    Ahhhhhhh I'm nervous but excited !!! I can't believe you did this 🤭😅🥰
  • @EmiZViolet
    Pachinko might be my favorite historical fiction novel of all time. The pages flew by.
  • Loved the way you took the shoes, picked a book and styled an outfit to match the book. You kept the sponsorship portion fun!
  • Omg! I have to re-read Bunny because I didn't get that last part. I really wanted to re-read it anyway. Wow.
  • @ferventfei
    i watch a lot of kayla's videos so i wonder if you'd like these books because she often likes books that are a hit or miss. im also excited to see her reaction to this video because at first i thought that she knows that u're doing this.
  • @kate-ne
    I know it's not in this vlog but if you do read My Heart is a Chainsaw soon I hope you vlog it because I looooooove it so much and I feel like it's a polarizing book because of the pacing but it sooo pays off and Jade was my favorite character I read last year. Pachinko is also amazing, one of my favorite reads last year 💕 I'm so excited for the show! It's such a long book but it's a journey and a beautiful story, it never FELT long to me. And I just learned so much about the Korean-Japanese relationship in history. It was very eye opening.
  • @wiktoria5992
    ah, The Christie Affair is on my TBR too! I can't wait to see what you think of this book! Also, this video (esp Catherine House part) kind of highlights how much our perception of a book can change because of an audiobook! I find it very interesting! Great video as always!
  • @aliciaguzman
    I love reading weird books ! I can't believe I still haven't picked up Bunny or Catherine House. Ill need to prioritize them this year. Love your channel <3
  • @jewelled_
    I absolutely love these kinds of experiment videos!!
  • @moylop
    I never really interpreted Bunny’s ending as you did, that changes a lot, but at the same time I don’t think it meant that Jonah was conjured from the mud, or maybe it did, I love how ambiguous everything is and that may be the same reason why a lot of people hate it
  • Those shoes look amazing! I am VERY picky with shoes too. Fun video. I haven't read the first two, but I sort of adored aspects of Catherine House. I think that Vita Nostra is definitely an inspiration for that book.
  • @meginthemargins
    ahh two of my fave booktubers in one video!!! (also loved bunny so i’m super excited to hear your thoughts) 🤩
  • @theborky
    two of my absolute favorite booktubers!!
  • This was such a fun video and I’m glad that you enjoyed those books! If you ever felt like testing another booktuber’s taste, I would love to watch it.
  • I watch a bunch of her videos so excited to see your collab! :)
  • @19ballerina96
    The Christie Affair is on my tbr for March! I think it was a good idea for you to put back the Chanel Cleeton books and to borrow them from your library because imo, they were enjoyable, good reads but weren’t as great to me as the Next Year in Havana and When we left Cuba books. But def worth reading. LMAO “all vibes, no plot” 😂
  • @anuja.deshpande
    I'm so excited for you to read The Christie Affair! 😁 It ended up being so much more than what I'd expected it to be.Also, it seems like while the rough structure of events is based on the true story, the details and some plot points might be fictionalised.

    You should do this for gabbyreads and her thriller recommendations (which are usually awesome)
