you make me want to start my own reading channel! Your videos are so lovely

[@jackiejeffords2932]

You should!! Life is short

[@melissatavaresk]

please, do! don't put away things that will make you happy

[@hobbyjournals]

I just started one and definitely very inspired by Katie’s content! I am currently filming a graveyard reading vlog 🪦📖👻

[@hobbyjournals]

If anyone is interested, my graveyard reading vlog is now live 🖤👻

[@witchygothmomma]

u are just such an adorable & wholesome creator. your my current comfort creator i love the way you edit your videos especially this one with the pumpkin baking such a calming aesthetic moment. thank you for being your wonderful self

[@katieisreading]

oh my gosh thank you so much🥹🥹

[@MariasNook]

I literally gasped when you unpacked Assassin's Quest, that is such a BRICK woah. That thing honestly looks like you could knock someone unconscious with it lol

[@dgoz97]

Those pumpkin pies looked so cute! I made applesauce oatmeal bread while watching today

[@cmk8362]

atmospheric magical cozy fall book rec: hotel magnifique!! super fun story with lots of magic and mystery & a lil howls moving castle vibes^^ i had the best time reading it!!

[@CorduroyVeg]

I read what Moves The Dead over summer and it was a pretty great shorter read. Plus there’s a second book in the series coming out early next year!😊

[@spicykatzreads]

I’ve also been thinking about not doing ratings anymore just added stress for no reason tbh I really liked what moves the dead and I can’t wait for the sequel!

[@katieisreading]

i’m glad i’m not the only one who feels that way about ratings!! i really think i’m going to give up on rating things

[@just_vibes6532]

This was such a comforting, wholesome vlog. Really loved the vibes of this video!! Those pumpkin pies looked sooooo good. I'm currently reading If we were villains and I'm loving it so far, It's also my first dark acidemia book so I'm really hoping that I'll like it.

[@katieisreading]

ah thank you!!🥹 and i’m so glad you’re loving if we were villians so far!!! i hope you love the rest as well🖤

[@macieleann1990]

belladonna has an amazing atmosphere! perfect for the fall time 🍂

[@amada4170]

I've heard that so much, I want to read it so badly but I'm waiting until the trilogy is over and slowly collecting the fairyloot editions while they are coming up

[@mackenzie901k]

Aaahhh, the Howl's Moving Castle book! I am so glad you bought it, we can match now hehe

[@ambertaryn]

It’s fall season with Katie’s cozy and atmospheric vlogs again! Yay!

[@katieisreading]

🥰🥰🖤

[@CosmosOnion14]

based on what u enjoyed in what moves the dead you would love A House With Good Bones also by T Kingfisher it has great ambiance and the horror mostly revolves around a house and our main character is an archeoentomologist (she digs for bugs and its really interesting) its a southern gothic and i personally really enjoyed it

[@katieisreading]

ooh that does sound really good!! thank you for the rec i will definitely have to check it out!🫶🏻

[@SreeparvathyPreeth]

HOPE YOU READ THIS Hi..I just finished chain of thorns and saw ur reading vlog...so happy to see someone actually loved how the story went rather than hating it for how it didn't went.....I absolutely loved the book SO someone asked CC about the original ending of the book ..and CC that the reason why she made a new ending is because of "possibility of any new LAST HOUR PROJECT"..I strongly believe that Christopher could come back(and there was no funeral)...if she writes a 4th book... because Grace needs him!!!

[@tubeguito9555]

Hi, This summer, I read four thriller books, but the one I liked the most was "Motion Detection," which I stumbled upon on Amz. It's a fantastic book. But I don't understand why nobody talks about it. Have you read it? I highly recommend it!

[@squishybear8286]

My cat was sitting with me while watching and he got VERY excited when you made the pumpkin pies. He watched the entire time you were baking and then perked up like crazy when the pies were done, it was super cute 🥺

[@shazzzz0]

I just stared reading nettle and bone and its rly rly good so far im in love with the writing!! love ur vlogs!!!

[@mariagaspar3875]

I really think you would love Twin Crowns!

[@michelled.3849]

Oh my gosh! a you have the quirky creamer pumpkin that I have! a I looked at mine and somehow thought “oh she’d prob love to have that” and then voila! There it was in your video as you were lighting candles, LOL

[@cari9157]

i just LOST IT at the if we were villains puzzle. holy crap i am so mad at myself for NOT having an illumicrate subscription. gosh it's absolutely stunning!!! i'm always nervous i'll get too much merch for books i haven't read or care about. but maybe i will finally learn my lesson and sign up one of these days lol

[@PrettyLittleBibliophile]

Watching your videos has really inspired me to get back to my own filming after a long reading slump+break!

[@too.many.games_]

This is the only spooky content I'm excited to watch this October ❤

[@genestacy6723]

Katie, I’ve been a subscriber to your channel for a few months now and am loving your content, including the books that you feature in your videos! You have been recommended to me by several KZbinrs, who have gushed about your content, and they’re right! I can’t wait to see and/or hear what you have planned for the next few months and the future of this channel!

[@katieisreading]

oh my gosh thank you so much!!🥺🫶🏻

[@AMoonGirl]

The book"What moves the dead",is a dilogy😉

[@evelientx]

Literally just typed in “reading vlog” in my search bar and then this popped up being posted 1 minute ago. Couldnt be more perfect!!

[@michelled.3849]

Yes, my daughter and I read buddy read the Cellar, and while we enjoyed it, the ending was a big let down for me in terms of what happened (or did not happen) to the main character.

[@jackkopanski9332]

Recently found your channel and started watching your videos - 10/10, btw - and with the amount of times I’ve heard you say “what am I gonna do? NOT buy it??,” I think there needs to be some merch or stickers of some kind with that on it 😂

[@dahliamartinez714]

16:35 the way i told my husband the title of the song and he started singing Enchanted by TS 🥹🥹

[@meghanlozada]

I absolutely LOVE your spooky reading vlogs. i’ve been watching your ones from last year and they’re just perfection! your vibes are the best.

[@katieisreading]

ah thank you so much!!!🥹🖤

[@user-xb8fk9ku4t]

Best vlog of the cecentury!! No complaints 👌 ❤

[@amandanovoa8768]

im journaling as i watch this and i love it here! 🧡 ive missed watching ur videos so much. im so glad ive finally gotten the chance to watch :,) oh! & ur channel is my favorite thing but especially during fall. nothing compares!!!!

[@katieisreading]

ah oh my gosh thank you🥺🥺🫶🏻

[@daisymoss5819]

I am also someone who lovesss a good atmospheric book and I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the night circus so if you haven't read that yet I would definitely recommend! Also I love your reading vlogs, especially the autumn ones because they are just so cozy

[@katieisreading]

i actually read the night circus earlier this year and loved it!!🥰 and thank you so much!!🖤

[@elisacaporilli3531]

amazing spooky romcom: witch you weren't here!

[@TorturedFolklore]

I love these long vlogs!! I just sat down to work, so perfect timing. ❤

[@yanellerobledo]

if you want more fungi i definitely recommend Mexican Gothic 💚

[@AdrianasWonderland]

i honestly could just watch your vlogs instead of movies ahaha i love them

[@ReadingNymph]

Ratings are so subjective, I really don't pay attention to them. I prefer hearing thoughts on the books 😅 Good to know about A Study in Drowning

[@katieisreading]

that’s good to know! i really think i’m going to give up on rating things from now on😅

[@finjapapendorf1648]

exactly what i needed today!🥰 thanks katie!

[@kayhickerson1226]

There's a book that I think you might enjoy. It's call " Dead Beautiful" by Yvonne Woon. I love it, and I've never heard anyone else talk about it. I need people to read this book!! 😂 The think that got me intrigued was the blurb on the cover that says " A Harry Potter Start and a Twilight finish".

[@SreeparvathyPreeth]

I have read that book.. Renee and dante

[@kayhickerson1226]

@@SreeparvathyPreeth omg, I've never known of anyone who's read it!!

[@SreeparvathyPreeth]

​@@kayhickerson1226The first YA fantasy I have ever read....and I still love it...the ending was soo good

Vampathon spread looks amazing!! So excited you're joining again this year 👻🖤

[@katieisreading]

ah thank you!! i can’t wait to participate again!!🥰🫶🏻

[@annamaria9392]

What moves the dead sounds so interesting to me omg. Also if you haven’t read it/seen it I recommend Mexican gothic and the show the last of us for more mushroom horror

[@pallavikrishnan8660]

Omg...I was just planning on relaxing by watching a cozy fall reading vlog 😂

[@emirivlogs]

random comment before I leave- you're literally so so sooo beautiful omg

[@madeleinemichon4095]

im reading a book book called interview with the vampire it so good and youer my fav youtuber

[@emirivlogs]

your videos are SOOO comforting I LOVEEE

[@soleirisse]

the cover of immortality is so gorgeous!

[@sophiarvi]

I felt the same way about A Study in Drowning!! something about it just didn't click for me, but it was good. love your videos!

[@labeba]

I was so exited about study in drowning.. I am reading One dark window and I am loving it hope it comes ☆☆☆☆☆

[@sara_vivian]

Hi! I am new-ish to the channel. Been watching your videos for about 6 month-ish and getting all the book content. Absolutely love it!

[@katieisreading]

ah thank you!!🥺🫶🏻

[@sarabashiri2222]

Wow I liked it so much! thank you!😍

[@beautifulmama862]

I got so excited to get this notification 😀 thanks for sharing Katie and I have so many books and can't decide which to read lol

[@Kittyzero13426]

Great spooky reading vlog! Happy reading.

[@hyemiyah]

happy belated birthday 🎉❤❤❤ sadly, i haven't read any of those books, but i love hearing your thoughts about them. also, those pastries looked so yummy. if i weren't so bad at baking, i'd try to make them on my own.

[@katieisreading]

thank you!!!🖤🖤 and highly recommend you give to pastries a try anyway!! they were super easy to make and so delicious!

[@booksandteas]

i read a ton of spooky books too these past few weeks. a lot of it comes from your recs. actually, all of it. you just got me into the vibe. not mad though. i just avoid reading them at night 👀 also now i'm curious about your vampathon reads. anyway happy reading 🧚🏼‍♀️

[@chillhoptunes2643]

I love your videos so much, for some reason you remind me of Alaska from the book\ movie looking for Alaska, she loves reading and I think you look like her that’s why haha, loved the vlog though 💕💕💕💕

[@gerniahliburd]

Loved this video as always Katie! I too cannot buy another book ever (but we all know that I will because I have no self control especially with all the new releases coming out this month 😅)! I can’t wait for your 24 hour readathon and the rest of your spooky vlogs this month! 🫶🏾

[@tradingaddress]

Katie, you could have used regular milk in place of cream in the pumpkin filling.

[@JemimaRose]

i just started garlic & the vampire about an hour ago so this is perfect :')

[@emilybork7599]

If you want another fungi horror, check out Mexican Gothic! I loved it!

[@charliescozycorner]

ahhh i just love your editing!!!! 🖤

[@libbysreadingcorner9564]

I just finished kingdom of the feared and it would have been perfect for this vlog. It's dark with some romance, it's the third book to Kingdom of the wicked. Loved the vlog by the way

[@ArielReads_]

lol i'm the same way, I keep giving books 4 stars just bc I feel pressured to give a rating! like idk man i'm just here for the vibes

[@alyssaviatorvlogs7271]

Please read “Belladonna” & do a reading vlog on it! You will LOVEEE it. I just finished the sequel “Foxglove” and i’m obsessed 🤩

[@mollystafford142]

I read Immortality in September and enjoyed it a lot more than Anatomy. I found Hazel's passion and love for her job as a surgeon so fascinating and I loved that we saw her really come into herself as a person. The only thing I don't like about the duology is the romance, I just don't think there's a spark at all between Hazel and Jack and it was too insta-lovey for me which I was really disappointed in

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great vlog. I'm reading 2 thrillers "the cabin" & "the cellar" both by Natasha Preston.they both seem spooky for the season. Those pumpkins look delicious 🎃📚☕🦇👻🍄

[@LexieMoon321]

It’s time for the spooky reading vlogs! 👻🤍

[@jeanab6953]

I started a study in drowning and not really feeling it or the writing might pick back up but idk. 🧙‍♀️🧚‍♂️🌙👻

[@matcha.cinnamon]

loved this video sm! 🥹 with ava reid i think her books are just miss marketed bc so many people said the same thing about juniper and thorns which people thought was fantasy romance when it was actually a very dark horror book set in a fantasy world. at the bookstore i work in i tend to put her books in our gothic horror section!

[@ballroomred]

Katie, if you like fungal horror I’d recommend checking out Leviathan Wakes! It’s the first book in a sci fi series, but it’s a decently good stand alone if you decide not to continue on.

[@mistymoonbeam6274]

Isn’t this the one that’s based off that series The Expanse?

[@ballroomred]

@@mistymoonbeam6274 The series is based off the books! But yes, it is!

[@megankate199]

Highly highly recommend Payback's A Witch by Lana Harper for a really fun, well written spooky romance! It's like John Tucker Must Die but also has a trials plot but also has a fun witch romance! And it's set in a gorgeous little town during Halloween!

[@Adele975]

This vlog was great katie❤❤

[@labeba]

That anger feelings for some one check all my favourite book was so true for me when I was at university 😅 and now if I just see some one holding my favourite book I will offer my friendship in a suspicious way like a stoker 😂.. yep nothing in between

[@lanislibrary]

Oh my god I loved Garlic and the Vampire. It felt like watching a nostalgic cartoon

[@mistymoonbeam6274]

I have to pick it up!

[@katieisreading]

yes totally agree!!!

[@lanislibrary]

@@mistymoonbeam6274 yesss you should!

Your baking was so nice to watch, I'm going to make my favorite banana bread tonight. ✨ 🎃

[@katieisreading]

i hope your banana bread was delicious!!🖤

[@seochangbinsarms]

I’m reading good omens rn and it’s so unbelievably ridiculous but in a good way💀💀

[@bluzybooks4185]

I just want to say that “next of all” made me laugh so hard but also why does it sound right??

[@despoinalouv]

I'm reading immortality right now and I gotta say that the vibe is completely different from the first book. I just really miss the gothic elements but I'm still enjoying it.

[@laluterature]

such a good vid katie

[@katieisreading]

thank you!!

[@horangsiyoon]

does anyone have a link to that plant bookmark katie is using? it's so cute!!!

[@Ghosts-uh6fe]

WHERE do you get your blankets from? I've been looking for black and white spooky blankets and I haven't found any anywhere ! (thank you)

[@b1398]

i also gave a study in drowning 3.75 stars! i think it is the perfect rating about this book & i still will recommend it to most people but i just wish it gave a little more :,)

[@alexismrs.bookdragon2970]

Have you read The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert? I think you’d love it. 9:04

[@noikw]

Were we listening to The Nightmare Before Christmas? 💀✨🦋

I need to buy that howls moving castle book. Can you give me the link for it?

did you finish a study in drowning?

[@cassandralynnreads]

@@katieisreading not yet 😅

[@bangfangbang]

Have you read the Kiss Curse? It’s a spin-off/sequel to the Ex Hex focused on the girls cousin

[@laurenjohnson6086]

I’m reading Enchanted to Meet You currently! Your comment about her doing magic so he would sleep w/ her is inaccurate IMO. That part isn’t as it seems. I see why you would think that though since you stopped around pg 90. Just wanted to clarify so others don’t get the wrong idea about it! I totally understand the other reasons you DNF’d though, I feel it’s superficial at times as well.

[@jillray951]

Have you read the sequel to the ex hex?

[@alisons338]

♥️

[@janet5123]

The pumpkin “pies” look great 🧡🎃 I gave What Moves the Dead 4.5 and Immortality 3.5- I liked Anatomy better. I hear you about ratings. I am totally subjective about ratings-mostly based on vibes and enjoyment. If a book is unoriginal and/or way too tropey or full of plotholes I knock a point or so off. I really enjoy T Kingfisher’s creepy humor but it’s not for everybody. 🍄🏯👻🖤

[@katieisreading]

thank you! the pies were so good i’m still thinking about them lol🧡 and i definitely think i’m going to have to check out more of t. kingfisher’s work because i really enjoyed the writing style!

I dnf'd Enchanted to Meet You. It bored me, and the relationship went quickly for my taste. From zero to sex in a way that made little sense.
