Kat is legitimately the only booktuber with my exact reading taste. Waiting for a video is basically waiting for my b&n shopping cart to load up lol

[@Katytastic]

[@Juhmusiclover]

Honestly, authors should pay you to pitch their books. The way you talk about the plots makes me want to read everything.

[@dericmederos1514]

They do. What do you think these videos are

[@Spiritbro77]

Two Kat posts this month? WOO HOO!!!! Keep them coming! Always happy to see posts from Kat!

[@Katytastic]

[@Spiritbro77]

[@annacselotei8262]

The lucky list and The soulmate equasion sound super interesting! Now I can't wait for them to come out, I wanna read them so badly! Thank you for the recommendations Kat, love youu🧡

[@eternalanxiety9653]

if you want another secret identity trope ‘Love Letters to the Lost’ is a good one. this girl loses her mom and as a way to cope she writes letters to her mom and leaves them at her grave. the bad boy from her school finds the letters and starts writing back to her but they have no idea who the other person is.

[@musicalnerds101]

I love your videos I always learn so much about new books!

[@bts_vinyl]

I really enjoyed Cool for the Summer! It had some of the vibes of classic YA beachy stories that I read back in the mid to late 2000s. But with a bisexual twist.

[@valj137]

Omg hiii I follow your reviews on GR!

[@dr.suezettealoysiaandcarla1664]

‘Honey Girl’ super cute read ! 💯🍯 Happy Bookish Thursday Friends

Idk if you have read this but Felix Ever After has a kind of secret online identity even though it isn't the main element of the plot, plus queer so 👍
