Books have become so underrated, which is why I appreciate people like her promoting reading and why reading is really good for improving your intellect and vocabulary.

Fun fact, I never read before Katie McGrath recommended Game of Thrones, I picked the first book up out of curiosity, fucking loved it, and now I'm a writer.
When she retires from acting we’ll find her working in a library. Shame she doesn’t do social media. A podcast of her giving book reviews would be lovely. Oooo going to get A Little Life. I love books that emotionally wreck a person. Like the last line in The Book Thief. “I am haunted by humans.”
it’s a really beautiful book but also you should look up trigger warnings for it before you read it. there’s a lot of them and some people do describe the book as trauma porn because of it
@@chelsjones oh hell thank you. I have it ready at my library (1 of my 3 jobs) and will give it a try tomorrow. It’s over 700 pages I believe so it’s apparently a brick. But it can go 1 of 2 ways-appreciating it because it’s relatable or hating it because it hits too many nerves.
Giving books for free? The best friend to have honestly. Adding to that she also has an amazing character. Whoever has her as a rl friend should feel honesty so blessed.
I am also a reader and give out my books however the only thing that sucks about it is that sometimes the book either comes back dirty or the person never returns the book
Katie must be really smart, like oh my god. I can just imagine her cast mates (past or present) sit in a room or something while Katie gushes over a new book she's reading, that would be so cute though 😭 Back in school, (before the Pandemic even began) I would always bring a book with me and read it whenever I get the chance too. What I wouldn't give to be in a room with Katie and just talk about books with her🤣
I could listen to Katie talk about absolutely anything for ever, I could listen to her read the dictionary. But hearing her talk about something she loves so much, it gives me a warm happy feeling
I almost died when I found out that Katie studied Russian history in college. I live in Russia and I would really like to hear what she has to say about this. I think I would listen to it forever. I also want to note that she has a wonderful taste in books
How did I, a bookworm and a Katie stan, not realize how much she reads? And in so many genres I love?! I need to go back through and write all these books down.
That made me so happy, she's just making me so happy🥺❤️ Also now I wanna read all of her recommendations🥰 I'm also currently listening to the Audiobook "Islands of mercy", narrated by her, and I hope she will do more of this, 'cause her voice is everything and the way she got into all of these characters👌🏽
as someone who has read it I have to agree with KT and say that you do have to be in a have emotionally secure place but do read it, it’s very good (and maybe come back with thoughts…?) 🥰
I honestly love her book recommendations, I’m such a bookworm myself, and I can’t help but think “Katie would like this book” sometimes. I’d be so happy if I could just give her book suggestions 😂😂
If Katie doing Audiobooks is a slippery slope, I'm all for it. We need more of them. I need more of them. (I wonder when that livestream was when Nicole mentioned that... If her first audiobook got published in 2020 somewhen... Hm)
Who said that A BOOKWORM always use glasses??????? I am a READER BAD ASS, a GENIUS WRITER, a DETAIL ARCHITECT, a 3D ENGRAVING COMPUTER ARTIST, but I also have SHARP EYES like an eagle
Well, people who read a lot have more chances of getting myopia since it’s an activity that makes you look at something close. Obviously, not every reader develops it, but it can be a cause.
How to tell you’re a book seller without saying you’re a book seller: I know most of the books she talked about in this video and read none of them. Btw, I love how “A little life” makes everyone have an emotional breakdown.
I heard her say "Daddy Sugerman", so by instinct I wanted to know who that was, and when I searched it up, it kept saying "Are you looking for sugar daddy?". And that's when I remembered she had an accent, and then I realized "oh. she's not saying Daddy, she's saying DANNY."
katie, nonostante interpreti quasi sempre ruoli da cattiva in merlin ed in supergirl, sembri esattamente il contrario buona, allegra, simpatica, affabile ,intelligente e naturalmente bellissima. Brava sei veramente il massimo delle attrici.
I just finished the audiobook of a little life and Katie is definitely telling the truth I have to admit that I didn't cry at the end tho but I haven't cried at all for 4 years now I think and my body seems to have forgotten how crying works... but I had tears in my eyes which for me counts as crying...
A Little Life DESTROYED me. I read it because of Katie and good grief just no. It's beautiful beyond belief but just no. I literally cried for 2 hours. "I try to be kind to everything I see and in everything I see I see him" I stopped reading after that line. I only had a little left, but I guess I should go finish it now.
Okay well clearly we’re destined to at least be friends with our shared obsession with the Romanov dynasty and Russian literature is just really good and I just don’t make the rules, y’all.
OH MY FREAKING GOD!! I HAVE AN OLD ASS VERSION OF THAT BOOK, NICHOLAS AND ALEXANDRA!!!!! I stole it from the old library in my granpas house, it is so old and it was so interesting, so WOW i just grabbed it idk why and now i find my ultimate crush and idol loves that book and started her love for russian history too? whaaaaaaaaaaaat i literally looked it up in google bc i was unsure on the writer, but it is the same book, it is wow, i also remember it being the first book i encountered using "gay" as "happy" and not homosexual, in a part it said smth like "the queen was a small gay woman" or smth like that, and as a sapphic woman myself i was stunned and then learnt she wasn't gay as in homosexual, just gay as in happy and that was the day i discovered gay used to mean happy or cheerful. OMG katie i love you jajaja
It would be so much fun if Julie Gonzalo brought her on vacation to Buenos Aires,Argentina... this is the city that has the most bookstores per capita in the world 🤩
I love these stripped moments of Kate. That mania to sit on his legs, bend his legs. She without makeup. This girl is very special, too bad not knowing I exist.
Finding out she gives people books makes me want meet her even more. And be her friend. I need more books in my life. I want more books in my life. Please. -_-v
this video is basically a bookhaul/reading list and i will not apologize for it ✨
Man she must hate reading the supergirl scripts
I have never laughed so hard!
HAHAHAHAHAHAGA
JAJAJAJAJA
😂 true..I wonder how she always plays the antagonist/villain of the shows
SCREAMING
"according to the internet, I'm the head of Ravenclaw"
Me, a Ravenclaw: YES YOU ARE
Dang, I wanna be a Ravenclaw if she's the head
I whole heartedly concur with this, my fellow raven!
I mean Rowena’s fan cast is just perfect !
I have done multiple tests, and even if I lie I still go to raven claw because when I lie, its not too far off from the truth.
Yessssss OMG! Just today I was guessing who she is and decided that she is Ravenclaw! Being Ravenclaw myself is an honour now!😍😍😍😍😍
Can someone start a petition to get more Audiobooks narrated by her, please
i wholeheartedly concur with this idea!!!!
She did island of mercy!
@@sheuhhenejsjebeb329 I know but we all need and want more 👀😍
YES YES YES!!!
What books does she narrate? 😍

thank you!!
lol I just added all of these to my good reads! I'm not much of a history buff but I have to give it to katie - she has excellent taste!
Fun fact, I never read before Katie McGrath recommended Game of Thrones, I picked the first book up out of curiosity, fucking loved it, and now I'm a writer.
That’s so cool!!!
Awww that's incredible!!!!
Ok but imagine ure Katie's special someone or roommate, like you live with her and she's just reading books to you all the time 🥺😍😍
I NEED A KATIE MCGRATH X READER WITH THISSSSSSSSSS
And giving you books
Ikrrr i would die
Omg she needs to be cast as Rowena Ravenclaw in a Hogwarts Founder movie/show.
Yessss she’s be perfect!

Or writing her own
@@midoriambers7834 oooo I love that idea.
A Little Life will emotionally eviscerate you. Make sure to look up trigger warnings beforehand because it deals with lots of kinds of trauma.

**writing down book names vigorously** WRITE IT DOWN! WRITE IT DOWN!!!
YES. katie singlehandedly doing wonders for the book market ✨
Can you tell me the names?😂🥰🥰
@@mvlinvs_ I believe someone has mentioned all the books in a latest comment, hold up let me tag you there.
I'm sorry I dont know how to stage you there, but it's a 6 months old comment by QUICKLY LIQUID.
The only social media account Katie should have is a goodreads one. I'd love to read in-depth reviews of the books she likes
Katie must be really smart, like oh my god. I can just imagine her cast mates (past or present) sit in a room or something while Katie gushes over a new book she's reading, that would be so cute though 😭
Back in school, (before the Pandemic even began) I would always bring a book with me and read it whenever I get the chance too. What I wouldn't give to be in a room with Katie and just talk about books with her🤣
I'm pretty sure she really is smart! Just the way she talks sounds so smart😂🥰💓
I could listen to Katie talk about absolutely anything for ever, I could listen to her read the dictionary. But hearing her talk about something she loves so much, it gives me a warm happy feeling

Right? Only solidifying the stanning lol
I know that Katie isn’t very good with social media but she should definitely make a book RUclips channel!
I want her to explore my library
same
That definitely sounds dirtier than it should
Best comment
Uhm..👀
Is that what we're calling it now? 😈
That made me so happy, she's just making me so happy🥺❤️ Also now I wanna read all of her recommendations🥰 I'm also currently listening to the Audiobook "Islands of mercy", narrated by her, and I hope she will do more of this, 'cause her voice is everything and the way she got into all of these characters👌🏽
This gives me so much serotonin 🥺😍
This is a sign for me to read a little life, bought it 2 years ago but never actually touch it...
as someone who has read it I have to agree with KT and say that you do have to be in a have emotionally secure place but do read it, it’s very good (and maybe come back with thoughts…?) 🥰
@@demoness4381 Oh damn i have to prepare myself emotionally then 😂 also that book is THICC as hell
@@jm14409 yes please read the trigger warning for the book, it is long and will help you see how much you need to prepare
Be emotionally ready! I'm embarrassed to admit that I cried many times while reading A Little Life
1:00
It makes me so happy that she likes Patrick rothfuss as well🥺❤️😭
same 🥺🖤
And Robin Hobb !! I'm happy I read the same books as her 😭
I honestly love her book recommendations, I’m such a bookworm myself, and I can’t help but think “Katie would like this book” sometimes. I’d be so happy if I could just give her book suggestions 😂😂
Just when I didn't think I could love her more, she's a bookworm as well. I know she's already done an audiobook, but I hope she does more.
0:34 Irish Accent adorable!!!

I mean people who don't need glasses are superior, give us glasses dependent people a least one win 😂
I didnt need reading glasses.... until i read 80% of the hunger games in the dark with a shitty led lantern...
Thats why i need glasses now :)
Lol katie has glasses
just when i thought i couldnt love her more 😭 shes insane
This makes me so happy. Love her
I laughed so hard omg. Great video, great editing! I hope you make more of these video's. :)
She loves Robin Hobb!! I knew I loved her! I have never wanted to be friends with an actor more.
I’ve watched this more times than I can count.
The fact that this has zero dislikes.
I just want to be friends with Katie!

@@PhoenixL0vee oh sry for misunderstanding 😅😆
It's impossible just not to fall in love with this woman
It would be good to make a list of all the books that she has read, the variety is amazing
i love her even more now
I love katie so much it hurts
LMFAOOOOO I DIED AT THE ENDING OMFGG
no fr I almost died, I was drinking tea and I choked and almost died lol
but it was worth it
I could literally listen to Katie talking about books for forever.
Interviewer: tell us something that would surprise fans
Katie: my boobs aren’t real 😂
If she did more audiobooks I’d die
this is wonderful thank you
I could listen to her voice for hours on end
I heard her say "Daddy Sugerman", so by instinct I wanted to know who that was, and when I searched it up, it kept saying "Are you looking for sugar daddy?". And that's when I remembered she had an accent, and then I realized "oh. she's not saying Daddy, she's saying DANNY."
oh to be given a book by katie mcgrath after we discuss books and i spend hours reading it
THE INFOBOX I-
THAT WOULD BE TRULY AMAZING
Im gonna use this video as a book recommendations list 😂
SAME AHSHSJSHAHAHA
Every time I’m in a book slump I’m coming back to this video and it motivates me to pick up a book
This really is my comfort video
katie, nonostante interpreti quasi sempre ruoli da cattiva in merlin ed in supergirl, sembri esattamente il contrario buona, allegra, simpatica, affabile ,intelligente e naturalmente bellissima. Brava sei veramente il massimo delle attrici.
she has no business being straight she's my dream woman
Fr she is the reason I started reading some books 😭💖
That would be so so cool if she has a booktube, I would spent so much time watching the videos and end up with all the books
I love her more than before!
Pleaseeee, make a film about the four founders of Hogwarts. She is Rowena Ravenclaw 💙🇬🇷 🦅
That would be so freaking amazing!
Melissa : she give a book to everyone
Me : I 👉🏻👈🏻 wanna 🥺 be 🧚🏻♀️ friends 🤝
Of course shes a bookworm, cause books are magic and shes all about that!

Katie does online quiz on which Hogwarts House she's in.
Test: "You are the HEAD of Ravenclaw!"
Me: Sounds legit.
I literally bought a little life and it’s so good
gifting books to friends just because? i wanna be her friend!!
We need to make a petition to katie make a Instagram, we need more katie
