[@maireadsbookshelves]

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

[@inestome9579]

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

[@literarymadmax]

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!

[@tracy2919]

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

[@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...

[@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.

[@WishAtElevenEleven]

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

[@low-key2520]

The daily spotle jump scare is so much fun 😂

[@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!

[@ffiontill5924]

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

[@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! ❤

[@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!!

[@anaos1004]

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

[@nannybells]

big fan of daily games w/ kayla 🤩

[@Romcommunist]

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

[@FaeryLaume]

That's a good one for it.

[@joshuamarimpietri7708]

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

[@awildernessofbooks]

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

[@ShanReads]

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

[@samilybamily]

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

[@faye13l]

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

[@tanellenash7383]

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

[@kimberlyschroeder7409]

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

[@Cafe_Scribbles]

Love finding new games! Fun concept 😊

[@Ellereads1]

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

[@DeionnaWilburn]

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

[@BrebearMckae]

a tbr video like this would be so fun, too!!

[@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!!

[@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

[@billiep1603]

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

[@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 :)

[@shannahsmith6276]

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

[@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

[@shreyabooked9309]

This was such a fun viseo, really enjoyed it!

[@sylspren]

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

[@MindyDontCayer]

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

[@cherylNA]

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

[@kerisbookishcorner2864]

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

[@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 😁

[@irinalysak4920]

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

[@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.

[@jacforswear18]

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

[@samanthahubachek106]

This was super fun, do it again please ❤

[@MariahNic]

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.

[@xxLeMoNiCeExx17]

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

[@laurlovesliterature]

love watching your mind work!!!!

[@kittuffincafe]

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

[@AbiofPellinor]

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

[@angylcantread]

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

[@folklorevermore13]

This is so fun! Please do this again

[@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!!

[@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

[@lisajenny9]

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

[@MelpoReads]

Slewfoot for pious, those awful villagers! 😂

[@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.

[@bailey3645]

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

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

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

[@ChristianRumi]

recommending Invisible Women: Data Bias for the last one!

[@krisprepolec5616]

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

[@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!🎶

[@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 🤣

[@joanbereading]

me thinking the contexto answer was desktop LMAOOO

[@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)

[@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!!

[@Breanakechelle]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@allen-reads]

so many new fun games to play!

[@nash5262]

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

[@waadalsaidi5440]

32:08 for the *data* prompt, my FAVOURITE non-fiction is Algorithms to Live By, it’s my comfort book and I keep re-listening to the audiobook whenever I’m on long drives, or quoting it to my colleagues when I want to justify a decision (I’m a researcher)! Bonus: the book is included with kindle unlimited and! for people with ADHD or just busy people, the audiobook is super engaging, read by the author, and never makes you feel like you’re missing out on not reading the text itself. It’s worth noting that the book is also surprisingly insightful and philosophical. This is one of my favourite quotes that I think demonstrates this point well: “No choice recurs. We may get similar choices again, but never that exact one. Hesitation-inaction-is just as irrevocable as action. What the motorist, locked on the one-way road, is to space, we are to the fourth dimension: we truly pass this way but once.”

[@BooksandLala]

✍🏻 noted thank you so much for the suggestion!!

[@dareisayit]

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

[@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

[@Vinyltechnician]

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

[@Indie_witch10]

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

[@Kevlandia]

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

[@jtru0]

Such a fun video ❤

[@lyssareadsbooks4169]

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

[@pattyrad]

Flickle is another movie based daily game! It shows clips of a movie instead of frames!

[@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

[@ariane1159]

That was so fun!!

[@hayle5920]

honestly I would love if you did this once a month

[@louisereads]

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

[@gi_putti]

i really like videos like that!!!

[@maureengallagher1619]

i loved this.

[@nnennayaihejirikah]

me screaming bad bunny into the cam!

[@Rkive.wonderland]

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

[@VenLouie]

“drop the soa…” ksjsjsnsksns

[@morganelizabeth534]

Not me screaming EMINEM after the drums 😂😂

[@ruffoloreads]

This is my favorite 😂

[@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.

[@ArtByDesign80]

2:44 I just quit playing wordle after 2 years with a 100 win %… this is making me want to start again. 🙅🏻‍♂️

[@PrincessCullen94]

I'm currently reading "Bunny". Or should I say I started it... Three times. I'm not sure if it's the translation throwing me off or if we don't really match 😅. I'll try till 25% of the book at least.

[@Jillybeanzxo]

This was fun!!

[@amyglamser4632]

I loved this video ❤

[@BrittWarren201]

Live reaction of me downloading bandle: 🤨😒😑 lol

[@ChanelChapters]

“Oh pious - get fkd” 😂😂😂😂

[@theredheadedheathen7615]

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

[@giovannacenteno]

Frankenstein of Bagdad for a book set in Iraq!

[@sprinklesbyashley]

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