Same, but BooksAMillion

[@estellecuriel690]

The way she talks about Jude and Cardan is the most relatable thing. Too many feels to explain the feels

[@user-cl6jp5vj1g]

Honey, it's ALWAYS the season to haul books ALSO WTF IM FIRST AH KAT I LOVE YOU AND I CANNOT WAIT TO READ YOUR BOOK

[@Katytastic]

TRUE!!! (and thank you!! XD)

[@user-cl6jp5vj1g]

@@Katytastic I say this, and then I wonder why I'm broke. WHAT IS SELF CONTROL haha, np, anytime- it's all trueeee

[@unprocessed_life]

I will never be a millionaire because of books and I am 1000% ok with that haha

[@nicolebelen2407]

Honestly my favourite non-spoilery review about Reverie is that it is about a Queer Boy that shoots rainbows. Which I 100% agree with and absolutely love

[@SamanthasBooks]

I'm gonna reread Scythe and Thunderhead before I read The Toll and I can't wait!!

[@christeascozycorner]

so glad to see you doing well kat!!! you deserve all the great times 🎉

[@camilacoz2850]

The Toll feels the most mature and different out of the entire series, but I loved it. It took me two days to read and I cried both days. So good!!

[@cattychatt718]

[@Kissmyasthma16]

The Starless Sea is one of my new favs! I’m only 120ish pgs in but oh my god Zachary Ezra Rawlins is just the best person

[@Inamichan]

A curse so dark and lonely was actually really good!

[@readbymarta2781]

YESSS GOTTA LOVE THE FOLK OF THE AIR SERIES

[@HPFangirl71]

I haven't watched one of your videos in quite some time.....I had forgotten how excited you get over books that you love!! I may have to check a couple of these out especially that beauty & the beast retelling!!

[@psyrene4894]

we wanna be buying dat katytastic book!!

[@Katytastic]

workin on it XD

[@landynistrash9378]

Most of these books I might not have found if it wasn't for you, Kat 😁 I also share your huge obsession with Carry On 😂

[@LibraryFairy762]

I'm in the middle of the starless sea literally right now and I am LOVING it. Literally, I think it's going to take the top spot #1 book of the year for me. You're right, it's a pretty intricate plot - but I'm discovering that's something that I love. I can't wait to film a review of this book, because I have so many things to say already and I'm not even done!

[@themermaidreader8504]

So many amazing books in this haul! I can't wait to binge read Holly Black's Folk Trilogy, I waited for the last book to be released before starting the series as well because I new I would become obsessed with it.

[@KittyAndTheBooks]

Oh you must read Unwind by Neal Shusterman. Masterpiece.

[@ohsoabby4689]

I just finished Supernova and loved it so much!!!! What a great trilogy🤩🤩

[@emmaduncan2262]

BRIGID KEMMERER IS SUCH AN AMAZING AUTHOR I LOVE HER ELEMENTAL SERIES

[@Hestiacos]

Glad to hear more people talking about supernova! Marisa Meyer is truely awesome. Also, THIRTEEN BOOKS! Congrats 🎉❤️

[@myplansarebooked]

I haven't watched one of your videos in awhile and it was so refreshing

[@Ikataja]

Woah, that is a great reading month indeed! I'm so woefully behind on my goal I'll probably have to do a few days where I only read, but we'll see how that goes. Also, is it only me who thought of The Pagemaster after hearing the description for The Starless Sea? It reminded me of that movie, but for adults. Definitely checking it out!

[@booksandbrushes4868]

Neal Shusterman has been my FAVOURITE author for years, the Unwind series, by favourite series of all time. I have waited and waited for The Toll to come out, to binge the whole thing, because I know what Neal is like with them cliffhangers and I couldn't take that chance! I've watched the series blow up, like Neal deserves, and haven't been able to join in but knowing it was great and in November I read Scythe and once never been more exited because I haven't read a new amazing book from him in a while 😭😭😭 the emotions!!

[@silverkyre]

Unwind is my favorite book, too. And super excited for the Toll!

Literally just put down a curse so dark and lonely to watch the video it was the first book you mentioned 😂🙈😳

[@mauamauification]

I loved the queen of nothing!! I wish the series was longer I can’t get enough of cardan and jude. 😭💙

[@rileysutton838]

Your hair and makeup is on point!! I love all of your videos

[@Katytastic]

thank you!!

[@Bee-ld6qk]

I’ve just come from your mortal instruments video- and wow I’m glad to see you’re so passionate about reading still, and I’m honestly, so happy for you

[@ooomar2689]

OMG Kat how do you avoid spoilers? I feel like if I wait a week to read a new release, i'd have to stay away from the internet and you save entire trilogies for years lol

[@SassyyKassie]

I need the starless sea RIGHT MEOW!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Ooo I’ve never heard of Coral but I am intrigued

[@JustJay]

I've seriously got to pick up Coral.

[@chattymermaid1755]

Queen of nothing was my most anticipated book of the year and ooooommmg it was sooo goood and well wrapped up ! ❤❤ I do wish it was longer tho hhhh I finished reading it the same day I started it

[@bigbang3224]

U r the first booktuber i started watching..

[@allisonwilliamson543]

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on The Toll and the Nevernight Trilogy !!

[@TheDailyDanny]

i really wanna try reading that holly black book

[@jadynd.c.8708]

Omg freaking need to read supernova!!!

[@amnesiac-original]

Could you make a video showing your library? You can take a camera and walk around whole house and show every shelf. Not every book, but all the shelfs. The end of 2019 edition :-) It would be very interesting. I just like that kind of vids.

[@avsambart]

You read 13 books?! Amazing! Also another video so I'm happy ^_^

[@madi.5017]

Kat, is that shirt a crop?! I have the same one! Omg. Love you and your videos. 😍

[@kotarahmusic]

Aww dang. How can you NOT love Nova and Adrian. I get it, kinda. I love Nova and Adrian so much and ship them so hard. Arc of the Scythe was soooo goood!!!!!!!! Love that you're reading so much and enjoying everything you're reading!!!! This was also a great month for me. I read over 10 books... lost track at this point. And congrats on finishing your book!

[@alannasama777]

I can absolutely say that Darkdawn is the best dang book I’ve read this year, and nothing I’ve read before or after has topped it. Some have been close, but Darkdawn made me feel empty of ALL feeling (good or bad) after I was done. It absolutely wrecked me, and I’m not ashamed of that. I still have to read Queen of Nothing, because I just got my copy a week ago.

[@shannonwiri2877]

How are your bookshelves still together with all these books 😂 ALSO YES HOW GOOD WAS THE QUEEN OF NOTHING! I finished it in one sitting after putting it off (because end of series anxieties + Pokémon) and I absolutely loved it

[@_kairi4439]

I know you don’t do cooking videos anymore, but with Thanskgiving and Christmas it’d be cool to see some vegan recipes from you ;-;

[@Allymai_]

Seconded!

[@wonderlandbr5651]

Yes

[@TheMelodramaticBookworm]

It is the season for hauling books? *sweats profusely as the last money in my bank a/c glares at me*

I miss listening to your synopses! I must like your voice haha compared to other book tubers. :)

[@teighlorc2963]

I needed more when I finished the toll. I felt like we didn’t really get to see enough of the aftermath like 5 year on crap. I desperately wanted to know more of their lives after everything

[@avapaull3814]

Did Kat mention any Supernova spoilers? I want to hear what she thought of it, but I can’t risk being spoiled before I pick it up in December. It is one of my fave series.

[@evepolvay401]

Ava Paull nope you’re good!

[@avapaull3814]

E P Thank God!! And thanks for the reply.
