Choosing My Next Read 🔮 Scavenger Hunt Decides My TBR

[@riankoch9126]

The way I cackled when you realized you’d skipped a whole prompt 🤣🤣🤣 10/10 for entertainment

[@tc8404]

I’m at work and I very seldom laugh at a video. But her face when she realized, and yes I laughed out loud, more like a laugh snort

[@louisejackson233]

The ‘I need to dust my bookshelf’ horror was far too relatable

[@yinandyangmix]

Very glad you didn't scrap this video! The chaos just adds to the overall feel 😆

[@simrag]

I love how she shaked the last prompt in the jar, on its own.... Iconic 😂❤

[@amyjones6848]

"what do you mean IN the title?!" as if you didn't write the prompts yourself hahaha. That made me laugh so hard.

[@taeanna1644]

Here for the chaotic energy and the elusive TBR Closet!

[@cat.book.nook.]

I swear Kayla could sell tickets for people to see her closet 😂 it's magical

[@taeanna1644]

@@cat.book.nook. 😂 I’ll buy! I’ve been waiting for a deep dive into the closet since the clean out challenge series.

[@graceblondell7320]

this might be fun to do at the library

[@BriMiKie]

You should totally do this monthly! It’s a fun wild card.

[@eleanorhenderson9896]

Agreed! I like the different order of prompts too, makes it harder to plan

[@angelaherrera8045]

The absolute chaos of this video makes me feel better about my own journeys 😂😂

[@lilypickett2386]

"no problem, I can count" 😂😂😂😂

[@gabbyreads]

This video is absolute chaos and I’m here for it 😂

[@calamitywindpetal]

As per usual with these, I did a looooot of just squeaking by haha. I started with Fangirl and found the dedication was to Jennifer, so I grabbed To All The Boy I've Loved Before by Jenny Han, found Boys Don't Knit which was published in the same year, the blurb thing was. Simply too hard BUT one of the 2 blurbs on Boys Don't Knit is from the School Library Journal, so I grabbed the School for Good and Evil 2 simply because they both have School in the title. The random word I pointed at was eight, so I grabbed Library Wars vol 8, which according to Goodreads has 200 pages. Also according to good reads Nancy Drew: The Mystery at the Lilac Inn has 200 pages. With E as my most common letter I found I Remember Nothing by Nora Ephron, which is more or less the same color as The Fault in Our Stars (a five star). A book I'd recommend that's similar is Halfway Normal, which is a middle grade about a girl in remission. 13 letters in Halfway Normal and 13 letters in Sea of Monsters (ignore the fact that its supposed to be THE sea of monsters, it was hard). The fifth line had a bunch of words I couldn't find but luckily the word "we" brought me to We are the Wildcats. Which has the same colors as Escape From the Isle of the Lost which unfortunately only has like a piece of coal or rock on fire on the cover. I really squeezed that one and ended up with the book I will be reading next aaaaas - Walt Disney's Annette and the Mystery at MoonSTONE Bay. Except not really because that's the 2nd book in the series so first I have to read Annette Sierra Summer. The only good news here is that Annette being in the title also fulfills my buzzwordathon prompt for March. I will literally play along every time you post one of these videos

[@heyemilya]

that first transition was gooooood

[@kayliemichelle5314]

Ok this is so funny. I haven’t even watched this yet but I had to tell you this. Earlier today I was watching your scavenger hunt video from last year and followed along and ended up with Leave The World Behind for my next read. I just think it’s so neat that you’re posting a new one on the same day. Love it! Starting LTWB tomorrow ❤️

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

nice! I have that book too but haven't gotten to it yet.. maybe in April or May. Hope you enjoy it! 😊

[@musicandloveismylive]

Okay let's gooo!! Favorite book: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo Name in the acknowledgments (Kathleen): How to make Friends with the Dark by Kathleen Glasgow Same year (2019): the starless sea by Erin Morgenstern Blurb (Audrey Niffenegger): the night circus by Erin Morgenstern (i know i know) Word on a random page ( this took a few different ones / café): the pumpkin spice cafe by Laurie Gilmore Same amount of pages: Hp the chamber of secrets by / Most common letter (r and e): Carry On by Rainbow Rowell Similar cover 5 star: the Sun and The star by Rick Riordan Recommendation: Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas Same number of letters: Radio Silence by Alice Oseman Word on page 50 (one): one last atop by Casey McQuiston Similar cover tbr: Loveless by Alice Oseman ( it's pink you know😅) Final book/something on the cover (there is a & key on the books so and😝) : me, my dad and the end of the rainbow by Benjamin Dean There you go:)))

[@tonyamariexo]

This was so much fun! I followed the prompts and started with my favorite 2023 - The Measure by Nikki Erlick and ended up with the final word of "Door" so I could either pick Lock Every Door by Riley Sager or 10,000 Doors of January by Alix E Harrow 🤔 Now to decide what mood I'm in but both of these are great backlist titles I've been meaning to get to.

[@amandaplaysthesims]

my whole mood is Kayla walking from one room to another a couple of times and saying "I'm getting my steps in" ;)

[@BrebearMckae]

I love this every time- mixing up the prompts was the BEST level up to the game!!!!!!

[@juliemckenzie2409]

I can’t believe I’m watching this the day it comes out. Being a teacher I never have time to be on my phone so Kayla you blessed me with an amazing night!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@fooduzzi]

"What do you mean 'in the title'?!" Girl you wrote these! 😂 I love these videos SO MUCH. They are way too fun to watch. Thank you for doing them every year!

[@Gianzhg]

Oh my god I have been looking for a website that collects the list of all books an author has blurbs. Fantastic Fiction is incredible. Thank you so much ❤

[@MilenaReads]

Loving the organised chaos of this video.

[@jamieevans1387]

Girl, this video is awesome! I think this might be my favorite one. You're the best

[@neofytoskaltzidis5472]

Hawk mountain was one of my favorite books of 2023 and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it!

[@Lorie336]

I always love these scavenger hunts, always fun and entertaining! 😊🩷🩷🩷

[@aprilhutchens2105]

I am definitely going to do this when I finish the last 3 books in my immediate TBR. I'll be doing it at the library, since that's where most of my books come from 😊

[@hannahjosmithheart]

This video was so fun and genuinely hilarious!! I’m so glad that you didn’t scrap it! Great reminder that the journey is more important than being perfect!

[@carlee3958]

"I've never heard of them." (All 4 One) I feel old now. Thanks. LOL!

[@gabbychiera8816]

I was so confused, Funny Feelings isn’t part of Lovelight Farms 😂 it just has the same cover artist! This was such a fun and hilarious video!

[@miyayume_eclectic_dream]

😌 I live a happy oblivious life under a rock apparently...for I have no knowlegde of FANTASTIC FICTION and it just this second become a favorite of mine....let see what are the new book in next 30 days...I am swooning...

[@meganriley4513]

I just finished that book! I’m so excited to hear your review. I think you’re going to like it.

[@zara6472]

Loved the transitions in this video and liking the hair colour ❤

[@WillGraham-uv1ol]

kayla comes up with the most interesting ideas omg, scavenger hunts are cute af

[@rachellemanning6631]

Somehow this is the most on brand video you’ve done and I absolutely loved the chaos ❤

[@liminal.season]

I just did a scavenger video myself last month! So fun!!

[@monasticintuition]

You said O author and i SCREAMED "Ottessa!"

[@readingwithkylie]

This seems like it would be so fun, but also my books are spread out across my whole house and I'm not sure I'm that motivated lol.

[@tabitha_h2000]

this was so chaotic & I loved every second👏🤣📚

[@Jwhackers]

I always love the tops you wear in your videos. Id love it if youd start putting in your description box a link or where its from. I didnt even notice you skipped the prompt. 😂

[@MoJordanReads]

John Michael Montgomery is the OG for "I Swear" in case you want to know haha

[@celenabedford]

The way I look forward to your scavenger hunt vids every year!!! Never disappoints

[@stellaisteeth]

Have you tried a "title chain challenge"? Find a book title with 2+ words, then go on a scavenger hunt to find a second book title that begins with the last word of the first book title. So on and so forth. You could read all of them, or the last book in the chain that appeals to you. Ex: Autobiography of Red --> The Red and the Black --> Black Sun --> The Sun Is a Compass --> Compass South --> etc.

[@brizzyybooks]

these are my favorite to watch! so fun!!

[@brizzyybooks]

also the skipping the prompt slipped past me as well 😆

[@ellybelly57]

Oh my gosh you're finally reading hawk mountain, kind of gutted you're not vlogging it though I would have loved to see your reactions😂

[@BookChats]

Not my library hold on Look Closer just coming in this morning and me trying to remember who recommended it. Must have been you!

[@emmal7510]

I was trying to figure out what I'd misheard as Dune when you caught the error.

[@MoJordanReads]

I'm reading The Fox Wife right now and definitely felt like it was something I'd have to try to recommend to you. Then you quickly pulled out a book by Yangsze Choo in this video so I feel like now is the time to say... I think you should read The Fox Wife!

[@Tazzie1312]

I'm just sitting here going "let us in the TBR closet" XD

[@KaeliB1]

I LOVE the scavenger hunt videos! Also, I go back frequently and watch your old videos where you guess books by the first line, or where you have a specific time to find a book. Love them all 😊

[@chelseareadstowolves]

There were so many almost Yes's from that last TBR closet pull.

[@itsmorgan1017]

ok that transition was cool

[@Rank.Roundup]

This is one of my favorite videos you do every year, but I always feel like it’s incomplete. I’m dying to see you actually read the book you ended up with and give your review at the end. Did the scavenger hunt lead you to a good book? A new favorite? A dud? I need to know! (As part of this video. Not the monthly wrap-up.). Also, I love seeing you end up with a more obscure book. 🙂

[@erinjohnson3663]

I had so much fun with this

[@ffiontill5924]

I love Kayla’s videos. They always make me smile. I have pretty bad anxiety and watching her videos it’s like I can release a breath I knew I was holding🤣💓

[@emperorcupcake]

I'm so glad this chaotic journey led to Hawk Mountain! It was 5 stars for me.

[@lydialuvs]

This is so much fun! I love how random it is!! Choosing random media is so much fun

[@AbiofPellinor]

The needing to dust the bookshelves is honestly so insulting 😂

[@notaraventoolate]

Your hair looks so good!

[@aprilhutchens2105]

OMG I don't know why you opening that closet and discovering your wayward hanger and strawberry robe tickled my funny bone so hard but I was crying 😂 My 8 year old son asked me to rewind it so he could join in the fun and he was cackling too 😂😂😂 ded

[@oksnariel]

i love how chaotic this became

[@MariahNic]

I saw BooksandLala wearing a textured blue shirt from Old Navy, so I bought a textured blue shirt from Old Navy.

[@nannybells]

lmao this was such a wonderful journey!

[@joanbereading]

I liked hawk mountain but I felt like what was meant to be the climax happened too early and it just ruined the narrative tension for the rest of the book

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

“If you’re ugly and small you don’t get to be seen” took me out 😂

[@Oliver.Danielle]

Kayla what if you did this but mixed the prompts with ones about songs 😂 could definitely take you in a whole other direction

[@miosnikzycia2913]

Ooh, I read Hawk Mountain last year! Certainly an interesting read. And the first time I've read something before Kayla

[@MindyDontCayer]

This was the best ride. Cannot wait for you to do it, again. Even if you mess up the first prompt. Perfection

[@allicynreads]

I’m not even kidding, I was JUST about to find the last video where you did this so I could use the prompts to find my next read. What perfect timing!

[@ferventfei]

the final book does sound interesting! im adding it to my tbr and looking forward to your review

[@zukythebookbum]

omg I’m excited you picked that book!! 👀

[@McKennaKIAm]

What I really want to know is where do you get your rings??!

[@ArtByDesign80]

17:05 definitely noticed she skipped the first prompt lol

[@EllieRoseMcKee]

LOVE the choas of this video. I needed a laugh.

[@stace_d]

(Pause video) Sidenote, I LOVE the way these rings are looking! Hand jewelry is my catnip 😍

[@simrag]

I've just been binge watching all your videos! Prayed for another book hunt, and it happened! 😆❤️

[@isabelamartins8343]

omg your hair looks sooooo good!!!!! looks like ariel

[@gogo_lopez]

I'm so hyped for you to read Hawk Mountain! I actually picked it up some time ago because you hauled it, can't wait to know your thoughts 🥰 Loved the video chaos and all haha ❤

[@lvbckr]

fully obsessed with the chaotic energy of this video

[@aprilhutchens2105]

"I Swear" was originally done by country superstar John Michael Montgomery. His version is FAR superior.

[@VeraFran]

Not gonna lie, those are some of the most entertaining videos. I keep forgetting things too, all the time.

[@ThorTwinkle]

16:22 Idk exactly why, but I was so surprised to see that you still have The King's Men in your TBR closet 😭

[@cat.book.nook.]

Yaaaaay! Choosing a book to read this way would stress me out so much, but I love watching such videos! ❤

[@camyllacavalcante1926]

i love these yayy i did it and ended up with the bluest eye

[@thebookgeek87]

Omg such a powerful book

[@literarylove123]

I'm a long-time subscriber, but I just became a member. This is such an entertaining and fun video! I loved it.

[@sashreads]

love your hair colour and how it POPS against your blue shirt!

[@tinadoesntreadthatmuch]

This video is pure chaos and I'm here for it

[@meikusje]

I started reading Hawk Mountain last year when I was in a real bad place, mentally, and the tension gave me such bad anxiety that I had to quit 🤪 definitely planning to finish it though.

[@Anna-dp8ee]

One of my favorite videos you do 🥰

[@icedcoffeeandbookss]

YAYYY ANOTHA ONE

[@msellenandrea]

the casual chaos is very delightful 😂

[@tahirareads]

This video concept is so fun, I did it last year but ended up giving the book 2 stars lol

[@kyleerabbitts3671]

YESSSS i love when you do these! i always participate then never read the book bc i’m a mood reader 💀💀

[@lanej.6458]

Same here 🤣 still fun to follow along though!

[@ninarasm]

I love these videos! They always make me want to do the same to find my next read, but I am such a mood reader so I don’t think it would work for me 😆

[@JoadWells]

Can I just say I love your rings and jewelry in this

[@LibrariesandLattes]

This was so entertaining and hilarious 😆 Definitely realized you skipped the first prompt but that didn’t make it any less fun!

[@AliDoisRead]

ooh I love your jewelry 😍

[@Blair.christine]

See, I wouldn’t have counted the for the honey witch. But I also worked at Blockbuster, and when we alphabetize titles the never count. Because we would have so many t’s, it would have been ridiculous.😂

[@courtneyclark4890]

We have absolutely nothing in common for reading taste, but I absolutely love your videos anyways. I’m just here for the vibes

[@Hannanoma]

The absolute carnage of this video was everything 😂

[@xchriissyx]

Something about your look here is giving very strong young Kayla and I can't figure out why or what it is, someone help?? 😅😂 Also how did Eileen make it onto my tbr when you haven't even read it yet, I'm just so confused tonight lmaoo loved the chaos at the end though!
