Read the Book or Take a Shot 🥂

[@cherylNA]

The first time you distorted your face, I thought there was something wrong with my WiFi. 😂

[@katemchale5753]

same!

[@multicraftual]

Same! And I thought lolol what funny timing 😂

[@TiffanyKhyla]

Haha same! I rewound it, and was like "ooooooh" 😅

[@chooselovebooks]

So … there isn’t something wrong with my wifi ?!

[@saradjaroud971]

Gavin drank two bottles of wine before he started slurring, and Kayla couldn't handle two shots of tequilla haha

[@jodissweetlife3206]

Just watched. I was all out belly laughing.

[@encyclopediaofelizabeth]

And yet, I want both of them to drink more. 😂

[@BooksandLala]

Gavin is a king and I a mere peasant

[@saradjaroud971]

😂😂

[@justjaq2319]

I kind of feel like wine and tequila are not comparable, I would also be drunk after two shots lol

[@briaaxo_]

“i’m also your only contestant” 😂

[@AlexaSmith]

i gasped out loud at the difference between the tequila brand rec and the recovery website tequila shot suggestion 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@TheVelvet619]

21:23 "I was gonna fold those, then i changed my mind." so relatable, I love it

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

The fact that you’ve actually read SO many of the books in your haul 😱

[@sabiha.sayeed]

In her defence, reading books is part of her job 😅

[@KittyxKult]

“Im ugly today” Do NOT talk about my booktuber like that

[@feyza1831]

omg I just watched Gavin take almost 100 shots and now this

[@BooksandLala]

😂😂😂 who knew today was the day for drinking on the internet

[@adiibrd4213]

Hahahaha same 😂 I’m like I guess drinking it is today 🥂

[@meganbilbrey4831]

The Closet Unhaul series was what brought me to your channel so it’s fun to revisit it!

[@ImogensTypewriter]

Same! And I rewatch those videos at least once a year 😅📚

[@julies_reading]

same here!! cannot believe its been so long. her creativity is what pulled me and kept me around all these years!

[@emman4957]

The sad lime face KILLED MEEEEEE

[@queenkim8631]

What a coincidence that Kayla and Gavin posted a video of them drinking today...love the content 😂

[@ollieb.9731]

All our favs are turning to drink 😭😭

[@rootingbranches]

"I dropped a whole bike on myself, anyway.." the way I blinked at the lack of details, haha.

[@rawan_777]

Oh my god I don’t think I’ve ever been this early! Between this and Gavin’s NYT video, I’m getting concerned for my favs lmao

[@BlackCatBritt]

you're like the only Booktuber I watch who actually reads the majority of the books they buy in a relatively quick timeframe haha

[@crushgoil]

TBR making idea: choose a number (roll a d20, have someone choose a number, choose the day of the month, whatever) and then you have to create a tbr where your ratings for the books’ first chapters add to that number in total. Hopefully that makes sense!

[@avsambart]

Omg the shark cross-stitch!!! I love it

[@BooksandLala]

Thank you so much!! I mean, it is a pattern and I merely copied it but I am still proud it turned out well!! 🤗

[@Erdnussbuttertoast]

yess!!! I loved the Closet Unhaul series so much and I wanted you to revisit i sooo badly but I didn't know how we could ever convince you, so this is a perfect variation!!!

[@ДарьяЧернышева-н4х]

fun fact! shot sizes are different in different countries. so it's possible the glasses and the little bottles are just from different systems of shots

[@BooksandLala]

This is *so* interesting & makes a lot of sense!

[@joreads8782]

@@BooksandLalaI just came looking for this comment since in Australia it’s 30mL, and got most confused when you said 43mL. 😮

[@joreads8782]

@@BooksandLalaalthough I think we sell shots in a bar as doubles in some cases.

[@mmmcookies8814]

Depends on the form/mixers. In the US a shot is typically 1.5 oz if it's in mixed drink, but to shoot one you may get 1 or 1.25 oz of the base liquor in some locations

[@katyferenczy-dakin]

In England a shot is 25ml so you get two shots out of the little bottles (it’s 35ml in Scotland & N Ireland)

[@Katt_Dubbs]

I think it would be funny if Rob chooses the books and then you had to choose to read it or drink. Maybe steering away from the closet lol 😂 Or use a random book generator to choose 😌

[@anotherdana]

What if you do this same concept with the members TBR jar. So you pull a title and if you don't want to read it you have to take a shot until you come up with a TBR for another reading blog!

[@taeanna1644]

Yes!

[@ErinMegan]

As someone who also doesn’t really drink and who puts off reading the books they buy, I have to commend you for doing this. The beginning is actually so funny, watching the shots start hitting you is hilarious. 😂

[@KristinKravesBooks]

The talk about what alcohol to buy was just so Canadian and I loved it 😂

[@SydBookWorrom]

“I was gonna fold those, but changed my mind” is so painfully relatable

[@holabooks]

Yes, as soon as I started watching I thought of the closet unhaul series! Iconic ✨

[@readingid5917]

A Truth or Dare concept would give thrills without the alcohol poisoning... maybe it's "TBR or Dare"?

[@whitneyhendrix8075]

2 not full shots won’t give alcohol poisoning but that’s a great idea, I hope she tries it out

[@CimoreneTheRebel]

I always wonder if the writing of 172 Hours on the Moon seems more amateurish/juvenile to people because it's a translated book from a pretty long time ago. I'd love to know how it reads in Norwegian.

[@emilyatoz]

Love seeing your cross stitch projects! Cross stitch and reading are two of my favorite hobbies!

[@filmblooms]

i agree with others who have suggested that u do this same format but with members tbr jar suggestions!! that way you can pull out like 10 (or however many you're willing to say no to while drinking haha) suggestions and just pick 4 or 5. great way to knock out some members picks!!

[@elizabeths1052]

I would so be here for this being a concept again. Maybe have Rob pick out a pile of books from a mixture of the tbr shelf and closet? Like maybe he picks out a stack of ten and you narrow it down to three/four again.

[@KappaBooks]

The face with the lime and the slow headshake!! dead

[@amandas_reading_nook]

On my birthday! I can’t believe I have been blessed with unhinged Kayla content 🎉

[@kyestrella]

happiest of birthdays to you!!!! 🎉

[@BooksandLala]

Happy Birthday Amanda!!! 🎂🍒💕 I hope it was a good one!!

[@erinjohnson3663]

I read Everything the Darkness eats as my first Eric LaRocca. Absolutely HATED it. Glad to see I'm not the only one. VINDICATION

[@aster_3188]

years of begging for another closet unhaul and we just randomly got one. loved it

[@rainydayz7866]

I actually read dark Archives. It was on audio book from my library. It was interesting. I think you'll find it interesting if you ever read it.

[@WishAtElevenEleven]

I just had a flashback to my mom who would take ages to finish her ice cream bars, so everyone else would be taunted by them every time we opened the freezer for months after the rest of us had eaten ours already.

[@jades-joint]

i think this is the earliest ive ever been.. feeling: excited

[@CassBeaz]

Yogurt bowl on tequila is really a choice. I respect it. But it’s a choice. 😅

[@amyschmelzer6445]

Yeah, it’s not what I would have picked

[@sophiarafferty]

Yes!! This is so fun, the closet unhaul is one of my favouritr series

[@lucybarrettturley]

you’re glowwwwingg in this video!!!

[@annalisamoretti271]

Dark Archives is super interesting so I hope you’ll read it some day! A very thorny ethical issue … and pretty topical, one of the books highlighted in it owned by Harvard was in the news bc they decided the binding will be given a burial.

[@whitneyhendrix8075]

The braids and front curls are so cute!!

[@Eleneenie]

I was horrified by eating yoghurt after drinking tequila xd I'm so glad you were fine afterwards I don't drink but this episode makes me want to investigate my own hauls and how many books I read from them 😅

[@desdemona950]

these are my fave type of your videos

[@natatatt]

"Mickey" "Two-Six" Throwing around some Canadian drinking terms in this vid!

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

We're getting hammered with this one 🤧

[@emargent]

Of course Rob picked The King’s Men 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love that

[@BellsBarbosa]

Props on being a very cute drunk and on that transition from the washing machine, that was so smooooooth

[@anikamercier2651]

This was so fun! You totally need to do it again.

[@PumpkinFinch]

Channeling your inner Gavin I see. Great vlog!

[@taeanna1644]

Wait! I’m so excited for you to finish the AFTG series. I went through all your backlog videos one year to see if you ever finished it because I wanted your opinion before I bought them. I’ve since read them, but FINALLY those hours of watching will have the pay off I was looking for! (Worded specifically like that because just watching the videos was worth it in itself. ❤️ - It’s how I found the Closet Clean Out series!)

[@multicraftual]

I think a "read or dare" Would make a fun vlog. Like have a jar of things you could go do during the week and if you can't read the book you have to draw one of those!

[@thebugbear]

Your golf dream made me think of Albatross by Terry Fallis - the premise in that book is that this high school student finds out his body is weirdly perfectly suited to golf so he's kinda suddenly shepherded towards becoming a golf prodigy. I think it's one of Ariel Bissett's favorite books but I haven't been able to read it because it's hard to find outside of Canada.

[@spookyyjazz]

The facial distortions took me out 😂 this was so cute ❤

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

I love SciFi and I love Horror and I especially love SciFi/Horror! One of my favorite genre blends 😄

[@cheshiretrick]

I bought Everything the Darkness Eats at a bookstore last year and read it soon after and really didn't like it at all, I've never read anything of his before so I've been really curious to see how you would feel about it as someone that checks out everything he does! And completely agree with your complaints about it, I was especially looking forward to the magical elements of it and felt really disappointed by it

[@faeriefire78]

My Google popped up when you asked about the tequila and said the exact same thing, prompting me to make that exact same face. 8 shots?! That seems wrong. 😳

[@elimcm1396]

so much fun to watch 😂 I think if I do this myself I would end up wasted

[@Lynn-CA]

Did you and Gavin coordinate? 😂

[@AmandaStephensFeeney]

"I knew you were listening to me" 😂

[@greentree211]

Oh My. you and Gavin unleashing my inner alcoholic today! lmao

[@MrsClintA]

Dark Archives is so good!

[@hollygreenqueen]

Such a fun video! The lime 😂

[@bethmw28]

Mhairi McFarlane lives on the next road to me and is the only romance author I've ever consistently enjoyed 👌

[@kzhrar]

Love this hahaha last year I drank shots of Patron at the bar and the bartender served it with slices of sunkist orange - it honestly changed my life 😂

[@samanthahubachek106]

I was cackling when it said 7-8 shots because the face I made was the same as yours 😂😂😂

[@DonutNightcore]

It's a single second into the video, and I already know it's gonna be a winner lol.

[@romxilda]

Kayla punishing herself for the content, we love(?) to see it

[@KapowskiReads]

When you announced you were going to drink tequila, I got the fear for you! I haven't drank alcohol in years, but when I did I'd have gotten blootered from that first shot😸 💕

[@agustinalima]

yogurt bowl between tequila shots is a very unique technique

[@grinselamm]

I read 172 hours on the moon few years ago when I was already in my 30s. It was my favorite book of the year. The simple writing style did something for me. Usually I enjoy fun sci-fi but the horror element was really surprising. Hearing you talking about the amateur writing makes sense - English is not my first language and nonetheless I flew through the pages. If anyone has recomendations for horror sci-fi which don't feel heavy or long, I would apprechiate that.

[@faeriesparks]

this is such a funny video concept!

[@kates4455]

Feel like this is the way everyone should clean out the TBR shelves 😂

[@bookishmelody]

This brought me too much joy

[@BethMorvant]

You should do a reorganizing your bookshelves while drunk

[@Sarah.reads.sometimes]

7-8 shots of tequila sounds so bad 😂 My face did the same thing 😂

[@KittyxKult]

Choosing to read apt pupil while already feeling woozy is a CHOICE the cat scene made me physically ill

[@rach_elreads5508]

Tequila shots = a lady after my own heart 😂

[@aquaticraccoon1467]

ahhhh I love this so much

[@cocktailshrimps]

“I’m ugly today” ok ur wrong but I felt that

[@abbywonder3825]

I wasn’t a huge fan of 172 hours on the moon. It sat in my shelf for a long time and then I decided to pick it up. Had to skip some of it to be able to finish it. Then I unhauled it

[@aprilhutchens2105]

I am doing a Stephen King book club with my dad, and we're reading them in order. We just finished Different Seasons, and I DNFed Apt Pupil. I legit could NOT.

[@emmal7510]

Maybe next time use a stack of books Rob picked from your tbr.

[@bonesjo]

😂😂😂 my google decided to answer that question for you. Cheers!

[@procrasy]

0:39 You’re lovely, truely

[@booksaremysociallife]

As someone who doesn't drink and who is bad at reading the books I buy, this terrifies me 😅

[@Biobotica]

I felt the same way about Now You See Us! I was really hoping to love it, but while I loved learning about how these women are treated, I didn't feel like it pulled off any of the things it was trying to do as successfully as I wanted it to. Made me sad. But not as sad as your face when taking shots...

[@ChanelChapters]

Enjoy your vacation ❤

[@wanessacardoso8904]

Dark archives is such a good book! Too bad you didn’t read it :( but amazing video as always!

[@AbiofPellinor]

*me watching this* “someone save Kayla”

[@readbyamity5440]

This is so fun! 🥰

[@kristinh6953]

If you ever revisit hard-hitting YA contemporary, please pick up Say Goodnight Gracie by Julie Reece Deaver. I’ve never seen a booktuber discuss it and haven’t read it since I was like 12 but remember it being the first ever book to make me cry. So curious if it’s held up!

[@satinsleeves]

You or Rob should wrap up a bunch of books on your tbr and then open them on cam. The ones you dont want to read you take a shot

[@leilajaafari8436]

Kayla and Rob talking about what alcohol to buy 😂

[@Dhor16]

A shot in Hungary IS 50ml 😊😊

[@kristinlawrie7742]

Where do you go for Pub Quiz??

[@kartik3719]

Omg what if you do a follow up vlog where you read all the books you skipped

[@BooksandLala]

oh god 😂

[@heatherbocks]

Hahaha omg one shot would have me tipsy too, what is google on. (I’m 32, basically never drink, and have always been a lightweight😅)
