I missed Kat so much. Man just her voice is so nice to listen to lol

[@dovelyy]

i would love to watch a video of you talking about fanfic tropes. or really anything fanfic related. maybe pick a fanfic trope and recommend a book that does that well? ranking fanfic tropes? just putting that out there :))

[@Katytastic]

hmm good ideas good ideas..... ;)

[@jorgnocke991]

@@Katytastic Fate - The Winx Saga please can you review this book can you make a video reviewing this book can you tell us what you think about Fate - The Winx Saga

[@9cloudrachel207]

Yay! Watching this I feel like it’s 2014 again and I’m watching your videos instead of going to bed. You’re so great lol

[@Katytastic]

haha thank you! wow i really have been on this site for a long time huh XD

[@tamarajovanovic3769]

"I love when the book ruins my life... in a good way" love this! So true!

[@Katytastic]

love to be emotionally compromised by fictional characters!! XD

[@thequeenofcydonia]

That shirt looks really beautiful on you. 🌹 Also it's great that you are uploading again.

[@Katytastic]

thank you!!

[@valj137]

"I love it when a book ruins my life" LMAOOOO KAT (same tho)

[@PhilsOsophie]

You're uploading so much again, I love it! Makes me realize how much I missed you and your videos 🥰🙏

[@kirstiesheets2009]

Welcome back! I sure did miss all of your book hauls. You are a awesome person Kat

[@lilaclona]

ooh. The ember in the ashes quartet with matching covers. Looks beautiful. There's something so satisfying about matching covers. I totally get why you want to have a sky beyond the storm in paperback :P

[@16rock1star5]

Kat and her bookshelves always bring me joy. I love how coming back to Booktube after 5 years or so and Kat is still here makes me feel comfortable and nostalgic😂

[@sbscarlett]

Me: has already heard of most of these books Also me: is excited and adding them now cause Kat is recommending them 🙃

[@NikkiCLurvesJB]

I love that shirt💖red really suits u :) hope ur having a gud start to the year💖

[@Katytastic]

thank you!! hope you're having a good start to the year too!! :)

[@nikolettapr]

Kat with this voice you should either start a podcast or an ASMR channel 🥰🥰🥰 soooo calming!! Love you!!

[@Katytastic]

lol asmr doesn't really affect me so i wouldn't know what i'm doing!! but maybe some kind of podcast?? maybe i'll just read public domain books aloud or something lol.......

[@nikolettapr]

@@Katytastic yesss!! Or basically talk about books, same as you do in your booktube channel! Though I still believe you would thrive with an asmr channel 😊😇🥰

[@caroline_cic]

I started following you in 2016 and you've been my favorite ever since. It is nice to have you back here on KZbin 🤍

[@Katytastic]

aw thanks for sticking around for so long!

[@jananiananthanarayanan4794]

SAMEEE

[@caroline_cic]

​@@Katytastic No, thank YOU 😭❤

[@gabbydiane98]

I just re-read the first 3 books in the Ember quartet in preparation for Sky and I was SOOOOO glad I did. It was such a fun experience. Sabaa is a mastermind.

[@thebookishmind]

Sooo happy to see your videos again! I am waiting for a signed copy of Lore, and I cannot wait to read it 🤍

[@Dragondarkness30]

So happy to see another Kat video. Keep doing what your doing Kat. Your a great person and I really like watching your videos. Its been awhile since we got videos back to back. I'm ready to see more Kat videos this year.

[@nickyyy777]

loved this video!!!!! your jokes and charisma bring me so much joy

[@Katytastic]

thank you!

[@marissaann1233]

Your voice is so soothing

[@maeashahrahman7812]

I’m really looking forward to reading Lore!!

[@dovelyy]

yay trials of apollo! i have also only read the first two books and forgot most of it. now that all the books are out i can finally binge all of it

[@Katytastic]

bingeing is the way to go w rick riordan's series!

[@pumpkinjennilynn]

I’m so excited for lore. It sounds so cool

[@elizabethsimon9550]

I've read the tower of Nero and loved it.

[@JamesLawner]

Speaking of duologies, whatever happened to yours? Book 1 and Book 2, did you finish it? Are they stranded in Development Hell?

[@Katytastic]

i'm less stranded in "development hell" and more stuck in "publishing purgatory" .......aka, i'm querying and trying to find agent XD but i've been working on other stuff in the meantime, so i'll share a writing update soon!

[@mackenziebrynnrap]

AH, I really wanted to join y'all for Cemetery Boys and I'm v sad I didn't! 2020 really went and FCKED MY SH!T UP (TM) with reading sooooooooooo lol XD. And YES, I am super with you on The Ember in the Ashes Quartet and Beautifully Foolish Endeavor! IDK if you did the Audio for Clap When You Land, but if you didn't I HIGHLY recommend. I love listening to books in verse, especially the ones with the author as the narrator, cuz then you get a better feel for the flow and cadence of the verses, and Elizabeth Acevedo's voice is FANTASTIC and beautiful! (I believe she's Yahairah, while there's another wonderful voice actor who is Camino) There's also a little interview/afterward type thing that she has after discussing the book and ethnicity and her relationship with the Dominican Republic and its just SO FREAKING INCREDIBLE! Sending you love

[@Lauren_aida]

Can't wait for you to finish the Ember in the Ashes series!!!

[@bookishbia3279]

weekly kat is my favorite thing

[@MsCaseydilla]

Hoping to join in for the Lore chat this month! So far I’m really liking it

[@Katytastic]

ooh that's great to hear!

[@StarsAndEmbers]

I have the King of Elfhame and I really gotta read it!

[@Katytastic]

it's a great little companion book! (and beautifully illustrated!!)

[@emilisse]

Oh I’ve missed you and all your videos. I’m currently reading Cemetery Boys and Lore will be for February I’m loving all these books.

[@Katytastic]

ooh i hope you enjoy both of those!!

[@emilisse]

@@Katytastic I am enjoying Cemetery Boys and I loved Clap When You Land that was just an inspiring story. Lore I know I will love...

[@BrittvanVliet]

omg I am also marathoning The Trials of Apollo and An Ember in the Ashes series this year!!

[@Katytastic]

wooo marathoning series is the best XD

[@TheBlueClover2012]

Miss you Kat! Now that you use twitter less I always look forward to your vids, just to see how u r doing lately. ♡ U have a special place in my heart as a youtuber ♡ PS: i listened to the audiobook n JULIAN is pronounced as "who-lee-aren't". Just FYI :)

[@aamanibeepath8239]

YAY KATTTTTTTTTT

[@danisuicidaphoto]

I am reading Clap When You Land now. Elizabeth Acevedo is quickly becoming of my favorite authors.

[@Katytastic]

her writing is just so lovely!

[@farewell_autumn]

I feel you would enjoy The Wicked + The Divine. Lore sounds similar! :3

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

LORE SOUNDS SO GOOD

[@Katytastic]

IT REALLY DOES

[@jananiananthanarayanan4794]
