Update: I had no idea about Jordan Peterson’s views and neither did my brother 😣 we will definitely be doing better research on authors from here on out 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@dianaisme]

Wait what are his views?

[@claudiajesus5565]

Hey Khalilah, I'm a MD and an avid reader writting you from Portugal! Really love your vlogs and book recommendations. On the Jordan Petterson point you don't need to explain yourself on reading his books. I mean, he has his political position well defined as a lot of people may know, and whilst I may not agree on every single issue he comes with I mean... he should be recognized for how easy it seems to be for him, through a lot of practice I imagine, to put his thoughts into words and knowing how to discuss a lot of topics. I, for myself, now know what I agree or dont because I read his books, and I believe I grew a lot with that. Hope you continue to share your readings regardless :) will be following you to know what comes next!

[@remythebat]

i absolutely adore your response to this, when i heard that you were reading 12 rules for life my heart dropped because in my experience that is THE gateway to the J.P. rabbit hole. I immediately went to the comment section being like girl noooo only to be greeted with the best comment ever. Thank you for listening!! For those who may also be unaware but J.P. has spiraled over the years to being an extreme alt-right figure, as well as making his claim to fame on rejecting trans acceptance as a university professor at UofT. It's important to be mindful of the people we consume content from. You can always choose to separate the work from the artists but it should be an educated decision! Happy reading everyone :)

[@evikapzamalova1554]

i don't think u should explain yourself. if someone is intrigued by a certain author or book, hell yeah buy it, say that u bought it, u are a book tube channel. i don't focus on that, but on your funny and relatable personality. u have a brother, which recommended it, so what. i personally thought, holy cow they have a good relationship with one another and recommend books to eachother , not OMG HE RECOMMENDED WHAT. yall that made the petterson comments chill

[@supersol3937]

Hi! Don’t worry Khalilah, his books and shorts are very interesting! I find that reading people that aren’t as accepted gives us a bigger perspective. Don’t feel like you need to apologize for agreeing with a problematic figure, he does say interesting things that make you think in different ways. One should never apologize for expanding their horizons.

[@skeletonflower5252]

Carmilla is so underrated and yet its an important book for its time. To write about a saphic vampire back then amazes me. I used to love watching the youtube series carmilla as a kid. To me she is everything a vampire should be.

GIRL I AM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR GETTING MISERY! I am the Misery person from the comments and 1. I almost fainted when you mentioned me, 2. If it won’t be an at least 4.5 star read, I promise to buy and send you your next Stephen King. But listen however much crazy and Misery obsessed I sound, it blew my mind.

[@miaevans5354]

A book I’m currently reading that I absolutely adore is “what you are looking for is in the library” by Michiko Aoyama. It’s a very sweet book that revolves around a librarian in Tokyo who knows what you want / need in life and offers you a book to help you get there, and you follow four individuals as they find this librarian and embark on a huge change in their life via the book they’ve been recommended. It’s so wholesome and very cosy, about learning new things and that it’s never too late to go for what you want in life!

[@Mandy.Loves2Read]

I LOVE your channel! I think you’re better than the other well known book vloggers like Haley Pham and Destiny Sidwell!! You pick such a different variety of books that it makes it not boring or repetitive. You’re so relatable and sweet! I love when you said you blacked out in B&N! That’s totally me.

I just finished "It" by Stephen King a couple of days ago and I really really recommend reading that book. I've always been intimidated by its length and it really took me a couple of weeks to get through it. But - I'm sooo glad I read it. It's just stunning. It's so much more than just a horror novel. It's about friendship and growing up and it really touched my heart.

T Kingfisher is one of my all time favorite authors!! I hope you love What Moves the Dead! I highly recommend reading Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allen Poe before reading it however to get the full vibes. I'm living vicariously through you, since I try to not buy books unless I've read/loved them because I have such limited space and tend to drop books so fast (my library is the real mvp), but would looooove to do that kind of damage in Barnes

[@UnheimlichEcho]

I just finished Carmilla yesterday! I actually did some research because I was interested in it and by chance Carmilla is the first written Vampire book! I say by chance because there are 2 poems of vampires that came out before Carmilla. The very first one just mentions a vampire in passing and isn't part of the plot of the poem and the second one is pretty much the same plot of Carmilla, it being a lesbian vampire. I think you're gonna like it I highly recommend listening to a playlist that goes with the book also I will say how it was written is kinda tricky to get into because of it being written in 1871.

[@andia.x]

what's the poems names?

[@UnheimlichEcho]

@@andia.x The names are Thalaba The Destroyer by Robert Southey (1801) and Christbel by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1816). Also I went back looking for these names and even though I found the text that I copied in my notepad on my phone, saying the first poem was the first mention of vampires in english literature, though the first vampire poem ever was Der Vampire (The vampire) by Heinrich August Ossenfelder (1748). Also the first vampire books started in 1819 starting with the unfinished Fragment of a Novel by Lord Byron who was in the same writers club and wrote this story in the summer of 1816 at the same ghost writing contest where Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein/The Modern Prometheus. Lord Byron's unfinished work inspired The Vampyre by John Polidori's (1819) and there's also The Black Vampyre by Uriah D'Arcy (1819). So I messed up in my research but Carmilla (1871) might not be the first Vampire book but it's still regarded as the first lesbian vampire book!

[@ElleBeatrice]

This was too cute! The pumpkins came out nicely 😍 You could probably find those blankets at a dollar store or Walmart 🤎

[@styleniko4339]

We have the same taste for books!! Most of the books you bought are what I want to read in the future and what I’ve read already! Especially, I’m excited that you picked up Sayaka Murata’s “Convenience Store Woman”, which I read in Japanese, as I’m Japanese and I’m sure it’s going to be an interesting read for you! I don’t know how the book is translated in English, but I hope it is translated well. It is quintessentially Japanese!
