It wouldn't be only two books but I would love to see you do this again and let Grace, Gabby and Olivia pick one book ( from each ) that you must read. 😍
I started They Never Learn a few days ago, and I looked it up on Goodreads. I saw that you had a reading vlog. When I finished the book, I HAD to hear you talk about it. So now I'm here. I liked it a lot. Wanted to give it 5 stars, but the student storyline got on my nerves a little bit, and I ended up giving it 4. Otherwise, it's a feminist masterpiece! And the ending was fantastic, omg!
That bathroom cabinet is for laundry 😊 🧺 you put the basket in the bottom part and you can keep the door closed so the hamper isn’t visible in your bathroom (less clutter so it looks neater) when you finish a shower and have a dirty towel you can open the top part above the door to throw your towel in. When it’s time to do laundry you open the door to take the hamper out
I think I preferred this coming in 2 parts rather than in one really long part! It feels like getting more content even though it adds up to the same length haha. Also really enjoyed seeing around the apartments!
I loved “They Never Learn!” Also you completely convinced me to try Ace of Spades in the first vlog ASAP. This was so fun. Good luck with apartment hunting. 😊
It may sound strange but the confusion is part of the reading experience with both Gideon the Ninth and also the sequel Harrow the Ninth. Having Gideon, a character who doesn't care about the lore and mysteries of the world, be the POV character of the first book and not having great amounts of exposition to compentate that was a consious choice by Tamsyn Muir. Now the world building happens by experiencing the plot with these characters. And I do love most of the characters. So for me being confused didn't affect my reading experience because in this book and in the sequel I personally was rewarded in small ways and big ways for sticking with the books and making some connections in the plot and worldbulding that are never said directly.
You are looking for the word Dumbwaiter. The bottom cabinets in the bathroom are for your trashcan. Put it in the bottom one and use the lift top to drop things in. Keeps it out of sight for visiters. Love this place
I started watching your videos about 1 month ago and already have binge watched every single one!! I adore your energy and can’t wait for more videos (especially vlogs 😁) Love from an avid 17year old Australian reader
Does that bathroom cupboard that opens up have to base in it? Might be for a laundry hamper to go in the cupboard below and you lift that cupboard door to put your clothes in?
Every apartment I’ve ever had has required a 30 day notice to move out even if it’s the end of the lease, and they’ve prorated the rent for the last few days so your lease ends the day you want it to. You should ask if they can work with you like that!
Two parts is great! It’s called a dumb waiter. That little floppy door is for you to toss your dirty clothes into, with a basket in the space below. That’s a nice apartment! You should go for it. The housing market everywhere is insane. How did I not know Grace has a kid? She’s such a delightful person. And she can cook! I couldn’t finish Gideon either. No such thing as “too big an apartment.” But yeah you need to be close to Grace.
Ask if your apartment will let you prorate that extra week! - I didn’t know it existed until I was trying to explain I needed a couple more days before I was able to move and they offered it like it’s a common occurrence. Then you’re just paying for what you need :-)
I loved this! Can't wait to pick up They Never Learn. Also, love the apartment hunting content. I know it's a stressful time, but you will pick the one that's right for you. Go with your gut!!!
I read they never learn a while ago and I finished in a few hours I loved it so much I think because I was reading it physically I was able connect the dots pretty early on but the plot twist still managed to take me by surprise it was so good and you're right I've seen people give it low ratings because of the ending and the main character being a murderer but like the premise was clear if it's not something you agree with why read and lastly YES I DO WANT A 2 HOURS VLOG during my exams week last semester I used to watch your videos every morning because they ease my anxiety a little bit and cheer me up i love your energy katie thanks for doing what you're doing ❤️
Omggggg I love this comment so much. Like, you win for comments. I am an ESTJ. I was ENTJ for most my life but in the last five years it has switched to ESTJ
i totally agree with being confused for gideon, i couldn't finish the book because i felt so dumb for so long! i felt like it was my fault because it was recommended to me by so many people but from looking it up online, a lot of people were confused so we're not like, THAT dumb
I have started GTN a grand total of four times and it’s like, I like it, I’m having fun, but it’s so confusing and if I put it down for any length of time I have 0 retention for what I’ve read of it. I’m glad that I’m not the only one who was having trouble following it.
Here’s a idea for you a 🛌 over with some of your best book friends once this pandemic 😷 is over have snacks and movies 🍿 and some the best books 📚 on your bookshelf and make sure you film it your friends on RUclips
I love the 40 min/long vlogs! Your energy is so positive that I could watch your thoughts on books all day ❤️☺️ also sorry to hear about the insurance company being asshats. I hope they come around soon.
I would love to see Olivia, your mom, or maybe like an instagram poll so the people get to pick your books. I also didn't have a problem with the way the vlog had two parts and they both released in the same week. I like longer videos, I love having your videos and olivia's videos come out on the same day ❤️❤️❤️ you QUEENS
Picked up Ace of Spades yesterday. I went to Barnes and Noble the book was sold out. I went 2 towns over from where I live to Tatnuck Booksellers they only had 2 copies left.I purchased a copy. This book is really selling. I'm going to start reading it tonight hope it lives up to the hype.
I absolutely loved They Never Learn and I’m so glad you read it too! Also same.... I didnt see that plot twist either. I thought of everything but that lol
I say the same thing when people speed by! 🤣 My last job as a nurse was a telephonic case manager and it made me hate insurance companies more than I already did. I’m sorry they’re giving you a hard time and I hope everything has been figured out by now! I felt like you needed a vest and some wide leg trousers to finish off your hat…maybe some suspenders… I HATE apartment hunting. That would be awesome if you could live in Grace’s apartment complex! Maybe something will pop up sooner!
Okay, 1: I'm also allergic to cats! 2: I don't know if they do it in your state but the Walmart in Texas has like over the counter insulin (My spouse also has to fight their insurance for insulin and they use the walmart one as an emergency. 3: Apartment hunting is the WORST! Good luck ❤️ 4: I'm sorry your manager doesn't understand service... 5: You are awesome! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh I am currently also going through the "y'all need to give me the insulin I need to EXIST and LIVE" dance. If you need something in the interim, WalMart sells older types of insulin OTC, no prescription needed, for like $25 a vial.
Giiiirl apartment hunting is so stressful!!! Best of luck and I hope you find the perfect place! With a washing machine please! DID YOU GET INSULIN??? I can't believe you left us hanging Katie come on!!! Anywaaay I've been in a reading slump for weeks and now I feel like I need to read Ace of Spades and They Never Learn asap so thaaanks! Oh btw I don't mind super long vlogs or vlogs cut in half, do whichever works best for you! Oh oh! Editing bc I forgot but OliviaPicksaLatteandaBook ofc! Also Grace again bc she killed it!
I think Kayla from booksandlala should pick a book for you! I didn't get to write out an emoji at the end of this video. You're slippin'! LOL Awesome vlog! I hope you're able to find a place near Grace....
I think that drawer that you asked: someone explain this to me, is a laundry thing. Like, you toss your dirty shit through the top one and retrieve it from the bottom?? Otherwise, I have NO idea.
I would say choose a booktuber based on their love of certain genres. Like, gabby for thriller, horror or romance. Choose your favorite booktuber who loves fantasy and so on. I think that would be really cool!
They Never Learn is 100% five stars. IT'S SO GOOD AND THE ENDING IS CHEFS KISS. Now you have to read Layne Fargo's debut album "Temper" which is also amazing and the ending is O___O
You need to ask your current apartment if you can just pay pro-rated rent for 4 extra days. And that weird cabinet in the bathroom is for dirty clothes.
the bathroom cabinet situation explained: it’s a hamper cabinet so you can toss your clothes on the pull up cabinet and then the bottom hold the hamper basket to the bottom cabinet is easy access to the laundry basket!
I started reading Ace of Spades because of you and I’m intrigued, I’m liking it, I think its going to be a 3 or 4 five stars. Not too excited for it a the moment but WE WILL SEE. I find Devon’s chapters a bit boring and I’m around chapter 15, also I’m listening to the audiobook only so… that must be 👁👄👁 - They never learn was a 4 starts for me, the plot twist 👌🏼
Katie: 2 hr vlog is too long. Me: "the limit does not exist!" I do enjoy the 2 parts, but only cuz it means more pockets of Katie energy in my week :) not because they're too long!
It wouldn't be only two books but I would love to see you do this again and let Grace, Gabby and Olivia pick one book ( from each ) that you must read. 😍
Omg that is such a good idea! Thank you
*laughs five times watching the first three minutes* I love Katie’s personality omg she’d be so fun to be around🤣
I could literally watch anything you post for any Vlog length lol 😂
I also agree. When I listened to Gideon the Ninth I was literally just along for the ride 👍🏻
Wow that apartment is so nice!!! 😍 really huge bathroom with so much space and a walk in closet wow! That is the apartment dreams are made of haha
Right?!! I am so hoping they except my application cause they’re prices go up every day cause the housing market in Atlanta is my rocketing
I typically don’t like reading vlogs at all but yours brings so much joy to me.
Aw thank you so much! That is such a special compliment and it made my day
I think that empty cabinet is for the laundry hamper lift of small door to put laundry in open big door to remove hamper
Restaurant biz especially serving is just wild. I do but don’t miss it
I need to get out. For real for real
I started They Never Learn a few days ago, and I looked it up on Goodreads. I saw that you had a reading vlog.

We love less clutter. Thank you!
I think I preferred this coming in 2 parts rather than in one really long part! It feels like getting more content even though it adds up to the same length haha. Also really enjoyed seeing around the apartments!
Thank you! That's what I was thinking. Glad to hear it.
Come on Kaiser give Katie her medicine. I am actually praying that they wake up and stop jerking you around because this is serious.
I loved “They Never Learn!” Also you completely convinced me to try Ace of Spades in the first vlog ASAP. This was so fun. Good luck with apartment hunting. 😊
Oh yes they are both so so so good!! Hope you love Ace of Spades
The ending of They Never Learn was chefs kiss!
I LOVED the ending of They Never Learn!!! It was perfection 💜
Me too! Layne Fargo gave that gift to us and we’re honored
I cracked up so much at the Zoolander reference at the 9:50ish mark!
I love listening to you, so Bring it!!!!!! I am soooooooo sad when I don"t see you! I love seeing Grace with you also! You are very entertaining!!!
Aw thank you very much. I’ll let Grace know, ha
They Never Learn was so good! omg BEST LAST LINE OF A BOOK EVER!!!
OMG I LOVE that you included the apartment tour on here! Obsessed!
I think Lexi or Olivia would both give you great book recs. I think it would be funny to see what books your sweet dad would choose for you though. :)
It may sound strange but the confusion is part of the reading experience with both Gideon the Ninth and also the sequel Harrow the Ninth.

I would love to see Gabby pick your reads!!!
Oh YES! I love that!
I love Gideon and Harrow the Ninth, but I do agree you just have to accept that it is very confusing. But I'm so excited for Nona the Ninth!!
Omg thank you Katie!! Just got home from work and this is exactly what I need❤️✨
🖤🖤🖤
Is the weird door in the bathroom for the laundry? Like a built in hamper?
I think so. But it is so strange? Like it’s heavy and creaks, ha
Secondhand stress for your apartment hunting journey but I'm sure it will fall into place!
Thank you for this. Taking in all your good vibes.
You talk so much about your favorite book tubers and I talk so much about you because you’re my favorite booktuber 😀❤️
Your personality is just THE BEST!!!!
Aw, thank you, Sarah!!! 🙌🥰💖
You are looking for the word Dumbwaiter. The bottom cabinets in the bathroom are for your trashcan. Put it in the bottom one and use the lift top to drop things in. Keeps it out of sight for visiters. Love this place
2 hour long vlogs of Katie …? 💥💳💥💳💥💳💥
I started watching your videos about 1 month ago and already have binge watched every single one!!
I adore your energy and can’t wait for more videos (especially vlogs 😁)
Love from an avid 17year old Australian reader
"The panorama" 🤣❣
😂😂
Does that bathroom cupboard that opens up have to base in it? Might be for a laundry hamper to go in the cupboard below and you lift that cupboard door to put your clothes in?
Do all the things, we will watch. ❤️
Every apartment I’ve ever had has required a 30 day notice to move out even if it’s the end of the lease, and they’ve prorated the rent for the last few days so your lease ends the day you want it to. You should ask if they can work with you like that!
Wow, I didn't even think about that. Thank you for the advice.
Two parts is great! It’s called a dumb waiter. That little floppy door is for you to toss your dirty clothes into, with a basket in the space below. That’s a nice apartment! You should go for it. The housing market everywhere is insane. How did I not know Grace has a kid? She’s such a delightful person. And she can cook! I couldn’t finish Gideon either. No such thing as “too big an apartment.” But yeah you need to be close to Grace.
Thank you! I totally agree with everything you said.
I can't believe I was saying dumb bell instead of dumb waiter. Geeeeez Katie 🤦🏻♀️ ha
Where do you get your horror and vintagey retro style shirts from? Ahhh how amazing would it be to live closer to Grace?! I hope that can happen!
YES FOR 2-HOUR LONG VLOGS!!!
A lot of the decor in that apartment is from Dollar Tree which is totally cool to see. (I work there).
Thanks for taking us along with you going apartment hunting! FUN🎉
I absolutely loved They never learn. I need a hard copy because it's a favorite for sure now.
Exactly! I know I will reread it in the future.
That apartment is gorgeous!!
I agree! I am so hoping I get one like this but everything is booked up right now
Ask if your apartment will let you prorate that extra week! - I didn’t know it existed until I was trying to explain I needed a couple more days before I was able to move and they offered it like it’s a common occurrence. Then you’re just paying for what you need :-)
Thank you so much. I didn't think about that at all!
I loved this! Can't wait to pick up They Never Learn. Also, love the apartment hunting content. I know it's a stressful time, but you will pick the one that's right for you. Go with your gut!!!
the hinged door in the bathroom is for dirty laundry. You put a basket in the cupboard below.
Me at 32:30- Just move in Grace’s complex, Katie! 😩😩😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I want to so bad! I'm hoping
Ahhh loved this part 2!! You really made me want to read They Never Learn it sounds so good 😊 I hope you find an appartement soon ❤️
I read they never learn a while ago and I finished in a few hours I loved it so much I think because I was reading it physically I was able connect the dots pretty early on but the plot twist still managed to take me by surprise it was so good and you're right I've seen people give it low ratings because of the ending and the main character being a murderer but like the premise was clear if it's not something you agree with why read and lastly YES I DO WANT A 2 HOURS VLOG during my exams week last semester I used to watch your videos every morning because they ease my anxiety a little bit and cheer me up i love your energy katie thanks for doing what you're doing ❤️
Good luck apartment hunting
I've read they never learn and I loved it!! Such a great ending for sure😍
Glad you liked it! I loved the ending so much
I absolutely loved They Never Learn and I feel like it could become a series with that ending 😩
As a man, I really like the ending of They Never Learn
Yes, Justin! I loved it. I was surprised and grateful that she wrote that
you remind me so much of Lorelai Gilmore from Gilmore Girls!! You’re either an ENFP or ESFP right? love you and your videos so much they give me life
Omggggg I love this comment so much. Like, you win for comments. I am an ESTJ. I was ENTJ for most my life but in the last five years it has switched to ESTJ
i totally agree with being confused for gideon, i couldn't finish the book because i felt so dumb for so long! i felt like it was my fault because it was recommended to me by so many people but from looking it up online, a lot of people were confused so we're not like, THAT dumb
Thank you! Exactly how I felt. I was like “are people really out here just *GETTING* this??”
I have started GTN a grand total of four times and it’s like, I like it, I’m having fun, but it’s so confusing and if I put it down for any length of time I have 0 retention for what I’ve read of it. I’m glad that I’m not the only one who was having trouble following it.
I feel the exact same way. Glad to know I'm not alone.
Here’s a idea for you a 🛌 over with some of your best book friends once this pandemic 😷 is over have snacks and movies 🍿 and some the best books 📚 on your bookshelf and make sure you film it your friends on RUclips
Loved the two parts! Loved the apartment hunting! Loved you in green!! You are a boss at vlogs! Hope you got your insulin :( Sending lots of love!
I love the 40 min/long vlogs! Your energy is so positive that I could watch your thoughts on books all day ❤️☺️ also sorry to hear about the insurance company being asshats. I hope they come around soon.
Maybe that strange cupboard in the bathroom is to put a laundry hamper in and drop from the top?
Yeah I think you’re right
Love this video!!!
I would love to see Olivia, your mom, or maybe like an instagram poll so the people get to pick your books. I also didn't have a problem with the way the vlog had two parts and they both released in the same week.

I absolutely loved They Never Learn and I’m so glad you read it too! Also same.... I didnt see that plot twist either. I thought of everything but that lol
But you get so excited and into the books so I'd watch any length of your video
And yes 👏🏾 start doing 2hour book vlogs
Since I have 8 pets,even though I have zero carpets in my house,I actually own and daily use 2 different vacuums 🤣
I say the same thing when people speed by! 🤣
My last job as a nurse was a telephonic case manager and it made me hate insurance companies more than I already did. I’m sorry they’re giving you a hard time and I hope everything has been figured out by now!
I felt like you needed a vest and some wide leg trousers to finish off your hat…maybe some suspenders…
I HATE apartment hunting. That would be awesome if you could live in Grace’s apartment complex! Maybe something will pop up sooner!
I had a very similar experience with Gideon. Still undecided if I should continue...
I hate it cause there are so many amazing parts but they are not strung together cohesively. So, it doesn't feel worth it.
Apartment was cute for one person
I agree! I am so hoping I get one. They are all booked up right now
I totally understand your opinion over Gideon the ninth and harrow the ninth! They are very confusing and take a lot of effort! (Still love them tho😋)
Okay, 1: I'm also allergic to cats!
2: I don't know if they do it in your state but the Walmart in Texas has like over the counter insulin (My spouse also has to fight their insurance for insulin and they use the walmart one as an emergency.
3: Apartment hunting is the WORST! Good luck ❤️
4: I'm sorry your manager doesn't understand service...
5: You are awesome! ❤️❤️❤️
I will watch any length videos from you tbh
Oh I am currently also going through the "y'all need to give me the insulin I need to EXIST and LIVE" dance. If you need something in the interim, WalMart sells older types of insulin OTC, no prescription needed, for like $25 a vial.
For real?! I had heard about that but thought it wasn’t true. Thanks for telling me
Cute apt tour 🌴 we adore the tree shade ;-) Happy Bookish Thursday Friends
Giiiirl apartment hunting is so stressful!!! Best of luck and I hope you find the perfect place! With a washing machine please!
DID YOU GET INSULIN??? I can't believe you left us hanging Katie come on!!!
Anywaaay I've been in a reading slump for weeks and now I feel like I need to read Ace of Spades and They Never Learn asap so thaaanks!
Oh btw I don't mind super long vlogs or vlogs cut in half, do whichever works best for you!
Oh oh! Editing bc I forgot but OliviaPicksaLatteandaBook ofc! Also Grace again bc she killed it!
I LOVED They Never Learn.. that ending is 🔥🔥
YOUR SO ADORABLE
Gideon is 100% too complex to enjoy and I was so confused and annoyed the whole time 🤣 I almost DNF’d and just skimmed it and gave it 2 stars YIKES
Also the apartment hunting OMG IM DEAD the spaccceee in that place! So much storage, but what the hell is with that fake grass on the porch 👀😂
I love these types of videos! You should get the two girls that you mentioned you work with that are also big book lovers to do the next one!
Layne Fargo books make me so happy
I think Kayla from booksandlala should pick a book for you! I didn't get to write out an emoji at the end of this video. You're slippin'! LOL Awesome vlog! I hope you're able to find a place near Grace....
Or StarlahReads should pick for you!
I think that drawer that you asked: someone explain this to me, is a laundry thing. Like, you toss your dirty shit through the top one and retrieve it from the bottom?? Otherwise, I have NO idea.
Omg I laughed so hard when u open that fridge my partner was like what's so funny
It's like plot twist
*Opens Strange bathroom cupboard* “why does this exist” 🤣
"full offense" 😂😂
Ha! Exactly
I would say choose a booktuber based on their love of certain genres. Like, gabby for thriller, horror or romance. Choose your favorite booktuber who loves fantasy and so on. I think that would be really cool!
They Never Learn is 100% five stars. IT'S SO GOOD AND THE ENDING IS CHEFS KISS. Now you have to read Layne Fargo's debut album "Temper" which is also amazing and the ending is O___O
I didn't think about going into her backlist. Yes! Can't wait.
I'd love to see Grace's daughter pick out books for you to read. I had my 7 year old niece do that, and it was a blast!
Is this an apartment for ants 🐜? Haha love it! I definitely Lol out loud 😂🤣. Love your videos 🥰
😂
I just bought Lair of Dreams and cannot wait to continue this series!!!
You need to ask your current apartment if you can just pay pro-rated rent for 4 extra days.
And that weird cabinet in the bathroom is for dirty clothes.
What about Olivia and Gabby for book choices or you would do a poll and let your subscribers pick.🙂
That cabinet in the bathroom is for your dirty laundry .
Thank you. I didn’t think about that
the bathroom cabinet situation explained: it’s a hamper cabinet so you can toss your clothes on the pull up cabinet and then the bottom hold the hamper basket to the bottom cabinet is easy access to the laundry basket!
wow was that even english lmaooo you get the overall concept
Something about “they never learn” was just not a 5 for me. Something…. But idk what. Banger of a 4, for sure.
I started reading Ace of Spades because of you and I’m intrigued, I’m liking it, I think its going to be a 3 or 4 five stars. Not too excited for it a the moment but WE WILL SEE. I find Devon’s chapters a bit boring and I’m around chapter 15, also I’m listening to the audiobook only so… that must be 👁👄👁 - They never learn was a 4 starts for me, the plot twist 👌🏼
They Never Learn was a 5 star read for me!
Katie: 2 hr vlog is too long.
Me: "the limit does not exist!"
I do enjoy the 2 parts, but only cuz it means more pockets of Katie energy in my week :) not because they're too long!
You put your laundry basket and toss the laundry in
Yeah I definitely think you’re right
I live for the apartment hunting
Come live in the UK. I have a spare bedroom and you wouldn't have to pay for your insulin 💜
