This! I felt like I needed tickets or like I was let into a Beyonce concert without paying! Like what how did you I get here thank you for the hard work @KatieColson but all booktubers who are so helpful and funny and honest. Ridiculous when these authors decide to scalp our edges ,pull our wigs and stab our hearts
My husband is currently being assessed for ADHD and my 6 year old son just got diagnosed and I squealed out to them - this is hyperfixation at it finest!
Not gonna lie, I was a bit worried about including that cause I didn't want you to hate it. But I didn't think people would really GET how much you helped me without visually showing them what you went through, ha
That part touched me as well. These ladies out here touching grass to do the damn thing restored something in my bitter ass, misanthropic soul. Lord....
Listen editing, flawless! Commitment, flawless! The collab behind the scenes, flawless! Loved every second 💖🫶🏻 thank you so much for including me, what an honor!
omg ELLIAS! Thank you so much 🖤🥹 Know that I had you in my Google spreadsheet of people I was so hoping to be able to include. But, alas, you were too unique this year. We love a man defying the consumerism standards 💁🏻♀️💋 Also, I cut an entire 2 and a half minute clip of people who put Fourth Wing as their favorite book dissing it for it's terrible writing and bad world building and predictable plot. When I tell you over HALF the people that put it in their favorites had a clip of them roasting it. But I cut it cause I didn't want to be negative. It was hilarious though.
Ahhhhh, I knew this would be great and I was still surprised by the QUALITY and the EDITING!!! The way you layered so many people saying the book title at the same time was so cool!!! 😍 I’m so freaking proud of you for completing this huge project!!! 🥹👏 I know this video was a lot for you to take on, but your effort really shows and this video is such a masterpiece!!!
🥹💖 aw GABBY! Thank you so much. p.s. watch the very very end of the video. I didn't remember that I said that while filming but I had to leave it in cause it's the TRUTH.
@@KatieColsonAw that’s so sweet!! I am so happy we have gotten so close and to see your channel grow over the years has made me so happy!! 🥰 love you friend!!! 💗💗💗
Yes! She worked so damn hard on this video! Wow. The whole time I was like this is INCREDIBLE editing. :) So lovely and so wonderful to see some new faces I've never seen before as well!!
Watching this video along with the premiere really felt like the entire booktube community was together at one place and time! Can't even express how proud I am to be a Bunny and part of the community you have built! I'm so proud of you and saw how much effort and how much frustration went into making this, so I hope you're as proud of it as we are! Can't wait until next year's video! 🏆
AHHHH! Girl stop! I screenshot this to print out and put in my journal. That's how much this means to me. Thank you so much. And I absolutely agree about the community in the premiere. I wasn't paying any attention to the video. I was just reading the live comments, ha
Katie your dedication is EVERYTHING!!! You are an absolute legend for doing this!! The editing is flawless. The commentary is hilarious. Thank you so much for including me! You are just in a league of your own!!! 1000000/10!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
awwww, KARA! I adore you. Thank you so freaking much. Honored to include you in the video. I will absolutely be watching your favorites of next year in hopes of including you again. And every year after.
You're so right. It meant the absolute world to me and I can't even wrap my head around it. I had such a horrible year of friendship in 2023. So to come out the gate swinging in 2024 is so heart warming
Your reaction was exactly mine when I saw the top 1... its so bad im sorry but I dont trust people that put it on their top list 💀. Btw you did an amazing job at the editing! Props to you, cant imagine how hard it was
Aw, SYD! Thank you so fking MUCH! I love including you in these videos because you're always so energetic and happy when talking about books. And you always mention something that no one else does somehow. Like with Tress of the Emerald Sea, you and Lexi were the ONLY people who mentioned her being in love with Charlie and the Duke sending him away. Seriously, nobody else even brought it up, haha
Everybody LOVES your project so much that everybody wants to help you! This project is a huge undertaking and is so important for readers, authors, and booktubers! You are so fricken awesome for having thought it up and so extra amazing for bringing it back for another year. The information in here is INVALUABLE. You're amazing, Katie!
I don't know what to say. This is THE comment. This did me in. I screenshot this and am going to print it out to put in my journal. That's how much it impacted me. Thank you beyond much. The thought that this is beneficial to authors is wild to me. How eye opening. And that people in the book community want to help because they love the project is just astonishing in the most amazing way.
YES. tennis player, tennis fan, tennis fanatic here. everything about carrie soto that makes it so intriguing and addicting aka the complex, driven, ambitious female charachter, the rivalry, the engaging nature of every point and every match all of that is heart and soul of real life tennis ESPECIALLY womens tennis. if carrie soto felt real to you its because she is, shes a mix of so many very real, very complex, and very incredible female tennis players that play on the real tour every day. if u ever want a place to get into the very real vibe from the book try reading a little bit into maria sharapova, vika azarenka, caroline wozniaki, ofcourse serena williams. its all that and more and its all real
OmGGGGGGGG but it’s the way that I’m also doing that with my job. “Yeah I can’t work that shift cause I’m premiering a video that’s kind of a big deal 💁🏻♀️”
Am I in awe of the amount of work that went into making this video? Yes. But am I even more impressed that she listed every single booktuber making this an amazing resource to find booktubers? Hell yes.
This wins the best book tube collab video of the year are you kidding me 👏🏻👏🏻 the fact that our fellow booktubers and book community came to the rescue has made my month. I haven’t seen a team effort like this and I’m living for it! I’m so glad to be part of this community ❤🎉
omg girl SAME! I feel the exact same way. It brings tears to my eyes to think of how these people came to my aid and showed me their support. I can't even put it into words 🥹
Fantastic job, Katie. Im blown away by the sheer amount of work. And the help and collaboration among friends is so beautiful to see. Job well done, girl, JOB WELL DONE!
Aw, thank you so much. I appreciate not only the compliment but that you recognize the time and work that went into it. That makes the compliment hit twice as hard. So thank you, Katy!
Once again, AMAZING editing. The work you put into this is so appreciated. I can only imagine how long it took along with all the other unseen work. Well done.
Ummmm, are you kidding me?! This may be my favorite of these videos I’ve seen. I love that you included so many booktubers, and especially some smaller ones! Thank you so much for including me, also! I’m obsessed with how you and your friends edited the clips together. ☺️👏
okay wait I clicked on this video bc it’s long and I love falling asleep to book tube videos but THIS ONE I need to sit and actually watch bc it is such a gem just wow I can’t believe you put this together this is insane and amazing 💗💗
HOW DID I NOT KNOW I WAS IN THIS VIDEO, omg thank you so much for all your work on this, this is such an increible video, and I already can't wait for you to do this again!!
This video is such a love letter to books and booktube. Is there a better feeling than seeing other people sharing their joy about books that you love too!?
Thank you! The clips I took for the thank yous were SOOOOO long. I had to cut out so much that I really wanted to say but there just wasnt enough time. The video is already an hour long, ha
Aw, thank you, Rachel! You were somebody that I drug to the beginning of the timeline cause I needed to make SURE you were in the video.You don't get enough love in my opinion
Wow!!! This is the quickest a nearly hour long video has ever gone! You, your fellow booktuber friends and patreon members have all worked so hard on this video and I really appreciate it! Thank you! (Not that I'm expecting anyone to see this) This video was exactly what I needed!
Katie, this video is so amazing!!!!! I’m so proud of you for creating this and so happy that others were able to help!!! It is such a beautiful collaboration of BookTube and this community. You did it, 👑!
This was such a great video! I had my goodreads open, adding to my “want to read” list lol. I’m just dipping my toes into book tube this year with my own videos, so I loved seeing the diversity of so many different people brought together by a love of books!
Omg thank you so freaking much. I did just go make myself a drink and am currently just sitting here and trying to come to terms with the fact that it’s almost over 😮
Katie Colson!!!! YOU are a force to be reckoned with and I'm obsessed with YOU! This video was incredible, the production, the way it all came together. You're amazing! And I loved this. Thank you for including me and thank you for the incredible hard work you put in to this masterpiece. Love you a whole hecking ton girl 🫶🏼
Thank you so much!! From one content creator to another, I truly appreciate that comment. Also, the clip of you saying that Violet's mom was probably a sadist was so funny to me. A friend was like "How married are you to that clip? Cause you already have someone saying that her mom sucks" and I was like "no, it has to stay, it's hilarious" ha
@@KatieColson hahaha I was racking my brain to think what it was I'd said and the minute it came on screen I was laughing my head off 😂😂 she's an actual nut job! I stand by kudos to Violet for sticking it to her mum can that bish be crazy 😂❤️
Phenomenal video Katie! I am completely geeking out over being included- thank you! I can't wait to follow so many of the other amazing creators you featured as well! And an amazing list of books too!
This is next level editing! I cannot believe the amount of work you put into this video- it is EVERYTHING! Can't wait to watch it a million times over the next year. And thank you again for including me!
So the thing about goodreads ratings and comparing it to people's best books is that it isn't going to be a good representation. So for example, for Yellowface, it has a lower rating because people either loved it or didn't , but the people who did love it, loved it a lot and it went in their best books of the year (personally I didn't love it), same with Happy Place I think (I also didn't love it). With Forth Wing, it's on a lot of best books of the year because it was a lot of people's introduction to fantasy, either coming from romance or just from never having read a lot. So of course it's super popular (think Twilight popularity back in the day), but for people who read a lot of fantasy, it's not super great ;)
Katie: 1. You're AWESOME, and this was a hell of a lot of work. You GO GIRL! 2. Found you through the ever lovely Gavin Reads it All. Why have I not subscribed yet? You're totally my vibe, and now I have new content to read!!! Yay!!!! So.... 3. Subscribed. ❤ Can't wait to watch all your old videos as well as your new ones!
AW! 🥹🖤 I love this comment for so many reasons. First off, Gavin is king and I adore him and everything adjacent to him. So you say you came here from his channel?? That is HIGH praise. That is a huge compliment to me. Also, you subscribed? Thank you SO MUCH! I'm happy to have you and I hope I can live up to the hype that this video obviously instilled in you, ha
@@KatieColson ...I have no idea why UA-cam deleted my comment. 😵💫. Lol Yes! Gavin seems like such a sweet human, with a bit of spice 😅. I don't know him personally, but I feel like we would be friends if we did! We have a bunch of similar tastes in common. Since he had you on reading sprints the other day, I liked your vibes together. Then, he posted about this video on his channel, and I clicked on it. I had NO IDEA that you knew Gabby (GabbyReads) and Lexi (Alexandra_roselyn), and you either know or follow Hannah (Clockwork Reader); I follow all of them and I am subscribed to their channels. When I figured that how many Six Degrees of Gavin we had in common, I was sold. Subscribed. Done 😁👍 I love your energy, and I love your vibe. (You're hilarious too: there are times where you say something, and you put your foot in your mouth and laugh it off, that totally reminds me of me ROFL 🤣🤣🤣). I'm excited to see what all you got! (Sidenote: I watched one of your bookhaul videos and loved it the one where you bought Fullmetal manga. I laughed, and my jaw dropped. I just bought the whole set a couple months ago too!!! I'm reentering my manga love story!) ...y'all make me wish I had enough time and courage to do UA-cam content. I'm scared lol
AW! omg thank you so much! Perfectionism is a nice way to put it, ha. But, yes, it definitely was dedication but I'm so proud of it. So it was all worth it in the end.
Aw, thank you, Ty! I loved your clips. So happy to have found your video in time to include it in this project. It would have suffered without it for sure.
Katie!!!! Thank you for all of your hard work! here I am with my paper and pen ready to take notes on all the books I need to read…. And turns out I already read all but Project Hail Mary - I guess it’s going on the list!
I loved last year’s video and I loved this one as well! I hope you make these every year forever. Such a wonderful celebration of our community ❤️ Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into this. I giggled and smiled through the whole thing. Watching other booktubers be so enthusiastic about their favorite books was truly so infectious and it makes me happy and proud to be a reader and making videos in this community. Thank You! We appreciate you! 🏆🏆🏆
aw, I appreciate this comment so much. Not only did you watch and love last year's video. But you came back for round two. I completely agree about how infectious the joy of watching someone rave about a book is.
AW! Thank you so much! I loved your clips so much. I had to make you the intro for Fourth Wing cause I just think you're so freaking cute. So energetic and bubbly and passionate about the books. Loved it. Thanks for being a part of this community!
@@KatieColson that is quite literally the sweetest thing anyone has ever said about me so thank you so much! Your kind words mean the world! Thank you for apart of this community and lifting up so many voices! You are an inspiration!
i can't tell what sparked the bigger emotion watching this; actually making it in the video or how wholesome and amazing the booktube community is as a whole 😍
I started watching you last year because of your 2022 favourites video ❤ so so glad you decided to do it again, thank you so much for all the effort you put in ❤️
Aw, thank you for so many reasons. 1. For coming back to see this video even though it was late. 2. Recognizing the work that it took. 3. Being subscribed for a whole year just based on last years video. I appreciate the wait you had to put in to get this one. I'm sure you were wondering if it would get posted at all, ha
I never doubted for a second that you'd put it up ✌🏻 it's obviously something you're extremely proud of! It's also so heart warming that others wanted to help you do it ❤️ Absolutely worth the wait 💅🏻
Not all heroes wear capes, some of them are Katie watching 700 videos to give us the best 2023 booktube recap to ever exist❤️✨
THIS IS MY SUPER BOWL
Agreed 💯
THIS!!😆❤
Came here to say this!!!
This is fantastic!
Yessss 😂🫶🏼
This! I felt like I needed tickets or like I was let into a Beyonce concert without paying! Like what how did you I get here thank you for the hard work @KatieColson but all booktubers who are so helpful and funny and honest. Ridiculous when these authors decide to scalp our edges ,pull our wigs and stab our hearts
We all let out the breath we didn’t realise we were holding ❤
Normally I would roll my eyes at this quote but in this case I totally agree 💯
Best comment I’ve ever read . Bahahaha
we heard screaming and realized it was ourselves
@@JanAgaton Lmao 🤣
@@JanAgaton 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
"I was supposed to watch 200 videos and ended up watching 715" sounds like the best description of my ADHD I've ever heard
My husband is currently being assessed for ADHD and my 6 year old son just got diagnosed and I squealed out to them - this is hyperfixation at it finest!
Does Katie have adhd? Wondered why I felt she was kindred!
Not the clip of me carrying the chair lmaoooooooooo
Not gonna lie, I was a bit worried about including that cause I didn't want you to hate it. But I didn't think people would really GET how much you helped me without visually showing them what you went through, ha
Sara carrying her desk chair was the cutest clip I have ever seen
Right?! I thought the same thing!
That part touched me as well. These ladies out here touching grass to do the damn thing restored something in my bitter ass, misanthropic soul. Lord....
The work that went into this video oh my goodness 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
oh wow thank you so much! I really appreciate that 🥺
Listen editing, flawless! Commitment, flawless! The collab behind the scenes, flawless! Loved every second 💖🫶🏻 thank you so much for including me, what an honor!
I loved all of your clips. It was honestly hard to cut you out and put other people in. They just didn't do it the same. Ha.
the dedication to this is insanity!!! ❤🔥
the fourth wing praise at the end HAHAHAHA
omg ELLIAS! Thank you so much 🖤🥹
Know that I had you in my Google spreadsheet of people I was so hoping to be able to include. But, alas, you were too unique this year. We love a man defying the consumerism standards 💁🏻♀️💋
Also, I cut an entire 2 and a half minute clip of people who put Fourth Wing as their favorite book dissing it for it's terrible writing and bad world building and predictable plot. When I tell you over HALF the people that put it in their favorites had a clip of them roasting it. But I cut it cause I didn't want to be negative. It was hilarious though.

Also, the clip of you saying that Violet's mom was probably a sadist was so funny to me. A friend was like "How married are you to that clip? Cause you already have someone saying that her mom sucks" and I was like "no, it has to stay, it's hilarious" ha
@@KatieColson hahaha I was racking my brain to think what it was I'd said and the minute it came on screen I was laughing my head off 😂😂 she's an actual nut job! I stand by kudos to Violet for sticking it to her mum can that bish be crazy 😂❤️
I always look forward to your content!!!
I appreciate that! Thank you so so much. For this, the tip, the compliment and always watching. THANK YOU
The dedication. You’re the goat. ⭐️
Oh My Goodness! WOW! This video is amazing I cannot tear my eyes away from the screen. Thank you for the labour of love to put this together.
This video was perfection !! The editing was chefs kiss oml
thank you so freaking much, glad to know that the editing was good. I was so hoping it would turn out that way
@@KatieColson the video is truly amazing I've already rewatched it and i know i will again and again thank you so much for this masterpiece
Phenomenal video Katie! I am completely geeking out over being included- thank you! I can't wait to follow so many of the other amazing creators you featured as well! And an amazing list of books too!
Yes! Thank you and thank YOU for being in this community and being so hyped when you talk about books you love!
Love your video's Katie and all of the encouragement you put into others! 🤍🏆
Well Done! Katie and everyone who helped put this video together! That was super fun to watch!!!! P.S still hated Fourth Wing haha
I really love how you gave credit to all your friends who helped make this video. Felt very genuine and heartfelt.
This is next level editing! I cannot believe the amount of work you put into this video- it is EVERYTHING! Can't wait to watch it a million times over the next year. And thank you again for including me!
THANK YOU! From one content creator to another, that compliment on the editing means so much to me.
Thanks!
Thank YOU so much. I am going to put this toward the groceries I'm going to get after not leaving my house for weeks and weeks, ha
This is absolutely amazing! We are so proud of you!
So the thing about goodreads ratings and comparing it to people's best books is that it isn't going to be a good representation. So for example, for Yellowface, it has a lower rating because people either loved it or didn't , but the people who did love it, loved it a lot and it went in their best books of the year (personally I didn't love it), same with Happy Place I think (I also didn't love it). With Forth Wing, it's on a lot of best books of the year because it was a lot of people's introduction to fantasy, either coming from romance or just from never having read a lot. So of course it's super popular (think Twilight popularity back in the day), but for people who read a lot of fantasy, it's not super great ;)
Katie:
1. You're AWESOME, and this was a hell of a lot of work. You GO GIRL!
2. Found you through the ever lovely Gavin Reads it All. Why have I not subscribed yet? You're totally my vibe, and now I have new content to read!!! Yay!!!!
So.... 3. Subscribed. ❤
Can't wait to watch all your old videos as well as your new ones!
AW! 🥹🖤 I love this comment for so many reasons. First off, Gavin is king and I adore him and everything adjacent to him. So you say you came here from his channel?? That is HIGH praise. That is a huge compliment to me. Also, you subscribed? Thank you SO MUCH! I'm happy to have you and I hope I can live up to the hype that this video obviously instilled in you, ha
@@KatieColson ...I have no idea why UA-cam deleted my comment. 😵💫. Lol
Yes! Gavin seems like such a sweet human, with a bit of spice 😅. I don't know him personally, but I feel like we would be friends if we did! We have a bunch of similar tastes in common.
Since he had you on reading sprints the other day, I liked your vibes together. Then, he posted about this video on his channel, and I clicked on it. I had NO IDEA that you knew Gabby (GabbyReads) and Lexi (Alexandra_roselyn), and you either know or follow Hannah (Clockwork Reader); I follow all of them and I am subscribed to their channels. When I figured that how many Six Degrees of Gavin we had in common, I was sold. Subscribed. Done 😁👍
I love your energy, and I love your vibe. (You're hilarious too: there are times where you say something, and you put your foot in your mouth and laugh it off, that totally reminds me of me ROFL 🤣🤣🤣).
I'm excited to see what all you got! (Sidenote: I watched one of your bookhaul videos and loved it the one where you bought Fullmetal manga. I laughed, and my jaw dropped. I just bought the whole set a couple months ago too!!! I'm reentering my manga love story!)
...y'all make me wish I had enough time and courage to do UA-cam content. I'm scared lol
Amazing!!!! Thank you for all the effort you put into these videos ❤ 11 billion stars.
I FELT THE PREFECTIONISM AND DEDICATION THROUGH THE VIDEO SOSOSO PROUD OF YOU BABYGIIIRL 🏆
AW! omg thank you so much! Perfectionism is a nice way to put it, ha. But, yes, it definitely was dedication but I'm so proud of it. So it was all worth it in the end.
Thanks for all the work you put into this video, Katie, it was very well done. Fun to watch. I look forward to hearing your opinions of these books.
Thank you for including me in this video!! We all appreciate your hard work and this turned out amazing 💕
Aw, thank you, Ty! I loved your clips. So happy to have found your video in time to include it in this project. It would have suffered without it for sure.
Katie!!!! Thank you for all of your hard work! here I am with my paper and pen ready to take notes on all the books I need to read…. And turns out I already read all but Project Hail Mary - I guess it’s going on the list!
I loved last year’s video and I loved this one as well! I hope you make these every year forever. Such a wonderful celebration of our community ❤️ Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into this. I giggled and smiled through the whole thing. Watching other booktubers be so enthusiastic about their favorite books was truly so infectious and it makes me happy and proud to be a reader and making videos in this community. Thank You! We appreciate you!
🏆🏆🏆
aw, I appreciate this comment so much. Not only did you watch and love last year's video. But you came back for round two. I completely agree about how infectious the joy of watching someone rave about a book is.
These are my favorite videos of the year
Lets give Katie Her Flowers because GIRL SLAYED!!!!!!! Wow what a incredible endeavor to take on and you killed that!
AW! Thank you so much! I loved your clips so much. I had to make you the intro for Fourth Wing cause I just think you're so freaking cute. So energetic and bubbly and passionate about the books. Loved it. Thanks for being a part of this community!
@@KatieColson that is quite literally the sweetest thing anyone has ever said about me so thank you so much! Your kind words mean the world! Thank you for apart of this community and lifting up so many voices! You are an inspiration!

"I might have forgotten how to read" as an outro for the best books of 2023 video literally killed me 🤣

This video is absolutely everything and JUST what we needed the beginning of 2024
I started watching you last year because of your 2022 favourites video ❤ so so glad you decided to do it again, thank you so much for all the effort you put in ❤️
Aw, thank you for so many reasons. 1. For coming back to see this video even though it was late. 2. Recognizing the work that it took. 3. Being subscribed for a whole year just based on last years video. I appreciate the wait you had to put in to get this one. I'm sure you were wondering if it would get posted at all, ha
I never doubted for a second that you'd put it up ✌🏻 it's obviously something you're extremely proud of! It's also so heart warming that others wanted to help you do it ❤️ Absolutely worth the wait 💅🏻
Yes yes yes yes yes!!!! Cant wait!!! I am looking forward to this video so much!!! Thank you Katie 💜💜💜
