Reading Booktuber Recommendations

[@HaileyinBookland]

I feel like I just passed a test I didn’t even study for YES

[@annarother7085]

I love how your shirts were kind of matching in Lala's video lol

[@elizabethiman7442]

I never watched Hailey but now I know that she’s trustworthy 👍🏼

[@Tazzie1312]

Yes it must be the matching shirts super power

[@GavinReadsItAll]

“If you hate this book don’t f*cking read this one” 😂😂😂 PLEASE start this trend!!

[@anielson6152]

Honestly, that would be a great trend

[@stormydavis5860]

Would watch 👏

[@KarineBeaulieu1]

THE CONTENT WE NEED!

[@parnz187]

YES!!

[@zeliapoet6953]

Need in life!!!

[@jessethereader]

this was so good! i always appreciate how respectful you are. i always see shade/hate thrown at booktubers for recommending certain books just because the shade thrower didn't like the book, but like.. we all have different reading tastes! can't wait for the next secret video you're working on, because knowing you you've got 15 more you're starting to put together at the moment lol

[@JojoJojo-bd6dz]

It's hard to trust the hype surrounding some books when so many booktubers are paid by disney etc to hype their books.

[@nate10465]

Yes, you put my thoughts into the exact best words. This is why we love her.

[@dlynnemgirl8870]

Exactly! How messed up is that?!?! Also, it is not like the recommender was telling you personally that you will like the book or that you have liked the other books.

[@gabbyreads]

OH MY GOSH WHAT IN THE WORLD AKSHDJSKAK. This is so amazing!! I can’t believe you picked 3 books from my video oh my gosh. You’re my favorite booktuber and I’m dead wow I’m so glad you mostly enjoyed the books I recommended haha. Seeing my video in your video is like a total dream come true for me?? So cool 😭😍🤗 I’m gonna go cry in the corner now thank you

[@MarianaQuesada]

gabbyreads I came to the comment section to specifically look for your mind blown comment 😍

[@JanuarieTimewalker13]

Hahahaha...I was waiting for the freak out 😀 you are totally adorable!!

[@danichristine3296]

Lmaooo i was waiting for your comment Gabby 🤣🤣🤣

[@haleyarzt4252]

Gabby I just subscribed to you because of this video and now I'm binging your videos! Soooo glad to have found you! 👍🏼

[@Quettasbedhead]

Your adorable!! And she loved everything just about that you recommend she even liked your choices!

[@inmyreadingera]

I really wanted to do a video called “If you DIDN’t Like This, Read This” so I could recommend books that both did x plot, but one was better. so if the plot was intriguing but not well-executed then there’s a new suggestion you may enjoy more...if that makes any sense😂

[@courtneykephart8921]

Do it!

[@BooksWaffles]

I've actually created a tag video a while ago with a similar concept and people really enjoyed it. I say go for it :)

[@gabriella2624]

I would love to watch this!

[@inmyreadingera]

Okay, I’m going to do this, but I have some books to read...hopefully by the end of this month it will be up! Thank you for all the kind words- was not expecting that at all😂❤️

[@halliehall3094]

You should do it! I love that concept!!

[@Knicolee13]

The minute The Nightingale came up I think I saw your life flash before your eyes 😂😂

[@WhittyNovels]

"sandy reads a lot. hey girl. who are you?" "hi everyone, it's sandy." "sandy!"

[@TuckerTheReader]

omg, Lala reading booktubers' minds for 20 minutes straight is the best thing ever

[@PeruseProject]

Literally obsessed with all your videos

[@BooksandLala]

what's up #clickbait squad

[@andreamcdowell9871]

BooksandLala I am currently reading war cross and I like it even though I never read ready player one

[@TheTeddybear1992]

Clickbait or not, I loved this video

[@a.n.lashley1073]

I would love a "If you hate this don't read this" video lol

[@Sami-bw7pe]

can someone please make this 😂

[@hannahdulset61334]

I like how you and Hailey coordinated your looks for this video. 😂

[@h2olady8]

I was going to say this. I was like did you plan that Lala?

[@yatogami2919]

I was waiting for her to mention it 😂

[@maybemags]

Your creativity on booktube is unparalleled. All your videos are so unique and full of heart and dedication. We do so appreciate it. YOUR MIND 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@JodiePotak4541]

Mags Campbell wish I could like this 100 times

[@AnniBra]

Gabby is gonna lose her mind

[@alyssa.h]

She's gonna go crazy and I'm so excited to see it lmao

[@punkrockgirlpa]

Hahaha yeah she is XD

[@jessm2913]

@@jacqiewheeler glad to see you here, you are also great! Just discovered recently your book tube channel 😊

[@celestemoreno2343]

And she did lol

[@freeinfiction]

omg i think i normally say my name (hannah) but i guess i didn’t in this one😂😂 thanks for picking my video! i loved hearing your thoughts💗 i’m sorry you didn’t enjoy geekerella ☹️

[@thisstoryaintover]

AH LALA THIS WAS AMAZING. Love these long creative videos from you! Sorry you didn't get any useful recommendations out of my video but I'm so glad you enjoyed Warcross!

[@smallrose323]

We need a "if you hated this book, heres a similar and better version" really love this video!

[@sarakaiser1915]

Where the heck do you get all of your ideas??!? YOU ARE A GENIUS!!! 👏👏

[@divedeep118]

Lala at 39:37 : "Plot twist!" KZbin: ad 😂😂

[@SarahBaird-io2tn]

Exact same 😂

[@kits5960]

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 Same!

[@erinlayke]

I feel like KZbin does these things on purpose lol

[@madelinegaudet4674]

That happened to me also.

[@chandlerainsley]

literally always in awe of the effort and time that goes into your videos. this was so fun to watch and now i wanna go and pick up warcross

[@darkingsrock]

oh my god! thank you so much for calling out the whole "parents aren't own voices" issue!!!! as a disabled woman i constantly see the way society prioritizes our parents over us and i'm grateful to see you talking about it

[@shontelle5527]

Love this idea. Please do a "if you hate this, dont read this"!!

[@VenLouie]

“woah. what a valid recommendation. both mediocre for me but could be great for someone else!” probably what most people think of me. it could be the title of my autobiography

[@jboucher.3990]

VenLouie MOOD

[@nalhsreiqrs8289]

I recommend watching BookswithEmilyFox! She does if you hated this book, try this one instead. ☺

[@sweetly1634]

Do you know exactly what the video is called? I love Emily and really want to watch a concept like that, but can't find it

[@kaystar7741]

When Geekerella got compared to Eliza and Her Monsters i just died laughing 😂. They are not that similar outside the fandom culture lmao.

[@selarason]

Thinks to self: I feel like we haven't heard from Lala in a minute.... I bet she's doing something creative. ...In walks this gem of a video.

[@carlottalovesshinee]

Thank you so much for your dedication to these experiment type videos and for providing interesting and original content! 🌻

[@ohwildesoul]

An absolutely great idea + look at that time stamp = heck yes ❤️

[@misslethality]

57 mins?! ive been blessed

[@JessicaNicoleDickerson]

I have never watched an hour-long video and enjoyed it so much! I appreciate how inventive all your videos are :)

[@theborky]

i have to say that you are probably my favorite booktuber. we have none of the same reading tastes, but the effort you put into making interesting and new video that one else does is always exciting and interesting! thank you for being creative and not being afraid to post super long content❤️

[@izzybookqueen534]

OMG same me and hers tastes are like opposite yet i love her vids so much shes the best

[@Annie-se2qd]

1 year later and i still desperately need the "If you hate this then don't read this" video to happen.

[@lizettyl]

I died at your reaction to The Nightingale making an appearance 😂😂😂

[@astellus]

I just dnf'd the audio book of this is how it always is. Also, I would love to see an "if you hated this, stay the f#@k away from this" video.

[@juditkovacse]

Secret TBR should be the name of these types of videos. There is the reading vlog, readathon video, TBR, 3 thrillers, but secret TBR is definitely a thing on this channel. It's one of the best types of content btw.

[@imbored7119]

"I predict some things that are trying to be plot twist, but that are not plot twists. But that's just... YA" That made my day.

[@MrLaiioSpain]

I can’t believe I’ve just watched an hour long video at 3am and I loved every second of it Also the editing!! You go girl

[@pariah_haven]

I'm all for a video of "if you don't like this stay away from this"

[@xyhanx]

Question: "Can you trust Lala?" Me: "Yes, just as a friend."

[@chanelletime]

LALA YOU MAKE THE MOST CREATIVE CONTENT im literally constantly shocked at your creativity. wow

[@BookedandBusy]

I needed some Lala in my life today so here we are. My favorite secret videos are always the ones when people don’t know they’re choosing your tbr 😊

[@emilygrace37]

This video was so cleverly made, and an awesome original idea. Watched the whole thing and didn’t skip any ads ❤️

[@BooksandLala]

Appreciate you friend 💕

[@becklebooks]

I love how you're involving other booktubers (positively) to make content. This is such an awesome idea. :D And yay Gabby!!!

[@KerryAnnGL]

This is perfect! I was just binging old Lala reading vlogs!

[@user-uk1tl4ct9y]

1. Subscribed after this, because I love this concept and also you're so respectful and fair to everyone/every book. 2. I should really start reading again

[@briannak26]

Honestly you are one of the few booktubers I’ve stuck with the longest. I think it’s because I genuinely love your content and it’s always something new and intriguing. Literal Queen 👑

[@BookaflixTaylor]

LOVED this video idea!!! You always have the best 😍 also your editing.... amazing!

[@ceebeegeegies]

Lala, please do a ‘if you didn’t like this then don’t fuckin read this.’ That would be be so funny. And insightful! And honestly could give some people recommendations. Or a warning.

[@ResOwOnance]

I'm not even a booktuber BUT I'M SCARED FOR MY FAVS.

[@LittleMissStar]

I feel the same - your videos give me so much comfort. I just feel like you're this friend that I can come and chill with and I'm always going to enjoy what you have to say. This video was so awesome. I have been eagerly anticipating it since you announced you had a secret TBR.

[@thelitaddict]

These videos are my absolute favourite style of content you put up! Waking up and seeing an hour long video from you is such a good feeling lol loved it 💗

[@fictionalbeauty]

I know this is an older video but I always love the fact that you validate the fact that everyone is different and can like a book that you didn't and vice versa!

[@sailortwips]

An hour long Lala video 🙌🏼 also what a great idea for a video I love this

[@drawsleepread]

There's so much I love about this video. You waving and saying hi back to the people in the videos made me smile 😂 and I love how seem to remember the books you've read or heard about or are in your radar. God how I wish I had good memory when it comes to books or even just the title names. 😅

[@roz3908]

I loved this idea! Your secret TBRs are always so creative and entertaining. Thanks for providing such great content.

[@TheYABooks]

This was such a brilliant video! I loved every second of it, and I commend you for the dedication to the process because I couldn’t imagine reading a book that I KNEW I wouldn’t like. I’m also just so shook that you were able to read so many books in such a short time! I need to step up my reading game! I just uploaded my Reading Rush TBR, and I’m hoping that I can power through all of those books so that it sparks my love for reading for pleasure again!

[@michabooksandcaps]

The Booktube Queen of creativity and content 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@mattm2451]

I love Warcross I'm glad you had fun with it. I need to get to wildcard myself. And even though you didn't like it, the premise of Weight of Feathers makes me want to read it. When the Moon was Ours was also on my reading list.

[@madelinekennaugh5607]

I literally had a panic attack and almost broke out into hives when she said The Female of the Species because that is my ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOK and I just couldn’t if she didn’t love it

[@TheKillerSnark]

I hated No Exit. HATED. Someone needs to do an "If you hated this book, try this one that was similar, but SOOOO much better." In this case, Intensity by Dean Koontz.

[@lovinglaurenx]

Loved this video! Such a good idea

[@wallacejames221]

It's another sad night, so I'm rewatching my favourite Kayla videos. Thanks for being great, Kayla!

[@katfin2531]

I love these videos. You give your honest opinions and thoughts on the books you read, which as a big reader I really appreciate. I already put your 5 Star on my TBR because it sounds like such a thought provoking book. Can’t wait for for your next video.

[@emilyelizabeth9126]

I genuinely loved this video and have not seen anyone do anything like this! I know I'm late to the party here but I just discovered this channel and I'm loving it! This video was so creative. I wish more booktubers would do more videos like this!

[@victoriarose5455]

you’re my favorite youtuber ever. i wake up every morning to check if you’ve posted and this was such a good thing to wake up to❤️❤️ i read the last time we said goodbye & gave it 3.5 , i enjoyed it, but contemporary isn’t really my groove these days. I read The Test based off your review and gave it 4 stars, it was really good , weird and totally up my alley.

[@WickedWestBooks]

I enjoy just how much effort you put into your videos.

[@WickedWestBooks]

I didn't think when it was brought up that you would like Geekerella very much.

[@Groanola]

I love how you featured some lesser known channels ❤️

[@AbiofPellinor]

You always have such unique ideas! Ugh I love seeing you come up with new things and create, and this was a really interesting video to watch cause I've seen other videos of "if you liked this you'll like this" but I've never acted on any of the recommendations

[@KayBethBookish]

I'm only a few minutes in but you are so cute with your predictions and excitement! I also adore how your eye colour almost matches the greeny-blue books behind you. It's a weird thing to notice, but they're so pretty! :)

[@kassie7597]

I am so excited for this video. We don’t have the same tastes in books but I watch you for your content. It’s so unique and I just love watching it!

[@honeyjinks]

I kind of stumbled across this video and I absolutely loved the whole hour of it! I love your sense of humor and how you talk about reading tastes and recommendations and I subscribed 5 minutes in :)

[@victoriap1561]

You are so creative !! I love your positive energy

[@kierracarlisle9630]

Favorite booktuber. I love how honest and real you are but you’re very open and respectful to others! Your videos are so great!❤️

[@crushgoil]

I am sooooooo happy that you enjoyed Warcross! I’m also nervous about reading The Weight of Feathers. Especially since you didn’t finish it. If you end up picking it up again later please let us know. Great video.

[@cristalgreen7556]

I don't usually leave comments (bad habit, I know), but I'm just so stunned at the work you put into this video, so I HAVE to comment. The video idea made me click because I wondered how you would do that, and honestly you exceeded all of my expectations. Quality content! I can't believe the work you've put into this video. That's true dedication. When I saw how long it was, I didn't expect to watch all of it, but here I am, and I've enjoyed every minute of it. I haven't read most of the (many) books you've mentioned here, but I've read some and your explanations about the remaining books, give me a good feel of whether I would be likely to enjoy them or not. Just from this one video, I already feel like I know your reading style. I'm off now to see what other gems are hiding on your channel. ....This ended up sounding like a robot comment, didn't it? I'm just so stunned....Two thumbs up from me.

[@MrsDoctorShansen]

You always come up with great video ideas. I have always wondered about this! I am currently stuck in the middle of I Believe in a Thing Called Love, so it was great seeing your reaction (it was recommended to me through some booktube content). I was also sitting here before Geekerella and I just knew you were going to hate it. There was no way. You have such a clear taste and that ain't it! Super fun video!

[@Yvette.T]

Only 12 mins in but gotta stop and say god I LOVE your videos Lala, you are awesome 😙💕 And now at the end of your video I reiterate: you're the best. Thanks for being in our lives 😊

[@malorybazillion2799]

Wow I watched this in one sitting. I loved hearing your thoughts right away, as in in the same video, and not having to wait for a separate video

[@TatyanaVogt]

Ahahahaha, it's nice to see you push yourself with these channel. I feel really bad that so many of them were not your favorites I always find myself rooting for you to like a book but its also interesting to see when you don't like them and hearing why. I love watching your reading vlogs!

[@j.n.cahill1086]

Haha, please do the IF You Hated video. Yes, Female of the Species!--I need to get to Sadie soon, then. I am with you on not typically liking books about famous people BUT I just finished Evelyn Hugo and it was an amazing exception for me so highly recommend giving it a go. I felt the same about the Goo book--her actions really unsettled me. Fun idea!

[@madisongracedeluise]

I agree with you on the beginning of Warcross feeling a lot like Legend but then it becomes so unique and different than a lot of other YA books!

[@KendraWinchester]

I just love these “Kayla sets random goals” reading vlogs. They are pretty much a foundation for a new BookTube genre. 😂

[@jedibookmasterivy]

Lala!!! This was so much fun. I always recommend The Female of the Species for fans of Sadie! I think (hope) you’ll like it.

[@jedibookmasterivy]

Ok so I made it to the part where you rate it.. lol I liked hearing your thoughts!

[@izzybookqueen534]

i love ur creative unique video ideas especially ur reading vlogs. It amazes me that you still keep coming up with super fun origional video content, years later. ur awesome

[@aissataamadou]

This is such a creative video idea. I love how you took bias into consideration. I loooved Little Fires Everywhere it was one of my favorite books that I’ve ever read. I just love Celeste Ng’s writing. I definitely agree that I didn’t necessarily like it because of the way it talks about parenthood. It was more of the atmosphere that I enjoyed.

[@alinao4246]

You're one of the booktubers I trust the most. When you recommend a thriller (or any book really), it goes straight on the tbr. Great video as always!

[@LutherJKanso]

Let me just tell you how glad that not only was The Last Time We Say Goodbye the first book that happened to be recommended, but also that you gave it five stars. This book means so much to me, and I love every single page of it.

[@ghostkat]

Haven't even finished this video, but I just wanted to say that your videos are such a sense of comfort for me. Keep up the great work!

[@CompletelyMelanie]

I watched all the way to the end. I am sure there are more than a select few that did. I just love all your videos. You are so creative and put up the best content. You are what I aspire to. :)

[@BobbiReads]

Love this! But I seriously can’t get over how incredibly green your eyes are in this video! They seriously pop!

[@sunshine02ster]

Excellently paced editing and vlogging. This is making me want to add in my already overpiling tbr some of the books you are expressing so much excitement and good opinions for in here..

[@dwightbooks3416]

I’m so happy you liked Warcross!!! I read it because of the hype on BookTube and LOVED it! I can not wait to get the sequel Wildcard!

[@thefrancophilereader8943]

Subscribed. We read so very different books, but you put so much effort in this video. Such a creative challenge!

[@starlitbri]

I was gonna watch this Monday when I was cleaning cause I love having your videos playing in the background, but then I saw the title and Hailey & Hannah in the thumbnail, so I'm watching it now

[@alrightspock]

If I had noticed this video is an hour long I wouldn’t have clicked it but here I am 25 minutes in, highly engaged. I haven’t heard of even a third of these books but I want to watch more of your videos.

[@BooksWaffles]

A genious video idea as always, Lala. I cannot wait to see what you're going to come up with next!

[@nicoledreibelbeis2192]

This was great! I love the long-term projects that you do!

[@AJDwatching]

The creative genius, the icon JUMPED out

[@racheltfisher]

No Exit was/is bonkers, reminded me of a weird book I read about teenagers getting kidnapped and put in a basement, it got dark, but this book was so crazy, I had to give this 5 stars

[@CodiesBookCorner]

Love this idea! Genius as ever
