Honored to have inspired a video! 🥰 Love being a bestie!

[@inestome9579]

“oh pious..get f***ed” *eye roll* I LOVE THIS SIDE OF KAYLA

[@madisond97]

Your sheer terror when bad bunny played made me cackle

[@dobetterwithchristian4472]

I watched that part twice lol

[@reneeelich4893]

it really made the video! lol

[@emilychristine212]

Omg it got me too 😂

[@SavidgeReads]

'Oh pious... get f**ked!' Lol. Iconic. I hadn't heard of Colorfle, I think it is going to be my new obsession. I am trying to resist all the others I have yet to play. Great video as always, the Bad Bunny reaction was HILARIOUS!

[@cosmosbtwnpages]

I highly recommend "Frankenstein in Baghdad" by Iraqi author Ahmed Saadawi. It's a horror novel with black humor!

[@Lovebooks0312]

Every moment of watching is worth it !!! And speaking of discoveries, after two days of searching, I came across the perfect read on Liliveria - Mental Magic. This book truly fascinated me !! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for inspiration. Thank you for the video...

[@tracy2919]

I love that this is also a recommendation for games to add to my daily game regiment

[@WishAtElevenEleven]

Rouge is the perfect recommendation for a “red” book. There is so much red symbolism in the book, not just the title ❤ 🥀

[@Romcommunist]

The first thing I thought of with the word pious is the handmaids tale 🙈

[@FaeryLaume]

That's a good one for it.

[@ffiontill5924]

The way I screamed when I heard the bass! Eminem!! 😂

[@low-key2520]

The daily spotle jump scare is so much fun 😂

[@kyestrella]

this is what i NEEDED being in the middle of one of the worst work weeks of my life loooool thank yoooouuuu 🤍

[@BooksandLala]

oh noooo I hope it starts to look up for you soon! ❤

[@hannahandherstories]

This is SUCH a fun concept and video! I loved seeing recs that might not have come to mind except for a video like this.

[@Archerylvr99]

You would love Murdle!! It’s a daily mini murder case that you solve. It gives clue vibes. There’s even a few volumes of it published!

[@nannybells]

big fan of daily games w/ kayla 🤩

[@teresalynnmcdonald]

Hi Kayla! I’ve been watching your content for years and love it. You’ve inspired me to read a lot more these past few years. Thanks for all you do ☺️📚❤

[@BooksandLala]

thank you so much for saying so teresa!! ❤this makes me so happy!!

[@joshuamarimpietri7708]

As a geography nerd, thank you so much for introducing me to Worldle!!

[@faye13l]

A really good book for 'data' would be Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Pérez

[@anaos1004]

I loved the concept of this video! I kinda wanted to see you play more of some of these games, though 😅

[@rylie2403]

I went to a talk Mona Awad did yesterday and she announced she’s working on a prequel/sequel to bunny!!!! 🎉💕 I needed to share the excitement!!!!

[@BooksandLala]

I'm *so* terrified of this book existing, but I'm stoked for everyone else to read it and spoil it for me hahahahha

[@bailey3645]

A recommendation for Iraq is Frankenstein in Baghdad! Super interesting retelling and the writing is beautiful

[@samilybamily]

Love love love this video and whole concept. Excited to see more of these!

[@jessicabright5100]

In the last game the “oh” after getting each one wrong reminded me of them tiktok family where addie asks rustyn is she loves him and she says “oh” after he says no so quickly every time lol

[@awildernessofbooks]

Supporting Kayla’s home ownership dreams one month at a time 💰

[@MoJordanReads]

I love that the idea for this mentioned The Raven Boys and you also got that into the video. I definitely need another one of these someday in the future

[@FaeryLaume]

And for "bath" my first thought was Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen because they spend a lot of time in the book in Bath, England.

[@aniabreak624]

This was so funny. Never seen anything similar in the yt space. Something fresh in the oversaturated digital world. It was time well spent. Thank you.

[@ShanReads]

This was super fun! Please do it again. The recs were great and I enjoyed watching you work thru the different puzzles/games

[@user-ou6ll9xy9h]

As a person who loves games and books, I loved this video. Thanks, Goddess!

[@billiep1603]

I’m using this video as a daily game recommendation list lol. I think Spotle is my new fave

[@tanellenash7383]

The first book that came to mind for me for “Delay” is The Odyssey

[@beckyduff]

I love contexto but also hate it. Like, it's a table, but it's not furniture. HOW???!!! Love this idea & I am so glad I was there for the live show running through these games with you :)

[@shreyabooked9309]

This was such a fun viseo, really enjoyed it!

[@Ellereads1]

You have the best ideas and executions of videos ever, it's always fun and interesting

[@Cafe_Scribbles]

Love finding new games! Fun concept 😊

[@laurlovesliterature]

love watching your mind work!!!!

[@shannahsmith6276]

The variety in the games made this super interesting and also recommended a bunch of games that I should be playing lol

[@artistic_smirks9736]

I would LOVEEE a few more videos like this!! It was really fun!!! And I did take some screenshots of the book recs!!

[@sylspren]

this concept is so fun!!! pls do more of these videos in the future

[@kerisbookishcorner2864]

This definitely benefited me because I now have so many more games to go try out! 🤣 Plus it was fun to watch too 😊

[@MindyDontCayer]

I love this video and video concept! Please do it more!!!

[@kittuffincafe]

Oh man I love the hike! I read it in 2016 and it stuck with me, want to re read 😊 loved this video!!

[@onmalsshelf4800]

Your videos with the daily games always remind me to play them for a few days and then I forget the exist until you remind me with another video or in a bestie live 🤣

[@cherylNA]

This was a blast to watch! And I learned about so many new games to play. 😃

[@irinalysak4920]

That's a really fun idea for a video, I enjoyed watching it!

[@attkyesi]

this was such a hilarious video I loved it! Kayla idk why but I feel like you would have a lot of fun in Mexico 😂❤. Thanks for the book recs!!

[@xxLeMoNiCeExx17]

Lmaoooo you tryna solve the wordle had me cackling because I got it in 6 too and was so mad

[@zara6472]

Had to pause the video to go and play some of these daily games. Thanks for the game recommendations as well as the book recommendations 😁

[@samanthahubachek106]

This was super fun, do it again please ❤

[@louisereads]

I love that you and Meg with Books did such a similar video so close together from separate requests!

[@ashleyyeoman9872]

girl this wordle today took me all six, i was so confused for so long. i also guessed pions not expecting it to even count as a word

[@AbiofPellinor]

This reminded me that Worldle exists and this will be my new obsession

[@kimberlyschroeder7409]

That “oh pious get fu*ked” just to start us off is hilarious

[@folklorevermore13]

This is so fun! Please do this again

[@allen-reads]

so many new fun games to play!

[@bookwormkara]

So fun! My husband and I love Bandle!😃 Pro tip is you should always guess something because if you happen to guess the correct artist, the font turns orange instead of red so you know you're on the right track!🎶

[@jacforswear18]

wow Bandle is a game changer! adding that one to my daily rotation!

[@ariane1159]

That was so fun!!

[@molliee5183]

you should add the sequel to The Year of the Witching to your cover predictions series! The title is out but the cover is still a placeholder rn!!

[@MariahNLoeb]

What if you did this concept, except you had to read books off your TBR/out of your TBR closet that fit with the games? i.e. if you got Iraq, you had to read a book off your TBR set there. if you got Yellow as the Color, you'd have to pick a book with a yellow cover, etc.

[@angylcantread]

I love this for the word game recommendations 😂 may I also suggest lyricle & weaver if you haven't played them!

[@lanej.6458]

Omg bestie I loved this idea, that was a quick 😳 can’t wait!!

[@juleseseses]

This one I got in 2 because my first guess is always ‘earnt’ and depending on the success my second is often ‘pious’ 😂 my broken clock is correct twice a day

[@maureengallagher1619]

i loved this.

[@gi_putti]

i really like videos like that!!!

[@nash5262]

Not me saying Bad Bunny over and over like you could hear me 😂

[@hannahlockhart1624]

every time Kayla uploads a new video my heart feels a little bit happier💕

[@jtru0]

Such a fun video ❤

[@MelsShelves]

Slewfoot for pious, those awful villagers! 😂

[@lisajenny9]

Played colorfle and betweenle because of this video. Really fun idea.

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

I was not prepared for Eminem but I love where this ended up!

[@amaraokeke4646]

Pious is my day to day first guess so I was on loud 9 today

[@BooksandLala]

No way!! 🥳🍾

[@FaeryLaume]

I use "pious" as an opening word a lot, not today though. It took me five guesses.

[@amyglamser4632]

I loved this video ❤

[@moiratuttle3981]

Ooh im currently reading in the house in the dark of the woods. I picked it up for $0.50 at a library sale last week

[@ChristianRumi]

recommending Invisible Women: Data Bias for the last one!

[@Vinyltechnician]

I thought it was Billie Jean, I was gunning so hard for it, until I heard the saxophone.

[@ruffoloreads]

This is my favorite 😂

[@Kevlandia]

As someone who grew up in the US during 9/11 I immediately recognized Iraq and wonder how many other people did, too.

[@Jillybeanzxo]

This was fun!!

[@Rkive.wonderland]

Love this! Also not me going to see Bad Bunny tomorrow in charlotte

[@VenLouie]

“drop the soa…” ksjsjsnsksns

[@lyssareadsbooks4169]

My husband got Pious in 1 guess. He always opens with pious lol and it paid off

[@daphneseguin6914]

For data, Mr Penumbra's 24h bookstore came to mind and I can't remember if you've read it? Also, In the House in the Dark of the Woods sounds great! Borrowing from the library right now!

[@Indie_witch10]

I loved In The House In The Dark of The Woods!

[@krisprepolec5616]

For data I would go with Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez.

[@nnennayaihejirikah]

me screaming bad bunny into the cam!

[@dareisayit]

When pious came up all I could think of was ‘All the Sinners Bleed’ by S.A Cosby 😮‍💨

[@joanbereading]

me thinking the contexto answer was desktop LMAOOO

[@orladdin]

I think you'd enjoy linxicon - you're given 2 random words and you have to create a chain of other words that bridge the gap in their meanings. it's got endless practise as well!

[@BooksandLala]

ooooooh sounds fun

[@lesmilingangel1764]

3:35 LMAOOO I did the wordle with my class and I also got to PIO_S and also started putting random letters (with the same reaction when realizing that it’s pious)

[@theredheadedheathen7615]

220 day streak?!🔥🔥😎 I was also shocked it wasn’t kiosk.

[@morganelizabeth534]

Not me screaming EMINEM after the drums 😂😂

[@yinandyangmix]

I played every single game with you as you did them! The Spotle music jumpscare got me as well lol.

[@giovannacenteno]

Frankenstein of Bagdad for a book set in Iraq!

[@sprinklesbyashley]

May 8th had to be worst day to film Wordle haha 😂

[@MaryJoHeadrick]

I saw a tik tok where I guy said that wordle is a par 4 game and that makes sense to me because I do tend to get it on the fourth try.

[@disha_s]

fun!!

[@hayle5920]

honestly I would love if you did this once a month

[@Breanakechelle]

24:16 Can I recommend The Kind Worth Killing for this word? Because wow... what a book that was!!! 😱

[@manganett]

This was so fun to watch :D Well done in finding all those book recs, I could never 😂
