*cozy* bookstore vlog ☁️🌷✨ come book shopping at barnes with me + library run & HUGE book haul!

[@khalilahd.]

Who else is ready for summer romance reading vlogs? 👀💕

[@dreamytulip]

Meeeeee

[@tessib.1043]

I am so ready!!! ❤❤

[@kellymanfredini3835]

Yes! I read new Abby Jiminez book and it was fantastic! I got it first from the library. I also read Happy Place, but that was just meh.

[@cassidyniggeman2801]

Yes! Totally! I think The Night Circus is a movie too but I don’t remember.

[@flowerlynxcrafts]

Meee

[@xela_a]

i love how many books you found at the library compared to b&n! i had the same realization recently: why the heck am i spending all my time and money at barnes when i can go to the library for FREE, find more books, and then use my money to buy books either second-hand, from independent bookstores, or good ol' b&n when i know i already love the book?! libraries really are SO iconic and i'm so glad we found our way back to them 🥰

[@khalilahd.]

THIS!! Couldn’t agree more 🤍

[@ababaigalit]

Under the Whispering Door is not the second book of The House in the Cerulean Sea. The second book, Somewhere Beyond the Sea, will be released on September 10, 2024.

[@khalilahd.]

Haha yes I heard after I filmed this 😫😭

[@kellymanfredini3835]

I am here for the library content! I go to the library every Friday. So fun!

[@AlliNW0nderland.]

Yes! Just recently fell back in love with getting books from the library. Plus the Georgia Pines app allows me to just put a hold on a book I want to read and it will transit into my local library from any other library in Georgia. I love it!!!

[@BJaded]

The Georgia Pines system is the best I have ever seen. I put books on hold at the nearest library when I travel around the state; if I don't finish by the time vacation is over, I turn them in to my local library.

[@AlliNW0nderland.]

@@BJaded oh what?! You don’t have to drop it back off at the library where you checked it out?? I keep learning new things! Love it!

[@TashaxMack]

it’s funny because i went to the library to study right before you released this and came home with some books. lol, i grew up with a library for comfort and it felt nostalgic. Also there’s never too much Harry Potter!

[@itsvorny]

I really want to start going back to my library too! I love these vlogs they just feel so cosy 🥰

[@khalilahd.]

You definitely should! Thank you for watching 🫶🏽

[@oliviaouellet7360]

I am SO ready for the summer reading vlogs

[@raneem.e]

“So many books and not enough money.” Real 💯😭

[@dianaisme]

I feel in love with reading both at the library but also at school. Reading and writing was about all I was kind of good at, and life was not great back then, but books were there always

[@Noidea9999]

omg your local library looks amazing !!!

[@khalilahd.]

It really is! I definitely want to spend more time there this year!

[@avap247]

I love "The Night Circus"!! I read it back in high school and haven't been able to stop thinking about it ever since. No other book I've read since has had such magical and beautiful imagery :') "The Summer Seekers" sounds intriguing, I'll add it to my tbr! If you need any other summer-y romcom recs, I'd suggest "Mrs. Nash's Ashes," which is about a woman who goes on a road trip w a sorta stranger (her ex-bf's writer classmate) who helps her fulfill the wishes of her elderly neighbor/friend. Also, "The Only Game in Town," where the residents of a small-town compete for a large money prize left by a beloved benefactor - the main character is very optimistic and kind, even to the mysterious newcomer who has also joined the competition. Both of these books are so lovely and lighthearted, I just had to share 😁

[@Emmy-rw8yl]

I read the night circus last summer and it’s been on my mind ever since! It’s so enchanting and I truly wish the circus was real so I could visit it!! I’m planning on re-reading it this year ❤

[@tiffanyjanel_]

I love these type of videos from you!! 🥰

[@khalilahd.]

They’re my favorite to film!

[@Salem-tn5zn]

The bow is so cuteee

[@katiepalmer4468]

Omg a booktuber who uses the library I love it so much!

[@michelleleach4880]

This video is so satisfying! Love the background music and watching you explore different books. ❤️

[@khalilahd.]

Glad you enjoyed! 🤍

[@sajnamelbin780]

It always makes me happy when u say i have been reading Harry Potter and I am almost gonna finish the goblet of fire book and i will never ever get tired of u talking about Harry Potter ily so much

[@loveava902]

Always coming to you whenever I feel down. I love this kind of vlogs. ❤

[@khuslenb5987]

I fell in love with reading elementary-middle school. I used to read a lot and I stopped reading as much in high school, only did readings for school, but fell back in love with reading in college. I should visit my local library more often! I also love love LOVE going to Barnes and Noble loll its such a cozy place. Ive been stressed out lately and I wanted to watch a cozy bookstore vid and im glad i came across this vid!

[@patriciakeagan9410]

Awesome haul. You will have so much fun reading this summer. I love how excited you get with reading. Love it.

[@khalilahd.]

Haha I can’t wait!!

[@goddessnix444]

picking daisies on sundays is apparently a cute read. i think it's decently short too.

[@vallerie1156]

you're glowing!! love you for that

[@tessib.1043]

Under the Whispering Door! I still think about it. Such a great book

[@fatima_estella17]

I feel in love with reading in middle school❤

[@samarycastro]

Omg same!!! My librarian at my MS was so cool and always recommended me the best books!! ❤

[@bec-lou-wez3838]

[@dreamytulip]

I've been looking forward to a bookstore vlog from you since forever

[@nicolecharnel]

Definitely not tired of you taking about and reading Harry Potter ☺️

[@annasawicki]

Aaaah yes another bookstore vlog!!!

[@dreamytulip]

To answer your question, ive always loved reading From the moments i could start reading words, my mom got me lots of children books I was reading magszibes, newspapers, encyclopedias. As long as ot had words, I'll read it

[@rachelbolick]

I don’t like filming in front of people either I feel weird. I love how you’re doing something you love and enjoy, book shopping is so much fun. ❤ I heard so many good things about This could be us by Kennedy Ryan and I definitely want to check that book out. ❤it’s so hard to pick out just a couple of books at a book store. 😮 I love how you donate a book without getting another one. 😊

[@justcam1700]

So happy you picked up Under The Whispering Door! It's my favorite book ever!!!

[@jennifermanian1420]

The Running Club is a good one. I had a teacher in grade school that helped me read when I hadnt discovered reading yet. My favorite book then and now is the Princess.and the Pea.

[@elisabethdouglas9339]

can't tell you enough how much I'm loving all your videos!!

[@day.t0nn]

30+ mins from Khalilah=good day😍😍

[@RallyReviews]

Your so cute. Your vlog made me feel so happy and i REALLY needed that. I am glad you found some fun reads.

[@shalidarenee84]

Ok the Summer Seekers sounds so cute! Sounds like a book you should definitely read outdoors or on vacay.

[@Salem-tn5zn]

exhausted from spring cleaning so this is the best thing to watch rn 😊❤

[@journeyoflovee]

Your outfit is so cutee!! Love the bow in your hair🥰 & yess I love the library I always come out with way more than expected ,something about the library just makes me keep picking books up lol

[@thecampinglibrarian]

So happy to see you giving love to your library ❤

[@dianaisme]

I want to read The Night Circus!

[@Emmy-rw8yl]

I highly recommend!! I read it last summer and the book is so enchanting and magical!! I really wish the circus was real cause I’d LOVE to visit it!! I’m planning on re-reading it this year, I hope you enjoy it 🫶

[@dianaisme]

@@Emmy-rw8yl It's high up on my tbr! But I'm also trying to read what I already have, but soon I'll buy some books!

[@josephine1622]

I’m obsessed with my B&N bag! I have the black one, wonderful quality I use mine every day!

Thank you so much!! 🫶🏽

[@squishybear8286]

The Do-Over is SO cute!! I got a really pretty special edition the last time I went to Barnes & noble and it has teal sprayed edges with white hearts all over them. I don’t know if your b&n didn’t have it or not but it’s literally so pretty, and it’s one of the few special editions that’s the same price as the regular edition which is nice.

[@ForTheLoveOfStories47]

Khalilah in your element! Look at you shining! 😁 So great to see you having a great time book shopping again! Time for something light and fluffy after all the HP dramas. How dare they

[@dobetterwithchristian4472]

The Do Over is so cute, and so is Highly Suspicious!

[@desserts0up]

OMG I love your videos so much!! The editing on this one was so great! Keep doing what you do and please recommend more books!!! ❤❤

[@dorsa1773]

Girl! Your skin is glowing!!

[@xanthippikipou2531]

Like literally Khalilah how can you and Shawnaci be the most pretty women I ve ever seen and still be so down to earth, funny and sweet?? 💞💞💞💞💞

[@melodycollis]

Omg girl your vlogs are the cutest thing! Loved this 🥰💓✨

[@khalilahd.]

Thank you so much!! ☺️

[@dianaisme]

The Bright Side Running Club sounds interesting so I started a free sample of it on Fable! I might have to add to my tbr

[@readwith_emma]

AHHH I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THE SUMMER SEEKERS! I HAVE THAT BOOK AND ITS SO GOOD AND HEARTWARMING! love you Khalilah!

[@gjhwebb]

I just love your vlogs, they really lift me up ❤️

[@amberspade15]

[@khalilahd.]

Yay! Thank you!

[@keneesha]

Yes got that bag yesterday!!!

[@malloryanderson-x1o]

The Summer of Broken Rules is so good, I totally recommend.

[@annnaj3]

What kind of music do you listen to while reading? I’ve been needing recommendations

[@PromisingPod]

I used to spend years walking around Barnes & Noble, back in the old days when it was popular to go there. I actually most overcommercialized version of B&N. They have too many toys and knickknacks. Just bring more books, and more interesting books will be published and the big space can be used for that. I wish that physical products were more valued. We need things we can hold onto and pass down. Thanks Khalilah, I love how much you've grown, since I first saw your name and videos. Thanks for showing us your love of learning and books.

[@alysha.k2011]

Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute is very, well - CUTE! haha Talia also did a great job illustrating anxiety

[@michelleburns8849]

The Seven Year Slip is a great romance read! There’s a time travel element, you just gotta turn off your logical science brain and roll with it 😁 The relationship with the main character and her aunt is what really got me hooked, it’s beautiful!

[@bookish110]

I adore the library it's one of my favorite places ever!

[@tarahunt547]

❤❤❤Just picked up Can't Hurt Me from my local library!!!❤❤❤

[@mpark24]

A romance rec that I just came across, “The Kiss Countdown” by Etta Eason…super cute!

[@johanna_0.0_]

thank you 💞

[@Maria_not_Mariah]

fun fact: the book you picked up (priory of the orange tree) is the same length as Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix. It just looks longer cuz of the formatting

[@enie5029]

The cutest girl in the universe. Gretting from germany 🤗 I hope you have an amazing day/week!

Haha stop! You are so kind 🫶🏽 wishing you the best ☺️

[@bevzurkammer4042]

I utilize my towns library every week. They really have a great selection and current books. 😊

[@khalilahd.]

I totally agree!

[@chrissymissy11]

I love that book The Do Over. I reading To Sir with Love it's a very good book.

[@emilyrose7423]

So excited to watch this video!! Maybe I’m easily influenced, but I’m already on the third Harry Potter book because of you, and I just bought Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine 😂😅

[@AveragePJOstan]

I wish I had a sibling like you your energy is absolutely amazing. Also there is going to be a second book in the Cerulean Chronicles called somewhere beyond the sea it comes out September 10th 2024.

[@dylanmason7828]

Love the video! And also the 2nd book in the House in the Cerulean Sea series releases September 10th.

[@brenna_ma1nord]

I fell in love with reading when I was 8, and I'm 14 now, and I'm in a reading slump, so do yall have any recommendations to get me out of it?❤❤❤

[@samarycastro]

Maximum Ride by James Patterson! So funny and an interesting plot. Also it’s YA 👍

[@brenna_ma1nord]

​@samarycastro Thank You so much😊😊😊😊

New subscriber here 👋🏾. You remind me of larryreads and you seem so cool. Bringing your viewers along is such an immersive experience so thank you for that 21:15 The way I said I would go to the library today but didn't, is wild.

[@tiffanyjanel_]

and this bowwwww....adorable! 💞💞

[@yanie3000]

I have that exact same bag from Barnes. It's so cute!

[@giuliabricot]

The Night Circus ! Loved this book ! You need to focus during the reading tho because the temporality changes at every chapter

[@reneerogers3663]

"The Summer Seekers" sounds good. I can picture a movie with Jane Fonda as the 80 year old, Julia Roberts as the daughter and Aubrey Plaza as the driving companion. Another one to add to the list.

[@khalilahd.]

Haha yes!!

[@JavellAshanti]

This summer will be different is a nice, fluffy romance! By Carley Fortune. I just finished that and I loveee!

[@khalilahd.]

I'll check it out!

[@MermaidGypsyTalkThatTalk]

I just got this bag too! It popped out at me! Love it! ❤

[@lenadublin3453]

I have that same Barnes tote and I love it!

[@msemb9069]

Loveeee the library! I take my littles once every 2 weeks. Did you know you can request books too? That was a game changer when I found out.

[@KeturahsKaleidoscope]

I got the same tote bag and what you're so lucky!

[@camillewalters9521]

I think you should start with a library book because those have a time limit until you have to return them(The Summer Seekers to be specific)

[@khalilahd.]

Oooo this is smart! Thank you!

Libraries are the best. In my area of NJ I am lucky to have 2 independent libraries and also a branch of the County. I'm there all the time.

[@buk2089]

omg it’s such an early 2000m’s mtv vibes

[@savannah58]

I just borrowed the audiobooks "The Bright Side Running Club, and The Summer Seekers" from Hoopla. Sounds like two good reads

[@samarycastro]

Back when I lived in California I used to walk to my local library ALL the time! Now that I live in Puerto Rico I REALLY really miss it 😩😭 You should definitely take advantage of such a useful perk! Like I’ve come to appreciate little things like many book stores and libraries! Out here in PR we BARELY have book stores and what little libraries there are have such slim pickings and also don’t have nearly as many English books as I would like. Now I just use my Kindle Paperwhite SE and use KU. That’s my saving grace! 😅

[@Sarah-cd1mj]

Just saw in the background Scott Lang from Ant Man, his book! Lol 😊 around 11:46 anyway 😅 love this book buying vlog❤❤ new subbie

[@dianaisme]

I visisted my library last friday and borrowed Educated by Tara Westover. I love my library and I would go more often if I didn't get really anxious

I love your Outfit! So pretty 🍡🌸🎀

[@khalilahd.]

Thank you so much!!

[@miaevans5354]

Okay but that super thick one The Priory of the Orange Tree? I just finished it and it’s literally my favourite book ever, which surprised me as I’ve not read fantasy for so long and am for sure a romance/fiction girly on the regular. I’d highly recommend!

[@khalilahd.]

Really?? Okay I might have to go back then!
