I said this in the live comments, but I really want you to have this in the normal comments too. this kind of vlog is so nice and specifically the closet angle made me feel like we were just hanging out on FaceTime with you keeping me company while I’m in bed with a migraine. I really really enjoyed it ❤
I love how opposite we are sometimes cause Project Hail Mary is one of my faves but I just read Maeve Fly and gave it 1 star 🤣🫶
OMG RILEY NOOOOOO! Not Maeve Fly! Not the greatest ice hockey romance of the year 🤣
DNFing isn't a bad thing. Slogging through books I hate will put me into a book slump.
I pride myself on it
🫣🫣🫣 I really love these sort of chaotic reading vlogs. So freaking entertaining & fun.
Renyu is how you pronounce the Chinese characters of her name
They literally translate: ren = person, yu = fish
(Chinese characters are called hanzi-- han rhymes with dawn, zi vowel is kinda but not quite like an 'uh' sound)
Oh wow thank you so much! After I filmed that clip I did look up the translation and thought it was so cool but I guess I forgot to mention it in my next update 🙄
Omg I am so glad you felt the same way about PHM as me 😭 I was struggling through that book and I really wanted to like it because everyone else seemed to like it 🧍♀️I finished it and gave it 2.5 to be nice 🧎♀️
That's great that you can read at work when it's slow... for every job I've had they would've told me to find something to do.. you know.. "busy work" even if it's all already done.. only so many times you can re-stock things or wipe the same counter!
I was like “why is Katie going to read Project Hail Mary if she hates Andy Weir?”. Most obvious outcome ever 😂😂😂
I didn’t know it until I read that! I dnfed the Martian and thought maybe I’d made a mistake. But alas
@@KatieColson ohhh, okay! Just based on the way you’ve talked about his writing/humor I just assumed you hated his work already. My intuition spot on
🫣🫣🫣🫣 honestly love you. Give us more of this chaos.
Yass queen go off about Project Hail Mary!!! I also didn't like it and was shocked it was so beloved. I liked Rocky and the ending but yeah it was a 2 star still you're not missing anything by not finishing it if you were hating it
I will try to find the podcast I heard this on and message you, but you're absolutely correct about the debut authors. They were saying that their debut is often an author's best work because they put so much effort into their first book and they spend the most time with it so it undergoes the most edits.
Your experience with Shark Heart is actually really surprising to me! I loved it and it made me BAWLLL which is sooo rare for books. I loved the writing and am both surprised and not surprised you found the writing cringe. I can sort of see it but as someone who literally cringes at everything (i can’t watch movies because of it) I don’t think I cringed once. It’s a shame but people have different tastes!
What an entertaining & hilarious video! I needed this tonight, so thank you, Katie. 🫣🫣🫣
Off topic, but when will we see a reading journal flip through and the 2024 setup? 😍😍😍
I LOVE YOUR VLOGS SO MUCH!! the chaos brings me so much joy
🫣 I dislike Andy Weir’s books & thank you
Katie for saying it out loud!🫣
Katie giving all the legit reasons to,
dislike a book also, katie giving us free will to read is like mother grounding her child saying "im doing this becoz i love you"😂
🫣 I love how honest you are!! Favorite reader/booktube chick ever!!
Rocky is my favorite too❤❤
I think the video portrays the experience you had with the books.
That's what I like about your content.
Every video is different in the way the books are different. It's pretty cool actually, that you can transport it so well. ❤
you know it's a good day when Katie Colson posts a reading vlog
LITERARYUSSY
Combobulate means to put together in order. So you’re good 👍🏻
I just have to say that every time I see that your video is longer that 45 minutes it makes my entire week 🥰
You just named dropped so many of my favorite five stars reads in one sentence. Any Man, A Dowry of Blood, Just Like Mother. Comparing Chlorine to these just moved it way up my tbr. I think weird with beautiful prose is my favorite genre ngl.
PHM was one of the only 3 books I DNF this year. So glad others didn’t like it. Thought it was only me. 😂
🫣🫣 absolutely love your reading vlogs. They’re so entertaining and relatable 🥰
I feel the exact same about Project Hail Mary. I HATTTTEEEEDDD it. I got about 50 pages in and dnf’d it forever and I’m not sorry about it
I also REALLY disliked Project Hail Mary for the same exact reasons. I finished it because I had to for a taste test vlog but it was not worth it 😂 it was nice to find someone who actually feels the same 😂🎉 great vlog
Your opinions on Bunny and PHM instantly make me trust your recs
A 1 & a 5 haha
the playing games while listening to audiobooks is top 5 experiences in life
For the record I loved project Hail Mary, but your rant about it had me cackling 🤣 The vehemence in the way you spoke about hating it totally reminds me of the way I speak about Everything Everywhere All at Once, so I’m here for the unpopular opinions!
This is so random but I love how you walk around the room while reading 😂 Your entire outro i'm crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video, same with searching for a 5-star read...I DNF'd Chlorine...one week left. 🤞🏽
You're an absolute MONSTER for not liking PHM!! 😂 jk of course. I loved it so much last year that I re-read it this year, which isn't something I ever do, and I found myself cringing at the humor during my second go, so I can definitely understand your feelings.
A pretty good wake-up-from-a-coma on a spaceship book is Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty. (The end of the book is a bit standard sf thriller, but I still recommend it overall.)
"Yeah, it's like all your other videos." (fantastic)
Thank you!!! I did not like project Hail Mary or shark heart. Your 2 stars is kind.
Just a little info, autistic people have emotions like everyone else, they just don't display then the way other people do and struggle to read other people's emotions, it's a weird stereotype that they don't really have emotions. ❤
Oh no, you’re totally right. I’m so sorry. I didn’t word that correctly at all. I was also uneducated on that. I thought they had different emotional reactions from others. Not that they just didn’t show them. Thank you. I’m sorry again
@@KatieColson No worries, just wanted to say, since a lot of people dont know a lot about it and having a partner who is autistic and being AuDHD myself, I just like to talk about it ❤️
Loved this! 🫣😂
"My eyes could not be dryer" is my whole vibe 😂
"he's turning into a great white shark" immediately adding to my TBR because WHAT. I had no idea THAT was what this was about lol. I saw it was a pretty cover and "love story" and just kinda....scrolled by 😬
[edit] i got to the end and now i'm like...wondering if i'll pick it up lol. Chlorine for sure though
🫣❣️ You're hilarious. I adore your sense of humor.
The fact that I finished this video and immediately purchased Maeve Fly and Chlorine lol thank god I posted an unhaul today idk why I can’t stop buying books rn
KATIE you should read Butcher Blackbird!! It's a BOTM add on that came late and it sounds SO GOOD/SO YOU!!
I JUST finished Shark Heart and I feel exactly the same as you have. Omg. I couldn't connect to ANYTHING at all. My eyes were dry as well.
I got that same exact "ickk" with Chlorine! It caused me to soft DNFd but I think ima have to try again. 😎
The complete lack of editing (cough*red tower*cough) is killing me. I try not to judge, but man, how can people read books that are so poorly edited. If a book is full of errors, it immediately pulls me out of the story.
Shark Heart was weird. Hail Mary was fantastic (Rocky is my favorite). Chlorine was meh, I feel maybe I wasn’t smart enough for it.
I don’t think anyone is. I think it’s a sheep thing to act like you understand something that makes zero sense. Of course she hated PHM. I knew that was gonna happen.
i feel like i knew what they were going for with the plot of Chlorine but it just didn’t really land for me. i think it could’ve been better as horror.
Shark Heart was cool with some really beautiful writing but that’s the one i feel like i wasn’t smart enough for 😂 im not really sure what i was supposed to have gained by the end of the story.
The opposite of "discombobulated" is "combobulated" or "organized." 🤣
I'm so desperate for a five star before the end of the year too!
🫣 Your chaotic energy 😅😅
I’m glad I’m not the only one who despises the humor in andy weir’s books 😂 PHM was better than the Martian but still so cringey
OMG thank you, Tori! I thought I was the only one. Thank you
Chlorine 🎉 best book of 2023 🎉
(So I can't find the emoji you wanted but I did watch the whole video) Let me say I am so happy your feelings about Shark Heart because I am not alone. I hate to say but I was like totally disagreeing with Gabby. I love her videos but that one I had to fast forward. So thankful, we had the same feelings for that book. Chlorine, I like but I didn't like the descriptive mention of her periods and there were other things. I loved your video. 🥰
your reaction to chlorine is everything!! i read that book in a day and haven’t stopped thinking about it since🧜♀️🫣
Andy Weir and I are ALSO enemies 😂
I’ve heard such good things about Shark Heart 😭
Literaryussy 😂👏🏻
If you haven't already...Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett will be a 5 star for you hahahaha just a random recommendation ....but seriously im in love and recently kayla loved it sooooo just saying 🫣 Also this video was fun! I'm sorry it was stressful for you but it was definitely entertaining for me haha
Great vlog. 🎁🎄☕📚⛄
I am always so glad to find another PHM hater. Seeing just how loved it was after I finished blew my mind
Still need to finish the video but I am so glad to see someone not loving project hail mary! It did NOT hit for me for so many of the reasons you've said (and a few more -- why were all the experiments described in excruciating detail?!? we do not need replicability in scifi!!). It's nice to hear your perspective to help me figure out what I disliked about it and how I can choose better scifi (for me) in the future.
I read the Martian and I thought it was just fine, and I have PHM on my TBR, but after your review I kinda dont wanna read it 😅
🫣 Whoa.
At first I thought I wanted to read all those books. Now I’m thinking about maybe just Chlorine.
Yuo will love enders game series❤❤❤😊
🫣 Thanks Katie xx
Lol I can't find the right emoji
"Ok, I believe her." - endorsed by Katie Colson. Damn, if I had a booktube channel, our twin test would be INSANE. Also, I wish I had internet when this premiered, but it's raining like hell over here.
DudleyDursleyville lolol
Strange Sally Diamond is SO good. I live Liz Nugent she is an autobuy author all her books are 4.5 stars and above
Edit: oh u don't like it 😂🥺😭 lol
SSD is one of my top 5 books of the year, regardless of reception in booktube I thought it was amazing almost pseudohorror.
@lydscl yes! same! did u know apparently there is an alternate UK ending? I want to know of that's true and how to get my hands on a copy if it is true!!
@erinlchapman61925 there is! I've read the UK version and apparently the US ending is a little softer. I'm going to get my hands on the SuS copy when I go over to the states next year as I'm so intrigued!!
knife to the heart 😭😅
I'm sorry you didn't like PHM, but I'm also happy I'm not the only one. Goooood was it an awful experience. Hated Ryland, hated the plot, hated the humor, hated the cliches.
Girl what do you mean why?!?! 🫣🫣🫣
Project Hail Mary was so damn mediocre and his humor was so - ugh. yeah I agree with you. didn't hate it as much as you but it was so very very mid. Should have dnfd tbh, it didn't get better
Hated project Hail Mary. Dumb.
🙈🙈🙈
Did you get my package?
Do you have blood on the tracks vol 15 because I don’t want you to send you two copies because I already did that once for vol 14 and Assistant to the Villain.
Typical Andy Weir hero. They all read like the same generic "ain't I clever/funny/likeable" dude. Literally, all the same man. There so many books with pretty much the exact same plotline - complete with twists and ending - and did it better! And science fiction is my main jam!
😂❤
Hail Mary was a DNF for me. I found a summary to find out what happened..... I couldn't get through the pages! Boring🤦♀
🫣🫣🫣
Wait, when did you get engaged?
I've been seeing Chlorine everywhere but you've convinced me to read it for the writing🫣
They did in fact not save 2023 🤣
🫣 lol
🤦♀️
Is that an engagement ring?
🫣 🫣
I’m sorry did you say queer mermaids? *runs to Amazon to add to cart*
She has a chin for reading 😂 jkkk
🫣 at least now I know I’m not alone with Andy Weir - hate all is books
🫣🫣🫣 Stop apologizing for not liking well liked books. Just saying. 🫣🫣🫣
"If you're still here... why?"
Because you're a friend :) and it's entertaining to watch. Great video editing.
