, but kiki’s deliver service is so fun i see why it’s one of your top favs!! sorry to made you buy so many books haha, i hope you’re loving them though!🩷

[@vampirekeeley]

Noooo The Kiss of Deception is my favorite fantasy series 😭

[@zatulululul]

i vote Crash Landing on You as ur first kdrama to watch🫰

[@joalgustas6498]

Have you read the Shadow of the Fox trilogy by Julie Kagawa? I think you’d LOVE it. It was my fave trilogy from 2022, and I’m 45. Lol

[@katieisreading]

i haven’t but it’s definitely been on my radar for a while, i’ll have to check it out soon!!

[@SuperStrangSshadow]

Hope you'll vlog in the summer vacation as welll. 😊

[@katieisreading]

yes absolutely!!!🫶🏻

[@ilovealotofstuff1624]

If you like Flush, I have a few recommendations for books with animal povs. I am a Cat by Sōseki Natsume is a Japanese classic about a cat who spends all his time observing human nature. The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly by Sun-Mi Hwang is about a hen named Sprout who can no longer lay eggs on command, so she comes up with a plan to escape and go into the wild to hatch her own egg. The Wild Robot by Peter Brown is about a robot named Roz who ends up on an island, kind of becomes one with the animals on the island, and ends up adopting one of the baby animals

[@jaegerkarina]

katiee where is your necklace frommm

[@leaknezevic63]

The Kiss of Deception is the only book I've ever DNF'd. I don't remember much anymore, but I think I found it very annoying 😂

[@AdrianasWonderland]

i want to get more into mangaaaaaa! i just need something that will completely bewitch me, what would reccomend for begginers?

[@samiyt8772]

Hey Katie have you ever tried reading any classics? I would love to see a reading vlog on that! Right now I'm reading Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen and it's good:) also I'm in finals as well!!

[@katieisreading]

yes! i don’t read them too often, but i like to pick them up every now and then! i read great expectations earlier this year, and i read five or so last year, dracula has been my fav so far!!

[@samiyt8772]

@@katieisreading Ou sounds like fun, will give Dracula a try! I'm starting literature as my major, so I'm trying to read some classics for fun ☺️ (however do love a good fantasy romance book loll)

[@jaedd_plans]

I had similar feelings about Kiss of Deception. I wanted to love it, but when it finished I kind of felt like it had only just barely started. Like the whole book should have just been condensed into a few chapters as the start of the book. It didn't feel like anything really happened until that last 50 pages.

[@bakkeningrid]

How do you choose between hardback and paperback?

[@MariasNook]

I love how you said that you're on a book buying ban but not a -manga- buying ban, always good to keep those rules stretchy 😎😂

[@katieisreading]

i need to give myself something to work with you know?😭😭

[@Axlbhe]

Hey I love ur vids! I was wondering, Could you give us a few classic recs?

[@just_vibes6532]

When I saw you packing Strange the dreamer into the book of the month box I just started laughing, cause I should've known that it was going to be packed with the utmost care and love. Also I think your review of Kiss of deception is now going to effect my reading experience, but like in a positive way, I didn't really have a lot of expectations to begin with and I only picked it up because it was the book club choice, and now my expectations are even lower so who knows maybe I'll end up liking it.

[@katieisreading]

it’s what she deserves😭🩵 i was very happy to realize i had the perfect box to transport it in haha! and i’m glad i was able to help you adjust your expectations!! i hope you do end up enjoying it more

[@acciojenna]

I had to read A Tale of Two Cities for 8th grade English and it put me off Charles Dickens since 🥲

No, you’re totally right. That Veronica Speedwell book is mid. It gets better after that book

[@HannahsRecentReads]

an unexpected peril was my least favorite in the series, but i loved the next book! the next book is pretty juicy 😏

[@HannahsRecentReads]

i know you’re a ghibli fan, have you read the manga series witch hat atelier? i’ve only read the first volume but it gave me major studio ghibli vibes, like kiki’s mixed with howl’s a bit.

[@katieisreading]

i think i’m about 50% of the way through an impossible imposter and can absolutely agree that it’s super juicy😭 so many bombs are being dropped and i’m eating it up!! it’s sooo much better than an unexpected peril honestly

[@orlagracee]

do you read any manga volumes online? i really want to read more manga but it’s so difficult to find physically 😭

[@katieisreading]

i do sometimes!! i try to find it from my libraries through libby, but sometimes i just google it to see if there any an volumes online👀
