Your art/reading journal is such a refreshing idea! It got me into recording my books too. And I would definitely love watching the process of your 2023 journal as well! You’re such an inspiration!

I recently found your channel and I’ve been obsessively watching all your vids! I love your art, but my favourite part about you is your amazing positivity! You are honest with yourself, you don’t let comparisons bring you down. What made me fall in love with your channel is in the first video I watched you went over some sketchbook pages you made and were just so candid about hat you liked and didn’t like about them, but in the end you embrace it all! It’s a rare thing to come across someone who is so self forgiving and supporting. Thank you for being so inspiring! ❤ Have a great new year, and I hope you make a lot more content!

OMG YES to a book channel!!!!!!!!!!! also happy new yr ily katie

I think combining your art and book wrap ups in this way is a pretty interesting and unique- i have not seen this in the space yet (although I’m probably not deep into the algorithms to compare) I’d say keep with this trend if sustainable without setting up a new channel! Good luck! 🎉

annnd now you're my favorite booktuber!

1. I’m super not into Colleen Hoover books so youre not alone! 2. I do both an art channel and book channel and recommend it! When I’m not in the mood to work on one, I work on the other lol

I would love to see your journal for books in 2023! What a great idea to do illustrations of the books you read. I'm going to buy a new journal tomorrow so I can start drawing g. I'm currently reading a French book that takes place in Paris. Can't wait u til I'm done to start drawing!! Thank you so much for your videos!!

Thi is such a great idea!!!!! I'm definitely doing this also! I'm actually not the type to write written reviews on books but I definitely enjoy drawing! Thank you for this katie! Looking forward for videos like this one!

This is such a cool way to remember and reflect on books throughout the year! I don't think I would be able to keep up with it but I loved seeing your pages :)

I love this idea, and I love that you talk positively about your art. I get so bummed out when artists talk down about their work, so this was really refreshing and inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

this is a beautiful way to document the books you've read in the year! I'm not super great at art but I'd love to try something like this, so thank you for the inspiration

Reading is a goal for me for 2023, and being an artist as well: The way you did it gives me even more motivation. Thank you for showing us and I will defo check out these books!

also, I want to recommend two books to you: The Portrait of a Thief, and The Catherine House.

What an excellent an lovely idea!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

I love this series, excellent work - please make more of these videos I am obsessed with your content!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite book of 2022 is Crying in HMart

This is such a great idea! 😍 I didn’t really like “Ugly Love” either. 😅 It was my first CoHo book and I stayed away from her books for about 6 years or so…but then I finally decided to give her books another chance and read “It Ends With Us” about a year ago and I loved it!! However I did not like the sequel at all.

Love this idea and I really enjoyed your illustrations! please make more of this type of videos 🧚‍♀️

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea. I think I'm going to have to try that out this year... 🙂

Excellent vlog

i'll totally try this. it looks so cute, so refreshing. it is unique

yes i’d love to subscribe to your future book related channel!

hey katie! you should definitely start a booktube!! awesome art book journal btw. makes me wanna start one this year!

I wished I were more open minded when it comes to books. But I have a couple of favourite books and find it so hard to give any different one a chance. I read like 5 or 6 books in two months and then no more 🤣😭

Katie you are such an inspiration! i have had a longing to doodle and illustrate as i read, but i never act on it. not in 2023! i plan to art journal the books i read this year! i also love your take on art journaling in general; again., v inspiring. i can't wait to see what other nuggets of gold you choose to share with us in 2023, and to see your children's book illustrator journey unfold! hoping i'm in a financial place to be able to join your patreon and book club this year. happy new year!!

I really like your idea for this journal, it’s like taking out the world that a book creates in your head on a paper ❤

Looks like I have one more goal to achieve in 2023 😅 This is such a great idea 😊 I'd love to try it! Happy New Year! ✨

Omg I totally agree with your hot take about Colleen Hoover. I read one book and never again. No thank youuuu. Also, love seeing your recs! I’m excited to read some of these! Especially some Japanese fiction

If you haven’t read it till now, I really indicate The Secret History by Donna Tart , is a dark academia book, it’s one of my fav ones you should definitely read it!

YES BOOK CHANNEL PLS!! Def doing one of these this year 🤍

I know this is an art channel, but your manicure is *chefs kiss* so lovely! Literally the perfect shade of red for you!

you inspired me to start reading journal, such a brilliant idea

"she deserves jail time" made me lose it lolol

Such an amazing idea!!! I love all the spreads (and especially agree that Colleen Hoover is NOT living up to the hype). I'd love a book channel as well!

Love this idea! It made me want to start a journal about the books I've read mainly so I can remember how I felt about it and if I truly like it at the time. Shout out from book club lover!

Love the book journal! Also this was such a cozy video to watch!

Ammmaaazzinngg Katie!!😊😊

I love this idea! I definitely want to do this for my reads in 2023! Thank you for both the art and reading inspo!

i love this!!!!!!

Love love love love this! Please keep sharing these wonderful bits of your work!

Love this idea! 😍

great content happy 2023!!!!!!!

This is such a good idea!! And a great combination of reading and art! Two of my favorite things! Honestly, I want to make one of these now!! You are such an inspiration Katie!! 💕💕

Oh my!! I love this idea so much. Might have to start doing this as well. It's such a fun and refreshing way to document all of the books you've read. I've been wanting to start my art journey and this seems like such a good way to practice!

This is so inspiring!! I keep a reading journal but it’s only text. I think this is fun and a good way to fill a sketchbook too ❤ so cool!

heyy Katie! I love your channel and I'm so happy you are back in this new year! I would love if you talked more about books or even created a channel just for them because you are an inspiration for me to read more and to try to do the art reading journal! I think this idea is the best of both worlds and I'm really into it. Fantastic idea. I loved all the art you have made and this notebook is so cute! also, have you ever read the raven boys? it's the most dark academia book series I've ever read and it's my ultimate of life. happy New year ❤️🎨

Please talk about your books ! 🫶🏽

Cute idea! will have to try it sometime☺

Your book journal inspired me to create an art reading journal.

Wow, love your content! Your art is gorgeous and your videos are so cozy and relatable. I really love this idea of combining reading and art! Also, I would definitely watch booktube videos if you created them ❤

wonderful video I would love to see you set up your sketchbook for next years reads for sure!

U read so many books this yr! Haha loved ur hot takes 🔥

I love your book sketchbook!!!! I’d love it if you ended up making a booktube channel but if you don’t, I hope you post more content like this from time to time!! I kind of want to try making one of these myself, although I’m not sure how it would go ahahahha

I really love how intricate and colorful so many of the spreads are! I've seen your videos pop up on my feed since the quitting your job one and I hope the best for your business! If you're interested in more book reccomendations, I finished up the City of Brass series by S.A. Chakraborty and really enjoyed the characters there. If you want a good cry (I forget if you mentioned this book or not ack--) I really love 'Crying at H Mart.'

So, I just found your channel like a month ago, and I love it. I'm trying to read 50 books this year...would you mind if I totally stole the book review art journal for my channel?? 😁 it's such a great idea, and I think it would help me remember what I read this year!

Hi Katie! love your content as always! Whta did you think about Kafka on the shore? Idk if you had alredy commented on this one but I'll love to hear your perspective before reading it :3

Hiiiiiiiiii I just discovered your channel and I’m obsessed!!!!! Could u do I video on what brushes you use for procreate illustrations.. or how you run you business?

I don't have much time to actually read but I love to listen to audio books. Especially while working and driving. Sherrilyn Kenyon is my favorite. I'm currently re-listening to neighbor from hell series by R.L. mathewson

35 books is so impressive! I read one 😂😂😂

As soon as you said the “worst book” that you “hated”, I knew who the author was. 😂

How long does it take for you to finish one spread?? I’m trying out my own art/reading journal and it’s taking forever😂

this is AMAZING 🥰 do u mind if i use ur idea on my sketchbook?

Please do create a book yt channel

Same Katie sameeee. I love CoHo and her books. But but Ugly Love really gave me the wtf vibe. I want to be biased but this book aint deserve to earn my stars. I literally hate the main characters. 😂

I love this idea, I got back into reading in the middle of last year but I really wanna read more. I always wrote a little message to myself how i liked the books but also painting something from the book didnt came to my mind hahah. I have only read Clara in the sun from your 2022 books. And I really have to say, I hate this book. It is sooooo slow, story is building up realllyyy slow and the writing style somehow wasnt it. I didnt even finish it, I had like 80 pages left and I just didnt even want to find out about the ending.
