[@arielreads]

first of all LALA YOUR BANGS!!! your hair looks so good i love it!!!

[@Emu_bird]

I have yet to be spoiled for Gone Girl,,,, I think it might be time to pick it up

[@colormebluuee4192]

THE BANGS ARE BACK!!! I’m quaking in my boots

[@readingrapunzel5092]

Gone Girl made me so mad and I'm still not over it xD

[@abbeyvogel561]

Omg I love your new hairstyle!

[@mickaylakavanagh]

Lala having bangs made me feel like an OG even though I started watching her vids like a month ago.

[@MissSunshineHS]

I wish I could take your hair and pop it on my head. Freaking love it ♥️♥️♥️

[@deirdremccabe1128]

Hannah Ruthy I know!! ... what hair colour is this?!

[@HopelesslyInLove93]

I'm reading The Seven Deaths Of Evelyn Hardcastle right now. At fisrt it's a little slow. Now I'm half way through it and I'm really enjoying it!

[@saraperdue6775]

Love the BANGS! Also, Behind Her Eyes is one of my favorites!! That twist, oh my. I had to read the ending twice!

[@emiliabonet6842]

Your hair is always sooo glossy and glistening !! I would love a haircare routine 💕

[@WOAHnessa]

".......it's more like a cult." LOL

[@peachykeenchy8194]

Vanessa Silverio my bf is gaming beside me as i was watching thing and that part made him chuckle

[@rwaggs2623]

Great idea for newbie recommendations to read a mystery version of what they already read. Genius!

[@alinao4246]

I’d recommend The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sagerfor people who are trying to get into thrillers. It’s one of the first ones I’ve read and it really made me fall in love with mystery thriller novels!

[@piae106]

i love this recommendation format/video idea sooo much

[@indiamay4975]

I thought I was being recommended an old video because of the bangs! Glad to see them back, your hair looks great :D

[@chanelletime]

OMG BANGS!!!!!! I AM SLAYED

[@skyglow5133]

Love your videos💕 please keep being literally the most honest person on KZbin

[@mmmcookies8814]

For the ocean recommendation, I really liked We Will Meet Again by Renee Collins, which is a YA murder mystery where the private beach on the property acts as a portal for a time loop

[@g.r.proffitt3715]

The hair looks gorgeous

[@hayleemore4618]

THE HAIR 😍😍

[@positivelyrogue7093]

Broken Girls also is a good boarding school book!! Loved it!

[@melissarackley4048]

Low key high key LIVING for these bangs! Gurl 😍

[@godslittlestidiot2984]

oh SHIT my lovely wife. never thought a thriller until you sold me on that one and I LOVED it. and i just finished turn of the key as well. your recs work for me

[@dark1Ordeen]

I would listen to you on a podcast for hours 🥰

[@issianne7552]

Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng has some mystery involving sisters, and I really enjoyed it!

[@danamelton1738]

I would love to see you do a horror recommendation video. I am a horror reader all year long and would love to see what you could do with that sort of video.

[@TheeKookyWildflower]

Wow! Thank you for selecting my post. I agree "The Good Daughter" entertains and I recommend it. I will give "Emma in the Night" a shot.

[@GabrielaGarcia-im3ky]

Lala! Your hair is sooooooo freaking cute! I love it! It suits you really well! And love this video.

[@lindseymarburger2374]

Your hair is so cute! Love the color soooooo much!

[@brinleyhoop1328]

every book lala speaks about i need to read

[@meaganleereads]

Close-knit friend groups doing spooky stuff is an overly-specific recs video I want to see!

[@missmermade9331]

If you are looking for cruise mysteries you can also check out Passenger 23 by Sebastian Fitzek. It has a great twist

[@Ann86dk]

Whenyou started talking about Gone Girl I was like - yeah that's me! I want to read it, but I'm also proud of having been able to avoid spoilers all this time!

[@vale29mo]

The bangs!!! You look so cute

[@joshhedgepeth]

OMG yes! The Turn of the Key. I just finished it, and that ending made the book for me. fantastic.

[@27Rita27]

Yey I was just thinking the other day that I wanted to start reading thrillers and this video is super helpful! Thanks Lala!

[@mparlanti]

I highly recommend The Silent Patient. 😊

[@katelyndepew6526]

your bangs look SO GOOD also this video is perfect since I'm going to read only thrillers for the month of october

[@courtgarris1396]

I have never disliked a thriller that you have recommended. Not once. Super excited now because there are a couple here that I have not read!!! Yay😄

[@MissyMaysReadingNook]

For days that repeat themselves, I’d highly recommend Before I Go To Sleep by SJ Watson. It’s about a woman who forgets everything about herself when she goes to sleep (think 50 first dates) and she keeps a journal about her days to help herself remember. But while she’s journaling, she’s figuring out that someone isn’t telling her the truth. It’s an oldie, but it’s a classic. I always fly through it!

[@sillysylsara]

Love your new hair!! Here's a cool idea, you can read books that have a blurb lot review by your favorite authors!! Maybe to see if books they're reading match your taste :)?

[@nicoletoohey8078]

Love the new hair!

[@jelielm.8103]

Your hair looks so good with baaaaangs!!

[@zoeedelaney]

okay wow SO many good books, my wishlist just grew so much!

[@alexandraroselyn]

I love the bangs!!

[@maireadsbookshelves]

I got ‘My Lovely Wife’ for spookathon, I don’t read thrillers often and am so excited for it!

[@karlisbooks]

um the bangs???? you look absolutely gorgeous! so excited to check these out omg

[@euginiailiadou7963]

This is such a nice video idea. I would really like to see it as a series of recommendations to viewers

[@annaswanangel91011]

I thought I would hate Behind her Eyes but it's one of my absolute favorite for that damn ending.

[@eendju]

A few weeks ago I discovered your channel and you inspired me to read more thrillers (I usually read non-fiction). Today two books arrived in the mail: Gone Girl (because you promoted it very well) and Sometimes I Lie (because a locked-in syndrome is my worst nightmare). Very excited to read those. Thanks for all your recommendations and great videos! 😊

[@mslaureenslibrary]

Just finished If We Were Villains based on your recommendation. It was not usually something I would pick up. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for more recs.

[@Unphilosophize]

Love your new hair cut! Thanks for the fun recs!

[@OneBrokenDove]

' I, Ripper' by Stephen Hunter is a good one! The book is set in a way where are you are in the perspective of the killer we never and the journalist who is supposed to be finding finding out the truth. The perspectives alternate between the killers diary and the journalist memoir.

[@meganball4282]

Your bangs are super cute!!!!

[@urbanpineapple6427]

KZbin: thriller recommendations Me: KZbin: by BooksandLala Me: *quickly opens Barnes and Noble tab*

[@tinctures_]

The Ruins by Scott Smith is an isolated thriller/horror. I’d love to know your thoughts about it.

[@loytoco]

I love your hair style! You look gorgeous!

[@hfollman98]

Love love LOVE the hair! ♡

[@annajung1234]

For a clos-knit group of friends doing spooky things, I think Donna Tartt's The Secret History fits the description. And it's just an amazing book that has so much to offer. It's beautiful, tragic, and disturbing. For a mystery involving sisters, I would also recommend The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. It's a modern gothic novel and has books and writing among its other prominent subject matters. So if it seems like something you might like, definitely check it.

[@ThisIsMyEverybody]

Loved your connections on each category! Definitely got new ideas... Plus thought about books I had already read in a "new category", which has sparked a new interest in what I might be reading next.... Basically, lots of new, new, new!.... PS: I completely love the bangs and new coif! Fab!.... ✨😎✨

[@aster_3188]

i'd looove to see this type of video again, but with different genres this time! (of course if you want to, no pressure) :) +sorry for my english

[@Aaliciahopee]

Thank you for all the cool book recommendations !!!! Also I love how you go to do a thriller recommendation video and three of the bookshelves behind you are empty 😂🙌🏼☠💕

[@katherinelake727]

I just finished the Turn of the Key and sadly it was my least favourite Ruth Ware book. Just bought My Lovely Wife and hoping to start that soon!

[@abeautifulchaosofbooks]

This is type of content I need in my life right now!

[@EmmieK]

Hi, I just found you channel and I must say I really really enjoy your content. I have been searching for members of the booktube community to resonate more with in terms of opinion and preferences and I have finally found that here. I like man other booktubers but have felt disconnected and even though I love them, felt that I needed to find more. Especially since I found my taste changing as I am going into my late middle/late twenties. Your videos are honest and interesting, without feeling like their trying to be. Although I am sure you work quite hard. So thank you and yeah. Glad I found you.

[@bookishalex18]

I love that you did a whole thriller recommendation video. My October tbr keeps getting larger and larger. Also, not going to lie, I got overly excited when I saw my comment in your video. It made a bad day really good so thank you :)

[@christinelagueux8155]

I love your thriller recommendations!!!!

[@EttuBrody]

I just started the video but I immediately have to say that the bangs look SO GOOD

[@LorisBookTrials]

I love your bangs!!!!! I am definitely going to have to watch this video later, when I have paper and pencil by me. I freaking loved No Exit, it was a 4.5 star read for me. The missing season and watching you, I did already put on my wishlist. Thanks for the different recommendations. And I can't wait to read the turn of the key and lock every door. As well as my lovely wife. Which I have already bought because of your videos.

[@silentwings1323]

If you want a beautiful ocean centred book try The Tender Line by Kate Allen. The cover just speaks to me on a huge level because I love the ocean and I love sharks. The book is a MG/YA that deals with grief and mental health but everything about it is beautiful.

[@tnayeen.ashghatank]

Omg I can't believe I made it into the video!! 😭❤️ Thanks for the recs! It's true, the few thriller movies I've watched that didn't keep me up for weeks were domestics. I'll give them a go!! 💞

[@mckenziestaley9063]

Any Paula Hawkins book will probably be a good entrance for you as well. At least her latest Into the Water was very domestic. I have not read Girl on the Train yet.

[@tnayeen.ashghatank]

@@mckenziestaley9063 thank you! 💞

[@tmunster475]

The bangs are back!!!!

[@taffers07]

One you might like that I've just finished on audio is Stolen Things by R.H. Herron, really enjoyed it x

[@Bookishbroccoli1]

Thank you, Kayla. I love you as a friend 😊

[@crazyvi4584]

I added some of your recommendations to my wishlist. I don’t read that many thrillers, but I think some of them will work for me whenever I am in the mood for one. Thanks!

[@gennareads_3333]

I read No Exit after I saw it in one of your vlogs and I literally loved it! After that I just bought the Turn of the Key and I plan to read it in October! I definitely want to get more into thrillers again!

[@MsAdlerHolmes]

A lil off topic but I've got Dig by A. S. King on my shelf and haven't read it yet. I'm Hella curious what you think of it.

[@librarylady86]

For thrillers set in a boarding school I recommend The Broken Girls by Simone St. James. It jumps between 2 timelines and the timeline set in the past takes place at a boarding school. The school is still a large part of the present timeline, and it also involves sisters and there's a touch of paranormal. For cult thrillers, The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly by Stephanie Oakes. Thrillers for "beginners" I recommend The Hanging Girl by Eileen Cook, it's YA so it's more "light", it's not gory or scary. I would also recommend Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore by Matthew Sullivan. Don't Try To Find Me by Holly Brown I think is a good thriller for "beginners". Thrillers with an unreliable narrator I recommend Before I go to sleep by S.J. Watson, Sweetpea by C.J. Skuse, and I Love You More by Jennifer Murphy.

[@dudeitsstacy]

The Asylum series by Madaline Roux!!! I read the entire series and the companion books in a week.

[@yvetteb.4549]

Can you do another Stephen King video? I’m just dipping my toes in so would love to hear your thoughts. I saw the one you did some years ago. I’ve only read Carrie. I’m thinking of reading Salems Lot next.

[@alexise.263]

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS

[@alenasmolemoreader3584]

I would recommend Sadie and You, they are so good

[@genresandjournals]

Love this video! Thanks for all these recommendations!

[@VenLouie]

before i start watching, can i just say, this hair is bangin

[@VenLouie]

pun not intended

[@biedronak1201]

It’s because you are the Queen of Thrillers ❤️

[@redcoloratura1]

Just finished Behind her Eyes and this is one of the best books I’ve ever read!! Holy plot twist!! Thanks so very much for the recommendation. Definitely the best book I’ve read this year. 😌👍🏻

[@lynxlou]

Love when you do these videos! Also love our hair!

[@kimicosh3903]

Thank you I'll take all 😍

[@confuzzledbev3862]

For the sisters one I recommend "If You Knew My Sister" by Michelle Adams. Although I only gave it 3 stars.

[@silentkillermuffin]

Thank you for the video, I have got many books to read now😁

[@bookwarmlady5367]

Have you read chocolate chip murder by Joanne fluke ? Awesome series

[@tomesandbrushes5094]

I got halfway through both My Lovely Wife and Watching You but couldn't quite vibe with them. After hearing your recommendations for them I think I'll give them a second try. I wonder if it was simply I was listening to an audiobook and that wasn't connecting with me. I almost abandoned "Her One Mistake" by Heidi Perks but switched to the print version and it became one of my favorite books of the year. If you haven't read it, I'd suggest it. It seems like it would fit what you like. As for mysteries for people who get scared easily. I'd suggest cozies like Hannah Swenson series or the Agatha Raisin or the ten million other series available. You get the mystery aspect without a lot of the scares (or graphic sex or violence). I know they aren't for everyone and they aren't high literature but they a great introductory tool.

[@radicaldreamer18]

I would recommend any Lois Duncan book to all teenagers. I read those over and over again as a teen. Love those.

[@mpsensha]

Okay, the list of books has some new additions, thank you for that and there's a neat pile of books for spookathon. I'm ready!

[@TheTeddybear1992]

I loved your video and thanks to all these recommendations, my the is continuously growing, thank you 😍😍😍

[@skyliegough7294]

Yay!!! I’m so excited for this video it’s going to give me good recs for Spookathon

[@kristenbooks]

Not to mimic all of the other comments but I usually dislike bangs and don't think many people can pull them off well but they always look fantastic on you!!!

[@My0ceei]

I knew what was happening all along when I read “ the wife between us” ! How fun it must have been to not know and be surprised. Same for gone girl.
