This is a great list! I am reading Celia’s House by D.E. Stevenson. I have also read Miss Buncle’s book. I am due to re-read Harry Potter and might need to start that soon 🙂

Can’t wait to read Sixes! I was going to wait until it’s officially Autumn, as you know, Katie 😊. But, you’ve inspired me to read it after I finish the book I’m reading now. 🍂🎃. Yay! Great video!

Great topic, Katie! I’ve got a lot to say on this topic, which are all just my opinions and preferences, and I could go on and on about this…..So, I’ll try to just share a little bit. I LOOOVE BOTH! I’m in my late-ish 50s and have been a reader my whole life. When e-readers first came out and I had bookshelves packed with physical books, I was like, “No way! I will never switch to reading on a device!” Fast forward a few years, and I got my first iPad and I fell in love with reading my fictional novels on AppleBooks! For all the same reasons that you stated, it’s really really nice!! But, I’ll always love physical books, especially in non-fiction, and I still have a couple bookshelves full of them, and I will always buy physical books, as well….the feel, the smell, the beauty, what they do for a room….love love love! So, I love both and always will have both. Recently, I started buying more than non-fiction in hardback because some of my thriller novels are like my friends! And, I am now buying some in first edition, hardcover, autographed from The Mysterious Bookshop who ships to me from their location in Tribecca, NY! I am thrilled to display them on my shelves and around my home by my various reading spots! Yay books❤📚 ❤!

Hi Katie! Great video! Many of these are among my favorite authors and you chose great books to represent them. I haven’t read The Sixes, yet, and now it’s at the top of my list! Because, I loved how you described it! So, I’m very excited for that one, which I’m saving for official Autumn. I actually have never read Lucy Clarke, though, so I’ve now added The Hike to my list, as well. Loving your videos!

Hi Katie! I’m new to your channel and I really enjoyed your video! You definitely like the same types of books I do! Neat! I’ve read Like Mother, Like Daughter and it is fantastic!! I’m looking forward to ALL of the others and have them on my list. I’ve subscribed to your channel and now I’m off to watch some of your other videos! xo

Thanks for these recommendations! I've been reading a lot this summer thanks to you! By the way....love your lipstick!

I’m looking forward to some of these. How do you read this many books in this short of a time? Wow!

I haven’t heard of Kate White, I will have to check her out. I am going to read Charlotte’s Web to my boys soon. I just finished the Melendy quartet by Elizabeth Enright and loved them. I’ll have to get Thimble Summer!

I just finished Zero Days! I loved it, too!!! Now trying to decide which of these Ruth Ware books to read next.

I love the Cat in the Stacks series! Miranda James has a Cat in the Stacks spinoff series called the Southern Ladies that focuses in on the Ducote sisters who show up from time to time in the Cat in the Stacks series. I love the Southern Ladies series too! I didn't like the love triangle in Library Lovers but I love everything else about the series. I can't wait for the Christmas book later this year.

Hey Katie it is your cousin Austin

Hey Katie this is your cousin austin

Splendid recommendations, thankyou very much!

Thank you, Katie ~ what a great list!

I have read Jen Mckinlay and really enjoy those.

Thanks for these recommendations!!

cat in the stacks series is fun! charlie got on my nerves a bit later in the series but love the characters and diesel!

Hi!! This was really interesting! I only read The Guest List which I enjoyed a lot last year. I will add some of your recommendations on my TBR! Greetings from Argentina. P.S: Just a little recommendation: You might try using a microphone so we could listen to your reviews with a better sound quality. :)

Wonderful recommendations, Katie!

I am so happy I found your channel! Thank you for your reviews 😀

that first one sounds good - maybe with it being 'slow' in places I can catch my breather (and re-grow fingernails LOL!)

Wonderful reviews as always! Also, ma'am, can I just say your lighting is flawless, I'm going to learn from you.

New subbie here. Your channel caught my eye because I’m a big fan of psychological suspense, mystery, and thrillers. It’s basically all I read. My top 3 books so far in 2024 are: Kill for Me, Kill for You by Steve Cavanagh. He’s a great writer. The next is Home is Where the Bodies Are, partly because the setting of the story is basically where I live, not in Allen’s Grove, but very close. A few scenes take place in the city where I live. That’s a new one for me. (It’s unusual because I live in a very small town in Wisconsin). Also, I thought it was a fun and twisty story. Lastly, I very much enjoyed The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins…another page turner!

I'm also having a go at this booktube lark, looks fun - daunting, but exciting. I also read a lot of fantasy & mystery. Yes, the logistics of creating this are scary, but stimulating to learn & try new things. I look forward to following your adventures with books.

lol you’re going to get a lot of hate over your diss of ACOTAR 🤣🤣 But I totally agree with you!!! And I LOVE books about the Fae! Emma has read a few in this series and she really likes them. I’m with you though!!

The book that I’m most excited for is The Trap, by Ava Glass. Somehow, I got the release date wrong for this book - it’s actually being published in September. Oh well, we’ll just have to wait a little longer to read it! What book are you most excited about?

I just started reading One Perfect Couple. I've found her books to be very hit or miss for me, but this one sounds intriguing! I have never read Kate White, so thanks for the review!

I have both but I like to own a copy of all the books I love. You're adorable btw

I just finished Ruth Ware's Zero Days (maybe SPOILER) that you recommended (think it was you!) I started it and the murder I knew would happen was blech then I spent a while totally lost as I'm about the least techy person (i'd been dead for sure if I were this woman!) but finally got as relaxed as I could while reading something like this and followed along marveling how she could keep truckin' along HA! I admit to never really understanding why any of it happened or why someone would even mess with that stuff - (obviously I'm either not looking or I'll be perfectly bribeable LOL!) but I didn't enjoy the suspense once I finally convinced myself it was fiction and not really real!

I have both but font size needs kindle usually - and for older books that are beautiful then that's what I want LOL! I love looking at shelves and seeing books - but for travel nothing like having a 1000+ books ready on kindle LOL!

I recommend Sweet Home Alaska! I read it as an adult and enjoyed it snd actually learned some history! Boxcar children are my forever favorites but they’re very outdated and while I like the new ones they added, they definitely changed! Was a bit of a shock to see dear aunt Jane go from death bed in old series to leading canoe camping trips in the new 😂 snd Henry dropped down in age so he didn’t drive feeble grandpa around. I enjoyed escaping with my favorites which were boxcar children, surprise island and schoolhouse and caboose and houseboat at times. Some of the older scholastic titles I read like crazy like the trouble with terry and baby island

I love the audio of a year down yonder 🥰 the narrator really makes that book!

Charlie and the chocolate factory is the only Roald book I’ve read and that was after the movie. My brother had it

Oh no I think I’m gonna be buying more books😂

I’ll have to get thimble summer since your expert recommends it and locked in a library sounds awesome!

I haven't read any of these, but now I want to read all 10 and see who ends up being my favorite 😊

Love anything by Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. Then there is the original - The Sherlock Holmes short stories. Happy reading to you and your channel.

i'm tryign to remember the title of a thriller type book I read a long time ago but hard to ask as I don't want to spoil it..sigh. I thought maybe Anne Stuart as I think I was reading some of her stuff back then - but a young woman was taken away as a child by her mother and was told never to go back there. turns out her birthmark indicated something she knew nothing about but the 'bad' person did. ring any bells?!

I have no idea why I'm watching thrillers as they scare me too much LOL! yet here I am adding to amazon list and getting ready to check out my library LOL! I need one for good easy relaxing reads (and yep I bought a box of old harlequins on ebay and laughed and rolled my eyes through one already (from the 70s -predictable, man with great driving skills - aka strong skilled hands on the steering wheel) and yep I enjoyed it!

The sorority murder sounds fun

It would drive me insane to read a series out of order, even if the books are more standalone in the series. 🤣 Did I ever recommend the Corrina Chapman series by Kerry Greenwood? It's been a while since I've read them, but I really enjoyed them. I haven't read the latest one yet, but it's on my tbr list.

Adorable

I just love your earnest vibes, subscribed. What's your favorite book set in the south? Do you like Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil?

Thank you for the great Tips added some of these books to my tbr :) love your bookshelfs in the background. as a reccomandation i would say the house across the lake from riley sager. i wish you a lovely day.

The Booktown mystery series sounds good. I love books set in bookstores.

summers at the saint sounds good! and The Last Tiime She Saw Him. I put both on hold at my library since I already have soo many checked out and so many more I've bought on kindle LOL!

I opened bday gifts and cousin/aunt gave me a nancy drew book and I started reading it LOL! got reprimanded of course..sigh...

there's an old harlequin romance set on a river cruise- Bride of the Delta Queen by janet Dailey. I think Vicki Lewis Thompson has a romantic comedy(probably spicy) set ona cruise as well.(looked it up and think it's Nerds Like It Hot. I don't recall it so it wasn't my favorite of her Nerd romances (the nerd who loved me gets that award LOL!) I've enjoyed Hope's series (need to get back to it LOL!) eta (again!) hope's series does have some christian elements - mainly her looking for c hapel and service and some prayers. one of the books she does something I really disagreed with though but it's fiction... but it still bothered me. overall though the 8 or so stories I've read have been entertaining enough!

Read the ending first?! I would never! My confession is that I've been known to literally hold one eye open with my fingers to finish reading a chapter at 4:00 AM.

Harry Potter is one. So is the Hunger games
