Reacting to & Redoing My First Booktube Video

[@Rebecca.G]

Hi, I'm still a subscriber to you channel many years later! Thanks for the shout out, and for making the channel at all. I'm glad you looked up what Booktube was way back then :D

[@BooksandLala]

Bec!!!!!! 🙌 You're here! Thank you for being awesome my friend. 💕

[@racheltfisher]

becdiggity Thank you for that comment all those years ago!

[@daniaguzman559]

Thank you Bec!!!!!

[@punkrockgirlpa]

You created a monster and booktube thanks you!!! 😘😘😘😘

[@beepboop9976]

We thank you so much

[@abbybodemann3840]

Thank God for that random commenter Bc who knows where we’d be without them. They’re the real MvP

[@NicoleFoti]

Yasss. I want to know WHO that was!

[@Rebecca.G]

@@NicoleFoti Hehe, hello *waves* . I don't make videos I was just a random subscriber to her channel and watching a lot of booktube at that time.

[@randomstuffwithvicky]

becdiggity hey! We all owe you a lot! Thank you 👏👏👏

[@AshleyLBergg]

omg the fact that you can see the exact catalyst to your booktube career is so amazing and heartwarming

[@letsalltakeawalk6906]

2014 Lala: I love writing 2019 Lala: You love writing? Mood honestly

[@BooksandLala]

I actually cannot figure out why I said that 😂 what was I writing?! 🤔

[@badmothertucker6579]

I watched your other channel! I learned how to cloth diaper from you. Then I followed you to booktube! My oldest son is 5 months older than Liam and now I have two more little babies in cloth!

[@meggaroo2]

Same here. Her cloth diaper guide saved me lol.

[@badmothertucker6579]

Meghan Fasnacht Absolutely!!! I copied so much of what she was doing at first because I had no idea what I was doing and I had no one in real life to help me.

[@stellafolwarska4216]

😂

[@mm4ever2005]

Your reactions to your past self was hilarious. Absolutely loved this!!!

[@stormydavis5860]

Younger you was so precious. I love your videos reacting to your old videos. It's always so entertaining! I think it's why the closet unhauls were so awesome.

[@Brendanstop]

this was amazing, but the highlight is the face 5-year-ago Lala makes at 6:45

[@racheltfisher]

raggedbooks 😆😆

[@booksandcats2612]

LOL, I loved that!

[@itsgabbi7975]

You always make the most creative booktube videos! 💕

[@ashleypaige]

Present Lala laughing at Past Lala: "Look at me having an existential crisis" Me watching Present Lala staring at her shelves and having an existential crisis for 16 minutes straight: "..."

[@MaddieBReads]

Yes, finally someone else who prefers paperback 🙌

[@randisuch4317]

Maddie B...me and my mom were just discussing this earlier this evening. I totally prefer paperbacks!!! They feel so much better to read than hardback!

[@caveswater]

Maddie B I prefer reading paperbacks but I prefer collecting/displaying hardcovers!

[@vegangurly]

I prefer reading paperbacks! But only if the jacket is off. Otherwise I’m too gentle with them.

[@bookedwithamanda]

"Do you feel like you buy too many books?" All of booktube: makes the same face as present day Kayla.

[@CassieLuellman]

I actually cried with laughter when Lala from five years ago said Anne Rice was one of her favorite authors. I don't know if it's the wine I'm drinking or the idea of current Lala reading an Anne Rice novel but I could not stop laughing lol Another amazing video as always!

[@misslethality]

13:45 absolutely KILLED me. the look you give the camera when you said "...NooOo." and then the swivel head turn to look at the screen had me dying

[@jessicalynn6506]

I love your reaction videos! They are quickly becoming one of my favorite videos you do. Right now your Vlogs are number one lol (the Closet Unhauls will always be the true number ones in my heart of course!)

[@ericawallace526]

I’d just like to say that I’d LOVE to see the content from your old channel!

[@jenniferpeterson530]

You reacting to yourself is booktube GOLD!!! I could watch these videos all day. 🤣❤️

[@margaret_adelle]

I like the eco-friendliness of thrift store books. And I have a love for weird 2000s sci-fi that have been out of print for years. xD

[@RunwrightReads]

This was fantastic and asking if we want to see you reacting to the other early videos is quite the rhetorical question, La La. Of course we do! When I started watching your channel, you still had the monthly vlog videos up and I used to like watching those too.

[@jaimiebuffay2339]

I will never understand how u pump out 5 videos a week, take care of your family, and have a full job! You’re amazing!

[@jstanford8807]

My day has been a giant wave of rage and this was the one thing that has made me laugh and not want to cut somebody

[@Crafts-ForKids]

I originally found you through your old channel as I loved your cloth diaper videos. I watched every single one when I had my baby. But then my baby grew up and I started to read again and found this channel. I would love to see your other reaction videos. I found this one highly entertaining.

[@kerisbookishcorner2864]

That was so great watching you react to previous you!! I love any and all reactions to your old videos lol Also, SO grateful for becdiggity!!!

[@heatherabner]

That thumbnail of Liam is great! 1:57 bottom left.

[@nveletkoslin33771]

i would love to see you react to your other prebooktube book vids! this was a really interesting video to watch 😊

[@hannahcurran3838]

Always love your reactions to yourself, absolutely hilarious!

[@NicoleFoti]

She's so cute.

[@Lexi-1234]

Yes, please do part 2!

[@Juliannaskindlee]

yes!! refreshed my page so many times. Cannot wait, I love your reaction videos to yourself

[@brittsfittlife]

I know this is from over a year ago, but it is the best! I love seeing past lala and your reactions to yourself. This is awesome

[@katethebibliophile9796]

Lala rolling her eyes at her own self for 15 minutes straight is a big mood

[@StrawberryBookReader]

YES PART 2 PART 2!!! hahah You have such unique videos, love them. I do, vaguely remember coming across your old channel, looking for book videos, and saw the one saying you created a new channel, and so then going to it and subscribing...and you only had like 1 video on it, I think. I started just right after that too, I think.

[@vickyreads]

Please, we need a part 2!

[@homeschoolmamax6]

I followed your old channel back then and TOTALLY remember this video!!! You actually inspired me to get back into reading back then! You also got me into cloth diapering 😂

[@elimcm1396]

Part 2!! 😍 Was so enjoyable watching how have you changed and not changed at the same time (if that makes sense) 🤭

[@ashtaylor4107]

I'm so interested in the videos on your old channel. Whaaaaaa. Also, love your reaction videos.

[@QueenBethJoy]

Loved this. I would totally love to see you react to those other videos

[@BasilGab]

6:38 omg your face from the video! Its freaking gold. You picked a wonderful moment to pause your video 😂😂 Edit: 13:44 is pearl too

[@AmberReadsandSips]

Omgosh yes please make the other videos! This was too fun to watch! 👌😃

[@dolphin1136]

I love seeing you react to old videos!

[@jessicadifelice7849]

This is too good. I love your reaction to your past self!

[@patriciatamara3028]

Loved this video! Its nice to see how your relationship with books has changed.

[@amandapelotto5088]

This was so funny to watch. Love all your expressions! I would love to see a part 2.

[@alyssam2602]

I honestly love reaction videos this makes me miss the reaction unhaul videos you used to do. Its cool to see your younger self and how you have adapted

[@AngelikaRenee]

It’s crazy how much can change in 5 years! I’m glad you joined booktube!

[@ashleymarie6715]

There was an article somewhere I read that explained how much pre ordering actually helps the author! Gahhh I can’t remember where I read it but you get the point lol

[@nemobabee]

Ariel Bissett recently put up a video on KZbin about how preordering books really helps the author and how it helps to predict how well a book is going to do.

[@JulEnglefaris]

Your crimped/wavy hair looked so good on you!

[@LaurelMoring]

I was there watching! You taught me how to cloth diaper my middle baby and then I sent your entire cloth playlist to all my mom groups when they had questions! Haha. Your reaction videos are always my favourite. I wish we had a photo of your “too many books” at this time! 🤣

[@jlyn446]

Awww I loved this! You’re reactions were so pure and funny! We’d love a part 2!!

[@VenLouie]

i mean i already know this but i just wanna put it out there. you are my favorite booktuber. youre the only one who can make me laugh

[@bshaw4568]

Lala... I remember those videos. You were my ClothD guru 💁‍♀️ and I remember that bookshelf!

[@flusterlion4899]

That was fun - wouldn’t mind seeing more.

[@kmichelle1]

Would definitely love a part two!!

[@mariahtoast]

Reaction videos are legit the best! Thank you for the best reaction videos out there!

[@honeyjinks]

I cannot forget that you’re Canadian with the amount of times you said “tag” in this video😂 I love it!

[@CH1R0973R]

Your reactions cracked me up so many times, loved it!

[@ilovebunnies7]

Anne Rice!? That made me laugh real loud 😂 SUCH A FUN VIDEO LALA! 😆💕

[@daisychainsknox]

I am LIVING for this video. Your reactions are the best!

[@sage1291]

THIS WAS SO FUNNY....would love to see a part 2 of this!!!!!!

[@xyhanx]

I laughed so so hard at the end "LOVE YOU.... as a friend." said sincerely. That was too Lala.

[@dex_totalus]

"It's part of your business. It's fine!" haha I love when you justified that. This is a fun video!

[@kzeender]

A part 2 would be amazing. This was fun

[@ashleyb9220]

Yes! We need the other videos

[@amysmith3543]

Yes, I want to see you react to the other book videos!!!

[@aprilparadee4534]

I actually started watching your mommy channel first and found booktube because you joined :) so thank you!!!

[@badazzledhippo6010]

Honestly if you ever do merch, I want a shirt that says “Love you... as a friend” ❤️✌🏻

[@arkremling]

I totally remember your old book videos and the announcement about your new channel! We have been together through so much, even though we're strangers :) It is actually because of you that I found out what Booktube even was...

[@polka.dotgirl]

Your reactions to some answers were hilarious hahaha It was also great to see how your part of your life has changed by seeing how your reading and bookish habits have developed in the last 5 years. So glad you actually listened to becdiggity and joined booktube

[@SlowpokeReads]

This is such a good idea omg I really hope other booktubers pick up and do videos like yours!

[@michellerose6685]

Your reactions are the best. Please do more.

[@MelLenoreReads]

SUCH A MOOD haha. Giving back books is sad, :( but I love my library for audiobooks!

[@alyssadeboer3307]

Oh wow! I cloth diapered my 2014 baby and I loved your old channel! I never even realized you were the same person.

[@thebookfawkes2963]

This video was hilarious! I was laughing out loud watching it. I would love to see part 2 😊

[@juditkovacse]

What makes this funny is how Lala 5 years ago is referred to as a different person, because yes, apparently they are a different person. Very cool video. And would love to see a second part of this.

[@pebna-jay]

I'd love to see you react to those three other video's you do not remember at all! I think it would be great to see more of how much you changed.

[@nikkimirhosseyni9535]

At my old job, I worked next to Barnes and Noble. I usually came back from lunch with a new book 😂 leaving that job helped me save so much money lol.

[@FabulousFrostine]

Girl. My boyfriend asked if I've actually finished any series and I really had to think for a minute. I only got to 2... 😭

[@peaches3450]

What’s crazy is that I totally used to watch your mommy channel where you talked about cloth diapering and stuff like that! And i remember when you started doing some book videos and announced your new channel and I was so excited because I had just discovered booktube too! I can’t believe how long I’ve been watching your channels lol

[@smokeysapphire82]

Weirdly enough I found booktube through you before you started your booktube channel. You are the reason I made it through cloth diapering my now 6 year old!

[@sophiasthoughts]

Yes please to the part 2, this was so fun to watch!!

[@MissScrabble308]

14:22 oh boy that has to be my favorite part of the video!! your face is just priceless haha

[@lizzyrose5494]

Oh god I loved this, your reactions made me literally laugh out loud. Please do a part two! :D

[@luveww20]

Omg lady!!!!! You freaking CRACK me up!!!!

[@teresamedeiros7312]

Yes I want to see as many reactions that you want/have time to do!

[@Feverm00n]

This video CRACKED ME UP! Also your voice sounds so different in the older video!

[@charlottepapes9818]

I was in the middle of watching another one of you videos when you posted this, and I have never clicked faster in my life.

[@starzscarme]

Speaking as a librarian, all check-outs are helpful from a statistics perspective. Regular print, OverDrive... all of it. And we'll always take that support. 😀

[@SimplyInColorado]

🙋‍♀️I totally followed you when this video was made 😆 I found your mommy channel when I was ttc my kiddos in 2012! Blast from the past

[@samanthahendrickx3606]

Yes. Part 2!

[@ChristinaBooks]

Amazing how people change! Loved this one.

[@liviamartin3641]

Love it. I originally found you through cloth diaper videos and I remember thinking what is the book tube nonsense, I don't want to hear about books! LOL, I know almost exclusively follow booktuber on KZbin....guess I was late to the game

[@chasitymarsh837]

I love this and you so much!!

[@BrennaElaine98]

I loved this video so much. Your reactions were great

[@CompletelyMelanie]

This was great! And yes, we need a part 2!

[@MiaSmithxo]

LOOOOOVED THIS VIDEO❣️ • i agree with you on having books as your job & that ehhhh it’s pretty much a “requirement”. 💁🏻‍♀️ i was a makeup influencer on iG for over 6 years and i received soooo much makeup that i literally had no more room for it all & i became completely overwhelmed 😂 im so thankful for my mua influencers days, but im even more thankful that i found booktube🙌🏻 ive gotten back into reading & my life is defiantly more peaceful now ☺️✨

[@carmenleigh1320]

This is such a great video idea! I love seeing young Lala~ I'd watch more for sure. Your facial expressions make it XD

[@Emma-rj4nd]

An amazing way to end the day! Hola from New York!!!!

[@Unphilosophize]

Listening to you be surprised/upset at yourself was hilarious!

[@racquelmp4783]

I am the same with the taking out 5 books and reading only one but like happens the same in overdrive 😂. Agree with your comments about the second hand subject. Finally, do a part 2 !

[@LeahRummel]

Oh pre-booktube days 😂 this is such a fun video!

[@nini-et1jp]

that thumbnail though :D your personality is simply the best!
