My friend and I have been buddy rereading Twilight together and it's been so much fun talking about the series with her. I'm currently reading Midnight Sun for the first time because I only read a little of the early draft and I have no memory of it whatsoever, and it's such an interesting read so far! Also the ghost tic tac toe thing is adorable omfg. I love your videos so much

[@katieisreading]

buddy reading twilight sounds so fun, i hope you continue to have the best time!! and midnight sun is definitely a very interesting book lmao, i remember reading the early draft in high school and being so sad that was all there was at the time! and thank you!!!

[@ishankalra3705]

Your last reading vlog came 2 weeks ago, 2 weeks have honestly never felt so long.Really peaceful and serene vlog truly. I really wish for a daily reading vlog from you lol that's how good they are . 🫠😇.Also it was absolutely surreal when your emerald eyes were matching with your top during the intro.

[@maddie801]

Unexpected day off work + a new Katie video?? Recipe for a perfect day 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@katieisreading]

hope you enjoyed your day off!!🤎🤎

[@astoldbykat]

The romance in A Novel Love Story definitely isn't my favorite (although I did like it more than The Seven Year Slip), but I really liked the themes in the book, and how the town was a big (metaphor, allegory?) for what both Elsy and Anders are going through: building up this story of your present or future in your head, and then something happens to stop it and you get stuck because you aren't sure where to go from there. Also, I love how the title is a play on words because the entire book is kind of about the love story between readers and their favorite books.

[@zahraaamir3167]

I literally adore your vlogs they're so calming :) also completely unrelated, but I finally read emily wildes encyclopedia of faeries because of u Katie AND OMG I LOVED IT TYSM!! 😭💗💗

[@katieisreading]

thank you!!💗 and YAY! i'm so glad you loved it so much!!!😭

[@TorturedFolklore]

Jane Eyre is one of my fav books of all time.

[@KaedenLivesLife]

All the good vibes here 💝💝 I love how comforting and peaceful this is, love you girl 🫶🥹🥹 I also just read Loveless, and it is such a good book 🥹💕

[@albanevchr]

The beginning of jane eyre is kind of hard to go through but after that you won't regret it !!!!

[@caspiansvensson]

I love your reading chair, I want one. And also, that looks like an amazing annotation kit. When I leave home with a book that I am annotating that is basically what I bring.

[@user-xb8fk9ku4t]

Ahhhh another vlog no wayyyy ❤❤❤❤ love ur videos your my favorite person on booktube 🤌

[@katieisreading]

🥺🥺🖤 thank you!

[@red.carnation]

I'm waiting for your autumnal reading vlogs with the same eagerness of a white suburban woman waiting for Christmas ✋🏼😔

[@katieisreading]

i love this comment so much😭😭😭 i'm so excited to start making them!!

[@user-xb8fk9ku4t]

You should do a room tour!! I'd love to see it in its full glory ❤

[@shaunsshelf]

Okay that carousel tea light holder is ADORABLE!

[@maeve6076]

jane eyre is my favorite book ever! so jealous you get to experience it for the first time! happy reading!

[@forfred_au]

If you like the premise of Novel Love Story, give the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde a try. The first one is called The Eyre Affair so you'll get a lot of the references if you've also just read Jane Eyre :) Thursday, the main character, is a literary detective who discovers she can go into books. Fforde is my favourite author and the Thursday series are some of his best.

[@katrinahinkle7168]

Not sure if you’ve read it or if it is already on your tbr but I just read The Radley’s by Matt Haig and I think you would honestly love it. It’s a quirky vampire book that is so weird and so fun, highly recommend to add to your vampire book collection!

[@LexieMoon321]

It’s been a while since I watched your videos; it feels like coming home 🥹

[@katieisreading]

🥺🥺🥺

Circles could be eyeballs! 😊

[@Lonelygravesidewriter]

I'm so happy you enjoyed Belladonna, I love that series so much ❤️

[@sophia4tr]

maybe I'm a little late for this, but I have an idea for the clay circles. you could paint some white dots and make them like buttons. love your videos ❤

[@cupcakecandyshop918]

Im so happy you loved belladonna. It is one of my favorite books. I will have to pick up some of the other books you recommended and see if I enjoy them. I love your videos❤

[@emmaskapetis7603]

Great reading vlog as always💕. You've convinced me to finally read Belladonna because it sounds so good. Also I really loved A novel love story even though the romance wasn't my favorite either. That plot twist with Anders really got me though (I wasn't expecting it at all and I had a full reaction to it).

[@katieisreading]

thank you!!💗 i hope you enjoy belladonna!! and yes the plot twist with anders in a novel love story was very wild and got me too!!!😭

[@beautifulmama862]

I'm always excited when you post ❤❤❤❤❤ love hearing your opinions on books ❤

[@libraryofamberr]

I’ve been craving an atmospheric read for some time and Belladona sounds just the right thing 🙊😌

[@katieisreading]

[@daphne.readsnl]

hey Katie! just wanted to ask if you’d read evocation by st.gibson?? seemed like your vibe 🫣

[@leoniereads]

I love your vlogs soo so much.🫶🏼🍂🧡Have you read “The Sword of Kaigen” yet ? I think you would love it.🗡️🐉

[@katieisreading]

thank you!!! and i haven't yet but i really want to read to sometime soon! it's been on my shelves for a while and i need to pick it up!

[@BookishCats]

Your copy of Jane Eyre is gorgeous! Where did you get it?

[@katieisreading]

i think i bought it second hand on ebay! but it's the penguin classics deluxe edition!

[@AdamFishkin]

Jane Eyre is one of my all-time procrastination areas. I could easily read it; I just haven't. Something about its premise has never caught me in the right mood to go in ... in sharp contrast to Pride & Prejudice, which hooked me from the outset for reasons my 15-year-old self would word to you in a far too pretentious way (adult me can look back and say "it was funny; the jokes land"). I've paused this video at 5:45 for the sake of going for a long walk (to get enough oxygen in my blood to not have a repeat of yesterday's heart palpitations), and when I get back and unpause I want to hear all about your Jane Eyre experience. *EDIT:* The issue with And Then There Were None might be that book form is the wrong medium, which isn't Christie's fault. I recommend you go to KZbin and give the 1945 film version a try. They change some character names (including Judge Wargraves to Judge Quincannon) but you get those same plot mechanics applied to cinema language and in my opinion it works much better. The ensemble they casted also slaps. You have many spunky candles. Kinda jealous. My apartment space can handle literally one candle burning at a time. If you're a fan of Death / the Reaper as a more sympathetic character, a good series to seek out is Discworld by Terry Pratchett. It's surrealist sci-fi, and 5 out of the 41 volumes focus on Death and his evolution as a person. Sorry to hear the time for Jane Eyre slipped away.
