*cozy* fall bookstore vlog🕯️🧸🍂spend the day book shopping at barnes & noble with me + HUGE book haul

[@michalinapietrzak4175]

There is nothing more satisfying than watching other people go and splurge on books when I am on a self-imposed book ban because I am fighting for financial responsibility. I am so envious of that book haul.

[@ambergris710]

The main reason I like Khalilah’s videos!

[@MORRAffirmative]

I felt this comment so much 🥺 I’m also on a book buying ban for the same reason & I hate it so much 😮‍💨 so many new books & I have to sit back & live vicariously through my fav book tubers.

[@Mamijae__]

Me too girl me too 😭

[@danielbarrios.]

like why is one book $20 from barnes..i gotta rely on z library or amazon and target when sales are going on

[@AnaClaudiaBertiniCiencia]

You should be proud of yourself - all of you who are fighting against financial irresponsibility. It’s not easy, we tend to blame ourselves for the situation… but it is a RELIEF when things get back to normal. Be proud!

[@evelyn.fleming]

“We’re only getting 3 books. Okay maybe five. I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW MANY BOOKS WE GOT!” Lolll

[@khalilahd.]

you didn't have to call me out like that 😩😭 🫣

[@agwacero]

she's just like me fr LOLLL

[@evelyn.fleming]

@@agwacero frfr

[@BAW47]

Lmao 😂😂😂

[@jameeshaah]

lol I said “guuurl put that back” out loud when you mentioned the candle price 😂 😅

[@khalilahd.]

😂😂 😂 😂 see if only you were there!

[@josephine1622]

“Smells like bad decision “ took me oooooout 😭😭🤣🤣🤣

[@khalilahd.]

😭 😭😭

[@miinty9398]

i’m excited for the fall vlogs it just feels too soon 😭 but ngl i’m excited for the fantasy books

[@lyriclove011]

I feel the same !!! I had to look up the official first day of fall so I can see if I’m trippin! I’ve never heard of August being deemed as fall in my life lol

[@NiijiGoddessFitness]

Fall starts at the end of September 💗

[@Saint_Florence]

I had to google when fall starts too!

[@khalilahd.]

haha yesss! me too!

[@Dana-r3x6q]

Assistant to the villain is soo great. It‘s cozy and has a lot of humor and charm. Soo excited to read Apprentice to the villain!

[@khalilahd.]

Can't wait to read it!

[@marisagarcia9227]

Thank goodness I’m not the only one getting in fall mode this early. 🍂 summer can get out of here already.

[@khalilahd.]

haha exactly!

[@nn47301]

Girl, $26 for a candle?! Get a pumpkin spice Glade candle from the grocery store and call it a day!! 😂😂

[@khalilahd.]

you're so right 😭 I couldn't help it!

[@poppycalliope]

The ghost mugs are perfect 👻😍 I'm so excited for crisp fall days, spent reading on the couch with a warm cup of tea! 22:37 I died 🤣

[@khalilahd.]

ugh such a vibe! literally can't wait 😭💜

[@Brianna42424]

“The Neighbor Favor” is one of my favorites that I’ve read this year. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 🙌🏾💜

[@khalilahd.]

omg now I can't wait to read it!

[@MissMyka-b1w]

The money lady almost took me out! I laughed SO hard!

[@khalilahd.]

😭💜

[@nn47301]

Start utilizing the local library more and you won't have to worry about paying for books. Plus, I saw the video where you went to your local library. Girl, your library is banging!!!!!

[@khalilahd.]

haha you're so right! I will do better 💜

[@AlyssaLopez-n1c]

I love not paying for my books but I also love paying for my books and walking out bnn with that brown bag 🙃

[@mar.v.]

As someone who lives in a country where there’s not a reliable library system or variety in the few libraries that exist, I will never understand why some Americans choose to purchase books when they could just lend them from their local library and save space, money and the planet. I understand if you can’t find the book second hand but even then you can ask a friend for it (if we’re being honest these book tubers have tons of) and helping a trading economy rather than promoting consumerism. If you like it, THEN go ahead and buy it. But then again, one could argue it makes for a good vlog and views- although I personally would be more interested in library content.

[@geetkarmakar5798]

​@mar.v. I totally get your point but there's something about owning books that gives a high. I personally underline, annotate and draw in my books like a lot !! It's like an obsession! Just like someone owning figurines or game sets or even like clothes !! I don't think there's anything wrong in it !

[@BAW47]

​​@@mar.v.I do understand. I try to buy my books from a local used book store or use thrift book which is also gently used. With that being said, some of us fall in love with the book. We want to keep it forever (or at least for now). Its the same reason I can't use a Kindle or audiobook....I need to feel the book in my hand, I need to smell the pages. I make a lot of sacrifices in other areas of my life and I try really hard to do my part for mother earth. Just for an example, I am a recovering alcoholic. I have 6 years and 8 months of continuous sobriety. When I got sober and wasn't spending all of my time at the bar, I needed to find some hobbies. I fell in love with books all over again (of course that fell by the wayside when I was drinking). So, I joined a small bookclub. It makes me happy ❤

[@lindahuson8451]

I love the Fall vibes! For me…Fall starts in September…all my decorations come out…

[@khalilahd.]

haha I like the way you think Linda cause same 😊💜

[@nffall]

There's like one full month left for fall season to begin 😭

[@khalilahd.]

why are you so loud?? 😭💜

[@nffall]

@@khalilahd. 🤣

[@victoriakohler627]

Libby has saved me so much money. Borrowing books for the win. And its great cause if I love the book and want to read it again, I can then look for them in used book stores when i go to them ❤😊

[@agwacero]

the candle, the coffee, the ignoring of the 3-5 book limit LOL same sis

[@wildbird5244]

it's the way i thought this was an old video cuz the title says "fall bookstore vlog". like im not done with summer and khalilah is already in fall lol. Like... girl why the rush 😢😢

[@khalilahd.]

haha my bad bestie 😭

[@levinia333]

girl yes!!!! finally, when i read assistant to the villain last year the whole time i was like this is giving shrek but i heard no one else making that comparison lmao

[@jessless1822]

I love ready player one! It is a really great book, way better than the movie

[@christinatorres522]

The neighbor favor is soooo good. That Sherlock Holmes edition is gorgeous!

[@hannahphillips500]

radio silence is one of my favorite books of all time!!!

[@Goddess_Isis]

The Night Circus is my favorite book. I reread it every fall!!! I am so happy you are going to read it. I feel like you either LOVE it or you don't. Interested to see what camp you fall into.

[@Goddess_Isis]

awh we didnt get Night Circus. Next Time 🤞 🤞

[@khalilahd.]

next time for sure!

[@ClaireAlexander-g2l]

You have the most fun personality ever, you’re my favorite booktuber. I’m so excited for fall too girlieeee🍂🍁 Also, if you ever find yourself in Denver Colorado, you should go to the book store Second and Charles. I went while I was on vacation, and their prices on gently used books are incredible.

[@sandisullivan7006]

I love your personality and enthusiasm for reading. Great book selection. Happy reading 📚

[@khalilahd.]

Thank you so much! happy reading 🫶

[@Courtney6]

I don’t know what’s better- the books or how happy you are.

[@teeresagai]

This was a great video! So fun. I am in my fall reading mood already September 1st starts all my fall reads. Mystery, Thrillers, Fantasy and maybe 1 or 2 fun romance to lighten the mood. Happy Fall and Happy Reading 🎃🍂🍁☕️📚

[@sabrieljimison]

I was so excited when you picked up The Night Circus! My favorite book ever, you will fall in love and the ending will leave your mouth open for days

[@fullmoon7656]

Me too, I was so excited and I thought she had bought it 🥹

[@syd2765]

That outfit is so cute and looks ✨STUNNING✨ on you!!

[@khalilahd.]

omg thank you! 🫶

[@jaiyasmith6389]

Assistant to the Villain is a great book! The banter is awesome and the plot is pretty intriguing 😄!

[@khalilahd.]

Cannot wait to read it!

[@Tay-wj9et]

Radio Silence is one of my favourite books! It isn't actually a romance, it's a really good study of platonic relationships with some great queer rep.

[@divinetividad]

Khalilah, please do an entire Harry Potter video. Like going to the Harry Potter store in New York and doing a haul of everything you bought. 😁😁😁🪄

[@khalilahd.]

wait this is such a good idea! I've done a few Harry Potter videos before but I feel like something like this could be fun!

[@pretentioussunshine]

Radio Silence is one of my favorite books of all time!! I've read almost everything by Alice Oseman at this point but I still think Radio Silence is her at her best!! I would also like to say, more for myself and others that need to hear it, the book community makes it really easy to make you think that you need to be a book collector, in order to be a reader. But collecting books is expensive and material objects are not worth putting yourself in financially bad spots for. You can read so many great books through free resources and not having to stress about money will always feel better in the long run, that having a book case full of unread books. (I love your bookstore vlogs💕 I just wanted to rationalize this a bit for myself)

[@chocolateoreo6489]

I hope you have a lovely fall and time reading this coming season Khalilah❤

[@khalilahd.]

thanks bestie! same to you 🫶

[@TexasGirl-gy3dz]

Rock, paper, scissors is really good. Fast paced read with some good plot twists.

[@me-la]

Yay!! I’m so here for all the cozy fall vlogs! Also aleast you’re actually reading the books you buy. My books get read once my hyper fixation period on something else is over. I feel like a kid in the candy store in every store 😩 It’s a struggle but we’re muddling through here 😆😤

[@khalilahd.]

haha no I feel that 😭

[@ZetaSPEDucator]

“The Neighbor Favor” was a summer highlight for me. Kristen did an amazing job with this one.

[@khalilahd.]

can't wait to read it!

[@emirivlogs]

I haven’t looked at how many subs you have in a really long time and I was really shocked to see 100k because when I subbed you had like 5k😭😭😭🤍🤍

[@khalilahd.]

haha you're an OG, I love you 😭❤️

[@AnamCara-vh6xo]

This video was so relatable 😂😂😂 going in with a budget and then just getting everything I want ! And you looked so excited when your realised you could get all the books you wanted 😂😂😂😂core memories right there!

[@jessicadix1317]

I love Murdle! There’s a bit of a learning curve with how to read the clues but once you do a couple it makes more sense 😊enjoy 🎉

[@khalilahd.]

Good to know! Can't wait to try it myself 😊

[@ReneeW2024]

Absolutely loved Strange Sally Diamond!

[@insanebutterfly3439]

Ready Player One is sooo good. One of my all time favourites.

You are so relatable 😂 I couldn't stop laughing when you kept changing your budget before doing away with it, I've read ready player one and I loved it so much! I haven't read the second one though

[@Partiesbydiamondj]

I cannot wait to see what books we read for spooky season in the bookclub. I need a reason to go book shopping 😂

[@hollieb2547]

I literally just subscribed I’m excited to see videos on book lovers and I was wondering what motivated you to love reading so much.

Omg, you are my spirit animal!!!! I seem to only read mystery, thriller, suspense. Im currently reading Whisper Network. Its starting pretty slow, so im hoping it picks up.

[@ee.elsie.e]

[@joa2332]

17:28 those are the four novels Arthur Conan Doyle released about Sherlock Holmes, but he also released like 46 short stories but the novels are amazing, i really love Sherlock Holmes

[@ednalee906]

Your video made me want to go to Barnes and Noble. Rock Paper Scissors was wonderful, I hope that you love it as much as I did.

[@jaellelaguerre9102]

Just stumbled upon this video and I gotta say I suscribed half way through it. I love that you like multiple genres as I do too, so hi!!

[@stopbeingana-hole4151]

I love how much you adore books.

[@eszterszentivanyi2456]

Radio silence! It is one of my favourite books of all time, the best of alice oseman’s imo. However, definitely not a romance! That’s one of the reasons why it’s so good though, I hope you enjoy it

[@abzster]

ooh I loved The Night Circus. I read The Neighbor Favor earlier this summer and it was cute. also, can we just call these Late Summer vlogs, I"m still trying to make it to the beach lol. fingers crossed it's sunny next week!

[@LetsGoRavens]

Your edits are HILARIOUS!! 🤣

[@shalidarenee84]

I love going mug shopping at TJ Maxx! Especially for fall/Halloween mugs! And those mugs are the cutest! Ugh looks like it’s time to make a TJ maxx run soon 😫😅

[@khalilahd.]

[@itsvorny]

Omg I did not know ready player one was a book too! I remember watching the film ages ago and really enjoying it!

[@Myaaabelll]

Do you go bookstore thrifting, or to used bookstores? More books for less... curious, that would be a good video

[@leenakoponen5156]

This! And also going to the library.

[@khalilahd.]

I do but I need to do it more!

[@scentedlikerose2931]

[@thackblanos]

With the Cheers extended flex 😆 🤣, K wasn't even remotely close to being born when that show was out.......... respect your flex as always.

[@AmyAbd-z2l]

ahh i get so excited everytime khalilah posts ee!!

[@khalilahd.]

💜

[@Silverraine1]

I usually buy ebooks so watching book shopping vlogs is so fun! Btw the Sherlock Holmes book just collects all 4 of the sherlock novels, leaving out all the short stories. it's not meant to be a collection of "the really good ones" 😂

[@Sapphire3]

I love the puzzle book. I’m only on volume 1 solving the third one.

[@ffeecity.]

girl ur skinnn is glowingggggg like seriously I need to know ur secret

[@lost.in.prose.]

Aaaah! I loveeeee bookstore vlogs by youuu❤❤❤❤❤

[@lealoread6774]

Yesss to the Neighbor Favor!!! It ‘s the first in a series and the author is from NJ!!

[@khalilahd.]

[@rachaelbird9250]

I L❤️ve the Night Circus, brilliant book, 5⭐

[@andreabailey676]

Nice haul. I love buying myself a new book but I get most of my reads from the library apps.

[@khalilahd.]

Love that! I definitely want to utilize my library more

[@ambershalom33]

I bought the night circus last week for 50 cents in great condition at a local thrift store that supports pregnant and battered women. This book is on my TBR list for Fall also.

[@kadibooks]

Summer weather doing the most 😂😂. This was a lovely bookshopping vlog,

[@khalilahd.]

Haha right? It was the worst this year 😭

[@mbranche4234]

I just added Rock, Paper, Scissors to my library tbr yesterday...🎉🤸🏾🎆. I love a Sherlock Holmes book. It does put me in a fall mood. Currently reading The Dead Cat Tails Assassins by P. Djeli Clark. Loving it!!!!

[@khalilahd.]

love this for you and I totally agree!

[@MsCamiJMU]

I wish Barnes priced matched bc the same books are typically cheaper at Target Walmart and Half Priced books 📚

[@khalilahd.]

ugh I know!!

[@marial673]

Everyday I had plans or days off work RAIN.. the rest of the week 80 and 90° weather smh lol so I get ittt

[@AnaClaudiaBertiniCiencia]

I’m always frustrated to the fact that when I live the seasons are not well set - I mean, of course we have all four, but the changes in weather and trees, for example, are not that proheminent. Oh, also: “Strange Sally Diamond” is… ‘strange’, I’d say. 😂 And the book of puzzles is by my side right now by coincidence.

[@khalilahd.]

haha no I feel that. Jersey is kind of the same way lol

[@taliskabelund2604]

Please please please do an “every book on my physical tbr” video

[@zoeszlips9373]

Just read the first 3 chapters of Somewhere Beyond the Sea, and it is so good! It starts off slow, but it as just as good as HITCS!

[@alethea.]

Girllll you have to read Octavia Butler’s “Lilith’s Brood” series!!! So immersive with a touch of romance and just an awesome story
