sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost the login password. I would love any tips you can offer me

I love how Liam is so quick from the back seat to point out what the road trip in the book is.

"I'm eating pizza, I'm in a blanket and I'm crying" - that's me everyday

[@alexandraroselyn]

The "don't be mean to me" while crying and eating pizza was too relatable. This entire vlog is my new favorite video lol

[@neophyte8]

"I'm crying watching Hamilton so..." "But not even the sad part" "Don't....... be mean to me!!!" 😂😂😂

[@cactus.3157]

Honestly the best part of the whole video 😂

[@myonnareads]

PLEASE DO AN ENTIRE VIDEO READING WHILE STONED THIS IS MY FAVORITE THING.. EVER

[@cactus.3157]

Imagine if she read sad children’s books while stoned

[@amygiles148]

Yes! So funny. "I feel like I've been reading this forever..........and am only on page 47" lol. Being high makes time go so slowly!

[@bianca-ht1sy]

@@cactus.3157 this would be so good

[@CharlottesReads]

love the fact that you went on a roadtrip during a vlog when you read books about roadtrip! also reading in the car without getting carsick is a type of power i wish i could posses.

[@shannonhughes8488]

saaaaame

[@bethmw28]

Oh no! Reading in the car/ on trains is my favourite ♡ I feel so sad for people who get travel sick! I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that you all have a miraculous recovery! Until then... audiobooks! ♡♡

[@marchforth3515]

Aw I’m sorry :(

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Crying whilst being wrapped in a blanket and eating pizza is SUCH a 2020 mood! 😂👏🏻

[@rubyschroeder9237]

26:32 gave me an idea... TBR video where you focus on different familial relationships? Mother-daughter, father-daughter, sibling-sibling, extended relatives, etc? I feel like there are tons of toxic mother-daughter and father-son relationship books, but I personally would LOVE to find toxic sibling-sibling or father-daughter books........lol

[@allysonwonderland117]

I appreciate the late night postings. It’s pretty nice when you have new content to watch when you can’t sleep 😅 and that’s on ✨insomnia✨

“Lord of the Flies again just in case you didn’t like the first one” lmao IM dead😂😭

[@cecilygriffis6508]

Does anybody else think that Kayla is beautiful like all the time? It's insane. Gorgeous

[@raissalbuquerque]

"... and i'm crying over watching hamilton" "NOT EVEN THE SAD PART!!!!" "dont be mean to me.... :(" i'm dying (i also cry when i watch hamilton, and not only at the sad parts, i feel u lala!)

[@ByCourtenie]

NO ONE makes me more motivated to read than Kayla. Without fail, every time I finish one of her videos, I am in such a reading mood. I love it💜

[@Ashestoashesjc]

this is so true

[@BetweenLinesAndLife]

The blessing for us Europeans to get an early morning Kayla treat.... talking about treat, I was expecting a lot, but Kayla high was not on that list for sure xD

[@daijahsbookworld]

I understand why some people think you’re high on camera sometimes but I think that’s just your personality 😂 I don’t know how to describe it. But seeing you high is completely different

[@BooksandLala]

hahahahaha now we know I'll definitely never be able to be sneaky-high in a video. like wow was it ever apparent that I was ~*not in my right mind*~

[@mdee8225]

Helen Anderson recently made a video about this! ‘What Not to Say to an Extrovert’ totally worth the watch in my opinion.

[@j.oan.n.e]

I can’t believe she actually got high to read a book. Amazing mix

[@aless.andra9620]

In the future, if anyone says book people are boring and uptight, I will refer them to this video. " No, mister, we can have so much fun when reading!"

[@littlebookowl]

"The fact that I gave this 3 stars tells us, I think, that I hate cars" HAHAHAHA

[@MrLaiioSpain]

The fact that you choose songs that are related to the topic of the video... cheff kiss

[@encyclopediaofelizabeth]

Video idea where you read books that were in your airbnb.

[@whitneyhendrix8075]

My mom read a book from an Airbnb we were staying at and it was amazing

[@danielaleon6194]

Next video idea: My AirBnB chooses my TBR?! 😅 Also I got anxiety just thinking about reading the book of the girl going to NY to meet someone that doesn’t even know she exist 🤪🙈

[@jacob2813]

I predicted this video many times because she told us on her birthday livestream when she was drunk ✨😎💫

[@BooksandLala]

this was my least secretive secret tbr of all time

You bought the jeep a year ago? THE jeep??? amazing-

[@kenziecheyenne97]

THE MUSIC IN THE TRANSITIONS!!! !! ! !! GORGEOUS AMAZING BEAUTIFUL LIFE CHANGING!!

[@RubyRaeReads]

Never did I expect the day that Kayla would do drugs on camera. Quarantine tingz

[@Katameez]

Isn’t “Sadie” kind of a road trip book that you have read and liked?

[@sabrina.lnd95]

It's got other things she loves (podcasts, missing people) tho so the road trip part isn't the only thing in the book

[@19ninetythree]

That's the first thing I thought too!

[@megwithbooks]

queen of reading experiments!!! i would deffo love to see the detective pov next👀👀👀

[@juliak16]

living for the music transitions

[@tana3537]

I'm living for the music being used between the books 🙌🏻

[@chanelletime]

Lala you look beautiful queen!!!! ❤️

[@missing4297]

Knowing a book is middle-of-the-road or mediocre is still very useful to me. Sometimes I'm in the mood to*feel*, and sometimes I'm in the mood for fluff. I appreciate your commentary ❤

[@mdee8225]

Your side banter is everything to me. That thing about being high and reading is so funny to me because I love it 🤣 I can focus more and find myself getting less distracted. How odd.

[@npeliroja89]

I remember that video! Love your revisiting of styles/genres you don’t typically like.

[@BookedandBusy]

Time for another comfort rewatch 🤗

[@lizareadsbooks228]

Reading and vloging while high booktube is going to new levels

[@carringtonbrignac3076]

Came straight from the livestream to watch this!!! Hope Robby finishes the dishes :D

[@BooksandLala]

He's asleep now and did everything but the cutlery.

[@ashandtheink]

"that was a choice." 🤣🤣🤣

[@virginiafernandes336]

We need a vlog of you high reading sci-fi books. That was hilarious

[@kyra8138]

At 19:45 , you watching LAURDIY. We love to see Canadians supporting Canadians!

[@avidlyreads2254]

I love all your videos but this one has to be my favorite! You are hilarious and entertaining! I enjoyed every minute of this video especially the edibles and the crying at Hamilton and your husband sharing that it wasn't even the sad part. You are amazing!

[@AbiofPellinor]

I love challenging my own views on books and tropes etc and seeing you do the same is always so interesting. It also makes me evaluate what I actually enjoy in books more which I definitely appreciate

[@lolajean2614]

Drop an updated bookshelf tour!

[@KathyTrithardt]

"I love being wrong. You know why? Because then I can be more right in the future." I honestly need this on a journal or something. Curiosity is so important.

[@Shaegeeksout]

As always, a Kayla vlog makes me laugh out loud. Thank you for being yourself on camera, because I just enjoy you as a human.

[@carringtonbrignac3076]

Serving looks from the first frame

[@gabbyreads]

Ahhh I love this vlog! I love seeing you try out books you don’t think you’d enjoy it’s so fun. Also ahhh so stoked you read He Started It!! I loved that one so much 😍😍😍 it was so action packed and mysterious and exciting! I just love Samantha Downings writing!

[@jessicapritt8367]

Kayla even when your hair has been through the rain it still looks great or brushed after being curled. But I understand I have fluffy hair after both too💜

[@gaiaathena-books]

I vote for the hidden identity trope!

[@belletoro3100]

Ooooo what book has a good example of that????

[@basicbechreader1742]

I love these videos they are such a fun concept. I think Sadie would be considered road trip and ya thriller. Not sure if there would be any others though but that might help you find others. Also I'm an Aries and my anxiety has been super high this year and your comment in the video about Aries and not wanting to be out of control really just packed a punch for me. Maybe that plays a part in my anxiety being so high because yes I hate not being in control of things its part of the reason I hate driving during storms because I no longer feel in control and my anxiety gets so high. So you've given me a lot to think about. Great video.

[@SeasonallyBookedUp]

I really love this exploration you've been on with your reading tastes. Ratings and enjoyment have so many variables that it can feel so arbitrary at times.

[@fabulousbookfiend9127]

Every time you talk about a trope you don’t like I’m like... ‘I love that!’ So fun, also totally get what you’re saying about knowing your 16 year old self would love a book... I get that all the time!

[@Shamburgesa]

For detective POV, definitely check out "Bluebird, Bluebird" by Attica Locke!

[@alexshe819]

“I hate cars” ok Kayla........

[@SpinesAndSpoilers]

"I'm eating pizza, I'm in a blanket, and I'm crying" is just... A whole mood!

[@problematique1]

Loving edibles Kayla attempting to find words and make sentences 👌

[@Lemonade_Stand_]

Ohhh another west coaster! Holaaa fellow YVRer! Also that shot of the slug in the sandal was absolutely revolting. I despise slugs and think theyre the grossest things on the planet.

[@kate.alexandra]

For secret identity: The Rules for Disappearing by Ashley Elston Basic synopsis: Girl’s family is in the witness protection program, she’s trying to figure out why, also teenage high school stuff. Same author as 10 blind dates and it’s one of my favorite books of all time. Hope you consider!!!

[@chanelletime]

"it's not even the sad part" "don't.... be mean to me" kjfhlsalklk rob and kayla are so fun together

[@MinaReads]

LALA UNHAULING???? now there is a plot twist

[@launchedathousand]

Was it Salt Spring you went to? It looked familiar. For the Detective POV try Giles Blunt Forty Words for Sorrow, Canadian detective story set in a small town in Northern Ontario.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

“I love being wrong!” Jeez can not relate 😅although your logic behind it makes sense 😂

[@charlotte346]

It would be such a cool idea if you went to the bookstore and picked a bunch of books where you love the cover and read them for a vlog but without reading what they’re about beforehand, so everything is a total surprise xx

[@kaylaklassen4869]

Loved the high bits! Was so fun! I get why you wouldn’t want to do it again on camera but I will always watch! :)

[@izstrella]

Oh my gods, my abuelo used to live in Merit! We would visit him every summer. Beautiful weather, but boring place (at least it was for my child-self, haha). Wonder if it’s changed since then. ALso: that flower shirt/dress outfit is AWESOME! Even the shoes, AH! 👏🏼 ALSO: I would love to see the Secret/Stolen Identity trope video next. Unfortunately, I don’t have any recommendations, but I still think it’d be interesting.

[@lisaglaum8912]

I would love to see a video about Detective POV, since I hate them too😂.

[@emmadavis6049]

Me too. I enjoy a good thriller....but I don't want to hear about the detectives.

[@ashthebookbakery1785]

Ive bought many things from Shein and all my tops were great. They also have size charts for every item so there should be a small chance of something not fitting once you get there.

[@julesnar1175]

Kayla is that one youtuber that you just watch as soon as you see the video pop up, no matter what youre doing

[@joellesoumis8041]

Love the video ! As for Airbnb, it can be so problematic. It contributes to gentrification in some neighborhoods. As a company, they don’t contribute to anything. They just make profit and most of the time is hurtful to the communities. So I would be careful about that !😊

[@starry_worlds]

I love the songs that were used in the transitions between books.

[@RebeccaNeffati]

On a complete tangent from books...I LOVE your cute tee in the beginning of this video!

[@meghan6265]

For detective/police poverties, i recommend Find Her by Lisa Gardner. It's in the middle of a series but you don't need to read the others (I didn't and followed it fine), but it had a very gripping storyline that I would love to hear your thoughts on. I don't normally enjoy reading from a detective's pov either. Also loved the part you were high in this video, lol, yass Lala!

[@brookecullen9812]

How do I buy the bee bookmark??? My friend is a bee keeper and loves to read!!!

[@booksandlifewithlaura2143]

I too bought The lost ones. The paperback was on sale and I'm so interested in The lost ones but the adult paperbacks are expensive in Finland.

[@jedibookmasterivy]

The Hamilton clip 🤣🤣🤣 this vlog was so much fun! That air b&b was so cute! This Adventure Ends is on my 20 for 20 TBR list. So I’m glad to see your review of it. Gone but Not Forgotten by Phillip Margolin is a detective thriller novel I’d recommend you trying.

[@Ola..]

I very much agree that the last part of The Passengers did seem pretty different in pace and theme from the rest of the book. And I didn’t really care about it much. I liked the twist but I didn’t care about the characters enough to enjoy it. The One was so much better and gripping. John Marrs is definitely a new favorite this year.

[@VeraFran]

Loved the video. Got tired of the detective PoV 5 years ago. Now for the whole hidden/stolen identity, there's I let you go by Clare Mackintosh. Also The turn of the key by Ruth Ware but I believe you're read that. And The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine, which is lots of fun. They're all thrillers, by the way.

[@saramartins95]

"I love being proven wrong so i can be more right in the future" - we love the scientific method

[@beckyduff]

I got into reading when I was 15-16 years old and it started with The Last Coyote by Michael Connelly, who has a huge series about a homicide detective, Harry Bosch, which is now a show on Amazon Prime. So I do enjoy detective books, and would be interested in seeing that. Also, I was excited to see the same bridge that I vlogged in August during our road trip, during the readEHthon :D It's like seeing your city in a movie/show/book haha. Like at the very end of Dexter there's a scene of the Greyhound bus pulling into "Daytona, Florida" and it's one of our main streets in Ft.Mac!

[@FrodoTheShortOne]

For detective POV I've got a very odd recommendation. It's called Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann. The main POV is a flock of sheep who try to figure out who killed their Sheppard 😅 set in Ireland and written by German author, I really enjoyed it and think due to the non-traditional detective POV you might enjoy it too Kayla 😊

[@tracey7241]

I've been wanting to read that book but never heard anyone talk about it.

[@FrodoTheShortOne]

@@tracey7241 I would definitely recommend it if you can get hold of a copy. It's a nice light hearted detective/ murder mystery. I came across it in a charity shop and have never seen it anywhere else. There is a sequel but it hasn't been translated in English. Fingers crossed it will one day!

[@nikkijohnston2891]

I loved the start of this when you held up the pile of books and there was He started it and The passengers 2 books I absolutely love, (loved the One too, I actually love all of John Marrs books) was really excited to see your opinion. X

[@aubreyjdickens]

this video has me curious about how you'd feel about jenni hendricks' unpregnant since it has some of the quirky road trip tropes but it also is a spin on a lot of those tropes and it's more like about two people having emotional growth and second chance friendship + commentary on abortion but you also could just watch the new movie instead of reading an entire book

[@BooksandLala]

I've heard a lot of great things about that book! I don't prefer to read about pregnancy/miscarriage/abortion type topics if I can avoid it, so I'll be passing on that one- but I may actually check out the movie! thanks for the rec my friend! :)

[@courtneylee.t]

I absolutely loved the book and I’m so keen for the movie but I’m not sure where I can watch it in Australia

[@chainilotus1117]

I liked that book as well. I was thinking the same thing but understand that the topic might not be everyones kind of read

[@Danielle-and-Deborah]

Mosquitoland might be worth checking out. Its a YA roadtrip but it's more about self discovery and family drama than a romance

[@Catie_Joy]

For detective POV, and it could actually also work for hidden/secret identity, The Likeness by Tana French would be an interesting one to see you read in a vlog. It's part of the Dublin Murder Squad series (but *extremely* different from the first book, In the Woods, aside from the fact that the main character was also in that one), following a young detective who has to infiltrate a close-knit friend group (like Secret History/If We Were Villains levels of close) after her doppelgänger is found dead.

[@shannonhughes8488]

i love a good road trip book it's one of my favorite tropes so i'm looking forward to see how this goes~

[@chloeschapters2186]

I was so into this, and then when you started eating edibles on camera, I was EXTREMELY into this; +10000 for more Canadian booktubers lmao

[@megancunninghame2340]

If you do detective POV you should definitely read Defending Jacob!! It starts off as a regular detective pov, but then the main character's son gets indicted for the murder he's investigating. It's amazing.

[@KeriJo12]

Ooh! For hidden identity, I LOVED Lady Maybe by Julie Klassen, Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge, and Jane Doe by Victoria Helen Stone. Two of those also have a favorite trope of mine, a character that you just love to hate, and you can't wait to see their glorious downfall. As far as detective stories, any cozy mystery, but specifically Darynda Jones and her Charley Davidson series. So good!

[@ReadingAce]

I also thought I didn't care about detective povs but I LOVED the Alice Vega books by Louisa Luna, the first one is called Two Girls Down. It's a female Mexican/American detective!

[@ellereadsalottt]

I think I also dislike road trip books, but your transitions prove I love driving songs 😂

[@courtneyr5504]

You look so pretty in this vlog! I love this hair color on you, it really suits your skin tone ❤️

[@emilygrace2589]

You look so beautiful in this video! Loved it, the road trip element was so fun to watch

[@readbyraindrops430]

“THE DEBIT MACHINE WASN’T WORKING” 😂

[@CAPagan]

For the Detective/ Police POV, I would recommend Still Life by Louise Penny. It has that small-town setting you like.

[@Ruth-vh4kq]

13:10 the aggressive way he said that and you just completely ignored it 🤣

[@passantamreltarek9946]

I would love to see a stolen identity themed video. One book I think you'll like that is a YA historical fiction that includes road trips / road races, fame, and stolen identity is Wolf By Wolf by Ryan Graudin.
