@@catarinasousa1905 I mean to be fair my attention span has gone to shit recently, but hey, working towards reading more is a good goal! We can do it!!
me: hearing kat say bewildered als me: immediatley rewatching both of her fifty shades of grey reviews for the literally 10th time cause they are just so freaking iconic
Curious enough,is it good?like I'm hoping to read because,I feel like as a person that's like literally just feel like home I guess to me,like reading the book based on the summary I read about. so,if you have Time please,ring me up anytime!
You: being all amazed by the fact you read more translated work lately Me, a french person who's been reading practically only translated work since forever: cute, but can't relate
i like the sound of that. however, that would mean combing through all of my old vids and do i need that hit to my self esteem mAYBE NOT (but also i'll probs just do it anyway because why the heck not lololol)
You are my favorite person to watch about books! I got to a point where I had no idea what to read and since I have started watching your channel, I have read soooo many great books and have a huge tbr list!
I was half looking for a cardigan, half needing coffee when UA-cam alerted me to this upload. I am now col, under-caffeinated and Not. Moving. Til I know all about these 26 books 🤷🏼♀️ I don't make the rules.
I started watching Sharp Objects, was loving it, then bought the book, then stopped watching because I wanted to read it first, then life happened. In conclusion, I have neither finished the show or the book.
I also read "Little Fires Everywhere" this month after watching the video you vlog it in and I LOVED it. I loved the themes and morals it tackled. I never read anything that tackled adoption in the way it did. Very intriguing read.
when ure no longer anxious about how big ur tbr is since there's loads of time to read now but ure anxious abt everything else going on in the world (,:
I feel like I never hear about I’m Thinking Of Ending Things and it’s so incredible. Like it made me so uncomfortable but in the best way. It’s only 200 pages and I literally had to put it down a couple times bc my anxiety was HIGH
As someone who adores Paper Girls, it actually doesn't change as you keep reading! It's a very fast-paced story & more of an adventure plot without very much quiet time to learn about any of the characters. It's gorgeous and interesting, but not super deep.
Whenever I'm expecting terrible reading slump the only thing I have to do to get myself back on the track is to watch one of your videos. You talk so passionately about them that makes me want to dive right back into my books...so thanks😊
I read I'm Thinking Of Ending Things in December and it really broke my mind. I totally see why some people hated it, but I LOVED it. I wasn't sure what to think at the beginning, but the vague synopsis was very accurate in my case. I was on edge and anxious, and I had no clue why. Hearing you talk about it has reminded me about that experience. I really hope I can find another book with similar vibes because I need it.
we love a chaotic intro!! Little Fires Everywhere sounds extremely interesting - I'm *always* on the lookout for more (actually) good Literary Fiction so I'll definitely be checking out both of Celeste Ng's books!
just finished reading radio silence bc of u and can I just say thank you for your service to humanity for speaking about that book it was everything I never knew I needed
26?! I'm sorry... 26?! Seriously impressive although I relate on actually wanting to read less. I have been intrigued about I Wish You All The Best so it was great to hear a bit more about it
Am I in a zoom lecture right now? Yes. Is watching this while I put myself on mute more important than listening to my class derailing to talk about the pandemic? Also YES.
I just wanna say thank u for your videos. I am working as a suicide hotline counselor/211 operator and work has been incredibly busy and stressful since the whole pandemic thing. Your videos provide a good escape and some solid book recs, which I appreciate. Also I rlly need to read I'm Thinking Of Ending Things ASAP
ok I JUST found I’m Thinking of Ending Things and I was EQUALLY as shook and haven’t stopped thinking of it either and I’m so glad I’ve found your channel because I love all your recommendations (especially the thriller/horror)!!
I read I'm thinking of ending things on your recommendation and flew through it in one sitting and I lowkey guessed the twist but I was like "no... no I can't be right..." and I WAS STILL THROWN BY THE END. Truly a one-of-a-kind book.
I'm 2 books away from finishing my Goodreads challenge (50 books) and it's still the first half of April. I've failed to reach that goal the entire year last year lol. Quarantine things.
you made feel both scared and excited to read I'm Thinking of Ending Things, which I guess only speaks to good it probably is and how I should definitely read it..!
I felt the same about paper girls in the beginning. The art is absolutely stunning but the story is just kind of...okay. HOWEVER, because I have nothing else to do, I kept reading the series, and it actually develops in a really interesting way - it does something really interesting with time travel that, based on the first novel, I didn't see coming at all.
I'm SO happy you liked I'm thinking of ending things! It's my fav thriller and everyone I've ever talked to hates it. I'll definitely have to check out the audiobook.
I'm Thinking of Ending Things is a psychological, philosophical horror. It is really haunting. I finished it at 3 am, and I was bothered, like so bothered.
The Netflix adaptation is being handled by the ultimate mindfuck director, Charlie Kaufman. The man understands and portrays the human condition in such a unique way that it's legitimately breathtaking.
hiiiii!!!! i just found your channel as this whole quarantine thing has fueled my desire to dedicate more time to reading and was looking for good book recs and 1 - your personality is hilarious and authentic and i truly wish i could be friends with you because omfg you're just great 2 - buying books can get pretty expensive. i tried the kindle thing but it doesn't satisfy the same way as hard copies. do you have a hookup for getting books, doesn't look like you get the from a library, or do you truly spend the retail price on all of your books? 3 - do you keep all of your books or have a way you donate/re-sell them? i have a huge collection of books i'll honestly never re-read and i don't know a purposeful way to upcycle them.
Picked up sharp objects after you raved about it. Finished it in two days, which I haven't done in YEARS. Felt like I was a kid again, constantly reading and being swept away by a story
I read "Sharp objects" because of your video reading it and now I love it. Five stars in Goodreads. It was my first thriller ever and I couldn't stop reading. Thank you so much
I finished radio silence AND I LOVE IT A FAV can't thank you enough! and now i'm reading the raven boys also LOVING IT. i will read every book you consider a favorite from now on!
It makes me so sad that I don’t like Gillian Flynn 😭. I read Sharp Objects last year and rated it 1.5 stars. I DNFed Gone Girl. I just want to be on the train too, but sadly this is one that departs without me. I’m glad you liked it though ☺️
Kendra ye I read sharp objects and it just felt like not much was happening in the middle and I kinda got bored. I watched the show and I honestly liked it better. Oop
I need you to know that it is such a joy to look for your skeletons in the background of your videos and when I found this one I almost lost it. thank you
u know u haven't had human contact in so long when u get uncomfortable in the beginning of the video due to how close kat is to the camera lol
Beatriz Soares Lmao 🤣
Kat is breaking the rules of social distancing!
Yep. I'll own up to being just a li'l bit weirded out -- lol!
U have zero idea, that was one of the most comfortable moments of my life.
U know you’re starved of affection when it doesn’t bother you
kat: read 26 books in march.
me: read 26 fanfics in march.
well at least I read.
to all the books i loved before i found ao3, i'm so sorry
reading is reading!
So relatable ❗👍
omg we've all been there
i am here reading wattpad for 24 hours
the first few seconds feel like a zoom meeting I didn’t prepare for
LMAO
paperbackdreams bru H thanks for responding I’m currently checking out I’m thinking of ending things
i hope u like it!!!

paperbackdreams what the FUCK was that ending
“is it better? i can’t tell.” - Kat, a beautiful human being, sounding like my AP English teacher on my Zoom Class
"would like to read less in the future"...who would've thought
uncharted territories indeed
is she even a booktuber anymore!?
It's something I've had before, when I've sat there and thought "I should stop reading so much junk and try to read something harder"
Matthew Stephenson literally me after spending the whole night reading fanfiction
me: trying to read 24 books in a year
kat: 26 books in one month.
i’m done i give up
YOU'RE DOING GREAT OK
@@paperbackdreams thank you! You are so sweet and your videos really makes me want to read more!
ahaha, me too girl, me too. i literally have my goal set on 26 this year and kat just causally wings that in a month. maan i have a long way to go!
sameee
Lol same!!The only reason I have read 30 books in 4 months is because of Manga or graphic novels
When she said 'bewildering' I had war flashbacks.
u and me both bb
Hey, at least she didn’t murmur it?
Enfys Best murmur is our trigger ☝️
i miss the pre tik tok age where i’d read that many books and my attention span was longer than 20 mins

"bEWiLdeRiNg" I just can't read that word the same way again, gurl.
every time i say it i have flashbacks lmao
paperbackdreams honestly every time I read it, Idc what author it is it gives me war flashbacks. Whyyyy Kat whyyy?
me: hearing kat say bewildered
als me: immediatley rewatching both of her fifty shades of grey reviews for the literally 10th time cause they are just so freaking iconic
Where can I find that video? I wanna know her reviews on them too.
I’m Kat and that was chaotic ... isn’t that your whole aesthetic? And we love you for it
ok TRUE lol call me out
That's not only an aesthetic, it's a philosophy... Some might even argue it is a school if thought.
Celeste Ng got her MFA at Michigan and I saw her give a reading from Everything I Never Told You. I literally have never cried harder in public.
ohhhh my god i would have sobbed so hard too i probs would have ejected a lung
Curious enough,is it good?like I'm hoping to read because,I feel like as a person that's like literally just feel like home I guess to me,like reading the book based on the summary I read about. so,if you have Time please,ring me up anytime!
“Hopefully it never happens again, I’d actually like to read less in the future” lol the exact opposite problem of mine
let's switch on three. one..two...

The Netflix adaptation is being handled by the ultimate mindfuck director, Charlie Kaufman. The man understands and portrays the human condition in such a unique way that it's legitimately breathtaking.
we don't have the same taste on books (if that makes sense) but im gonna keep watching you because the way you talk bout them IT'S AMAZING

1 - your personality is hilarious and authentic and i truly wish i could be friends with you because omfg you're just great
2 - buying books can get pretty expensive. i tried the kindle thing but it doesn't satisfy the same way as hard copies. do you have a hookup for getting books, doesn't look like you get the from a library, or do you truly spend the retail price on all of your books?
3 - do you keep all of your books or have a way you donate/re-sell them? i have a huge collection of books i'll honestly never re-read and i don't know a purposeful way to upcycle them.
