📚 Welcome to Kay’s Library!

Hey Book Lover! I’m Kay!✨

In 2025, God put it on my heart to shift my reading from secular stories to clean, God-honoring fiction - and I know I’m not alone in that! I’m giving BookTube another go to encourage and inspire readers who share the same conviction.

I’m a Christian, a mama, and a lover of cozy, Christ-centered stories. After a long break, I’m back to share my journey of building a gentler library - one that reflects my faith and fills my shelves with joy instead of conviction. ✝️

On my channel you’ll find:
✨ Faith-filled reading wrap-ups
✨ Christian fiction book recommendations
✨ Bookish chats from a biblical perspective
✨ Encouragement for mamas & women of faith

If you’re looking for wholesome stories that align with your values - you’re in the right place!! 🕊️

Let’s read books that draw us closer to Jesus, one page at a time. 📖

Hey everyone! 📚✨

I’ll be hosting live reading sprints this Saturday with my friend ‪@thelucychronicles‬, and we would love for you to join us for an afternoon/evening of cozy reading together! We’ll be starting at 5 PM EST😊

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beWJR...

Please click the link right after you read this post and hit the “Notify Me” button if you’d like a reminder when we begin! 🕰️📖

These sprints are unlisted, which means YouTube will not automatically notify you when we go live unless you click the link ahead of time. You’ll either need to do that or come back to this post to access the stream. This helps us keep the space a little more private for our subscriber communities. (Also, code for: we shall banish the YouTube trolls into the abyss!!!)

I’m so excited to read with you all! Lucy is an absolute joy, and if you haven’t met her yet, you’re going to love her!!! 💛

Hey friends! Quick update - my vlog reading Theo of Golden ended up being my longest video yet (just over an hour!) 🎥📚 It’s still coming out, but it might not be tomorrow morning. If it’s not up then, it’ll be later on Friday or out by Saturday at the latest. 🤭

If I can be totally real with you, I’ve been dealing with a bit of seasonal depression lately, and with the sunshine finally showing up today ☀️ I’m trying to spend a little time outside instead of forcing myself to stay in and edit all day! 😅 Just wanted to keep you in the loop! The video is coming, just possibly a little delayed 🥰💛

THANK YOU for 10,000 subscribers!! Oh my goodness! I truly can’t believe there are 10,000 people here who want to honor the Lord with what they read and consume. Praise the Lord for this incredible milestone! God is MOVING in the reading community!! ❤️

I just wanted to hop on and say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support, encouragement, and kindness mean so much to me! 🥹

Next week I’ll be posting a special 10K video sharing all of my favorite bookish things + a small giveaway to celebrate! 🤭✨

Thank you for supporting this little “ministry” here on YouTube. If you enjoy my channel, feel free to share it with a friend or family member who might love clean and uplifting book recommendations too! 🤍🙌

Hey friends 🤍

You might notice something new when you go to leave a comment on my channel. I’ve added a short list of community guidelines.

I want to be transparent - this wasn’t done to silence anyone or restrict healthy conversation. My channel exists to help Christians find clean books that honor their walk with God, and over the past few months I’ve received some hurtful comments and DMs that have honestly taken a toll.

For the sake of my mental health and peace, I’ve had to add a few boundaries here on YouTube and Instagram so not just anyone can comment or message me anything.

I truly hope this doesn’t come across as harsh. It’s simply about protecting the heart behind this space so I can continue creating content for you - especially as this community has grown so quickly (which I’m so grateful for!).

And I will say… since putting these safeguards in place, I already feel so much more at peace!! 🤍

Thank you for your understanding, kindness, and for being the reason this little corner of the internet feels so special. It really is just a few bad apples - but I’m human, and words can still hurt. 😅

I appreciate you more than you know. ❤️

Hey friends!! ☺️✨

I just listed a TON of YA fantasy over on my PangoBookstore - plus a few gems from other genres too! 📖

Quick note: everything I’ve listed should be free from sexual content based on the research I was able to do. That said, I haven’t personally read most of these, so I definitely recommend double-checking content notes if that’s important to you.

And truly - zero pressure to buy anything! I just wanted to share in case you love YA fantasy or special edition copies! 🤭

Any funds will go straight toward hunting down more Christian fiction to read and recommend to you all 😆👏❤️

Oh my goodness… we are SO close to 10,000 subscribers and I genuinely cannot believe I’m even typing that!!! 🥹

This feels so surreal. I am beyond grateful for every single one of you who has supported this channel, watched a video, left a comment, or simply cared about honoring God in the stories you consume. My heart behind this space has always been to help you connect with the Lord through books, and it means everything to see that resonate with so many of you 😭❤️

When I officially hit 10K, I want to celebrate in a fun way! I’m thinking:

🤍 A big Q&A video
🤍 Maybe something special or different?
🤍 A creative (budget-friendly 😅) giveaway idea? I sadly cannot afford another giveaway like I did in January - I wasn’t expecting to grow so fast 🥹

I would LOVE your input. If you have:
• Questions you’d want answered in a Q&A
• Video ideas for a 10K special
• Creative giveaway ideas that don’t require a huge budget

Please tell me below!

Thank you for being here. Truly. This community is such a gift, and I don’t take a single one of you for granted!! 🕊️📚

Please go show my sweet friend Liv some love! 🤍 She’s beginning to shift her book reviews to a more biblical perspective and will be incorporating more Christian fiction into her reading life - which I’m so excited about! 🤩

Liv and I have been friends for the past three years, and she has supported and encouraged me since day one of starting YouTube. Truly. She is one of the most humble, kindhearted souls I know, and I have no doubt you’ll be so blessed by getting to know her and her heart for reading! 💕

Liv - I love you and am cheering you on! 🥰🎉

Happy Thursday, friends! 🤭💕

I’m sitting down to plan my March and April content and would love your input. Is there a specific type of video you’d like to see from me? Any BookTube tags you’ve seen going around that I should try? Questions you want answered? A specific recommendation list (regency romance, Christian fiction, spring reads, authors, fantasy, etc.) you’d love?

Truly - tell me anything that interests you 😂😌

Your feedback helps me prioritize what you actually want to watch, and I’m so grateful for this little community we’re building together 💖🙌
