Winterween Vlog ❄😱 I am so ASHAMED that I loved this book!

[@danielleyarbrough8274]

There are only a few people that I will sit long enough to watch an almost hr long vlog. Loved every minute of it while I ate my breakfast!!!

[@KatieColson]

OMG THANK YOU DANIELLE! Also, thank you for sticking around on my channel for so long. I feel like I’ve been talking with you since the beginning!

[@danielleyarbrough8274]

@@KatieColson I know right❣️ I remember when you were in the hundreds now your sub count is in the thousands🤯

[@adriannaslibrary2909]

“Doing the laundry and putting it away are two very different activities” YES, I’m glad I’m not the only one 😂😂 I’ll do the laundry one day and then it will just sit in the basket to be put away because I’m like “that’s enough work for one day” 😂

[@krzysamm7095]

You had me cracking up with your responses to Tender Is the Flesh. Reminded me of a time when I was waiting in line a little boy about 3 was sucking his thumb. I asked him if it tasted good and he nodded his head yes. Then I asked what it tasted like and no joke he pulled his thumb out of his mouth long enough to tell me it tasted like” barbecue chicken “ and then he stuck it right back into his mouth without missing a beat. I had to give the kid kiddos for thinking on his feet.

[@andreavelez4968]

The way I was cooking and had to drop everything and run to my phone and skip the spoiler 🤣🤣 that's enough action and terror for the year LOL

[@KatieColson]

HAHA! So sorry that it came on so fast.

[@carissa1446]

Haha I was cooking breakfast and did the same!

[@melissareise3549]

I am so glad to have stumbled upon another slow reader 🥺 I always feel so self conscious because so many of my friends are fast readers, so thank you for showing me that there are other book lovers who are also slow readers!

[@KatieColson]

Oh yeah! I listen to audiobooks fast but physically reading is so slow for me. Still love it though

[@Lee-rn9mz]

I mean this in the best way possible, I love how chaotic your vlogs are! They make me so excited to read.

[@ravenhairedreader]

"making new broads" I'm dying. Also love the Katie Colson full length feature film!! I always look forward to your lengthy reading vlogs!

[@perho]

The end of Tender is the Flesh effed me up. Literally that last page, I could not!

[@KatieColson]

YES!! Omg I was SCREAMING!

[@Suhailee91]

Oh yes Katie I loved tender is the flesh! As a vegan i was even more disgusted ! But it was an amazing book ! The ending had me 😳 speechless!

[@danamonsees-cns]

Can’t wait for your 2023 ween vlogs!! Your content brings me so much joy I just wanted to say thank you!

[@KatieColson]

I’m so excited for them as well! It’s like the only Readathons I go FULL tilt for, ha

[@Imane-vi6ke]

I can watch you talk about books forever! This is so fun! 🤣

[@Imane-vi6ke]

You sold me on so many books, my wallet is going to hurttt

[@alyssagalipeau]

I found your channel over Christmas and you have instantly become my favourite! Your personality is the best and you’re so fun to watch ❤️

[@KatieColson]

Oh I love that! Thank you so much, Alyssa!!

[@Showtunediva]

I agree!

[@haileyhughes]

SOMEONE PUT MY THOUGHTS INTO WORDSSSSS about comfort me with apples omg you literally plucked the words out of my brain and put them in the order my brain wanted to but i couldn’t do on my own…… thank u

[@MonaLisa-iq2mh]

I totally agree with you about “Near the Bone”. I wanted more Bigfoot and so I lost interest and didn’t finish after I was 75% in. Great video!

[@sassyreaderj]

I love love LOVE this vlog. One editing part that I loved most was what you did when you went to Dunkin, Goodwill, and did your laundry with the audiobook playing and on top of the video. I loved this, It felt really cozy, something I would be doing at home.

[@gabbyreads]

The WEENIE VLOGS 🤣 I love it

[@gabbyreads]

Heck yes!! The Push is such a great reread! That book is so great 😍

[@gabbyreads]

It makes me so excited to see how much you enjoyed We Need To Do Something!!! 😍😍😍 I was so shook by that book too omg the ending is amazing!

[@gabbyreads]

The clips of you reading the quotes from Tender is the Flesh 🤣 I love it lmao

[@gabbyreads]

Lmao I love how much you love Tender is the Flesh 🤣🙌

[@libraryofliz6693]

ok i watched the spoiler section for comfort me with apples cause i thought i wouldn't want to read it, but after hearing the spoiler i'm intrigued and actually might read it now even though i know what happens😅

The combination of red wine and books is a chef's kiss

This is the Weenie vlog that Ive been waiting for all week! The Queen has bequeathed us with an hour long vlog!!!

[@ariane1159]

I discovered your channel this week and I’m obsessed!

[@KatieColson]

That's amazing! Thank you so much. Happy to have you, Ariane

[@oliviareadsalatte]

let’s go wEENIES 🙌🏼🎃👻✨

[@pinkdarkgrl]

slow reader gang!!!! i also read slow and it is so frustrating sometimes

[@lani6700]

I *immediately* picked up We Need To Do Something before even finishing the video. The audio is on Scribd and that's all I needed to hear

[@justinkhchen]

Convenience Store Woman is definitely unique... I wouldn't quite call it a 'cute' read (it's also VERY Japanese) - Glad to see We Need to Do Something worked out for you! I'll always remember that 'dog' scene... 😱

[@reading_faerie]

“We don’t eat raw animals!?” Lol 😂 we do Katie it’s called sushi 🤣😭 but I know what you mean ahahahahha

[@shesjustbeinemily]

We need Springween

[@jenniferlewin3673]

I second that!!

[@nicoledrew9991]

I am so amazed you can walk and read at the same time. I can read when on a bus but your skills wow lol. Love your channel !

[@SheeshAleesh0718]

OMG SPEAK IS MY FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME!

[@ckurnath]

That same thing happened to me when I had a Toyota and took it to the dealership for a oil change and then I just went to Jiffy Lube for future oil changes because no one has time to spend all day waiting for an oil change

[@KatieColson]

Good to know it wasn’t a one time thing. So I won’t waste my time again

[@kierrajokronk5966]

Bro...my husband is laughing at me cackling to myself about your commentary on Tender is the Flesh because it is one of my favorite books and I get made fun of all the time for telling people about it

[@sublimesagas8599]

If you are talking about those head massagers that look kind of like a kitchen whisk I’ve definitely seen them for sale at Walmart - if you have one near your area 😊

[@AlexiaM]

Love your vlogs and also love that you insert diabetes info in them bc diabetes is such a big issue in America (type 2 mostly but that’s another convo for another day) and it’s great for the medical info to be normalized!

[@ksolorio11]

This video helped me get through folding my laundry. Thank you 🥲

[@bookswithgeri]

THE 'WEENIES' 🤣🤣 I CACKLED 🤣🤣

[@holly27796]

I really loved seeing and learning about your sensor, I’d love to see more of your diabetes life!

[@brookeboarman8256]

Recently discovered this channel and I love her personality- it makes me smile and laugh while watching😂 also sooo many books I want to read in this video so now I just want to read them even more! Subscribed:)

YESSSS!!! for the merch!! I am in love with that picture and need it in my life!! Just a suggeston, not only prints it would look great on sweaters and tote bags. xx

I'm so glad u enjoyed Tender is the Flesh!! Can't wait to hear your ending thoughts! And Dunkin needs to sponsor u already 🔥

I'm late to this vlog but mailing live animals through the mail is common. When I worked for the USPS I was always worried about getting snakes! I'm glad I never did.

[@emmasisk7305]

I absolutely love your vlogs! Your reactions while reading are so fun to watch

[@miachalupa]

watching you read tender is the flesh is so entertaining

[@Kindlelover88]

Katie watching you talk about tinder is the flesh I swear I haven’t giggled as much lately as that. When you said you were wondering if you were that much of a sicko I was wanting to read the book even more.

[@Hillary429]

I loved and hated Tender is the Flesh so much! 🥩 it left me nauseous for days afterwards and now I’m giving vegetarianism a real go 🌱 ⭐️⭐️🌟⭐️⭐️

[@KatieColson]

Oh yes I heard from so many people that they went vegan for months after reading that book

[@laurayoung9418]

Yaaaas I’ve missed your vlogs Katie !! Love watching your journey with books 😍

[@isabellajohnson956]

I love “ the weenies.” I also love weekendweenies! I’ve been doing them for years without having a good name to call them!

[@ILoveJahangeer]

Katie-Kat, you literally crack me up; you’re too funny! I LOVED the video! Continue being amazing!

[@JeanThigpen]

I came across your channel looking for a book journal set-up I loved your book journal. I don't read gothic books, because they frighten me. But, you are hilarious. I've been laughing out loud all night. You really should be an comedian. I love your energy. The way that you described the books you've read are hilarious and very interesting. I will continue to watch your videos.

[@abbybeck3370]

“this is like a book for a polly pocket!” that was adorable -academiabby

[@isabellajohnson956]

“How is it so action packed and so boring?” This is exactly how I felt about both Grim Lovelies books. I DNF’d the second one. Like there was so much going on and it was sooooo boring. I was so disappointed

[@beccawalker5332]

I let this vlog play while I was showering, and when you said "I'm gonna just talk about spoilers, so skip ahead" I was like "well shart I can't skip ahead" so I just screamed until they were over....... yup.

[@parkerrose3590]

I read slow too. I also watch movies slow, I'll rewind a scene to watch it again. Also, I do often wonder what people on TV and movies smell like. I'm just weird that way. LOL

[@girlscandrum22]

Your Dunkin confessions had me 🤣🤣🤣

[@megandent4580]

Katie thank you omg I’ve been sick this weekend (covid is that you?) and this video totally lifted my spirits. It has me dyinnnnggg. I cracked up when you started reading tender is the flesh.

[@LiteraryLightweight]

I was so excited that someone sent you Convenience Store Woman. I've read that book about 3 times since it came out a couple years ago. If you enjoy Neil Gaiman's narration, definitely check out Norse Mythology by him. It was way funnier than I expected!!

[@KatieColson]

Read it 3 times? Wow, that's high praise. I need to get to asap.

[@sharylgrangaard8484]

NEIL'S Shadow of the Gods

[@LiteraryLightweight]

@@KatieColson I think what I connected with was the societal expectations that are put on the character. I think aces and aros will relate to some of the comments and situations in the book. The character isn't described as one or the other but I still connected with the story.

[@sharong7041]

You should totally read the Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey! Similar vibes to Comfort Me With Apples, also a sci-fi dealing with what a woman "should be"!

[@chrisisbookinit]

as the only person in the book community who loved The Project by Courtney Summers and gave it five stars, I definitely would have gotten a history of wild places from book of the month if I had known there was a cult element to it

[@leslieshaw5028]

Also read Tender is the Flesh this year and was obsessed…and also ashamed 😂 Great video!

[@KatieColson]

Omg thank you for saying that! That makes me feel better

[@jaimelh4643]

Agreed on Near the Bone, needed more cryptid. I also listened to the audiobook and found it grating.

[@neverendingsadventures]

Girl!!! I'm addicted to dunkin too!!! What are someofyour go to drinks? I love their refreshers, and their iced coffees (generally with a flavor in it).

[@Eridi4na]

I love that head massager! I bought mine at a bookstore😄

[@KatieColson]

I still haven’t found one! Now that you’re saying you love yours, I might go buy one online

[@FreyaWarr]

I read Come Forth and Thaw yesterday. It was very intriguing and haunting. Highly recommend! It’s only 150 pages so it’s I good one sitting book.

[@Hillary429]

Wish we had gotten more of a Tender is the Flesh wrap up discussion, now I need a spoiler review from you!

[@Alicemyreality]

I truly love your content always so interesting and such a incredible way about you i only came across your channel few days back my only regret not finding you sooner in the space of only a few days ive non stop been watching your videos. Your personality truly does give me strength to keep fighting and your recommendations your love for books have truly got me into books once again im currently reading tender in the flesh and it really is incredible. Thank you for being you and stay safe and take care x

[@skyofdiamonds3058]

✨ I’ve been waiting for this one! ✨ definitely intrigued about tender is the flesh… BUT I’m already mostly vegetarian and very meat sensitive so I’m guessing it’s not a good idea 🤣 also loooove the diabetes content since I don’t often see that representation from my fav KZbinrs! Have you tried putting your Dexcom in other places besides your inner arm? I love putting mine of my thighs and back around my love handles. ALSO that feta thing happened to me this week too so you’re rage was understood and it was so funny 😂

[@stephaniebookish]

LOL I read slow af too! Audiobooks save me

[@MokeleMbembeLives]

I was sleeping on Tender is the Flesh. Soon as you gave your review I ordered it. Good looks, fam! 🙌🏾

[@KatieColson]

Okay good! I so hope you love it cause it is such an interesting book. Just so you know, it’s translated. So if there’s anything confusing, that’s why

[@reeyuhbeegale]

I'm so tempted to read Tender is the Flesh but I'm so worried if my squeamishness can stomach it. I'm super happy you had a great reading week!

Ok I don't know how I ended up here but I am 19 min into the vlog and I'm subscribing lol. I love it.

OMG please please please read the novel Speak! I was so happy it was adapted into a graphic novel but i honestly feel the original book is just *chef's kiss* 😁😁

So off topic, but, ok, can you share what nail polish you’re wearing? LOVE IT. p.s. Great video.

[@meganngeorge]

P.p.s. Black Opium is amazing.

[@KatieColson]

Of course! Are you talking about the black color? It’s Licorice by Essie with Big Matte Top Coat by Sally Hansen on top. If you mean the burgundy color, don’t buy it or look for it. It’s trash. It looks good from afar but up close its streaky and terrible

We need to do something is on Hulu too!! I had the same reaction!!

[@Magicme79]

There’s a deadly neurological illness - Kuru - that comes from cannibalism. So a society that was based on cannibalism, would be horribly afflicted by this disease. I can’t put stuff like that aside when I read books, lol.

[@KatieColson]

EXACTLY! No you’re totally right. I think that is what would end up happening.

[@Hillary429]

They do somewhat mention that in the book. They talk about how in the beginning they did not eat the brain for fear of disease but over time people started doing it. They mention how the government says it’s safe but like everything in the book you just know you can’t trust anything they say.

[@JamieReads_1]

Great video. Damn girl I have been in a parking lot and reading. Then I loom up from my book and was like why are people staring at me. And I was like okay maybe I am being werid. Hahaha 🛸📚

[@JillyMae89]

Ah hour vlog??? 😭👏🏼👏🏼❤️

[@alldressedupformars]

Yes! Piece by piece is the worst! I've never in my life thrown a book except for when I threw McCarthy's The Road right across the room like 12 years ago after the basement scene. 😑 Killing people for food by amputation so the meat won't spoil has to be the most dehumanizing thing.

[@lani6700]

Katie if you are seeing this have you tried the new Dunkin brown sugar cookie swirl? It's incredible

[@KatieColson]

I haven’t. Oh no. Now I can’t stop thinking about it. Do you like the Hazelnut swirl and is it better???

[@lani6700]

@@KatieColson they each have their own joy to them tbh. The brown sugar cookie feels more cozy and wintery, but hazelnut never fails. I'm a hazelnut b through and through but I'm getting brown sugar for as long as they have it! It tastes like a warm hug wrapped in sweaters whereas hazelnut tastes like stepping through your front door after a long trip

[@taintedcrimson]

This has absolutely nothing to do with this vlog - which was amazing as always, I wish I wasn't such a weenie (yes, I went there) so I could read Tender as the Flesh - but the other day you mentioned Neon Gods (on Insta??). I immediately ordered it and Devoured that book in 24 hours. I could NOT put it down. What an amazingly sexy retelling of Hades and Persephone, thank you for that random mention that consumed my soul while I was sick on the couch for two days. 🖤
