The clips with the mansion are incredible, it felt like I was watching a Tim Burton film rather than a vlog! Also, you should read the Skyward novelas, they are super cute and add to the story, especially the second and third one. Be warned though, they weren't written by Sanderson and they read a bit like YA (in my opinion the first one is especially YA trope-y).
Happy Halloween! 🎃If there are any fans of The Nightmare Before Christmas here, I posted a really fun video celebrating the 30th anniversary by reading Sally’s book, seeing the movie in 3D and making a fun treat from the official cookbook!
I haven’t read interview with the vampire but I did watch the show that came out recently and I loved it (also the whole vampires turning into mist to enter through key holes happens in Dracula? Lucy writes about it and then Van Helsing talks about it a few times)
The plot of Two Twisted Crowns rreealllyy picks up and I found the duology ended in a very satisfying way. Much more action in the second book and I really loved it! I like it better than the first for sure.
i would highly recommend "the book of living secrets" a super fun read, about two best friends that get into their favorite book and discover that the world they love so much is not what they thought it is. spooky, queer and mysterious!
i've been so interested in checking out this series!! so i think i'm taking your rec as a sign to pick it up soon! and happy (belated) halloween to you as well!!🦇
So glad you mentioned what moves the dead! When you started talking about how house of hallow was nature horror, what moves the dead was the first thing I thought of!! 😅
I loved your vampathon vlog last year and this year is no different! They’re always so cozy and the editing is just chef’s kiss 🤌🏾 Also, I love pumpkin painting more than pumpkin carving too, so much more relaxing!!
Anne Rice is so amazing!! You’re going to love the book so much better than the movie. I need to reread these. I also recommend her Mayfair Witches series.
I'm getting out a looong reading slump and I'm currently starting Assassin's apprentice. I feel like the book will perfectly match with the monsoon weather outside!!!!
I tried to do Vampathon but life had other plans so I read like a book and a half for it. Fun seeing your experience though and will try again next year
If you finish the second book, there’s a whole book of novellas for it. I think the first two you can read after book two, but the one in Jorgen’s perspective comes after book three.
Anne rice is my favorite author! She's was my intro along with Dracula and tvd back in 2009 🫠🖤🔮 Incredible editing!!! I loved Curse for true love. It was an emotional weekend !
Vampathon was so much fun! I only managed to read 3.5 books. Of the books you read in this vlog, I've read Skyward, Interview with the Vampire, & Once Dark Window. I love Anne Rice and have a majority of her books. Her books are definitely not quick reads they should be savored like cheesecake. My husband and I watched Clue & had steak and potatoes for dinner.
totally agree that her books need to be read slowly! if i wasn't trying to read it for the readathon i definitely would have taken my time with it! and those sound like really chill halloween plans! i watched clue for the first time last year and really enjoyed it!
I hope you will pick up the next book, Vampire Lestat because, in my opinion, is even more spectacular. Vampire Lestat is one of my fave vampire books of all time.
Love a Halloween Day vlog! I was disturbed 😂by the lack of bat glasses in this vlog and then boom the last minute save!! Love the painted bat pumpkin! One Dark Window used “perk” too much as well as “glassy” but I enjoyed the originality of the plot. Happy Halloween Katie 🖤👻💀🎃📖
i was honestly distraught when i realized how long it had been since the bat glasses had made an appearance😳 and happy (late) halloween to you as well!!🦇🍂🎃
Speaking of mists, @14:26 of the clip, there was a misty cloud behind you, or was that edited. It kinda spooked me. 👻 I love your content every time. Happy reading! 😊
Hiiii! If you want a great sci fi rec- Ready Player One. If you haven’t read it already, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND this book. I’ve read it twice, which is really unusual for me, and it was just as good the second time. IT’S SO GOOD
The Skyward series atm is my favourite series of all time partially thanks to Sophie Aldred narrating the UK audiobooks. Aldred played Ace in Doctor Who many years ago and I had a huge crush on her. You can also get the Skyward Flight trilogy of novellas which do give more incite into some parts of the story. Unfortunately, it isn’t written by Brandon Sanderson but Janci Patterson, under Sanderson’s guidance. Whilst I enjoyed Patterson’s writing she introduced tropes that I personally would have preferred to read in other books than the Skyward series. Yes they are worth reading, and I would like to read more of Janci’s work, but I don’t know how they will effect the story as a whole.
I'm reading a house with good bones by t.kingfisher and I'm kinda enjoying it. it's just enough spookiness with a bit of humor and dare I say cozy? it's also nature horror with bugs and plants and roses and it's just good
if you haven’t read project hail mary by andy weir yet, it’s such a stunning sci fi and one of the best books i’ve ever read! i think you would love it!
The mug you used for the hot chocolate is gorgeous? Was that a subscription box mug or is it available elsewhere online? Of the books you read in this vlog, I have previously read Interview with the Vampire, a number of years ago. I am planning on rereading it before the end of the year. First time I read it, I read it in one sitting, finishing it in the wee small hours of the morning (like 2am ish) and was so scared I had to sleep with the light on! I share this story to demonstrate why I don’t read a lot of horror - too susceptible to my imagination running away with me (kind of like Anne of Green Gables and the haunted wood 😹)… Thank you for sharing this video, it was (as always) really enjoyable. ✨✨✨✨
Katieee i really really need to recommend you Good Omens written by Neil Gaiman, i think you are going to love it!! Pls give it a chance, it has a television adaptation and It’s great!!
Such a fun reading vlog. I thought my roommate is a vampire is a cute fall read and I feel like that book is getting a bad rep with the ratings. It is a fun read. I read 78% into Skyward and unfortunately not for me. For Halloween I am planning to take my kids around trick or treating and watching a movie to celebrate the holiday.
thank you!! and i looked up the rating for my roommate is a vampire and i can't believe it only has a 3.5, i feel like that's super low because it really is just a fun book! but i hope you had a fun halloween!🦇🎃
I need to read “Interview with a Vampire”, but here is a thought- if Claudia was turned a a child, wouldn’t it freeze the development of her brain the same way it did the rest of her body is?
What if I told you Lastat could be your favorite character? Read the second book in the series at least. ❣️❣️❣️❣️ Updated: if you think IWTV is slow it doesn’t pick up the pace in the next book but it is spicy.
even though i thought interview was slow i definitely plan on picking up the other books in the series! i must see this apparent redemption for lestat👀👀
Ciao Katie il mio nome è Laura e ti seguo dall'Italia. Adoro i tuoi video i tuoi paesaggi e le tue musiche mi rilassano molto e in più sono un amante della lettura anche io e sono molto felice di vedere le tue infinite TBR . In questo periodo dell'anno io ho avuto modo di iniziare a conosce un grande autore per me che è Stephen King leggendo Holly It e Shining . Per il resto ti ringrazio perché adoro davvero prendermi una bella tazza calda con tisana e vedere i tuoi video. Li sto recuperando tutti e ti faccio davvero i miei complimenti. Dall'Italia un saluto Laura

The vibes of this video are just immaculate. Watching in March makes me want it to be Fall immediately. 🎃👻🍁
The clips with the mansion are incredible, it felt like I was watching a Tim Burton film rather than a vlog!

that is such a compliment omg thank you!!😭🫶🏻 and i will definitely check out the novellas! thank you for a heads up on the writing though!!
That mansion reminds me of the Knives Out house! Love your reading vlogs as always Katie! ♥
thank you!!🥰
Happy Halloween! 🎃If there are any fans of The Nightmare Before Christmas here, I posted a really fun video celebrating the 30th anniversary by reading Sally’s book, seeing the movie in 3D and making a fun treat from the official cookbook!
I also have a spooky cemetery/graveyard reading vlog 👻🪦🕸️
👻👻👻👀 I love these types of your vlogs. They're so calming and cozy.🍂🧡🍂
I love that her vids are always so long 😭❤️❤️❤️
I haven’t read interview with the vampire but I did watch the show that came out recently and I loved it (also the whole vampires turning into mist to enter through key holes happens in Dracula? Lucy writes about it and then Van Helsing talks about it a few times)

spooky, queer and mysterious!
Just came across your channel recently and i am loving it…currently binge watching your videos while reading❤

My thoughts exactly about the one dark window, not that invested in it,but I liked the leads so gonna continue to second book
HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR VIDEOS SOOOO AESTHETIC YOU SERIOUSLY HAVE TALENT GIRL YOU’RE AWESOME
THANK YOU OMG😭😭😭
I highly recommend the Illuminae series by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff, such a great sci-fi series! I love your videos. Happy Halloween!
I second this!!! I read and listened because the audio is fantastic.
@@alexismrs.bookdragon2970 I never did the audio, I might have to when I reread!
i've been so interested in checking out this series!! so i think i'm taking your rec as a sign to pick it up soon! and happy (belated) halloween to you as well!!🦇
So glad you mentioned what moves the dead! When you started talking about how house of hallow was nature horror, what moves the dead was the first thing I thought of!! 😅
Every time you post I need to save the video for a period of time where there are no interruptions. Can't wait for your next vlog!! ❤❤
the series for interview of a vampire is way better than the movie! love the vlog as always!
If you enjoyed the alien thing part on skyward, you're going to LOVE the second novel in the series, it my favorite one so far!
I loved your vampathon vlog last year and this year is no different! They’re always so cozy and the editing is just chef’s kiss 🤌🏾 Also, I love pumpkin painting more than pumpkin carving too, so much more relaxing!!
ahh thank you!!!😭🫶🏻 and definitely agree that pumpkin painting is more relaxing than carving!!🎃
Such a good vlog, the best way to start this day 🎃 Happy Halloween 🎃
Anne Rice is so amazing!! You’re going to love the book so much better than the movie. I need to reread these. I also recommend her Mayfair Witches series.
ooh i didn't know she had a witchy series!! i will definitely be checking that out!
PLS the edition of The Hurricane Wars you unboxed in this video is absolutely STUNNING
Also, I am in awe of how aesthetic this vlog was 🥺😍
Hi ! If you loved sci-fi, please try and read the first 3 tomes of Dune. I have eat them up and cannot stop thinking about them since !
I'm getting out a looong reading slump and I'm currently starting Assassin's apprentice. I feel like the book will perfectly match with the monsoon weather outside!!!!
Omg house of hollow is sooo good! Hope you like it
ending my halloween day with this cinematic masterpiece 🧡
ahh thank you!!😭😭🫶🏻
hope you had a great halloween! your videos always bring me peace, thank you!
Your spooky vlog/vidéos contents are the best !!!!

I tried to do Vampathon but life had other plans so I read like a book and a half for it. Fun seeing your experience though and will try again next year
Happy Halloween Katie 🎃 thank you for another great video
Katie the intro felt like it was straight out of a horror movie! LOVE THE VIDEO BTW❤️
If you finish the second book, there’s a whole book of novellas for it. I think the first two you can read after book two, but the one in Jorgen’s perspective comes after book three.
I did Vampathon as well this year, it was so much fun! Loved your vlog ☺
slaying the cinematography and editing game
ahh thank you!!😭
the intro editing 🤯🤯 Also yay you reading two of my favorite books (Interview and House of Hollow), and I'm so glad you enjoyed them!!

Incredible editing!!!
I loved Curse for true love. It was an emotional weekend !

I loved Interview With the Vampire and House of Hollow! Glad you liked them, another great cosy vlog Katie 🎃

There is 3 main books in the Skyward Series but the is a bind up of 3 novellas and there is a prequel as well.

Happy Halloween, Katie!! 🎃
I really like your bat pumpkin!
You should try Dead Space, it is a sci fi horror book and it is so creepy!
I'm reading a house with good bones by t.kingfisher and I'm kinda enjoying it.
it's just enough spookiness with a bit of humor and dare I say cozy?
it's also nature horror with bugs and plants and roses and it's just good
if you haven’t read project hail mary by andy weir yet, it’s such a stunning sci fi and one of the best books i’ve ever read! i think you would love it!
I NEED THAT MUG NEAR THE END!!!! 39:59!
watch the interview with the vampire tv show instead of the movie!! it’s so much better
I love your videos. Tiger editing is top notch. ❤
thank you ahh!!🥰
my favorite booktuber🧡

21:48 i mean…the daylight rings were great bc not every vampire had them
New video ahhhhhhh !!!!!

Wilder Girls for nature horror!!! 38:20

I also wait until Halloween to watch Hocus Pocus lol !
I want to pick up Interview with a vampire so bad!
Such a fun reading vlog. I thought my roommate is a vampire is a cute fall read and I feel like that book is getting a bad rep with the ratings. It is a fun read.

Have you read They Thirst by Robert McCammon?
omggg which Over The Garden Wall comic is that? I have never been able to find them digitally, please hook a girl up!
57:58 is that not just the shadow and bone plot?😭😭
I need to read “Interview with a Vampire”, but here is a thought- if Claudia was turned a a child, wouldn’t it freeze the development of her brain the same way it did the rest of her body is?
What if I told you Lastat could be your favorite character? Read the second book in the series at least. ❣️❣️❣️❣️

Queen of the Damned is way better than Interview. Lastat actually becomes likeable lol
Totally agree! The series as a whole is really good❤
i didn't know such a thing was possible!!
Boo 👻
😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
🖤💚
I thought my roommate is a vampire was so boring and dumb 😭😭 but that's on me I wanted something else from it
Free and help Palestine ❤

Yeah I had to pause on one dark window. It’s just not peeking my interest.
I was waiting for a video today, because I was so sure you would post on halloween🫶🏻👻
