As a fellow asexual, I appreciate the conversations in this video and I’m also so glad you found a romance that works for you 🥹🫶🏻
omg thank YOU, Gabby! I appreciate that so much. I knew you would get it on that level.
Oh, Katie. You articulated so perfectly in this video. Also, I love the spice colored dress. I thought errand reading was an old person trait I had, so I love to hear that it's just a thing for weird bookish people of all ages.
I've been reading these on kindle unlimited. They are all on there except book 5❤
I would have been surprised if you didn’t like this honestly lol. It’s like reality tv in a book. I’m amazed I haven’t read the other books yet. I read this one last summer in like 1 day. Couldn’t put it down.
Ok, I have to read this book now 😂❤
As a Demisexual male, one of my favorite things about a romance is the banter and connectionn that develops between the two leads.
As a fellow aroace I appreciate this discussion. I’ve always been very “anti-romance”. Lately, I’ve come to realise tho that it’s not romance as a genre that I dislike, but certain tropes and storylines, like insta-love and the lack of connection between the characters. A lot of the time there’s no depth to the relationship. Same thing with movies and tv-shows, where a character has a deeper connection with someone who’s “just a friend” than their romantic partner, but somehow romantic relationships should be most desirable relationship. Also, the dynamics are always sooo heteronormative, can’t stand it 😭
I think I have a similar problem I think I might be aro and romance always bores me or just makes me uncomfortable but I’ve read good romance before that didn’t make me feel that ways it’s just that most romantic books are not good
omg if y'all somehow did not see Katie's video on booktuber's favorite books of 2023 seriously what are you doing it is a freakin' masterpiece! editing is S Tier/God Tier. Never seen anything like it! ✨🏆✨
Those new covers are definitely not it 🫣🫣🫣
This sounds like ADHD tunnel vision, I'll bring my barbie-sized shovel to the reunion.
👑For me as an asexual person what appeals to me about romance is the emotional connection shared by two people whether it’s toxic or not.
Honestly, I had zero interest in reading these books. But not even halfway through this video & I’ve clicked the checkout button.
What a time to be alive.
as a fellow asexual who is fairly sex repulsed, this was such an good watch. I have this book on my shelves, albeit in a much uglier cover 😭, but now i really want to pick it up and give it a go. It sounds so worth it.
The way my face slowly grew into a smile looking at your annotations lol all I can think is "what a beautiful and heartfelt gift that could be for someone " the very definition of thoughtful
Why are we, as a society, still naming people BJ
Me sitting here and understanding everything you say and simultaneously searching and buying the book, because THATS what gets me in the books that I read. The connection, the bond. I am Ace as well and allways sream my house down when I read about people beeing so connected, in relationships and friendships and what not. I get it!
Literal violence if you have not watched Katie's pièce de résistance. Much like the literal violence Dutton did with that cover redesign.
I’m excited for you to get into Daisy Haites! I think it’s a little bit of a rough transition because you’re following different characters (tbh I spent the first 50 pages missing BJ & Magnolia) but once I got into it, I ended up loving Daisy even more than Magnolia. The sibling relationship between Daisy and Julian is unmatched!!!
I felt seen when I saw your comment about how you initially missed BJ and Magnolia because that was me!
The way I've never had any intention of reading this until you made this hyperfixation video
I'm scared tbh. People love or despise these. You'll probably hate it. But what IF!?!?!?!
… as a heterosexual, I STILL hate romance books for being so sexual 😂 But it’s fun to see Katie enter her romance era.
Magnolia Parks was described to me as Gossip Girl meets Taylor Swift. I love this universe. First go around, I did prefer the Daisy books, but I don’t know if that’d still be true upon reread. I’m reading Into the Dark right now and never have I related to Magnolia more.
Taylor swift ?
my partner and entire family thinks it is hilarious when i cover my book with wrapping paper...lol. ugly covers and cover changes makes my eye twitch
27:24 holy crap I haven’t finished the video but I have to say what a tragedy that your package came like that, water damage is such a huge problem, and I’ve NEVER seen a package with that big of a hole in it from anywhere!!! That’s crazy.
I cannot believe how much you loved this book but I am living for it!!! This is one of my most fav series ever and have reread the most. I am over here just smiling and giggling over your reactions and thoughts which were so beautifully said. Can’t wait for you to read the rest of the series and hear your thoughts on it so please vlog every single book❤🐝
All I know is I better see a vlog of the rest of this series! I love seeing you fall in love with this book!
Just found your channel and find you so entertaining. I will be getting significantly less reading done now that I have discovered you lol 😂
i neeeeeed your annotated copy!!! and yes I ordered them on blackwells too......the new covers are TRASH
Can we get a vlog for each in this series. I started magnolia parks in February then went on to buy the whole series. And read the first 3 books in February! Like that’s unheard of for me, I’m a slooooow reader but these books are magic!
we've all seen this book EVERYWHERE but nothing convinced me to read it like this did. i am 20 minutes in and already buying it online.
3:16 THIS IS SOOO RELATABLE hahahah 💜💜💜💜
I laughed so hard when I clicked on your timestamp and that moment started playing 😂🤣
You have convinced me to pick up this book because before this video, I had no interest in this book. Now, I'm soooo curious.
I only watched a couple videos of yours so had no idea you were asexual and aroace, but whilst I was watching them, I couldn’t help but feel like we were the same. Then I saw this video, and I felt so happy that you’re just like me! I hardly know anyone who is ace, and you’re really funny and seem to have similar opinions to me so I can already tell you’re going to be one of my new favourite book tubers ❤
The example you gave of “good” writing is astounding. All of that was garbage.
Cut me and I bleed him 💖🫶🏻 🐝 this is the closest to reading it for the first time, watching someone else experience it the first time and love it! So happy to hear you voice how much you love it and why!! Can’t wait to see you read the rest. AHHHHHH this series is top tier 💖💖💖💖💖🐝 the quotes that came from this book will stick with me for life. & a million % the og covers are unmatched and nothing could ever come close.
I didn't know anything about this book a week ago and now you've completely sold it to me 😂 mutually obsessed and toxic relationship is one of my favorite guilty pleasure tropes 😂
Agree the new cover are terrible. I don’t know if I will buy the next book I might just do kindle hahah (even though I haven’t read) guess this is my sign to read lol
I would love to see your take on the rest of the series (at least the Magnolia books)...I loved your thoughts and comments
Feeling vindicated that I was right to send this to you lmaooo glad you liked it !!
I found you via this video - but I haven’t watched it yet, because I plan on reading “Magnolia Parks” this month…but I’m SAVING it and will watch it when I am finished. Glad to have found you! 😎📚👍
If I could like this video more than once!! I would be so thrilled to see you vlog the next books if you’re so inclined 🫶
With a wicked time of the month today, I NEEDED to hear embrace your blob ❤😅
asexual/ aromantic homies for the win!
Happy Pride Month ! I’m not ase but I can appreciate your open representation of your asexual/aromantic experience. Its so valid to love romance and stuff for other people and know its not for you!! 🤑💰
I'm 100% with you about the new covers and they are the main reason I'm vaguely interested in reading these. also, as an ace spec person, you are doing the lords work by reading these before I do
I feel like I’ve been waiting a lifetime for this review and stalking your goodreads to get your review! Now I can finally remove from my TBR and get started! I already bought the series as well but have put it off waiting for your update!
Girl and the books only get better 😭
Really? Oh I'm so stoked now! I was going to read something off genre to have a palette cleaner between books in this series but now you have me amped up to read Daisy Haites!
🛍️ I love your videos.. they always make me smile.
Also I don’t annotate cause I don’t know how lol but I would love to get a book that someone else has!!!
I have had this on my physical Tbr for over a year and you have made me officially bump it up to books I need to read asap. Lol. Loved the vlog! 👑🛍️
My dad and stepmom almost named my little brother BJ but then they realized and named him CJ instead and just used his last name as the first initial😂
We love a never ending bit though
I finally read this and i feel like i went to battle.
honestly the only one on the internet who should be reviewing dark romance right here.
🥹 omg wait, stop, I love that. Thank you so much, Ry. You're my favorite find of 2024. Loving your channel and content. Thank you for watching my channel!
likewise :)@@KatieColson
Oh hey! I'm so glad you got the book! Truly hoping we both enjoy!
Yes! thank you again! I really appreciate it and am so pumped to start it
What website did you use to order the books?!
Blackwells
I am stopping this know so that I can go and read it and then let you know what I think about it after watching your video love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤
💎I gave this 3 stars but you’re now making me want to reread!
The fact that i watch most youtube video at 2× and i can only watch yours at 1.5× max, love the energy
You had me at Donna & Harvey 👀👀
you are the first person to make me even remotely interested in reading this 👀 hmm
You really know how to keep us guessing Katie!! 🤣🤣🤣
Loved this vlog, great stuff as always 💵💲💵💲Katie, you are Queen for a reason 👑👑👑
Fine I’ll buy it 🫠
After watching this video I want to read the series so bad now.💎
Are you convincing me to pick up Magnolia Parks???? You are little bit. 😆✨
this made my monday worth it. the bit honestly reminded me of a Scream movie. Here for it. keep doing it.
2:54 omg! I LOVE dark romance so much. I am also ace (demisexual). My husband thinks it’s hilarious and calls them my “sexy books”.
So I am going to subscribe🩷
24:00 Yes, I get what you mean about emotional intimacy and being fully part of someone's life! And how that, coupled with good writing, can make for an interesting and compelling story where "cheating" in a romantic relationship isn't the actual primary problem, but a secondary symptom. You might also like The Thirteen House by Sharon Shinn, the only book I've ever read where infidelity was a main theme and I was satisfied - and devasted - by the best possible conclusion. I'm aroace, but sympathized with everyone involved. It's been a few years since I've read it, but the protagonist and the LI share passion for the same causes and adventures, so I think it fits with what you said: the two characters have to be the same (equitable in power and action).
If you like the Found Family trope, it's strong in the Twelve Houses series, and gets stronger with every book (4 core books, plus one about a side character learning to live life again after the first four books): Mystic and Rider, The Thirteenth House, Dark Moon Defender (TW/CN for religious trauma), Reader and Raelynx, and Fortune and Fate.
I'm literally reading this right now! 😂😂
👑Okay, I'll pick this series up.
Great vlog. 🍄🌷🌻📚☕🌼

This was such a joy to watch! I'm adding it to my TBR now!

Also, I enjoyed Seven Year Slip!

I bought Chlorine because you loved it and now I bought Magnolia Parks because you loved it😌
It’s so interesting to hear how a lesbian feels about romance bc as a lesbian I cannot read straight romance, I have only enjoyed lesbian romance that is butchfemme/mascfemme. Most fem4fem romances don’t do it for me either
27:40 Watching you lay out all your tools is very satisfying. IDK if you've cured my depression, but I just discovered your channel today, and you've definitely made my weekend happier. 💜💚👍
Do you have any book recommendations with asexual representation? I read loveless and loooved it. + I’m trying to figuring out if I’m also asexual ☺️
I’m in LOVE 😍😍😍 I felt the same way! I clicked that sub button so hard!!! I had the same issue with having the first 2 copies in the og US covers, ordered the next 2 and got the tall covers 😮 I ordered the latest from Blackwells. I just can’t bring myself to get the new covers! I think you’ll love Daisy Haites! I’m leaving a 🐝 emoji for our boy BJ 🤩🤩🤩
