@@sharifalsaad2988 yes Sharif because he deserves that title, for his contributions to the art and culture of this COUNTRY, NAY, THE WORLD! Also, my lol xD
i finally read radio silence bc of ur recommendation and i have never loved a book more i love love love it thank u so much for bringing it into my life
The way I was complaining about a lack of videos for me to watch and then I got the notif, thank you always for providing at the best possible timing lol
I shall now drop everything I was doing because KAT HAS POSTED! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Plus she'll help me figure out what to read as I'm stuck in another lockdown...
i read the raven cycle because of your recommendation and i absolutely adore the series!! i’m 20 and still thought they were utterly incredible and made me trust your recommendations over ANYONE else’s 😂
I'm thirty and still don't get why people "guilty pleasure" or "shame" rec TRC. It's genuinely a good series yet people act like it's not that good? Idk. I love it lol
i only say it bc i read it sooo young when i was way less critical!! but tbh of all the books i read at that age, it's one of the few that i feel like i would still vibe with if i read it for the first time today! so, maybe it's more guilty pleasure adjacent lol
My uni entrance exams start in 2 days and about 3 weeks ago, I finally read Radio Silence! I'm really so glad that I did. The day I started it, I was in a murky place mentally and this book felt like laying down on a mossy riverbank with my hand in the water while the sky shifts from blue to purple and the stars start coming out. And by that, I mean it was extremely comforting. I learned more about myself than I thought I would from reading it, and it's really just been such a blessing!
So amazing to hear you rec Courtney Summers, and especially Cracked Up to Be! It’s one of my favourite books of all time and I never hear it talked about in the book community.
1. the amount of rhymes in this vid is impeccable 2. when I turn 17 in a few months a will be binging radio silence 3. the poet x just got bumped up to the top of my list cause Kat crying is unheard of 4. have you read Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe
Watching old videos because I miss your videos so much! You are one of my fav yt person. I hope all is ok and hope to see you sooooon. No pressure though, in time. 😄
I’m so happy you mentioned Angelfall 😞For a long time I felt like nobody read it when I did but I just wasn’t on the book side of anything and it’s always nice to be reminded that there were others who enjoyed it too 💕
You described my feelings on The Raven Cycle perfectly! I’ve been obsessed w the series since I was fourteen, I just can’t seem to ever let it go. Anyways, I value your opinions on books immensely so I will be putting the books mentioned in this vid on hold at my library ASAP😌✌️
And if you like Sadie... you should read A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (by Holly Jackson). Seriously, I just finished it and it's one of the best murder mysteries I have EVER read, and I'm a huge mystery fan in general.
OH MY GOD, I am obsessed with your inclusion of “Skim”!!! It’s legitimately my favourite graphic novel; it was the first one I ever read - it was a present from my dad years ago when I was an angsty little teen, and it remains one of my comfort reads. I can relate to Kim so much, and the topics of queer attraction, mental health and magic are very close to my heart.
2:35 YES! Radio Silence waltzed into my life at such a weirdly fitting moment. It was the night before my first day of college and I stayed up late, starting and finishing Radio Silence, a book about teens considering paths other than college.
I feel the same way about the raven cycle and all you said about being a kid who liked spiderwick chronicles and even tho i just read the raven boy with 21 years old it still rocked my world and made me totally and completely forget the real world. I do love magic, and trees, and fat aesthetic notebooks that guide an adventure, and dreamers and tarot cards!!!
I read Radio Silence based on your recommendation a while ago and it was one of the best book purchases I've ever made! It was and is such a good book for me and it really helped me and made me feel comforted when I read it. It made me feel a whole lot less alone. I have to say, it didn't quite resonate with me the way Starfish or Summer Bird Blue by Akemi Dawn Bowman did, (I'm an artist and I lost my mother when I was young so those two really struck a cord with me) but it put me on to more of Alice Oseman's work! She's a great author and I highly recommend Radio Silence, too!
I was in a Young Adult Literature class last semester. It was so interesting! I'm an English Education Major, so we discussed how to use YA books in the high school classroom.
I bought Radio Silence last week but I haven't read if yet and what you just said makes me wanna read it even more 😍 I love ya books because I tried to read more english books and ya is best to understand when english isn't your first language
“I read these in high school and I fell in love with the story and the setting and I allowed the main characters to shape a worrying amount of my personality and the rest is history. I can’t get rid of these. I can’t detach myself from these even if I wanted to.” - Me @ Twilight Also: “Do you hate reality and like trees?”
Omg I'm reading the Angelfall series now and I love it!!! I just finished the second book and immediately had to buy the 3rd lol. Also you deserve an A.
Not to be emotional and all that shit but you're like the best thing that's happened to me, as a reader. I was an avid reader for like 2 years and then due to *reasons* books didn't make me feel anything anymore. And, because I have trust issues, I keep rereading books I've already read/ other books from my favourite author. But your recommendations have helped me, a lot. So thank you
I started to read books this pandemic. I saw this video and finished Radio Silence in less than a month. The story give me chills specially the last part. Thank you for sharing this videoo!!
i was positively surprised to see Angelfall on the list. it's a book i bought on accident this year and had basically no big expectations when i went into reading it, and i was totally shocked by how much fun it was. i literally burned through it and bought the rest of the series the next day. it's so fun but i've never seen booktube talk about it a whole lot. so yeah, positively surprised and approve!
Kay you’re a whole vibe I love it. Also the raven cycle! I’ve been putting off finishing it because I don’t want it to end 🤣 I’ve also heard radio silence is so good! I’ll definitely give it a try.
as a 17 year old who wants to cry anytime college is brought up in a conversation i would like to say the fact that college petrified 17 year old kat really just makes me feel a l o t better abt the future. thank you & good night. *bows*
Kat, you should really read Darius The Great Is Not Okay, if you haven't read it already. I feel like you will love it since you live Radio Silence so much. It has some amazing family dynamics and the most beautiful platonic male friendship I have ever seen.
I read trc for the first time in my twenties and I'd say that, for all its flaws, the series has something truly magical (no pun intended) about it. It's one of the few series where I can see totally valid criticisms that I have absolutely no rebuttals against but they don't hinder my enjoyment at all. Like my response to the trk ending is unironically "go anticlimactic queen, give us nothing!"
Well I've been putting off reading the Raven cycle for a while, but after hearing you compare it to the Spiderwick Chronicles, I guess I have to read it now. Loved those books as a kid!
1) yes sadie is incredible 2) I too hate reality and like trees and 3) "I'd lend you a copy but I only have 5" I feel called out. excuse me while I immediately read everything from this list
I’m not sure if you know or not, but there is a trilogy (only one book out so far though) called the dreamer trilogy, which is also by Maggie Stiefvater. It centers around Ronan (who happens to be my favorite character). Also there is another one called opal, it’s kinda a side book basically just about opal.
So when are we seeing the reaction of your class/prof to your being an actual booktuber and having 250K Subs? Honestly just tell us what they said I want to live vicariously thank you
I’m listening to Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo right now and it’s so amazing! When I was a teenager, I loved reading Ellen Hopkins, Ellen Wittlinger, and Laurie Halse Anderson.
I read radio silence and how to make a wish based on your advice and i did not regret it😍😍🦋🌞they were both beautiful, and your videos are great as well, keep on giving such good tips!!🌠
kitchen kat just hits different
the bananas in the back are the real stars let’s be honest
Kit Kat-
She hits even more different if she hits with a knife
i do in fact hate reality and like trees
Raven cycle is in fact where it’s at for that mood
I spotted another theater kid
@@lilaboxx yes you have lol
Oh we love the username reference
Oooh, then you should read The Trees by Ali Shaw.
"I'd lend you a copy, but I only have 5" THAT IS ME TO MY SIBLINGS WITH MY FAVORITE BOOKS
THEY ARE ALL SPECIAL!!!!! THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING

Every time kat says "I don't have an outro, okay bye" and lunges for the camera, I feel like she's smacking us away

Totally
I mean I read romance only based on Kat's recomendation🤣
me at 17 being scared of college and having no plans for the rest of my life... maybe i should finally read Radio Silence...
NOW IS YOUR TIME
just added it to my tbr!!
Same , might just have to pick up a copy 👁️👄👁️
I’m 17 and not ready for college. Pray for me.
I was also very scared of college and I read it this summer right before starting college. I highly recommend it.
I feel like “do you hate reality and like trees?” is the best pitch for the raven cycle I’ve ever heard 🤷🏼♀️
the only human living organism I take recs from
AW 🥺
Whenever I see somebody holding the complete set of The Raven Cycle
I feel like it adds a least 10 more minutes to my life
"Heavy on the action, light on the romance" love that
Give me all them "steaming hot recs" I am sitting here with my champagne and notebook
i ADORE the energy of this scenario
@@paperbackdreams taking notes, getting champagne drunk 🥰
maybe it’s just me but Kat seems slightly less chaotic energy in this video because of her college project

1. I am seen.
2. A rhyme, there has been.
swear to god i thought Kat said “serving up rex” and expected some dinosaur content for a hot minute
so what i'm hearing is that i should quit booktube and make the switch to dinotube?
@@paperbackdreams i mean i’ll follow your content in whatever direction you go so like do you girl trust your vibe
i finally read radio silence bc of ur recommendation and i have never loved a book more i love love love it thank u so much for bringing it into my life

When I saw this in my notifications I released a breath I didn't realize I was holding
The way I was complaining about a lack of videos for me to watch and then I got the notif, thank you always for providing at the best possible timing lol
💜💜💜
"do you hate reality and like trees / cool me too, read these"
is the best description of trc i have ever heard
"Do you hate reality and love trees?"
Yes
I just read “Radio Silence“because of you a few days ago and I absolutely loved it! Greetings from Germany :D
Another German:)) I also read it because of kat and absolutely loved it!
@@kathaSchmei also German, i bought it last week and will read it soon
German meeting ^^
I think they should translate Radio Silence into German so more people here can read it :D
"We are the ants" is also not translated... But I mean most German teens have the English knowledge that it takes to read it :)
Ich wusste nie, dass auch andere Deutsche Kat schauen😍♥️
did you say “escapism at its finest”? ok i am sold - they are being purchased asap.
YAY
I shall now drop everything I was doing because KAT HAS POSTED! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Plus she'll help me figure out what to read as I'm stuck in another lockdown...
Radio silence, The raven cycle, Angelfall, Courtney Summers? *THE TASTE IS IMMACULATE*

BLLB is the BEST oneeeeeee
oh wow, straight hair kat

Truly a blessed Saturday, democracy won and kat uploaded!
I only read the Raven Boys because of you and loved it. Definitely gonna add some of these books to my TBR. If Kat says, you know, you should listen.
“Do you hate reality and like trees?” I’m sold
And if you like Sadie... you should read A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (by Holly Jackson). Seriously, I just finished it and it's one of the best murder mysteries I have EVER read, and I'm a huge mystery fan in general.
it's on my list!
Well, somehow you've made me remember books I loved as a kid and now must reread. Cracked Up to Be was one of my faves

Just turned 17 and super afraid of college and everything that comes with it. I should go read radio silence i guess!
Thank you for recommending Speak. I read it in high school and it has stayed with me forever.
i like that you said "i think you should read." IT'S JUST NICE TO HAVE SOMEONE SUGGEST SOMETHING INSTEAD OF SAY "YOU MUST READ!!!"
Well I've been putting off reading the Raven cycle for a while, but after hearing you compare it to the Spiderwick Chronicles, I guess I have to read it now. Loved those books as a kid!
hey its our favourite librarian
Another title by Mariko Tamaki I would recommend is This One Summer. Beautiful artwork + beautiful story.
1) yes sadie is incredible 2) I too hate reality and like trees and 3) "I'd lend you a copy but I only have 5" I feel called out. excuse me while I immediately read everything from this list
I was, in fact, holding my breath. Thanks for not letting me pass out.
Never in my life would I think you'd have recommended Angelfall. But damn they slap
they don't get NEARLY enough love!!!
I’m not sure if you know or not, but there is a trilogy (only one book out so far though) called the dreamer trilogy, which is also by Maggie Stiefvater. It centers around Ronan (who happens to be my favorite character). Also there is another one called opal, it’s kinda a side book basically just about opal.
So when are we seeing the reaction of your class/prof to your being an actual booktuber and having 250K Subs? Honestly just tell us what they said I want to live vicariously thank you

Ordered Radio Silence after watching this video. Thank you for the reccomendations (:
i hope you enjoy it!
"Sometimes, kind of, maybe do on the side, a little bit, occasionally, not often"
Saw your video a few days back and read Radio Silence after hearing you recommend it. AND YES IT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING BOOK!!! LOVED IT!!!
I was in the middle of my book club meeting and I couldn't wait to finish, so I can watch this 💕
I’m listening to Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo right now and it’s so amazing!
When I was a teenager, I loved reading Ellen Hopkins, Ellen Wittlinger, and Laurie Halse Anderson.

i legit thought this was a non-recent video due to the setting but when i saw "36 minutes ago" I GASPED
I'm amazed this isn't just twelve minutes of Kat shouting about Radio Silence (which I just bought on Kat's recommendation!)
be proud i really kept my shit together hahah
Angelfall is *chef’s kiss* you are the first person I’ve heard on YT mention it in YEARS
