‘Excuse me, sir/madam, do you have a moment to talk about the gospel of “Love & other words”?’

[@khalilahd.]

SCREAMING 😭😭 because why is this me?!

[@ravisampatht6h]

I just wanted to say this Khalilah deserves way more attention. She recommends a lot of good books! Keep Going!

[@dreamytulip]

Me : gets notification from Khalilah Also me: brings out my pen and paper because I know I'm about to add more books to my TBR

[@poppycalliope]

Powerless being a copy of the hunger games was such a shock to me. I haven't read Powerless yet and I will give it a shot nonetheless but still that kinda threw me off when i heard it for the first time 😅 Divine Rivals was so cute, i gave it 4.75 stars but i agree that we were not given enough info about the war. Definitely wanted "more" from Iris and Roman, I get what you mean!

[@syd2765]

LOL not Car~dane~ 🤣 love you Khalilah that pronunciation just made me giggle 🥰

[@carolineblack934]

I remember starting the Cruel Prince trilogy and thinking “how are these two people gonna fall in love?” Cause like they HATED each other! They had a lot of work to do 💀💀

[@Ariii_ma]

Yellowface is really a good booktok book in my opinion. I read it last week and its one of my top read ever. !❤

[@starpistols]

🩷🩷🩷 love this video, booktok can be so unpredictable with some books being atrocious and some being 6 star reads

[@khalilahd.]

Haha exactly!

[@kathleenmulvihill7801]

Great video!! 🎉I LOVED how you kept changing filming locations for each book!!

[@miss_jayyy]

I've been binge watching your videos and I've discovered so many new book recs! So many that I haven't heard of before!

[@aseel5123]

You summarized my entire thoughts in your divine rivals review❤😂 i agree with you, your not the only one who didn't have a connection with the characters I'm also not eager to read the 2nd book 😢

[@Vivi_G]

Heartsttopper is like one of my favorite series ever. Trust me you should finish it 🙏

[@murgy1234]

I rated Divine Rivals and Powerless 5 stars 😂 I completely agree with your viewpoints on both books though! Overall, I think they’re perfect for YA readers. I will definitely be picking up Cruel Prince! Any book you love goes immediately in my TBR lol.

[@Mxe00.]

You must read the book "Alien from Earth" if you like sci-fi thrillers. It's amazing.

[@nini-x6g]

You can read the heartless by Marissa Meyer its so gooood😢

[@jajsanir]

If there’s one Booktuber whose recommendations I trust, it’s DEFINITELY Khalilah!! 💖

[@deborahbelleman]

i read divine rivals as an audiobook and it was so good, the two narrators for roman and kit really fitted the vibes and the way they read the letters was really beautiful. so if you wanna read this one, maybe try the audiobook!

[@donsle_k]

i literally just finished heartstopper vol 5 and it was sooo good. i’m sad vol 6 is the last one! + i understand your thoughts and opinion with divine rivals. it’s fair and valid LMAO i love the concept but it could have been more than what it was. especially ruthless vows! but it’s a nice read

[@tessib.1043]

I soft DNF’d Better Than The Movies. I found the FMC annoying, plus it reminded me too much of a movie called The Duff. I still need to The Cruel Prince 🥴😆

[@julre7866]

Same! I thought of the movie the whole time while reading it. I thought the book was still cute but it felt unoriginal for me because of the similarities to the movie plot.

[@tessib.1043]

@@julre7866 whew..I am so glad I am not the only one 😅

[@TheBookGirly]

I gotta agree with the statement for Divine Rivals. I had such high hopes for that book but the actual world building and storyline were a little lacking imo. Also. Unpopular opinion. I didn't really like the Cruel Prince (please don't come for me😭) and I do still have to read the other books in the series, but im kinda dreading it tbh😅😢

[@Sofia-vv3hw]

I totally agree with you! I did find the Cruel Prince lacking,mostly because the romance got a lot of hype but you just get a ton of plans and fantasy dilemmas(which are fine,but not what i prepared for or wanted..). I chose to keep reading the series ,and again The wicked king was ..eh...So, maybe just dnr it😂 and be over with it

[@monicagarcia283]

Girl…you are stunning but omg your hair 😍😍😍! Thanks for the recommendations 📚 💖

[@stephanie_layla]

When khalilah post yk it’s a good day 💗💗

[@abzster]

I suggest checking out the movie Drive Me Crazy with Melissa Joan Hart and Adrien Grenier. your Better Than The Movies recap gave me the vibes of that movie lol and now I want to go watch it lol

[@izabelaplaczek9030]

If you like better than the movies, you should read betting on you by Lynn Painter. Also Katherine Center has the most amazing romance books, like the bodyguard, most are spice free or have very little spice in them :)

[@lost.in.prose.]

Seven husbands is the BESTTT

[@melissar.7802]

Your hair 🤩💛

[@JohnSeney]

Ah if you like love letters in books maybe look into the now-classic "The Virgin and the Gypsy" by DH Lawrence, which movingly and realistically concludes with such a letter 👍

[@chocolateoreo6489]

Aw Khalilah is an icon❤

[@shalidarenee84]

I’m gonna have to check out The Cruel Prince bc I love enemies to lovers 😊

[@xanthippikipou2531]

Thank you lovely book queen ❤👑

[@bookish110]

Personally I loved powerless but i will say i definitely noticed the copying of hunger games. That being said I loved pae and kai so much and i couldn't help but love it 😭

[@kwoot07]

I liked the sequel to Divine Rivals SO much more than DR. It’s the only reason I still think fondly of the duology.

[@GeedyaSims]

I just finished reading Better Than The Movies and it was a great read.

[@Ava-o9x]

MADE MY DAY💛

[@Ava-o9x]

Nothing like the movies is coming soon *screaming, crying t h r o w i n g u p *

[@elijonze]

Ahoy! Please read Station Eleven by Emily St.John Mandel! Would love to hear your thoughts on it 💖

[@brandonjoachim4932]

Year 2 of recommending Open Water by Caleb Nelson 😭

[@MegaMusic104]

Thank you for this video I think I only get my suggestions from booktok lol 😂. One recommendation that I do have because l just finished it is, A thousand boy kisses

[@earthgoddess_66]

Side bar: Love your hair. What products do you use? Thanks.❤

[@jamiewilson9280]

It’s like you’re allergic to chairs!

[@TashaxMack]

I was pretty disappointed in Powerless. It’s not bad but it’s not up to the hype for me. Reckless was the same for me. It’s really hit or miss with these popular books. But I did like The Cruel Prince!! I’m shocked at how you said you didn’t feel the need to read the second book in Divine Rivals, because that ending of the first one!!’ 😮

[@sarahaltameemi]

The lunar chronicles has 0 spice and I really like it

[@masapaunovic2610]

Pleaseeeeeeeee read This Book Kills by Ravena Guron it's sooooo good and plot is good

[@jamiewilson9280]

I’m recommending tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

[@kellymanfredini3835]

Read the husband's!!

[@sydisue22]

I really enjoyed Hurricane Summer by Asha Bromfield (this book touched me so much -coming of age - I loved reading the jamaican language!-& above all- the end had me shook -in the best way🥲) then my second recommendation is The end and other beginnings by Veronica Roth (6 short sci-fi stories -great for dipping your toes into the sci-fi genre with feel good endings) Those are my favorite books to recommend!!! 😊 edit: I have no idea why my writing is crossed out also- highly recommend the Cruel Prince audiobook because I found it helped me really take in the descriptive writing best! anyways great video -enjoyed watching 😁

[@dominiquesmith3607]

Hey, how do I become a member of your KZbin channel?

[@cjliwanag4116]

nauurr i'm sooo early??

[@khalilahd.]

Love this for you!!

[@AnaClaudiaBertiniCiencia]

I just can’t connect to “enemies to lovers” trope. It doesn’t seem realistic - if you (really) dislike someone, it’s not probable that just out of the blue you’re gonna fall in love with this person.

[@PoppyMorreale]

Have you read where sleeping girls lie

[@itzalmazofficial]

Under an hour gang! 👇

[@Victoria-ee2nb]

"Kiss me until I'm sick of it" and "by you I'm forever undone" always get me... I will fight for Jude and Cardan🫡

[@maximvandervelden7913]

New to the channel so maybe its just that I haven’t found the video yet: do you have any Thriller recommendations? I myself love Karin Slaughter and David Baldacci. But would love to find more good thriller writers. Also love Patricia Cornwell. 🥹❤️
