I'm reading A Little Life in steps, after seeing your rec and watching the video where you (Kat) read it. Step one was to get the book physically into my house. So I've done that part. It's like vacuuming. Step one, get the vacuum out and leave it in the living room for a day or so. Now I'm just glancing at it on the shelf every once in a while. It's a process.

kat tysm for recommending radio silence so much i picked it up at the library this morning and devoured it in one sitting and NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU CAN NEVER TALK ABOUT IT CALMLY AHHH ITS SO GOOD
I watch A LOT of UA-cam and I have seen many many UA-camrs advertise Skillshare and other platforms, but Kat in the bathtub is my absolute favorite sponsor segment video ever
This might be my fav video of all time. You guys are just so adorable and smart and beautiful and you recommended so many amazing books like wow. Congrats to your parents and to you for being so awesome
One of the most important aspects of Shrill is that she is as a plus woman! As a fellow plus size woman, this was the reason I read the book. It was really inspiring. ❤️
This IS exactly what I need. Been on reading slump for a while and the need to get out of it is pretty intense. This video is pretty much a door for me to consider what my next read gonna be.
The absolute chaos energy you exude in that clip in the beginning very much reminds me of my brother and I when we stay up to late and giggle like idiots because we're so loopy and sleep deprived. Good times.
okay I am literally so happy you talked about the year of rest and relaxation! I think about this book all the time literally and just what it says about mental health.
i am so blessed to have your content. you and your sister make such vibrant energy. I wish my family and I were close like this. You two vibe with eachother so much.
I was literally just breaking my head about finding something to read!!! This video came down like a answer to my call for hope from the heavens. Also... what are you girls high on! Let me in on the secret! P.S STOP RECOMMENDING RADIO SILENCE!! ALL YOUR SUBSCRIBERS HAVE READ AND LOVED IT🤣
Okay so I paused the vid and left for a few and then came back, forgot that laur was lying down, started the vid, thought it was only Kat, looked up and got scared shitless when laur popped up out of no where

I love when you have co-hosts. It makes me so happy that you have such a good relationship with your family and that they READ. The DREAM

This won’t be a recommendation video by our favorites Kats if they didn’t mention radio silence and a little life.
CORRECT
That first minute is PEAK sibling dynamics omg 😂
I'm reading A Little Life in steps, after seeing your rec and watching the video where you (Kat) read it. Step one was to get the book physically into my house. So I've done that part. It's like vacuuming. Step one, get the vacuum out and leave it in the living room for a day or so. Now I'm just glancing at it on the shelf every once in a while. It's a process.
i am very comfortable with the energy we have created in the studio today 😌
U AND ME BOTH
these are the family dynamics I want in my own life
Okay I think Kats sister is my favorite person, she’s so pretentious and beautiful and I’m just soooo here for her
relatableeee
i don’t think you’re using that word the way you think you are.
The foreign community is quaking: Why are precious and pretentious so similiar although tHey aRe kInDA nOT?

YOU ANGEL
When Kat read the Radio Silence question I almost vaulted across my bed to get my copy too
YOU KNOW WHAT'S UP I AM PROUD
Last time I was this early Kat hadn't even read Radio Silence
My sister literally doesn't read, I want to be part of this chaos
ah, my yearly serotonin dose has arrived!!
not me binge watching kat’s videos because i can’t sleep
0:35 I'm living for this chaos duo
I can't stress enough how much I love the energy of videos with you and Laur.
The chaotic but loving energy is just *chef's kiss*
Lots of great recommendations and even more laughs. The vibes are truly exquisite.
I wish laur had her sister in more videos she seems cool
And so articulate!
The Paperback Sisters: a
Me: man look at this genes tho
The genes: yeah we know
Not only sisters their dad has got some good genes too
whoop whoop my favorite zesty duo is back!!
AWWW, ZESTY :)
Them: *holds up a little life*
Me: *flashback to intense sobbing*
the full DIVE for radio silence SENDS
"WAIT- I DONT HAVE AN OUTRO- KAY BYE..."
I love videos with og Kat! Your relationship with your sister is the most wholesome thing 💕
Paperbackdreams drinking game: take a shot for every mention/appearance of Radio Silence
I practically screenshoted every single book! Thanks for the recommendations :)
hope u find a new fave!
4:25 that's one too many organically in a sentence Kat
(Also, not surprised 😂)
4:09 Kat almost killing herself to get Radio Silence
Me: doing the same for Perks of Being A Wallflower
kat tysm for recommending radio silence so much i picked it up at the library this morning and devoured it in one sitting and NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU CAN NEVER TALK ABOUT IT CALMLY AHHH ITS SO GOOD
I love these videos because they are basically Kat and Lauren’s favorite books at the time :)
I watch A LOT of UA-cam and I have seen many many UA-camrs advertise Skillshare and other platforms, but Kat in the bathtub is my absolute favorite sponsor segment video ever
this video is such a happy pill thank u for brushing my sadness away this is exactly what i need hehe 💙
anytime :)
Kat is truly such a wonderful, relatable, sweet human who honestly just radiates sunshine. By far one of my FAV booktubers to binge watch 💖💖
this literally made me cry I wish I was lying,,,tysm I appreciate u
paperbackdreams you’re so welcome sweet friend!!
whatever those two are on ...I’m need some. Hook a girl up with that energy
*MY FAVORITE DUO I MISSED YALL TOGETHER SO MUCH*
Saw “tasty” in the title and clicked immediately 👁👄👁
im reading a little life because of u guys 👁👄👁 im on page 70 wish me luck
Let me just say, it'll absolutely destroy you and not in the good way. I kinda hate it but the writing style is beautiful!
Enjoy, I guess?
GODSPEED
It destroyed me. Good luck you need it 😭
YAS DO IT!!!!!!!
This might be my fav video of all time. You guys are just so adorable and smart and beautiful and you recommended so many amazing books like wow. Congrats to your parents and to you for being so awesome
"Its about a woman who wants to take a year off and hibernate" ....why is that literally me
One of the most important aspects of Shrill is that she is as a plus woman! As a fellow plus size woman, this was the reason I read the book. It was really inspiring. ❤️
*Crying as I add all of these to my already 300 book long want to read list*
the energy in this video is golden.
I’m about to start Radio Silence and after that A Little Life because this channel recommended it so much... wish me luuuck
This IS exactly what I need. Been on reading slump for a while and the need to get out of it is pretty intense. This video is pretty much a door for me to consider what my next read gonna be.
ahh hope you find a good one!!
GIRRRRL, your hairrr at 1:23 ... i mean.... GORGEOUS 😍
The bond between Laur and Kat is everything sisters needddddd. These beautiful people are everything, and bring people joy. And great books.
oh my gosh the truest queen od all OG KAT
HERE YE HERE YE
the two of you slowly lifting “a little life” in absolute silence like it’s simba in the lion king..... yeah
Every time Lauren recommends a book I love it so I know this'll be great!!
i knew she was gonna take out radio silence lmaoo
She said “You look like Nearly Headless Nick.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I already knew this was going to be chaotic af 😂
0:54
should be the new intro from now on.
That dive across the bed to grab Radio Silence killed me 😂🤣
“writing teet sucked dry” well those are some words
8:45 omg We Are The Ants would be perfect for that q!!
The absolute chaos energy you exude in that clip in the beginning very much reminds me of my brother and I when we stay up to late and giggle like idiots because we're so loopy and sleep deprived. Good times.
I think everyone needs Kat as a best friend
I love how everyone just adores Kat's family.
we all know they're better than I am lololol
Kat “rushing” to get radio silence is dark academia that makes me feel better abt life. Edit: thx kat
i love lauren so much, we have sooooo many books in common so anything she recommends I read it bc i'll probably like it
we love sisters time
seeing you two together is really making me miss my sister even more :((
Okay okay I’ll stop procrastinating and put Radio Silence in my Amazon Cart already! 😆💕
HALLELUJAH
When I heard which "prior version" of Kat is gonna be talking about skillshare... yeah, I noped out of it pretty quick lol
WRITING TEAT
"I see you! Absolute wench!" I have adopted this phase to use among my siblings!
okay I am literally so happy you talked about the year of rest and relaxation! I think about this book all the time literally and just what it says about mental health.
honestly these two just make me wish that I could get ONE person in my family to read for pleasure 🥺
Laur : Thick with two Cs
Me: *processing* ...wait, what did she just say?
Me: *tubelight clicking* OH
😂
i am so blessed to have your content. you and your sister make such vibrant energy. I wish my family and I were close like this. You two vibe with eachother so much.
when i saw a book that makes me forget the world im living in i screamed red white and royal blue
“We’re going to be professional” *proceeds to sing*
This is exactly what I needed after studying for hours for my goddamn exam.
Love that you recommend So Sad Today, a fave!
Every paperbackdreams episode is just a countdown to me getting Thomas Dolby's Radio Silence stuck in my head, again.
I have no siblings and I've never really wanted siblings to be honest, but seeing you guys kinda makes me wish I had siblings...
YES ITS TIME. LETS GOOO Im more hyped than the iPhone 12 now.
this is what we all needed right now❤️
I was literally just breaking my head about finding something to read!!!
This video came down like a answer to my call for hope from the heavens.
Also... what are you girls high on! Let me in on the secret!
P.S STOP RECOMMENDING RADIO SILENCE!! ALL YOUR SUBSCRIBERS HAVE READ AND LOVED IT🤣
I WILL NEVER STOP RECOMMENDING IT!! THERE ARE STILL PPL OUT THERE RESISTING THE MAGIC
You guys read so much my small brain can’t comprehend
“Really relatable shit” hahaha 👌🏼😄
Okay so I paused the vid and left for a few and then came back, forgot that laur was lying down, started the vid, thought it was only Kat, looked up and got scared shitless when laur popped up out of no where
