tier ranking the books

[@sunkissedbeautyxo]

I think you should tier rank your tier ranking videos

Pleasssse keep it 😂 i love it too

[@yusurkassem4174]

Watching Lala explain what each drink represents and why the books should go in that category was like watching someone bs their way through a presentation that they have not looked at before lmao this is gold haha

[@BooksandLala]

Oh I actually left My Heart is a Chainsaw in the wrong category LOL. I was explaining why that tier felt wrong, but then I left it there anyway 😳

[@allisonpiazza2317]

I love your relationship with editing Kayla. #goals

[@BooksandLala]

We're very supportive of each other 🥰

[@FreshlyReadBooks]

"but the tomato of it all really ruined it" is my new favorite way to describe a book I liked parts of but disliked a core piece of it too much to enjoy

[@BooksandLala]

wow I clearly need to work on this video masking thing, I have no idea why part of it got so weird 😅

[@bookedonafeeling]

Omg you talking to editing Kayla is adorable. You always genuinely make me laugh in your videos!

[@MoodyMegReads]

My fav Lala video this year was reading the books in the air bnbs and the shopping under the influence comparisons. 💜 Those were such a fun and different way of branching out of your reading comfort levels!

[@BookedandBusy]

I like celery but the tomato of it all ruined it 😂😂 my new fav Kayla quote

This video makes me feel really confident in my preference for Margaritas 😆

Thank you Kayla for keeping me alive for another 45 minutes 🤩🥰

Omg lmao I love the way you tied rank books it’s so entertaining 🤣🤣 this is great! It’s also so fun to see you tier rank all your secret TBR videos! I love it 🙌

Your mind is so creative I'm always obsessed with and inspired by your video ideas😍

I had to get a glass of red wine as I was watching this. 🍷 And Kayla you have to be the hardest working person on booktube. Wow! I'm constantly amazed. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@jacob2813]

tbh these are some of my fav videos because ur so brutally honest 🥰

[@taliw7736]

Haha that intro. Yesss Lala love tier rank videos recently :D

[@ashlysamone8062]

🍃🪨🌱I’ve been binge re watching all your old vids the past 2 weeks (thank you for keeping my mind occupied between books so I don’t panic about the world lol) and I was thinking you might like Eartheater bc kinda earth magic lol🍃🪨🌱

[@BooksandLala]

Yesss I recently bought it!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@biancareads]

I'm aiming to get more into thrillers in 2022 so when it pops up on my TBR game might just have to come get some margarita picks

[@leilajaafari8436]

The fact that Kaylas favorite drink is an old fashioned is a mood. I liked these ratings.

[@NoPress7]

These drink categories make perfect sense to my brain lol

[@ktxx22]

Seriously your content is GOD TIER! Thank you for always being one of the most entertaining booktubers! I’m always looking for new folks to watch if you recommend someone?!

[@lauras9071]

i love old fashioneds - especially with orange.

[@disastart]

i'm not a big thriller reader but at the beginning of the video i chose margarita (my fun drink of choice) and the few thrillers i've read and enjoyed ended up there! i'm going to try and pick up some more from that category!!!

[@BetweenLinesAndLife]

This feels so intense and I‘m honestly here for it

[@luizafernandes3955]

My favorite themed tbr you did is the first youtubers recommendations one because that was when I found your channel 🥰

[@themothdan]

id love to see the tier ranking for your worst books; also i like these videos too lol sometimes if i dont know a book or dont remember your thoughts on it it gives me a vibe of what to expect and stuff

[@niniromao2221]

i already know imma be coming back to this margarita tier 100 times for thriller recs

[@TaylahLouiseBudgets]

I was totally in and following your drinks until you blasted my shot of choice at the end 🤣🤣🤣 Also watching this makes me realise that I only consume books with mass appeal and that I always like the books that you don’t 😅 (The Silent Patient, The girl on the train, the woman in the window, every vow you break) 🤫

[@MissBOverseas]

my favorite drink is a margarita and like the ONLY TWO books that i've read out of ALL OF THOSE ended up in margarita , well done lol. And now I'm super interested in CJ Tudor and Samantha Downing!! Also interested The River at Night, I think in a previous video of yours you mentioned that it was like a pure thriller and no mystery? I feel like that's exactly what I'm looking for

[@hardbackhoarder]

so anyway working on my "reading kayla's margarita books!" vlog now

[@morganreads1047]

Lmfao the shapes 😭😂

[@3www_mariie]

YES was looking for a last vid to watch before bed 😈

[@kate-ne]

I feel like there were so many quotable moments in this video 😆 I was so surprised you put Rock Paper Scissors in margarita and it made me so happy! I loved how you ranked the thrillers not necessarily as tiers but more as stylistic categories with some shade 😏

[@morganreads1047]

IVE BEEN WAITING ALL DAY

[@20shourya]

that's what she said

[@booknerdwithlipstick]

Somehow your drink tier ranking made so much sense to me! I'm still a Rum & Coke reader so that was a perfect reading list for me 👌

[@riankoch9126]

What you said about Behind Her Eyes is soooo true. That was the end for me with Sarah Pinborough’s thrillers

[@mynameischrista]

Kayla calling my favorite drink for the past 15ish years entry level is 👌🏻😂

[@erinmariecece]

I would love to see a drunk vs. high tier ranking books videos, and only YOU KAYLA can deliver 😂

[@yasminprosser4085]

I was a bit late and I’ve just picked up House of Leaves and I’m only a 1/4 through but it’s definitely engaging!

[@genresandjournals]

Ok off to read all the Margarita books!

[@pumpkinsspiced]

I understand why you put the reading like my Zodiac sign one so low, but I loved that video so much!

[@megan_the_grey]

It was actually really interesting watching you rate the "Reading like_______" group because I have only good memories of all of these 😂 These are the videos that made me fall in love with your channel, they are SO creative!

You talking to editing Kayla made me chuckle 😂

"the tomato of it all really ruined it" has me cracking up

[@laurenloveslibros]

Margaritas are my favorite and I love Riley Sager, gave The Night Swim 5 stars and all the rest you put in that category are ones that are highest on my TBR based on their synopsis 👀

[@wishonamoonbeam]

So I LOVED Survive the Night it was my first Riley Sager book and I thoroughly enjoyed it

[@MonicaSilva-rh7lm]

Me too. It’s my third riley sager tho.

[@sarahlopod]

Margaritas are my FAV so i might have to challenge myself to read that category 👀

[@shannonhughes8488]

had to make myself an old fashioned when you started talking about how much you love them lol, but i do orange peel and a luxardo cherry

[@jennawar13]

I chose margarita and I stand by it lol A lot of them are on my TBR still maybe I should do a “margarita readathon”

[@TheMintw]

I read The Only Good Indians, The Year Of The Witching and The Hollow Places this year because of your recommendations and all of those are in my top 10 of the year! So thank you 😄 Also this year I discovered I like Ruth Ware. I think that maybe either your rum & coke, margarita or wine category would be for me since I read thrillers pretty much only to have fun time and read something not that deep. For example I read The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley after Dune because even though I loved Dune I feel like my brain needed a break after it. Also I'll defend a bloody Mary til the say I die even though all my friends find it disgusting.

[@lunaumbrasbibliothekderide9453]

I think I will try to read the margarita category. It will be fun

[@kells11290]

The margarita category is definitely my kind of thrillers!

[@20shourya]

that's what she said

[@chelseybun]

The only issue I have.. if goodnight beautiful is for beginners.. one by one should also be for beginners. It may be polarizing but it's polarizing because it went back to the basics.

[@BooksandLala]

you are absolutely correct

[@problematique1]

Old fashioned with an orange twist IS MY DRINK 👌🏻

[@20shourya]

that's what she said

[@RileyMarie_]

I have learned that I am a margarita thriller girl

[@BooksandLala]

Margarita thriller girl supremacy

[@kitkatkc9]

Agree that old fashion is best with an orange 🍊😋(I’m biased though since cherries make me sick) chose the old fashion category since it’s closest to my favorite drink a whiskey sour 🥃🍋 If I did this I would have a green tea martini as the underrated category bc omg that drink is amazing 😍😋🍸

[@treasaseelke7472]

Now, I can't have an old fashioned because I have Celiac disease and an allergy to dark liquor so I just pretended that one was a double vodka cran the whole time and I really agree with you.

[@littlemiss131]

Best stranded in the woods creepy scary book? Any suggestions?

[@ChloeKaydeex]

omg love this video so much Kayla 😍 honestly think I'm going to post a reading vlog of me reading all the books from the alcoholic drink category I chose before you started ranking the thrillers (hint: I chose margarita so that's a lot of books haha probably won't get the video up anytime soon) 😂

[@littlemiss131]

Final girls or lock Every door ? For my next read.thnx

[@kelley.s]

I was shocked that Jane was woof, the discussion was so fun that for me it would be solid or iconic! But I also gave the book 4 stars so I am biased

[@NicolesBookNook94]

Hard agree that old fashioned’s are better with an orange but I like cherries more which I why I love manhattans. Which feels like a very specific noir drink haha

[@tkdbookgeek]

Me, very intently watching that last segment even though I don't read thrillers and I don't drink: *nodding after every placement* huh, yeah, that seems fair

[@Sam82631]

This video was everything

[@a.n.lashley1073]

I'm sitting here legitimately thinking about reading each book in each category to compare them all... Next year is gonna be a crazy reading year

[@macandmegan9977]

can you make a playlist of all of the secret tbr videos?

[@sarahalvarez9803]

Am I crazy or if My Lovely Wife missing from the ranking? Need to know if Samantha Downing is all margs! 🍹

[@BooksandLala]

Ahhh yes My Lovely Wife. I think I would have struggled between margarita and wine, but would have leaned toward margarita I believe 🤔

[@justinkhchen]

I love old fashioned, so I appreciate that category - Eight Perfect Murders is SO perfectly 'old fashioned' it's not even funny. (And yes, definitely NO to cherry)

[@Elisarae13]

And now I’m going to do a reading vlog for each of these where I also obviously have to drink the drinks

[@BooksandLala]

Now *that* sounds like a good time 🤩

[@dreamfall815]

What makes a good Old Fashioned vs a bad Old Fashioned? I've never tried one before, but now I'm intrigued.

[@BooksandLala]

The thing about an old fashioned is there's nothing disguising the flavour of the alcohol, unlike many other mixed drinks. So usually you have to try like 10 different whiskey/rye/bourbons before you find the right one for you. As far as the actual making of the drink, I've had bartenders use terrible bitters, far too much bitters, served at a poor temperature, the wrong type of sugar, you name it. It's an easy drink to get "wrong" you could say.

[@taliw7736]

Such a coordinated queen! what a wild idea hoping to do this fun idea even this is not "trending" since who cares do the content you'll love! Let me know in the replies if you would listen to a podcast with, " book tiers, book reviews, if you love this book you'll like this tv show or movie etc. movie trailer reaction, writing like my fav authors, clean with me, study with me, my favorite songs. etc Do you like glow up material? Well my serendipty podcast will be shown to my close friends and family and soon hopefully to others. If you were to watch an ideal podcast what would it's topic be? Would you listen to motivational and calming podcasts yes or no and, why? Thanks booktube communtiy and friends / enemies whoever love ya stay healthy. :D

[@steelcutoaths3033]

As per usual, I dropped everything to watch this, and I don't even like tier ranking videos. 😂 This was definitely a fun video! I think I would have put Miracle Creek in the wine category. I don't think it's the easy, fast-paced read that I would categorize for the margarita tier 😂 It has layers to it, much like the flavor profiles of wine and it's a book you might want to savor, rather than fly through.

[@BooksandLala]

I might be remembering the opening scene specifically.🙈 I remember it being SO immersive and got right into it. Whoooops I'm sure you're right

[@steelcutoaths3033]

[@Erikareadsbooks22]

On my way to read the margaritas

[@wormdoodles]

You missed The Secret History, which I feel like is the very definition of an old fashioned- 1000 pages, relatively slow-paced, pretentious, the people who love it adore it, the people who hate it despise it. I think most if not all literary thrillers in general would go in that category- Eileen, In the Woods, The Collector, The Maidens, etc. Personally, I would put If We Were Villains in Bloody Mary. I just don't get why so many people love that book so desperately, but that might be my fault for reading The Secret History before it.

[@BooksandLala]

Honestly every time I refer to TSH as a mystery/thriller it just feels wrong lol, so I left it out haha

"hello friends and enemies" aahh is this a reference to Izzy's channel? (Happy for Now)
