FTC: this video is sponsored in part by HMH for BLOODLEAF and GREYTHORNE. i received THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LARUE from the publisher TOR. all other books were purchased with my own money. as always, all thoughts and opinions are honest and my own!
The power that Kat has, to post a handful of times a year and remain relevant. This is yours 👑
lol bold of you to assume i'm still relevant
Katytastic true, you obviously haven’t heard that hauls aren’t allowed more
oh dang i'm like an out of touch old person now oops
litrally i think about katy like at least once a week
“not all of it is good, but some of it is really REALLY good” yes, this is the experience of reading fanfic for days and days on end
A KAT VIDEO!! A KAT VIDEO!! I REPEAT A KAT VIDEO!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL
That's just I think and yes it has to write thirce
YESSSS!!!!!!!!
KAT VIDEO KAT VIDEO
I think I've read 10 million words of fanfic this year but only 20 actual books 🤣
Reading is reading! 🤷🏾♀️
HONESTLY SAME THO
YES! Ive been reading so much fanfic of The Untamed and i regret nothing 😜
Saaaaaaaaaame!
"So maybe I do like sports anime..." LOL! Love it! Good for you!! 😁👍👍
YOUR BACK!! MISSED YOU!!!
"I hate that I exist in other people's heads" said a youtuber with millions of views and 250k subscribers
Also Beach Read is amazing!! You'll love it
lol LISTEN,,, it's complicated okay XD every few weeks i fight the urge to delete my entire social media presence and go live in the woods alone
so true
Katytastic awwww 😔
YES HAIKYUU I CRY EVERYTIME I READ IT and the arcs and character development are so good and everything comes full circle ❤️
Beach Read is great. It was like "literary romance". Alright, see you in 4 months.
okay that made me laugh out loud
You're awesome, Kat! I'm glad I'm not the only person who falls down fanfic rabbit holes.
I came as fast as I could. The first time my CZcams notifs have actually worked. They must have known this was important.
Awww I'm watching your videos after about 4 years. Still listening to you makes me wanna get all those books!! 😍😍
A wild Kat appears! It's always nice to see updates from you. Also, as an aside, your hair looks amazing right now.
yay, its always a good time when you upload a new video!!!!!! glad to see that you're enjoying yourself with things that you love!!! i hope that you're doing well overall, missed you a lot!!!
I've missed you!
I've been waiting for a new video (literally rewatched every video waiting for one of the booktube queens to post)
Also your writing have really been helping me in keeping me going in writing my stories/books!
Beach Read is fantastic! I went into the ARC not expecting much, but now it is one of my FAVORITE romances!
The characters! The CHARACTERS!
Love your passion!
Kaaaaat I get youuu I love haikyuu so so so so muuuuch 💕💕💕🤧🤧🤧 like really I don't even have words lol I'm so hyped for to the top pt 2 and the manga and writing style of furudate!!??? Uuuuufff *chef's kiss*
BEACH READ IS EVERYTHING
I was in the middle of drawing/sketching Kuroo and threw my pencil when you said Haikyuu ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....glad you love it though omfg
I missed you so much, Kat!
I love seeing you fangirling like this, you are so relatable!!!
The artwork on Bloodleaf and Greythorn are beautiful. 🥺
ahhh glad to see you, it's been a while!
we need a writing vlog Katy!!
anyways loved the video
Also I am sooo happy to see your video. 😊💖 I was actually thinking about you yesterday. I hope everything is well and that your book is being polished and you're still working on your dream.
Oh woah, i haven't seen your videos in a good few years, but I'm remembering all the reasons I love your videos!
THE FANFIC TRAP IS REAL!!!! You have fallen into the pit with the rest of us. Accept your fate!
YES I LOVE OPPOSITE OF ALWAYS!! Such a fantastic read
I WAS JUST THINKING OF HOW MUCH I MISS KAT! Gaaah!
okay wtf because I literally started watching Haikyu!! this week and it's years old now, so when you started talking about it in this video I was a little spooked. I even had the same hesitancy as you due to not liking sports anime. It's soooo good! :))
Yessss the queen returns!!!!
kat! it's so good to see your face in my feed! hope you're doing ok^^
yes! haikyu!! they are all my children and i would die for them!
THE SEROTONIN I GOT SEEING YOUR VIDOE IN MY NOTIFS WAS OFF THE CHARTS!!! HELLO! I MISS U! I TOO HAVE GOTTEN LOST IN THE FANFIC THIS SUMMER☠️
"i hate that i exist and other peoples heads" omg same.... The Mortifying Ordeal Of Being Known
exactlyyy. i do not wish to be Perceived.
Always love seeing your face pop up in my subscription box (wow that sounds weird XD). I love your fascination with Haikyuu, I'm so happy a bunch of people are getting into it (one of my friends finally watched the anime!).
Kat, please tell me your haikyuu ships! I'm so curious (I also would accept haikyuu fanfic recommendations)! Basically these last years most of my reading has been fan fictions. The writing isn't always great but man do I love it. Its surprising how much the quality varies in different fandoms, like Harry Potter fanfic is so hard for me to read cuz either the writings is…not great or its just such weird/creepy ships but then I go to a different fandom and read like a bunch of 100-200k novels that are so heartwarming and so well written. The internet man it's got layers XD
Man I miss seeing Kat on here! I’ve been a sub since 2014/2015 and you’ve absolutely always been one of my favorites!
OK BUT WHO'S YOUR FAV CHARACTER IN HAIKYUU??? WE MUST KNOW!!!
You lost me at Haikyu. My 11 year old is obsessed and I'm over it, haha
No pressure but I would love a writing vlog!
I am so with you on the whole fan fic thing...lol. I started reading it for the first time in March and now six months later and I’ve read over 200....some of which are like over 1,000 pages long...lol
Omfg she's here!!!!!!
I enjoyed Bloodleaf and I'm excited to read Greythorne. And I liked Beach Read. My favorite of the year though is Crescent City and Crave. My other two favorites are The Sundown Motel by Simone St. James and Home Before Dark by Riley Sager. I'm reading Where Dreams Descend and A Court of Mist and Fury and One by One by Ruth Ware. Happy Reading and Writing. 📚📓📝📖🧡🍁
When she read the description for Blood leaf, all I could think of at rhe beginning was Frozen 😂
I came here hoping you'd rave for a while about Haikyuu and I was not disappointed. I'm so so glad you love the series so much!! I'd highly recommend you also try watching Run With The Wind! It's, surprise surprise, a running anime about college boys but it gave me a lot of similar Haikyuu feels (the production company and composer are actually the same too)
I SAW THE NOTIFICATION AND WAS LIKE IS THIS REAL???? MISSED YOU❤️
I’ve had Haikyu on my list on Netflix for so long and not got round to it but after this video I think that has to change... I feel a new obsession coming on
Holy shirt , KAT IS BACK
The power of the yam!
yes!! haikyuu is THAT anime. just brilliant and sweet and action-packed all in one. really think the series as a whole is one of the best shows of all time. the writing is so compelling and the games are actually so entertaining and hype to watch.
I just finished You Should See Me in a Crown last night!! I loved it so much!
KAT! IT IS SO LOVELY TO SEE YOU!! 🤩
i dont know but getting to be immortal and not being plagued by flashback of embarrassing shit ive done because everyone 100% forgets for sure about it sounds like a pretty sweet deal
(I've been rewatching Haikyuu for the last week and yeah good shit, I'm still very daunted by the manga :'D. The fact also that it DOESNT need (canon) romances because, for the readers/watchers, the relationships are plenty emotionally fulfilling as they are speaks VOLUMES)
Getting sucked into fanfics is basically my life. At the beginning of last year I think I tried to track how many words of fanfics I was reading and then divide them by average Length of books to see how much I read. It went up real fast let me tell you in the week I did it we were In the hundreds of thousands
Miss u lots now that u arent as active on twitter. I love ur twitter page & i dont even have a twitter account. I just only go check on u from time to time so that's saying something.
I am TOO EXCITED for Addie LaRue! I'm dying for it!1
"reading fanfic all summer" lmao RELATABLE. Books? What are they?
YAS HAIKYU LIFE TAKEOVER!!! It has been my healing balm during all of this.
Haikyuu really is amazing 😭
HAIKYUU IS MY LIFE!!!!! i'm so ready for the second half of season four GIMME GIMME
@@Katytastic Right??? So hyped!!!
Beach Read sounds fantastic. And now I need to watch Haikyu.
Maybe you could do some fan fiction reviews/recommendations for the anime?! I love fan fiction too (I read it almost everyday but I also feel like I’m not ACTUALLY reading, like I’m not an avid reader if I’m not reading published books lol) so it would be cool to see a CZcamsr talking about it more :D
Me wanting to recommend fanfic to people, but also not wanting them to fall down the whole of never having enough fanfic and never picking up a novel again. Side note I read a fanfic longer than the Bible and I’m really proud of that fact. 😊
I've been reading a lot of FanFiction over the summer! I would've read double of my goodreads goal!
WHAT A MOOD ABOUT HAIKYUU HAHA
YOU'RE ALIVE
omg I recently got into My Hero Academia, I've read the first 60ish chapters out of about 250 that are currently out in the past week
I'm so glad you like Haikyuu! It's by far my favorite manga (and show) EVER.
Oh my gosh it's Kat
it's true!!! it's me!!!
I have missed your videos!!!
WOW it's been a whiiile! I like your hairs seestra! it has grown so much O_O
ah thank you!!
Who are your fave characters in Haikyuu? And yeah, Haikyuu fanfic is on another level. Before MHA it used to have the most entries on AO3 lol And if you want more, there is a side series I think called School Days that focuses on the other teams in high school and just them as students.
Haikyuu is everything. I remember people telling me to watch it and I did not understand because Volleyball? Really? BUT IT IS SO GOOD.
Yay happy to see you
Good see you! Thanks to new video!
Glad that you enjoy Haikyuu as much as I do😊😊
“I will probably have another video up... eventually” 😭😭😭
Opposite of Always makes me think of a music video by a kpop guy group that I love. the music video is called Severely and it is basically his gf dies and he is in the church mourning her and he gets up to leave and he bumps into her. she has no recollection of him at all either
Kats been sprinkling herself in sparsely throughout the year since 2016 and still getting more views than most booktubers. 😙 What is your secret?
Haikyuu a synopsis by Kat: good shit real good shit 😂
I love watching your videos
My wait of 3 months is finally over!!!!!!!!!
I got an arc of greythorne so I need to find a copy of blood leaf asap
Yay! Kat!
I kinda switch from reading novels to something more visual like manga and comics.
I attempted NaNoWriMo twice and failed twice because but this year I’m going to try a different medium. I’m going to try and make a graphic novel or comic instead! My drawing is kinda mediocre but I’m slowly getting better.
P.S Sorry for the random paragraph, can’t wait for your next video
are you going to post it to webtoon or something?
Pladyduck Godzilla Yeah most likely Webtoons if I finish it. My goal is to have a outline and character summaries before NaNoWriMo but right now I’m just studying Andrew Loomis so I can draw better heads.
this anwser my question about if read fanfiction count like in you year read
I have also been obsessed with Haikyuu
I see you have chosen to grow the mermaid hair again Kat.
please do talk about the ships ksksks maybe then I get the courage to get back to it (I've only watched season 1)
If you need another obsession try the C-drama The Untamed!! Theres 50 episodes on netflix and im in my 3rd watch of the show while devouring all the fanfiction on the entire interwebs 😂 also reading the original translated novel!! Literally all ive accomplished the entire summer lol
We love you Kat
Where have you been Queen!?
I want more anime reviews along with discussion of books!
YES KAT I MISSED YOU
💕💕
I had missed this. 🥺
So after convincing me to watch yuri on ice (which I absolutely loved) you're now making me wanna watch an anime about volleyball...
Girl! I'm thinking of getting into Haikyuu myself because of the shipping 😂 I was the biggest Sasuke x Naruto shipper ever several years ago (who am I kidding, I will never get over those two. lol) and a lot of people I follow from that time are really into Haikyuu, and I think it's because of the shipping, so I'm thinking of giving it a chance too. haha
Yes!!! Haikyuu! all the way
Not quite related but *your hair looks so cool* 😆✨🔥
I read literally hundreds of thousands of words of fanfic a week, but novels? I don't have the attention span for those anymore lol. Do you usually read on AO3?
Please do talk at length about the ships you like in Haikyu!
💙
No more white balance issues I see :) and speaking of manga a friend of mine has got me started reading this one called Classroom Chat Group on the app NovelFull it’s a whopping 1300 chapters apparently it’s like the whole series or whichever but I’m still not much of an e book reader so that’s almost too much lol 😂
