Why would anyone be offended by a wishlist? Like as much as I would love to get sent free books, seeing you opening your gifts and your face light up makes me really happy on your behalf! Like no one is forcing you to send someone books, it's ridiculous that people were offended, and it's not fair on your behalf that you had to take the wishlist down.
I honestly don't see the problem with the wishlists. This whole situation was because of assumptions. Also, I think some people are using the word "uncomfortable" in place of the word "jealous" and no, they're not synonymous. Wishlists are an awesome idea and if you don't want to send a book, then don't.
It's not fair that people can't send you books anymore. if people are uncomfortable with it, they don't have to send you books. I, for one, was planning on getting all my favorite booktubers books for their birthdays. I think that there are more people that enjoy th unboxing hauls and sending the books than there are that are uncomfortable with the whole ordeal. I really hope that you put the wish list back up, because i love looking at wish lists for book ideas and also for gift giving.
***** I know, I understand what you are talking about! I was speaking on your side, please reread my comment. I was talking about the people who felt uncomfortable about the amazon wish list, it is just a small link on the bottom of the description box, it's kinda weird and dumb for THEM(the people who are uncomfortable) to get so worked up and uncomfortable over that.
***** Well, don't feel stupid...it's okay! You're not stupid. Sophie, it's not her choice to take off the wishlist, she felt the need to because people were complaining about it.
You look absolutely gorgeous with your hair up! And the Amazon wishlist issue, did Kat magically come through the screen and twist people's arm to buy her books? No. So knock it off. AMAZING book haul Kat! :)
Meh. I wholly recommend you putting your wishlist back up. The people who bought you books were doing so out of a good place, and not an obligated place. Wishlists are an indication of what books you WANT to read, for family and friends who don't have the luxury of knowing what you have already read. If they have an issue with the concept of a wishlist, that is THEIR issue, not yours my darlin'. Oh...and good luck on the move!
You should never have felt obligated to take down your wishlist. If people felt uncomfortable about it being there, they should 've just ignored it instead of pressured you into taking it down. Like you said, you never pressured people into buying you things.
Is it just me or does anyone else think that those who feel "uncomfortable" because of someone posting their amazon wishlist, are booktubers who are not popular enough to get any books? Or just seems to me like this is about jealousy in general. I just really don't get it, why it is such a big issue.. I know jealousy sounds really harsh, but that is really the general vibe I get, i'm not trying to be offensive. No booktubers have ever asked for books, they just started posting those wishlists because their subscribers started asking them for it.
I agree. I as a subscriber have never felt obliged to buy anyone books, but I think It's a nice feature for those who want to. It's not an obligation, besides It's usually all the way at the bottom of the description box, It's not like they tell you to buy them something. People have made the "issue" a lot bigger then it needed to be.
Work that updo! Ooh I like the covers of those harry potter books! I've seen the old cheap ones, but the new ones look PRETTY. MARA DYER. I need to read the first one.
Fantastic book haul. I can't understand why people got so offended by you having a wishlist-it's by viewers' request & I've never felt any obligation was imposed. I get that coffee-craziness too if I don't ration myself to a cup in the morning. Oh to the joys of too much caffeine!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the only people who seem to have a problem with wish lists are other booktubers who don't get sent gifts.. No one feels obligated to buy anyone anything, they're just gifts and if someone wants to buy them, you can't blame the wish list for that! I don't make videos, I just watch them, so I come from a different angle I guess.. Anyway, I loved this video, it made me laugh!
I don't make videos as well and I didn't like the wishlists...It made me feel like I am only a good subscriber, if I can afford a book for a booktuber. Trust me, it can make people feel uncomfortable.
BookPancakes But isn't that your own perception of yourself? The booktuber's can't be reliable for everything. No matter what you do or say, someone can always end up feeling uncomfortable.
GreyPersona Yeah, I really get your point and it is true that it depends on the individual viewer. But if so many booktubers noticed that some subscribers don't like the wish list system, there must be a lot of them and I personally think they'd rather take down their wishlist than lose subscribers. And it's not that I have something against the wishlists themselves. It's a great way of sharing which books one like to read, but I just don't like the fact that you are able to send books through it. If a subscriber really wants to send a special book to a booktuber, it is still possible to message them and ask for their address. If they than don't want to give it out, that is perfectly understandable as well, but 'their problem'... Also, I just don't really see, why a booktuber deserves a package of 8 books because in the end they are nothing better or worse than their viewers. Well, I guess this is a controversial topic and people probably won't change their opinion about it. I just wanted to say that the opponents of wish lists aren't only 'jealous' other booktubers
You should make a video with Christine teaching her how to hold large stacks of books. You have mad skills plus it'd be super funny haha! Yay for The Bitter Kingdom! I recommend The Girl of Fire and Thorns for August 's Booksplosion read because not enough people know of this awesome trilogy! Please? Haha
omg it made people uncomfortable that you had a wish list????? jealousy... I swear some people will find the stupidest things to complain about. I would have left it, us that really like you and enjoy your videos are happy you get books from viewers.. hey that means more hauls :)
Why would people feel uncomfortable? People make wishlists all the time, from the time when we proudly posted our Christmas wishlist on the kitchen fridge and shared that with friends on the playground. It just so happens your medium is a video. And we all know you love books so...weird. Haha. You're still awesome!
I don't understand why people are offended by a wish list ... she said something about a wish list I just figured its what she wanted too buy in the future. Anyway
+Meghan Curley That is what a Wish List actually means, it's just there is an extra function on Amazon that allows you to purchase one or many of those wish list books for that specific person. I mean, it is on Amazon, a online shopping site...so...it's kinda a given that they would include that function, it doesn't mean anyone that see the wish list is obligated to buy the book for the person.
Holy moly books!! You can actually still have your wish list to showcase the books you want to buy with an amazon wish list and make it so that way people can't buy you things. You just can't have a shipping address.
....That makes no sense, I have like ten different Amazon wishlists that I have put together for MYSELF. I don't have it on private, but for friends and family on holidays and birthdays it is a great tool. I don't know why a fan of your videos would feel obligated to send you a book and or feel bad about not being able to.
I don't even share your taste in books but I love watching how excited you get about reading... makes me want to go find a cozy cottage with a fireplace and just read forever. Also, I wouldn't worry about people feeling uncomfortable about the wishlist thing. I didn't know you had a wishlist but it's a great idea. Seems like it makes people happy to send you books!
Thank You Katytastic For Being My Favorite BookTuber! I Look Forward To Your Videos Every Week, Whether They Be A Haul, Book Recommendations, Or Simply A Bookshelf Tour! Super Inspirational For The Not So Readers Out There Like Myself. Much Love From Arizona!
A Discovery of Witches is amazing! And the third and final book in the trilogy comes out this month :) Hope you enjoy it it's definitely one of my favorites!
I love your videos Kat, they make me laugh. And as much as I love them, I have never purchased her a book. For those that felt uncomfortable or seem like they are only a "good" subscriber if they buy Kat books are really misinterpreting the whole concept. I dont think any of those people who bought her books feel obligated. These are gifts, plain and simple.
Totally agree with what most of the other commenting are saying about the wish list. I had absolutely no problem with it and I really don't think it's a big deal at all. It's practically the same as having a P.O. box, except the gifts are actually relevant to the channel. Like others have mentioned, it's seems to me that it's not us, the viewers, who have a problem with the wish list, but other lesser known booktubers.
I'm so sorry people made you feel bad about having a wishlist, so that you had to take it down =( Like many people have said in the comments, I never felt obligated to send anything and don't see what the big deal was.
It's ur wish list. For ur self. No one has to buy anything if they don't want. People need to realize that. She isn't asking for you guys to buy anything. Kat ur amazing. Keep doing what I want.
The art in the Shadowhunter Codex is so gorgeous, I couldn't believe it when I first opened the book. Also to see all that information combined in one book, made me appreciate Cassandra Clare's world building even more. :)
Congrats on all of the awesome books, Kat! I never felt "uncomfortable" with you posting your wishlist, and I think that it is a good idea for your viewers who want to send you a book to have a list of titles that you still want because you already have so many books! I think the problem might be jealousy? Anyway, I'm sorry that you felt like you had to take it down.
Hello Kat, This is the first video that have gotten me obssesed with reading and watching and exploring the booktube world!!! I AM SO HAPPY AND THANKFUL THAT I HAVE STUMBLED UPON THIS VIDEO...WITHOUT KAT , LIFE WOULD BE BORING lol😂
I love unboxings!! Especially when the person unboxing the items is excited haha. Also I really don't get the whole being uncomfortable with the wishlist thing because why do people care so much about what others do? If it makes them happy and it isn't hurting anyone, then it's their decision. I also find it strange that people don't feel like good subscribers if they cannot send the booktubers books....you can be a good subscriber without sending gifts...
I never thought the Amazon Wishlist thing was ever offensive for you or any other booktuber. But each to his own I suppose. GREAT haul though. So many nice books!!!!!
I think it's pathetic when people hand down shame.. you don't deserve it... I'm a huge fan of your videos and find no offense at all at a wish list.. it's something you " wish" for for petes sake... There are thousands of other youtubers that ASK for things... I've NEVER seen that in your videos... I'm all in favor of you putting your wish list back up!!! People have the right to send you stuff if they want.. that's part of human nature is sharing .. I have plenty of friends that LOVE to gift books in general to anyone they know.. a real book lover receiver is few and far in between!
Howl's Moving Castle, and all of Diana Wynne Jones's books, were a big part of my childhood. I would defiantly recommend reading the Chrestomanci (if I remember how to spell that correctly) series as well. It's fantastic as you don't need to read them in any particular order and you don't even have to read all of them, even though I highly suggest you do.
I personally never felt obligated to buy any UA-camr anything. If I did buy anything it is because I wanted to. Its sad that you have to do away with your wishlist because other people were feeling insecure. Either way, I appreciate you and your vids. The discovery of Witches is really good. The author seems to get a little crazy with the wine talk but other then that its a good story. Book #2 is much better and book #3 is coming out in about a week or two. WhooHoo!
I think we all know that what those people were feeling was jealous not uncomfortable. I mean I feel jealous that I don't have that many books and people sending me books but you know what I would never expect you to stop posting your wishlist link just because I can't handle myself. Some people... I love browsing wishlists though, they usually help me choose what I'm going to read next.
I can understand why some people feel uncomfortable, but if feel like no book tuber has ever asked for people to buy them things. An amazon wish list is also an awesome way to see what a person rates highly so you can make your decisions with that in mind. It would be cool if you could send people books that aren't on the wish list so you can see their verdict on a boom you've enjoyed though. people sending others books (or anything) is nothing to be jealous over anyways just appreciate that they're are giving people in the world!x
You're the best Kat!!!! Loving all these books. I've got Mara Dyer but am waiting for them all so I can marathon them :) Look at all these gorgeous books you lucky duck
A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES. FINALLY A BOOKTUBER IS TALKING ABOUT IT. It's one of my favourite series(and I love the sequel 100x more), last book's coming out at the end of July! Can't wait for you to read this Kat! Loving your hair like this~
That is crazy if you want to have a wish list on amazon have one anyone that feels otherwise it's their own problem to deal with if they want to buy you something good for them if not ok then it's not your responsibility to take on what everybody feels that watches your videos
BRING BACK YOUR WISH LIST!! i never bought u a book! but its fun to watch you getting books it gives me an idea to get myself books!!! i put them on my wish list and WAIT FOR PAY DAY :)
what great books you got!!! i just finshed the eternity cure and was blown away!!! the series is amazing!!! i read a discovery of witches and really liked all the historical references... and i´m gonna read shadow of night very soon!!! Of Posidion is an amazing summer read!!! really fun... i hope you enjoy all the books!!!
I swear I must be the only person who hated the first Mara Dyer book. I'm indifferent on amazon wishlist but I've got to miss I'm going to miss these surprise unboxings...and oh my gosh. Hopeless! You're going to love it!
I don't see the problem with random people wanting to send you all books… Also I love how excited you are and then when you say the name and author of the book you're all calm and cool haha
Kudos to you for linking to charities in your tumblr post. I always felt icky watching booktubers open piles of books whilst standing in front of hundreds of their own beautiful books. I kept thinking about kids and schools who can't afford books at all! You've done a good thing.
I have read A Discovery of Witches & Shadow of night! Very good! That was two years ago and I still have not read the third book. Unbelievable! Must find that book! Awesome unboxing video!!!
You have a lot of clout in the Book Tube world so I am grateful you are making careful choices with your influence. It's a cool community and we all will be happy to see it taking fun, conscientious and erudite paths as it evolves.
hey I love your videos and you have gotten me to watch other books channels and loving them.Do not let people make you feel guilty for you wish list. You do not make anyone send you books, the people that do I am sure enjoy sending them and watch you talk about them.
hello, I have commented on your channel as Buffyfan before, but this is my brand new, booktube/Creativity channel, basically combining all things I love to do. I love your channel!
Why would anyone be offended by a wishlist? Like as much as I would love to get sent free books, seeing you opening your gifts and your face light up makes me really happy on your behalf! Like no one is forcing you to send someone books, it's ridiculous that people were offended, and it's not fair on your behalf that you had to take the wishlist down.
Yes. I just can't understand. But kind of Kat considering this.
Helene F I agree
Daniel Lourido are you doing anything to help those children who don't have drinkable water? Do you buy material things?
I honestly don't see the problem with the wishlists. This whole situation was because of assumptions. Also, I think some people are using the word "uncomfortable" in place of the word "jealous" and no, they're not synonymous. Wishlists are an awesome idea and if you don't want to send a book, then don't.
Thank you for putting that into words. :) Because I've thought the same thing.
Bettie Turner same here
Brian sooo true
meawww
Brian yesss same

I agree.
It's a little link on the bottom of the description page...it's kinda dumb to get so worked up over that.
***** I know, I understand what you are talking about! I was speaking on your side, please reread my comment. I was talking about the people who felt uncomfortable about the amazon wish list, it is just a small link on the bottom of the description box, it's kinda weird and dumb for THEM(the people who are uncomfortable) to get so worked up and uncomfortable over that.
It's her choice though..
***** Well, don't feel stupid...it's okay! You're not stupid. Sophie, it's not her choice to take off the wishlist, she felt the need to because people were complaining about it.
HOLY SHIT KAT .I CAN'T EVEN WITH ALL THE BOXES AND ALL THE BOOKS. SO MANY BOOKS. OVERWHELMED. HOW TO EVEN. ALL THE BOOKS.
You look absolutely gorgeous with your hair up! And the Amazon wishlist issue, did Kat magically come through the screen and twist people's arm to buy her books? No. So knock it off. AMAZING book haul Kat! :)
I agree with you!
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!
people are so sensitive she should not feel that she had to apologize
exactly. 😒
not behind their backs if I made the comment
and posted it

Soooooo many books! I couldn't wait to see this haul when you talked about it at Vidcon, and I'm so gonna miss these monstrous book unboxings!
We all need a Mathew in our lives. :D
Omg yes!!
Is it just me or does anyone else think that those who feel "uncomfortable" because of someone posting their amazon wishlist, are booktubers who are not popular enough to get any books?

not just that but some people don't feel like good subs because they can't afford to send a book.
I agree. I as a subscriber have never felt obliged to buy anyone books, but I think It's a nice feature for those who want to. It's not an obligation, besides It's usually all the way at the bottom of the description box, It's not like they tell you to buy them something. People have made the "issue" a lot bigger then it needed to be.
Totally agree with this!
Hadn't really thought of it that way. Good point.
I agree. But I feel like those who are "getting jealous" are the ones who want equality. And equality isn't bad. If you know what I mean
Work that updo! Ooh I like the covers of those harry potter books! I've seen the old cheap ones, but the new ones look PRETTY.
MARA DYER. I need to read the first one.
I LOVE YOU
Yesssssss! Mara Dyer is AMAZING!
MARA DYER IS DA BOMB
Fantastic book haul. I can't understand why people got so offended by you having a wishlist-it's by viewers' request & I've never felt any obligation was imposed. I get that coffee-craziness too if I don't ration myself to a cup in the morning. Oh to the joys of too much caffeine!
The sound effects are on point. YES, The Immortal Rules! I love that trilogy so much. Kat, your book holding skills are amazing.
You remind me of Alison Hannigan's two characters Willow from Buffy and Lilly from How I Met Your Mother!
OMG!! I thought I was the only one!!! She looks EXACTLY like Willow
The brownies! Too funny.
OMG!! I thought that i was the only one too, lily the best ♥♥
i know, rightttt?

Matthew.. Is obviously the number one fan.
IN LOVE with your eye make-up.
I don't understand why people feel uncomfortable with Katy having a wish list. She should put the wish list back up.
You should make a video with Christine teaching her how to hold large stacks of books. You have mad skills plus it'd be super funny haha! Yay for The Bitter Kingdom! I recommend The Girl of Fire and Thorns for August 's Booksplosion read because not enough people know of this awesome trilogy! Please? Haha
omg it made people uncomfortable that you had a wish list????? jealousy... I swear some people will find the stupidest things to complain about. I would have left it, us that really like you and enjoy your videos are happy you get books from viewers.. hey that means more hauls :)
+TheGabriel2002
OMG!! Thank you so much!
when I hear i thought she was kidding!
MARA DYER IS AMAZING! Its seriously one of my favorites and I think you'll probably love it. ALSO your eye makeup in this video is amazing :)

How can you be offended by a wish-list?
SO much like Lilly from How I Met Your Mother :P
You look absolutely beautiful in this video Kat, I can't even. And I'm so jealous of your new, shiny books!

Graffiti Moon is one of my absolute favourite contemporaries ever! Hope you enjoy it!! :D
Hello Kat, This is the first video that have gotten me obssesed with reading and watching and exploring the booktube world!!! I AM SO HAPPY AND THANKFUL THAT I HAVE STUMBLED UPON THIS VIDEO...WITHOUT KAT , LIFE WOULD BE BORING lol😂
You're enthusiasm for books makes me smile! Gah so contagious, I need to go buy more books :D
Yay for Half-Blood! I love all JLA books, but this series is the best. Alex & Aiden FOREVER!
I love +Katytastic in this video because she is embracing her crazy side... HAHA
What if I want to send you a book or just someone else wants to?
Send it to her PO box if she has one.
Oh my gosh the new covers of the HP books are so beautiful!!!!!
O boy. she's sooooooooo awesome! totally in love with her craziness
The discovery of witches is an awesome book! I hope you love it
I love unboxings!! Especially when the person unboxing the items is excited haha. Also I really don't get the whole being uncomfortable with the wishlist thing because why do people care so much about what others do?

The Immortal Rules sounds so good when everyone explains it! I hope you like it!
We feel good buying you books because you know the excitement of buying someone books!!!💖
My tenth grade English teacher actually had us watch Howls Moving Castle in class haha, yes she was awesome
you sound like roger from American dad I couldn't stop laughing.
what a nice compliment :D
when she did the sound effect thing
I could not for the life of me stop staring at your makeup in this video. It's gorgeous. 😍💕
I never thought the Amazon Wishlist thing was ever offensive for you or any other booktuber. But each to his own I suppose. GREAT haul though. So many nice books!!!!!

'The Blood Of Eden' series (The Immortal Rules..) is one of my favourites! Hope you enjoy it!
HOPELESS. READ IT READ IT READ IT. Colleen is such a beautiful writer and all of her books are unique and touching and just ugh. She's the best.
Yay Mara Dyer!!!! Love this series and I cannot WAIT for the next one!
I need to be friends with Matthew and Denisse hahaha.
my thoughts exactly. Lol.
A Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night are two awesome books. It's about a witch and a vampire. I loved both books, and I'm sure you will as well.
I love the fact that you are making your own sound effects! I do that as well allll the time.
I personally never felt obligated to buy any UA-camr anything. If I did buy anything it is because I wanted to. Its sad that you have to do away with your wishlist because other people were feeling insecure. Either way, I appreciate you and your vids. The discovery of Witches is really good. The author seems to get a little crazy with the wine talk but other then that its a good story. Book #2 is much better and book #3 is coming out in about a week or two. WhooHoo!
You remind me so much of Brizzy Voices!!
I know right!!!
I think we all know that what those people were feeling was jealous not uncomfortable. I mean I feel jealous that I don't have that many books and people sending me books but you know what I would never expect you to stop posting your wishlist link just because I can't handle myself. Some people... I love browsing wishlists though, they usually help me choose what I'm going to read next.
I can understand why some people feel uncomfortable, but if feel like no book tuber has ever asked for people to buy them things. An amazon wish list is also an awesome way to see what a person rates highly so you can make your decisions with that in mind. It would be cool if you could send people books that aren't on the wish list so you can see their verdict on a boom you've enjoyed though. people sending others books (or anything) is nothing to be jealous over anyways just appreciate that they're are giving people in the world!x
I am nearing the end of The Blood of Eden series. You will love it Kat!!!!
So many new books! You must have got a new bookshelf by now :)

That is crazy if you want to have a wish list on amazon have one anyone that feels otherwise it's their own problem to deal with if they want to buy you something good for them if not ok then it's not your responsibility to take on what everybody feels that watches your videos
All I could think was about your moving... so many books to take with you!!!
BRING BACK YOUR WISH LIST!! i never bought u a book! but its fun to watch you getting books it gives me an idea to get myself books!!! i put them on my wish list and WAIT FOR PAY DAY :)

I read Hopeless and I loved it. This book is amazing and I can't even find good words to describe how amazing it was

Of Posidion is an amazing summer read!!! really fun... i hope you enjoy all the books!!!

A Dance With Dragons!! *Dying inside of excitement and anticipation*
I swear I must be the only person who hated the first Mara Dyer book. I'm indifferent on amazon wishlist but I've got to miss I'm going to miss these surprise unboxings...and oh my gosh. Hopeless! You're going to love it!
The Partials series is amazing! I've read all 3! I hope you love it!
I don't see the problem with random people wanting to send you all books…
Also I love how excited you are and then when you say the name and author of the book you're all calm and cool haha
A discovery of witches is really good!! It's slow to start but once you get into it it's really good
ALL OF THE BOOKS! I cannot even process. You're a lucky gal!
AND I FORGOT, YOUR EYE MAKE UP WAS AMAZING AND ON POINT
So jealous of all the packages. I wish I could come over to your house and open them up! I love opening packages.
I wish I had that many books. Just sitting in that room and knowing the books were mine would fill me with joy.
Kudos to you for linking to charities in your tumblr post. I always felt icky watching booktubers open piles of books whilst standing in front of hundreds of their own beautiful books. I kept thinking about kids and schools who can't afford books at all! You've done a good thing.
I have read A Discovery of Witches & Shadow of night! Very good! That was two years ago and I still have not read the third book. Unbelievable! Must find that book! Awesome unboxing video!!!
You have a lot of clout in the Book Tube world so I am grateful you are making careful choices with your influence. It's a cool community and we all will be happy to see it taking fun, conscientious and erudite paths as it evolves.
hey I love your videos and you have gotten me to watch other books channels and loving them.Do not let people make you feel guilty for you wish list. You do not make anyone send you books, the people that do I am sure enjoy sending them and watch you talk about them.
Awesome to see you got so many books, and that you love every single one of them!
your eyeshadow is so perfect it's crazy. you are so good at makeup.
The Spectacular Now is amazing. 😍
OMG STEELHEART THAT IS THE BEST... XD sorry, had to fangirl a little there
hello, I have commented on your channel as Buffyfan before, but this is my brand new, booktube/Creativity channel, basically combining all things I love to do. I love your channel!

I DIDN'T KNOW THE RETRIBUTION HAD BEEN PUSHED BACK AND I READ THE EVOLUTION AND THE WAIT IS KILLIIIIING ME!
