Those gorgeous earrings make a video appearance 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 love this video and your enthusiasm Kat!

Ooh I am definitely gonna check out Long Way Down after this. My favourite read of 2018 was The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. It had such great bisexual rep and the main character is deeply flawed but you still want to root for her and relate to her. Even if Evelyn is a fictional Hollywood actress from the 50s she felt like a real person to me and her journey was engaging and emotional.

I finished Radio Silence two days ago and I swear I am so happy that you talked so much about it because it is now one of my favorite books of all time. I swear I’m not coming for your brand or anything lol 😂 but everything about this book is so me and it was so triggering and so perfect and it made me cry BUCKETS. Now I just really need to hug you tight and say thank you a million times because if it weren’t for you I would not have read it and boy... it really impacted me so much and I’ll be forever grateful ♥️

ikr? a real wild card

i completely understand how reading books at the right time can make all the difference! one of my favorite books of the year was wanderlost, because it dealt with a girl who was about to enter college and is stressed about what she wants to do with her life, when it seems like everyone around her already knows what they’re doing. there’s a lot more of the book that related to my life too, and i know it’s not the best written book in the world, but i’m so grateful i read it since it came to me at exactly the right time :)

Radio Silence was the last book I finished in 2018 and I’m so grateful for your recommendation. I’ve just finished my second year of a university degree that I’m not so sure I want to complete. I often wish I was as confident in my goals for the future as some of my friends are, but I now realise that other people can and do feel as torn as I do. I still haven’t decided what I’m going to do this year but I know that I can change my mind as many times as I need to. I will however always strive to put my wellbeing first.

Burial Rites by Hannah Kent, which follows the life of the only Icelandic woman ever executed for murder. You can truly see and feel the way of life in Iceland at the time, and the things the characters go through are heartbreaking and gripping. I really loved it.

I love that bookl Great rec :')

For me, my best book of 2018 would be The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. I had a long reading slump last year bcs so many things happened, all at once, I ended up dnf-ing all books I'd been reading. Now TSoA wasn't the book that got me out of reading slump though. It just made its way to the list and stay on top for a long time. I love the characters so much. All the good and the bad ones. They stay with me for a very long time. The writing is great. So did the pace (except for the part when they went to Troy, it gets a bit slow and somehow hectic, but anyway..). The development of the relationship between Patroclus and Achilles is just sooo good. And when it finally ended I just couldn't take it. I want it to be longer. The book breaks my heart and I will never forget how impactful it is. I'm also planning to reread my fave book this year! And girl, I better read Radio Silence asap.

This video added two years to my life; one life because this is the validation I needed to start the Diviners and one life for you being the reason I read Radio Silence this year and.... Lik Dis If U Cry Evertim? Happy New Year, Kat! 💖xx

I just got Radio Silence poster to my house on Monday because I watched her Worst videos of 2018 where a lot of comments mention Radio Silence. I stopped watching when she got to Number 1 because I don’t want spoilers! At least now I know to be excited for it! I’m near the end of something else and I thought Autoboyography would be next on the list (bought it because of the Worst video too) but I guess that’s out the window! Lol

So... I should probably read Radio Silence? hahah I also always try to make everyone in my family read a book I love, but mostly... it doesn't work.

My favourite book of 2018 was Alice Oseman's I was Born for this. The main character, Angel, literally was me. Like you said with radio Silence, it felt like she wrote that character for me. It was crazy. It was so heart warming and honestly I was so scared at times for the characters. It broke my heart and almost made me cry (which has never happened so far when reading) but like I am beyond in love with it. Like, I cannot explain how good it was. Alice Oseman is so talented and Angel and Jimmy (the main characters) were the best thing ever. Like it was just so f*cking great!

My favorite book that I read in 2018 is The Raven Boys! I absolutely love the writing, and it seems like there's a lot of foreshadowing happening, probably even more than I realize, and I like thinking about the world and characters to try to figure out what might happen but also to understand the characters fully/more. I marked up my book so much! It was like passage after passage of information that was important or just written so well, beautifully, or interestingly. I love all the characters and am looking forward to getting to know them better and see where their quest takes them. (I'm currently in the middle of The Dream Thieves.) I also have so many questions and theories! I actually recorded a 3 part discussion about the book but I have to edit it even though I filmed the videos in like November. Honestly, this is barely an explanation; I just love it all so much! Also, though, 2018 was not a reading year for me, so this is one of the few books that stands out. I also really liked The Secret History and I started The Dream Thieves in 2018, but haven't finished it yet. There were other books I read that I liked and enjoyed and think are important in ways, but I still was disappointed in some way or just not fully into the characters.

Honestly I can’t begin to describe my feelings towards my favourite books of the year. Whenever I think about them I get choked up with how much I love them. I can’t choose between these two books so I’m going to have to talk about them both: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - This is on a lot of people’s lists and I have to agree with them. Firstly, I adore the way Taylor Jenkins Reid was able to create such an enthralling and mysterious tale that held my attention the whole way through. I have DNFed a lot of books this year just because I wasn’t captivated quick enough, but the moment I picked this up I couldn’t stop reading. Evelyn is the most ambitious and complex person I’ve ever read about. The most raw and real character to the point I convinced myself she was real. I just felt so understood and seen by this book and it’s the bisexual book of my dreams, I’m not sure I’ll ever read a book about a character I love as much as Evelyn. I think my reading experience also made it that much more special. I spent the entire day on holiday in France listening to the audiobook, painting and using my tears to dilute my watercolours (not actually but pretty much). My next favourite book of this year is Ivy Aberdeen’s Letter to the World - Although its a favourite this year, I wish this book existed when I was younger. I went into this book thinking it would be a wholesome book about Ivy discovering she likes girls and that would be that. But my god did this book punch me in the gut. I just related to it so much and really wish that I could have given this book to my younger confused self and told her that everything will be alright. I really appreciate authors like Ashley Herring Blake writing middle grade books about lgbtq+ characters because I think it’s the age range that needs them the most to show that it’s okay and normal. Yes I also sobbed reading this book. Basically my favourite books ripped my heart out. I’m definitely going to be reading Radio Silence this year, sounds like it’s going to break my heart in the best of ways.

i love that you always have short favorites because all of your faves are ACTUALLY your faves like in a lot of videos when describing some books, this disclaimer of "this isn't my favorite but it was still pretty good" is given and it DRIVES ME BONKERSSSSSSS but here's hoping you read more amazing books in 2019 that will make your faves list

Radio Silence was my favorite book of the year and my favorite book of all time. I read this book because you are my favorite booktubet and you literally would not shut up about this book. radio silence saved my life. i don’t know how to articulate how much Aled and Frances mean to me and how there strictly platonic relationship touched me. Aleds struggle with depression and despair at not knowing what to do with his life made me consider things i hadn’t even thought of options. i needed this book and i love you kat for guiding me to what i needed and what i still love and cherish months later i love you i love alice oseman and i love radio silence ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❣️💕

Yay, another Kat upload! I needed some wholesome and lovely content in my life! I didn't do a lot of reading last year. Just wasn't in the right headspace and the books I did read were often a letdown. I have a copy of Radio Silence though and I'm gonna indulge before your review of it!!

I love that you don't try to force the ten, and just stick to the actual number of books that you loved in 2018. Currently on the holds list at my library for "Long Way Down" - so excited to get slapped!

I'M SO HAPPY TO BE WATCHING THIS VIDEO!! Thank you, you're like a hot cup of tea after a long day

Radio Silence and The Diviners sound really good! I'm putting them on my TBR list :)

Okay apart from Radio Silence ( because holy shit that book killed me),i really enjoyed If We Were Villains. It was the first book in a while that got be actively thinking about it for days, and theorizing what would happen. Also i didnt find it predictable at all which was a bonus ( bearing in mind i havent read the Secret History yet, which i heard it similar)

I love the 2018 kat and her energy 🌼

YAAAS SO READY FOR RADIO SILENCE REVIEW! 😍 Hoping you get to read more 5 star books this year ✌ Looove your videos! Off topic but you look EXTREMELY GOOD

A Conjuring of Light was one of the best books I read in 2018 as well 😩👌🏽 I'm so happy you enjoyed it !

I just noticed the AFTG books in the background, one of my favorite series!

yes the last line of long way down was such a slap in the face i also read radio silence in april (2016) and i'm rereading it this year in april i love it so much it's my fave contemporary and seeing you gushing about it this year has made me so happy. i read it having a crisis about the future too and it's literally so soothing

I read radio silence btc of you, and ugh i loved it beyond words! i adore your videos to pieces, i hope you have an amazing year!! thank you for always inspiring me to read more & more. love youUuUuuuUuUu

"next up is the dog" 😂😂 I go through my friend groups and bully them into reading

I adored The Diviners series! I just read the three that are released physically in October... But plan on re-reading via audiobook soon. 💕 Also loved ADSoM series. I'll have to check out the other two on your list.

The couple in Lair of dreams who fake date are my otp in that series (they're also my fav characters of the series, I like the rest but those two own my heart) and I love them so much, I read the 3 books on january and I didn't have a new otp for a long time and when I read about them I was like!!!!! YES, YES, THANK YOU. I mean, I like the other aspects of the book, like the diversity, and the social commentary that is done about those times that sadly reflects in our current times, but that ship makes me go heart eyes every time i think about them.

3 out of the 4 books you mentioned I’ve read and absolutely loved. I haven’t read long way down yet but I plan on reading it and I can’t wait to read it

the wayward children series and radio silence were genuinely my tow books of the year because i just felt so heard and related to in them so thank you for introducing them to me because they have changed my life

Just found you channel. Love it. Contagious excitement!

Daughter of smoke and bone trilogy made my 2018. Being kind of my gateway to ya fantasy combined with Laini's beautiful writing made this trilogy a reallyyy enjoyable experience for me Also I loooved Hank's an absolutely remarkable thing! The whole social media aspect was unlike anything i've read before and i totally loved it. Planning to read radio silence in march (bc finals next month and i'm kinda restraining myself from picking it up rn and also i want it to be my first book of 2019) so yeah i'm really excited to read it!

I finally got a chance to pick up Radio Silence, and I can hardly put it down! I most definitely relate to Frances, and can’t wait to finish it. I’ll definitely check out some other books you mentioned I always love watching your videos keep up the great work❤️

The Diviners, oooo boy! Not only are they just amazing books plot wise, but Ling may be my most favourite character of all time. I’m a queer, wheelchair user, and I so rarely see either of those identities represented, let alone together! Reading about her was so lovely and validating. And I’m also a science girl, so I literally think Libba Bray wrote me🤔 also The Darker Shade Of Magic Series, Radio Silence (recommended by you), We Are The Ants, and Six Of Crows/Crooked Kingdom and The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo were all major favs!

Next is the dog. 😂 definitely been hearing you talk about radio silence since April. Think I’m finally going to read it soon.

Those earrings and that shirt together, gurl. Amaziiing! ⭐😍

I currently own all of the darker shade of magic trilogy and the first book of the dividers and I’ve been in a reading slump for like 2 months now, I’m thinking I’ll start adsom to get started this year! Thanks for the review!

I read Radio Silence because of your Pride Book Tag in June and I didn't know how much I needed it until I read it and it helped me so much. I can't describe what it means to me, thank you for introducing it to me

I love The Diviners and Lair of Dreams!! I can't wait to read the third one but I have to wait for it to be in paperback because I'm just that person...

hi i just wanted to say you're the reason i finally read radio silence even though i was reluctant to read it for some reason, probably because i thought i wouldn't like it as it didn't have any romance, but I ABSOLUTELY ADORED IT AND IT IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BOOKS EVER!!!!! and for that i have to thank you because if you hadn't fangirled about it so much i probably never would have bothered with it

I read Radio Silence and The Diviners because of you and they were 5 and 4 stars so THANK YOUUUU. My favorite books of the year was a Norwegian fantasy trilogy called Ravneringene (The Raven Rings?) about a world where people have tales, but the main character Hirka was born without one and that creates some problems. It sounds like a typical YA-book about a “different teenage girl uwu” but it is honestly so much more. Also I am not the one for romance, but the romance between the Hirka and the love interest Rime made me so fucking happy and warm inside. What I liked about it most was how they didn’t follow each other’s steps blindly and actually discussed things in a healthy manner (as healthy as it gets when there is war going on) AAAAHHHHH I could gush about them 4ever❤️❤️ Anyways, amazing video as always, not surprised about Radio Silence tho😂

love love love the diviners! that fake dating couple in book 2 was the beeeeest. also i guess i need to read radio silence this year or something. my favorite book in 2018 was neverworld wake by marisha pessl because it blew my mind and was also just one of the smartest books i've ever read. can't wait for your least faves video! :)

I would definitely recommend Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng. It's a wonderful book with a poignant story and some lovely characters.

My favorite book of the year was six of crows bc it was one of the only ones I managed to get through lol. My school/starting college/being alive life got so crazy that it got really hard to sit down and read so being able to like. Actually get through a whole book meant I really liked it. It just made me happy and I related to a lot of the characters on really personal levels. Radio silence is staring at me from my book shelf and now that you’ve recommended it so highly multiple times I don’t think I can ignore it anymore

The Diviners series really surprised me! I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Dying for the next one.

the shades of magic books were also my faves this year! I read it thanks to your review so tysm

Instantly went and read the book (Long way down) like I didn't even finish this video and you were so right! This book is awesome! Now I understand what you meant with this last sentence hitting you.

Yessss!! I live for your uploads

Also I tried finding Radio Silence but I can't find it in my country :(

Six of Crows is my fave this year. I've read it twice since January, which is not normal for me. It just sucked me in and hasnt' let go since. I can't explain it. I can't articulate it. I just love that series with my whole heart.

Andksjjsjs hearing you talk about Radio Silence was so relatable.... I remember watching a video of yours where you mention radio silence in your tbr or something?? And i got so intrigued I read it immediately (that never happens btw no matter how much a book sounds interesting I never pick it up right away? Or ever tbh) AND YEAH I read it exactly at the right time my god (it was senior year, you know how it is decisions decisions ) IT LEFT ME SO EMOTIONAL I remember crying when Francis went to do the interviews or whatever because I was just so freaked out and scared about the future and I just// I still can’t talk about it properly So yeah thank you for talking about radio silence and recommending it, this book really helped a lot and put my heart at ease!!! I would definitely love to reread it too sometime this year...... ❤️❤️❤️ (Hope this comment makes sense)

Giiiiirl your hair is SO pretty oh my god

HATE radio silence. My 1star review on it from 2(?) years ago is, ironically enough, my most liked review on goodreads. YOUR content on the other hand: 5star rating easily.

BTW I did read Radio Silence this year and it was one of my favourite books of the year. Even though it's not my number one book of the year, I loved it! I'm really happy you pushed it in all of us so much and I read it. Thank you! And TBH I loved it for all the same reasons you loved it (mostly). :)

My favorite book of the year was Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. Made me cry (like, a lot) and I almost never cry over books

Ok I have long way down and i wasnt sure about reading it physically and I was considering listening to the audiobook for *insert reasons Kat mentioned with know when to pause, etc* but I was unsure so now that you've recommended it, will definitely check it out.

OKAY so you’ve just convinced me to get to Lair of Dreams ASAP. I liked the Diviners, but didn’t feel compelled to immediately pick up the sequel, until now. I have a physical copy of Long Way Down, but the audiobook isn’t on Scribd, so I’ll just have to read it physically I guess. I’m excited af, though! Ahh, Radio Silence. What a gem. I can’t wait for your review.😁💙 Here’s to more 5 star reads in 2019! 🤞🏻

Oohhh my lord I am so sorry about your pet that passed. I honesty do not know what I would do if anything happened to my dog. I’m glad to see you feeling a bit better

My god I absolutely adored the diviner’s and a darker shade of magic. I read them ages ago and haven’t actually read the sequels and these reviews are telling me I probably should

you remind so so so much of my best friend ahhhh ily💞

I didn't read a lot this year but the books that I really enjoyed are They Both Died in the End and Simon vs. Homosapien's Agenda. I have nothing to say about the writing style because I don't focus on that a lot, but the plot for both are very easy for me to read (because I technically had a whim to get back into reading books) and Idk, it's what I was into at the time. Looking back at it right now, I loved They Both Died in the End more just because it came to me at the right time.

My library system doesn’t have Radio Silence, but I recommended it, so hopefully they’ll get a copy before April. I hope you find more books you love this year!

thank u for saving me from my job 👌🏻

Turtles All the Way Down is definitely my favorite! I have OCD and that book struck a personal chord in me.

I feel a sudden shame of still not reading radio silence 🤦🏻‍♀️ My favorite book of 2018 is Warcross. I love how complex the relationships go at the end of the book and that huge giant twist at the end. I can't stop crying for solid half an hour after reading it

I read Radio Silence because of you and honestly??? It was absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for recommending it! It got me into one of my favorite podcasts, The Adventure Zone, and it was so relatable, I felt like I was reading a book about my own life. Also my favorite book I read this year was Crooked Kingdom because it made me feel too many damn emotions lmao

i’ve only read the diviners but now i need to read the next two. When i read the diviner’s i thought it was slow but still enjoyable. maybe now after hearing everyone go crazy about the second and third book i’ll give them a try!

I had a similar experience to yours with a conjuring of light where I was at probably the worst possible point in my school career last year, my teacher was horrible, I hardly did any homework because the thought of even opening my backpack when I got home made me sick, and I had not great urges in my head at all times. Then I picked up Dante and Aristotle Discover The Secrets of the Universe and I swear by the time graduation came around, I had read that book 5 times. It was just such a comfortable book. I could leave the school in tears, then crack open the book again and be fine.

i read lots of books that became my favourite last year. These are A gentleman's guide to vice and virtue, The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Eliza and her monsters, and Scythe. However my top two would have to be Eliza and her monsters and the seven husbands of evelyn hugo. I loved Eliza because i deeply related to her character and how she felt. The aspect of online communities was so prominent and the way it was written about really hit me because I am someone who also has found the most meaningful friendships on the internet and I think this book really did internet friends and online fandom culture justice. i couldn't help but cry when the book was over. I loved The seven husbands because the way the story was written was so engaging and even though most of the characters were very flawed, you coudn't help but love them. Evelyn, to me, felt like an actual person and as though I was watching a movie while i was reading the book (which in my opinion is one of the best indicators of if a book is good). I loved reading about the politics of "stardom" and the history of the 1950's that was woven in to the story very nicely. The representation in this book was amazing as our main character is bisexual and Cuban and there is also a gay couple. It's honestly a book i would love to re-read. I still need to read radio silence.... just need to get my hands on a copy first. (ignore the bad grammer, i am not a writer only a reader. and i suck at writing)

I picked up Radio Silence because of you and I loved it!

My dog died of cancer on november. It was really hard for my family so I feel you and send you a hug to you and your family

i can't believe radio silence was this (last) year! feels like i've been hearing your love for it for a hot decade now lmao

I have a tie for my favorite book of 2018; between Howl's Moving Castle by Dianna Wynne Jones or To Be Honest by Maggie Ann Martin. Howl's Moving Castle was the beautiful, whimsical YA fantasy that I desperately needed at the time. The writing is so beautiful and, although not set in our own world, is sort of a feel-good book when it comes down to it. To Be Honest was (and I mentioned this in my Goodreads review) like what I imagine Radio Silence was like for you. I read it in about four hours the same night I bought it in the fall, and it changed my reading life. I had never once read about a character with the same insecurities and worries as me, and it was both refreshing and painful to read from the perspective of someone who thought so similarly to me. I rarely read contemporary, because it usually bothers the hell out of me, but this book was amazing, and I will love it for years to come.

The Hate you give was amazing and my favorite of the year. Just gave me all the emotions

Your hair has grown so much and you look like fall! 🙌

Diary of a Young Girl: Anne Frank. I knew it was a deppressing read and I didn't think I had the paitience to read classics, but Anne Frank is so relatable, and she feels very modern.... Her introspective way of thinking, her thirst for knowledge and her independent mind - I connected with her very much with her :')

I read Radio Silence right after I finished my senior year and started my indefinite break from school, and I was feeling ashamed of myself for taking a few years off. It soothed me and helped me so much, honestly it's one of my favorite books now.

I don't know, but for some reason, I was expecting 5 books ahah anyway, good choices!

My favorite of the year with The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt!!! It just connected with me so well bc I was having a rough time and I feel like the protagonist was dealing with a lot of the same shit as me. I also loved getting a glimpse of the whole underground art scene and the book talks about the importance of art which I loved. It was tragic and beautiful idek how to explain it

I bought The Diviners because of your rave review. I totally plan to read it either in the late Summer or early Autumn! MY favorite books of the year were "Woman in the Window" which I think you read and "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo". I loved the first book because of all the old noir movie references, the season it took place and the fact that it was so well written. Evelyn Hugo was just such a beautifully written novel.

I like your taste in books. Will definitely subscribe and read Radio Silence! ❤️

Mine was "Kill the Farm Boy" by Delilah Dawson and Kevin Hearne. Believe I gave it a 4. Essentially, it entertained me, read it whenever I had free time (which is rare and why it takes me months to go through one book), and it went with my taste in humor. Literally it. It's not my all-time favorite book (which would be "The Golden Compass"), but this year was meh. I don't even remember what I read before the summer. Anyway, great video as always! And I hope your dog enjoys "Radio Silence" too.

after your explanation of radio scilence im 100% gonna read it because I can just relate so much to the main character and I haven't even started the book yet.

it is april of my senior year. TIME TO READ THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME

YES WE NEED THE RADIO SILENCE REVIEW, I JUST READ IT & IT MADE MY LIFE

I really enjoyed all of the books on your list, but LAIR OF DREAMS *screeching forever* (and Ling is my favorite character, too!)

My favourite of 2018 was Circe. Oh my god that book made me feel. The writing was so beautiful it was the perfect balance between poetic, descriptive and moving. As to Circe I loved her so much, like I can never actually like the MC and sympathize so much with them. It was such an empowering read to find a character go from zero to ten. One of the most jarring, moving and powerful books ever.

Radio silence is the first book I have read in 2019 and gooood I related to it in soooo many levels I'll probably read it again this year .

I'm reading a conjuring of light rn and i'm loving it sooo much💞

My favorite book was also radio silence! I don't have to explain why. But the ones that made the shortlist were I was born for this, Six of crows (and Crooked kingdom), Lord of shadows, and the gentleman's guide to vice and virtue

I’m so sorry for you and your family’s loss of your animal. I know what that’s like, and I wish no one ever had to go through. I’m glad reading could help you feel a bit better. I wish the best for all of you.
