What a great vlog! Loved that you included the library. I wish more people would do that! We need to support our libraries, especially with this new administration. Your outfits also looked so cute! Can't wait to see your room makeover 😊 Enjoy your week, happy reading 📚
Hi Khalilah. I know of many people who still had up their Christmas tree. You’re not alone. Thank you for taking us on a trip to get books. Always fun watching your vlogs.
so happy to see someone else picking up sanderson's work!! although its *technically* part of his secret projects, it's one of the only books not part of his greater cosmere works and is a standalone universe! it's not one I would personally recommend people pick up as an introduction to his work, but I hope you enjoy it! if it isn't to your taste, I always tell people to read the original mistborn trilogy!! it has a much more authentic look into his writing style and is one of my favorite series of all time!
Ahhhh!!! I’m sooo happy you got the night circus. Its so whimsical and the writing is beautiful and its a rivals to lovers romance!! I rly think you’d enjoy it ❤
I squealed when I saw that this was a bookstore vlog 🥰 love it so much, these are my favorite vids!! The skims outfit is so cute too (both outfits are tbh)
Hi Khalilah! This is the 1st vid I'm seeing from you and I love it! Instant sub! I'm def going to read 1984 this year. I read Fahrenheit 451 and it was also an eye opener. One of my fav lines from it is: "You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them."
Your choices are so solid I'm screaming! Kafka on the shore gets really weird. The night circus is incredible. Brandon Sanderson is the only author I went out of my way to get an Illustrated copy of one of his books. (not the one you have, Tress of the Emerald Sea - It has such a hugely special place in my heart.) - love love love your vlog today! I got a kindle because of you and it's keeping me off my phone : )
I remember reading “The Stranger” as required reading in high school, just seeing the name, Albert Camus and the cover brought back so many memories whew!
The Stranger is indeed good. Camus never missed to be fair. Love his stuff ❤ EDIT: Oh yes, Orwells 1984 was good too. You should read Brave New World by Huxley. Even Handmaids Tale by Atwood. All relevant to our times
my god i missed you and your videos so much 🥲❣, ngl this video was relaxing it healed my soul😌. And gurl how do you even manage to look this cute like how tf and the red bowwwww like stop TOO . CUTE .💓
Thornhedge is so good!! The perfect little fairytale retwist that I genuinely randomly think about. And she’s the perfect size! T. Kingfisher has Nettle and Bone which is another weird and wonderful book that I loved😊
Love your hair bows! Always adds a sparkle ❤ pls do a hair tutorial for curly hair girls like me with all your different hair accessories .. your videos are always a vibe 😊
I love the library!! I am a strong advocate for using your public library. Also fun thing is most libraries have a book sale so you can actually find good book there for very very cheap!
Girl! It’s Jan 29th when I’m rewatching this and my tree is still up. All the other Christmas decor is down, but I’ve been delaying the tree. It give such nice ambient light that I didn’t want to take it down. But I will today… the storage boxes are waiting by the tree. Maybe I’ll throw some white Christmas lights on the olive tree instead. By the way, I just found you… last week I think, and I’ve binged so many of your videos. Love your personally so much!! And your videos are so fun.
aaaahhhhhh!!! i'm so excited for you to read Thornhedge! I read someone in the comments mention Nettle and Bone, and I also absolutely loved that book and would recommend to anyone wanting to read more of her works. as a fan of Brandon Sanderson, I did not particularly like Frugal Wizard's Handbook.. but I am looking forward to your journey with his books! Most fans would say you can start with Mistborn: The Final Empire if you reeeeally want to start immersing in the Cosmere, but honestly for new readers of his, I always highly recommend Tress of the Emerald Sea, followed by Yumi and the Nightmare Painter 🥰
I would spend forever in that library. Mine Library is so tiny and the whole fantasy section is one shelf lol and they don't carry a lot of romance either, but it is also attached to the middle school here
perfect timing! i wanna go to barnes but i’m so busy i don’t have the chance. watching this scratches the itch of wanting to go! love this video khalilah ❤
If you like retellings Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles is great. Cinder is a retelling of Cinderella set in the distant future after WWIII and colonized moon. Scarlet is a Little Red Riding Hood retelling. Cress is a Rapunzle retelilng, and Winter is a retelling of Snow White but she has a twist that all four characters/stories are happening at the same time, and they are all connected to one another. It's a great series.
Yesterday, I went shopping for a book to gift my teacher for their send-off, but I couldn’t resist buying more and ended up with six extra books, yet I’m still jealous of the seventh book I chose as the gift, regretting not buying a copy for myself.
15:37 Girl I really hope you will love "The Stranger", the first line is one of the coolest novel starter. Also if you are interested could you please read "Metamorphosis" by Kafka (he's my favourite author alongside Dostoevskij) it would mean so much.
Congratulations with SKims! The way you were such a lady in your skirt👏I was so impressed. And may I say, your footwear, I have been wearing them every day since Thanksgiving 😂Great vlog! You always make me smile
We still have our mini tree up because honestly no one has gotten to it yet. I'll take it down on my day off this week. (we have three trees total, one green with a theme, one flock dusted with multicolored lights and sentimental ornaments and another 4ft tree with traditional colors. You could say we're obsessed lol).
@khalilahd. Michaels always has deals on the 4 footers. But also if you want a MINI mini tree for a desk or small space go to a dollar tree and they have an 18in one and small decorations for it during the season. I bought one for my room.
First off you’re soooo funny😂!! Your facial expressions send me every time. I heard another creator talking about 1984, I will have to add that to my 2025 TBR. Also have you seen the collector editions for the 1st 3 Harry Potter books? They are absolutely amazing!! Another book tuber I follow showed them in her haul. When I saw them I instantly thought of you. Enjoyed the video and can’t wait til the next one.❤️❤️📚
I have 4 single books to read then I can move on to my books that are Series! I also have a few books to buy to other series I’ve read and I pre ordered sunrise on the reaping. 💪🏻 I have two romance books for February reads. ❤
Hey Khalilah, Happy Tuesday. Getting only 2 books at a bookstore? That doesn’t sound like you at all and I have been here for almost a year. Your love for reading is like my love for RUclips addictive. 4 books really isn’t bad I’m still proud of you because I know it was so hard for you. 😅😊
ngl i dnfed the night circus, for me i couldnt really get into the book and i was only seeing words and no plot ( in my opinion sorry for those who liked it) if you like it a lot of people recommended reading caravel (idk if u ever read it) but i read it and i GARENTEE you'll be shocked from the plot twist its a very well written book that had me gasping love your videos a context
You’re definitely not alone but mine was put away before January started this year 😂😭I was ready for it to go! Haven’t read 1984 but now I’m curious. Probably making you feel how I feel when we watch Silo. I’m like… we just live in a different version of Silo and no one’s acknowledging it!!! 🥲
Brandon Sanderson is a professor at my uni!! I won't be able to take his class because it's a 300 level writing class (prerecs am I right) but it's pretty neat to know this now-popular author I met at my elementary school (flexing much but its got to be said) is so well known and walks around on the same campus I do daily.
Yo, you Crack me up! That's why I like watching your vlogs! 4 books is all good....and there are 2 real thin ones too, soooooo not a lot of room to be taken up! (Girl math) Also.....look at you representing Skims...high five! 🎉❤
the fit is sooo cute! pleaseee go to a local bookstore for your next book store vlog!!! supporting indie book stores is so important!🩷
I’ll try to do this more too!
I don’t have any. The only one as like evil stones and shit
What a great vlog! Loved that you included the library. I wish more people would do that! We need to support our libraries, especially with this new administration. Your outfits also looked so cute! Can't wait to see your room makeover 😊 Enjoy your week, happy reading 📚

The wedding people is so good!!!!! ❤
I liked in a different video quite a while ago where you asked the staff in the bookstore for recommendations!
Your choices are so solid I'm screaming! Kafka on the shore gets really weird. The night circus is incredible.

Oh my gosh the night circus is one of my favorite books!! You definitely need to read it! The writing is amazing and the characters are to die for!
yay!! That's so good to hear! Can't wait to start it!
11:36 That shot pulling the book off of the shelf was so nice!
haha thank you!
“The Stranger” is such a good quick read. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it.
I totally recommend the night circus again it’s a five star read for me!! Also you should defo do more library vlogs 😊
yay! Can't wait to read it!
Omg I'm so excited to see you redo your room and bookshelves!
Love the bookstore vlogs - Happy Sunday!! 💜
Happy Sunday Brianna!
I remember reading “The Stranger” as required reading in high school, just seeing the name, Albert Camus and the cover brought back so many memories whew!
The Stranger is indeed good. Camus never missed to be fair. Love his stuff ❤
EDIT: Oh yes, Orwells 1984 was good too. You should read Brave New World by Huxley. Even Handmaids Tale by Atwood. All relevant to our times
They’re all on my list for this year!
@@khalilahd. Ah, cool beans. It's definitely the year for existential... philosphical... dystopian... feminist... books. Enjoy ❤
@@serenity4eva89 yep and hope she gets on the magical realism train too with Kafka (kinda love hos writing to me he's kinda the Van Gogh of writing)
Mismatched weather fashion is the best!
I like your wit and your engaging delivery Khalilah. As a fairly new subscriber and fellow bookworm, I look forward to your videos.
thanks Nicole! I'm so happy you're here 🫶

Thornhedge is so good!! The perfect little fairytale retwist that I genuinely randomly think about. And she’s the perfect size! T. Kingfisher has Nettle and Bone which is another weird and wonderful book that I loved😊

You‘re just so relatable when it comes to setting yourself a book buying limit & then not stick to it lmfao.
And I tried so hard too 😫
You look soooo cute 😂❤ I love your personality...I am so proud of you for the sponsorships 🎉🎉
omg thank you so much!! this means so much to me 💜
The fit is adorable ! The loungewear is cute too ❤ I love it all!

If you want to read more fantasy, try Metal Slinger!! Sooo good!!❤❤❤
thank you!! I'll look into it!
I love, love that pajamas set. ❤ omg
isn't it cute?? so happy with them!
I want to read 1984 too. I read Animal Farm by George Orwell and I really liked it. Enjoying the cozy bookstore vibes ❤
Yesterday, I went shopping for a book to gift my teacher for their send-off, but I couldn’t resist buying more and ended up with six extra books, yet I’m still jealous of the seventh book I chose as the gift, regretting not buying a copy for myself.

Girl I love Kafka too, he just hits so close to home (sometimes a bit too much 😅)
@Mariam-do6jqYeah that happens sometimes
I will definitely be reading both (hopefully this year)
@ that's great, I hope you'll have wonderful reading year.
One of my book goals for 2025 is to branch out to new genres! The first book in the journey is ACOTAR!
Ahhh have so much fun!!! I LOVED that series
love this for you!
Girl it's so hard to just buy one but I did it! I just purchased my first book of the year 2 weeks ago. I got Heartless Hunter and it's so good!
Love this for you!!
lol I knew you weren't passing the 2 book test when you got a basket! lol the content!🥰
Lmfaooo you could’ve at LEAST pretended 😫😭
knowledge IS POWER and thank YOU for sharing it
Can’t wait to see your thoughts on red rising! My fav read of 24!

We still have our mini tree up because honestly no one has gotten to it yet. I'll take it down on my day off this week. (we have three trees total, one green with a theme, one flock dusted with multicolored lights and sentimental ornaments and another 4ft tree with traditional colors. You could say we're obsessed lol).
haha wait I actually love this!! maybe I'll add a little tree to my room this year
@khalilahd. Michaels always has deals on the 4 footers. But also if you want a MINI mini tree for a desk or small space go to a dollar tree and they have an 18in one and small decorations for it during the season. I bought one for my room.
This was too cute. Would love to see a behind the scenes video too.
I’m excited to see your review on “The wedding people” I just got done with the Audio and it was so good.
wait really?? now I'm excited!!

Hey Khalilah, Happy Tuesday. Getting only 2 books at a bookstore? That doesn’t sound like you at all and I have been here for almost a year. Your love for reading is like my love for RUclips addictive. 4 books really isn’t bad I’m still proud of you because I know it was so hard for you. 😅😊
You really know me Rachel 😭 ! I was so tempted to buy more, but I'm trying to be more mindful this year.
Soon as khalilah said she’s only getting two books I instantly laughed and said yeah she’s not. 😂❤
😂 not instantly!! You could’ve at least pretended you believed me 😪
@ I have every faith in you, that you will not pick two books or less 😂sorry girl 💕
Outfit is giving! I need your sweater details 🎀
thanks bestie!! 🤭
ngl i dnfed the night circus, for me i couldnt really get into the book and i was only seeing words and no plot ( in my opinion sorry for those who liked it) if you like it a lot of people recommended reading caravel (idk if u ever read it) but i read it and i GARENTEE you'll be shocked from the plot twist its a very well written book that had me gasping
love your videos a context
wait, now I'm interested in starting it sooner lol
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts about Kafka On The Shore
Fingers crossed I get time to read it next month!
You’re definitely not alone but mine was put away before January started this year 😂😭I was ready for it to go!
Haven’t read 1984 but now I’m curious. Probably making you feel how I feel when we watch Silo. I’m like… we just live in a different version of Silo and no one’s acknowledging it!!! 🥲
I see "if he had been with me" is on your TBR...
I still have my tree up too..can’t be bothered to take it down😂, you’ve got me wanting to read 1984 now… and that year is my birth year too
It's such a good book! Enjoy it! 🫶
Nice sweater! !
thank you!!
Brandon Sanderson is a professor at my uni!! I won't be able to take his class because it's a 300 level writing class (prerecs am I right) but it's pretty neat to know this now-popular author I met at my elementary school (flexing much but its got to be said) is so well known and walks around on the same campus I do daily.
The way I SCREAMED!! thank you for getting The Night Circus…I really hope you like it! But still share your thoughts if you don’t :)
can't wait to read it!

If I can ask!!! What camera do you use? I love the quality and ofc your videos🤍

Took down my tree today too😭 I recommend you read Fahrenheit 451 after 1984 they hit similarly
haha glad I'm not the only one!
