*cozy* bookstore vlog☀️🍉🌊come book shopping at barnes with me + new bookstore & HUGE book haul!

[@yanie3000]

The B&N employees were so cool/kind to give their recs on camera! They all seem lovely! Was low-key waiting for our girl Victoria to reveal herself lol

[@khalilahd.]

Ugh I know!! I picked the ONE day she wasn’t working 😔

[@lilliewyant4086]

I just love you and your channel. I am 71 and not able to get out. It was a joy to go along with you to shop. I really am grateful to you. Thank you for sharing. You are such a joy. I love to read. I have read 62 books so far this year. Take care. God bless.

[@khalilahd.]

Wow thank you so much for taking the time to comment Lillie! This truly just warmed my heart and I’m so honored to be able to bring a bit of joy to your day 🩷 thank you for watching, I hope to continue to be someone you enjoy supporting!

[@queerantine69]

I have read only six😅😢😅

[@luc1asmr]

You are so sweet I hope you are doing well and wish you the happiest life

[@professordavid2008]

Ms. Lillie, isn’t Khalilah fun or what! Here I am as a school teacher in the Caribbean enjoying her enthusiasm for literacy as she brings her own personality to KZbin. Let’s continue wishing her the best.

[@RunningTowardSunshine]

The Dostoyevsky book is a classic! It’s about sin and the struggle we all bare. I think there is a chapter in that book that mimics a conversation we would have with Christ. It’s either that book or another one of his!! I’ve never read the book in full but that one chapter I just mentioned.

[@shinyswondrouslibrary]

asking the people at the bookstore for their recommendations...is just the most wholesome thing ever ❤

[@annacvoa]

girl you not knowing who fyodor dostoyevsky is is so mind blowing to me. here in czechia we learn about him since like 5th grade.

It's one of my favs. Did you know in July another book will be coming out in that series? I'm really intrigued.

The invisible life of addie larue is my favorite book of all time and I'm so glad you picked it up!!

[@dobetterwithchristian4472]

Be sure to read The Friend Zone before The Happy Ever After Playlist. They're interconnected standalones, but you catch all the easter eggs that way. Abby's 3rd act breakups are the only ones I like. Lol The miscommunication can grate though. Still love here!

[@MrBrickBoss13]

your bookstore vlogs bring me so much happiness! thanks to you and booktok for brining me back to reading !

[@cassandrafortin4684]

Addie Larue was my favorite book of 2023. I listened to the audiobook strictly on my autumn walks, it’s was the most magical experience I had with an audiobook. I HIGHLY recommend it. ❤

Indigo is like the Barnes and Noble of Canada! I love it there, they have so many cute things ❤

I didn’t know Indigo is also in the US! I’m from Canada and that’s my favourite store to be in. It’s such a vibe.

[@tessib.1043]

Wow!! I just got anxious of how many books you got, but they were fantastic choices, so I wrote some of them down. I love going book shopping with you!

[@khalilahd.]

Haha thanks girlie! I’m honestly so excited for these books I have a feeling they’re going to be amazing 🤍

[@ella-hope-222]

I loveeeee your style of music with captions instead of a voiceover! It’s so serene. It reminds me of my comfort cooking KZbinr, Imamu room.

[@TashaxMack]

Addie Larue is an emotional but good read. The vibe of that second store was everything!!!

[@maliastuckinabook]

THE SIGN FOR HOME!!!! I really liked it!! So so so glad to see you pick that up and share about it!! It definitely needs to be more hyped!! The author is a sign language interpreter ☺️🤟🏼

[@jennifermanian1420]

Guncle is very good and warm-hearted. A good read. Ireally enjoyed the Discovrty of Witches. There are theee books in thst series. I just heard a fourth is coming out in July.

Wow, thank you 🥹🩷

[@lorijohnston4311]

New subscriber! I love your excitement and energy over books. As a former Barnes employee (many moons ago), I still thrill over going in the store and losing myself in books -- and I also loved giving recommendations when customers would ask. Indigo is an absolutely gorgeous store 👀👀👀 Whoever designed their layout and handles their product placement is a genius. Can't wait to hear what you thought of your amazing book haul! 📚📚💕💕

[@amydwaah]

Loved this! I hope you enjoy Mrs. Dalloway. It was the beginning of my Virgjnia Woolf obsession ( one of many), I have Braiding Sweetness (haven't read it yet).Crime and Punishment and A Discovery of Witches are on my TBR. Side note: Song of Solomon is one of my favorite Toni Morrison books. Thank you for sharing and giving me new books to check out. Let the reading begin!

[@UnheimlichEcho]

You have to read wicked!! It goes into more detail about Oz and even though I personally DNF it I am planning to pick it up but it's a good book. Especially that cover! that cover is gorgeous. Also I'm with that last women The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store made me cry at the end.

[@rachelbolick]

Hey Friend, Happy Sunday. I love that you enjoy going to the book store so much. I don’t go to the book store often but when I do I enjoy it as well. It’s so hard to pick only a couple of books to buy. 😅😊 I love that they have a Harry Potter section, that proves how interesting those books actually are to those who don’t know. 😅😊

[@squidwardtentacles7144]

I love the way that woman described Addie LaRue. I was never interested in reading cuz I thought I would like it until she gave it that description. I loved the Midnight Library. So maybe I’ll like Addie LaRue too.😂

[@xela_a]

ooo yes an unhauling video!!! or bookshelf building 👀👀

Woohoo!! Your videos bring me joy! I love how you winked at us saying that we are absolutely not going to buy anything at Indigo! Too funny!

I love bookstore vlogs so mutch because I live in Germany and only read in English and the German book stores have maybe a selection from 20 books in English , that’s why I go Never book shopping And I love to see inspiration to me to read .

I didn’t realize there was Indigo in the US, thought they were just in Canada. I always love a good bookstore vlog! I live out in a rural area so the nearest B&N is almost an hour away.

[@mariasliwinski6210]

Hi Khalilah, what a wholesome and awesome video! Just by watching it I felt my serotonin raising😂 it's so nice to follow your reads, I feel like your literary taste coincides with mine quite a lot. I love it how you enjoy literary fiction and classics and mysteries and romance and I feel like the books you chose and enjoy are the ones I do or would have as well❤ Crime and punishment will surely be an interesting read for you, that was a mandatory literature in school for me but as an adult it's even better to read. And about the unsolicited advice of Vera Wong, there is a great *absolutely hilarious* book by the same author called Dial A for Aunties, so atmospheric, giggle out loud and just a good, easy not-very-romantic read. I've also got my first Virginia Wolf book, so looking forward to reading her, right after Sylvia Plath. Wish you a great day and enjoy all of your new picks. Greetings and love from Germany
