I've read Nettle & Bone or I would have for sure!! It's my least favourite T Kingfisher but I see why people love it!! & I'm SO glad you got your video up early so I could include you!! It never feels right without a Lexi submission. 💖🤗

I always appreciate how you give other booktubers such a spotlight and lead in these videos. As always - perfection in planning and execution. This is better than going to the movies.

KAYLA 😭 absolutely freaking out that I was included. Life = made 💕

Love this for you ❤

Know My Name by Chanel Miller was one of my favorite non fiction books ever. I am both a survivor of SA and work with children survivors of SA. This book honestly really changed me as a person by saying "yes, this system sucks and you can't control it or fix it yourself, but individual moments of kindness still matter, respect and empathy still matter, and professionalism still matters". It really did a lot of healing of my heart, especially reading it while prepping to testify in a trial that had very low odds of conviction (which was, in fact, not successful). It kept me motivated that I can still make a difference, and that even if the legal system fails, I can still make the journey easier for my fellow survivors. I can't be anything but the kindest version of myself.

Me: *puts out a late top 10 video and feels slightly reassured that Kayla won’t pick something from my list and hate it again Also me watching this video: 🫠 Still one of my favorite videos to watch every year, and I’m honored to be included! 🤍

consistently my favorite book tube channel. If I haven't been on KZread for a while, this is my first choice to catch up. I love how much you lift up other book tubers and are always trying new things!

I feel that I would 100% would not have enjoyed the Push as much as I did if I were a mother! This was so fun 🥰 thank you for always keeping me company on my lunches haha

I love how you consistently support other creators. Not just in this video but throughout the year ❤️🥰😍 You're the best. I'm so hyped for this video 😊

Omg it me!!!! 💛 So glad you took a chance on Sirens & Muses 🥰📚

I’m so happy Unlikely Animals worked for you! Love to see that one getting more love! ❤️ also I’m so glad that’s the one you chose because you probably would hate The Island and The Housemaid 😅

I am legit crying watching you cry with And Every Morning and remembering how I SOBBED through 20 solid minutes of the 60 minute audiobook. Only Fredrik Backman can pack so much of an emotional punch in so few pages. The man is a wizard.

We love a studio Kayla production!

I honestly wait ALL year for this video ❤ it’s so creative and a great way to get new TBR books loved this 😊

Omg I look forward to this video every year, so it was so cool to see that I was included!! I also definitely need to read The Boyfriend Project series! 😍

I don't know about everyone else but this video not only gives me great book recommendations but also channel recommendations!! I always check out at least more than 2 of the people you mention, and I think that says a lot about what you do for the booktube community

KENYA MENTION WE LOVE TO SEE IT! ❤

im super sick atm so this vid was EXACTLY what i needed to keep me company

loveeee kenya, happy to see her here!

I love watching people's favourites videos, because I always end up discovering loads of new booktubers to watch! 📚

Life goal of being included in one of these videos is complete! 🥺 I was SO excited to see the other side of night on your IG and now I’m so nervous to hear your thoughts on my rec! 😅😅

watching this after chandler's video from today makes me both laugh and feel bad for her. glad you got so many great reads!! this def made me want to check out on earth we're briefly gorgeous

I literally have never clicked a kayla video faster! Been waiting a literal YEAR for this one!!!

Did I watch the members only extended version of this? Yes Am I gonna watch this version too to give Kayla the views?! Also yes 🥰❤️

Girl, I'm reading The Push right now and have cried multiple times because of the visceral memories of the newborm stage.

On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is one of my favorite books of all time. I knew you would love it🥹❤️

I’ve been having a tough couple of weeks so this video is just what I needed ❤

Yayyy so glad you loved 2 of my all-time fave books: Know My Name and On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 And Nothing to See Here has been near the top of my TBR for a while, so this was the final push I needed to pick it up!!

Feature film, gotta love it! And thank you for all the creator recs too!! So much to watch now 🥰😍

THE dedication to the videos is amazing!

I love how excited you are about finding new favorites and feeling connected with your fellow booktubers. I found so many new people to follow because of this! Great video. ❤

Can I give this video 5 stars? I love the way its done, and I love that you introduce us to new book tubers! Thanks !

making me wanna re-read Black Cake!!! it was my favorite book of 2022 so glad you got around to reading it❤️

I literally cut out a clip by accident of me talking about how I went back and *re-read* portions of the book, and decided to bump it up to a 5 star! It's absolutely worth the re-read and I hope you do!! 🤗💕

Thank you for including me in your video Kayla!!😭🥺 I’m so happy that you loved the book!!!!

I’ve been waiting for this!!!

OMG YES. Been waiting for this one. 🥰🧡 Finna is amazing and if you liked it, you should definitely check out the sequel which is Defekt. Know My Name by Chanel Miller is one of the best books I've ever read. Period. I've said this time and time again but the book broke me down but built me back up. I absolutely love her and this book and I recommend it all the time albeit cautiously because it can just be so triggering. YAY for so many 5 star reads through this! 💞

Yes!! I immediately put The Other Side of Night on hold. You had me at British. Unlikely Animals and Finna went immediately on my TBR. And I’m saving Know My Name for sometime when I think I can get really angry without punching someone. Also I’m listening to the Backman book and I’m 72 and a grandma so you can imagine how that’s going. I loved this video!! Cheers.

imagine how excited i was to wake up and see that this was NEW. i almost passed it thinking it's your one from last year that i've watched approx 100000x. guess i'm not going back to bed any time soon. you're the best, kayla!

Our favorite director is back 🥹

I can't believe it's another year. I feel like I just watched this video. It's one of my favorite!

I love finding new creators from this video every year.

This is my fav. video that you make every year!

Your crying was making me cry-emotions so palpable

Like many others, when the new year comes around, I look forward to this video so much!

‘Screw all of you’, takes a bit of chocolate. What a vibe ✨

One of my favorite videos to watch at the beginning of each year, thank you!

This editing!!!!! So good. I’m so excited to read some of your favorites from this.

I want to thank you so much for making a video like this. I have a personal goal of only watching youtube videos from my subscribed list (I'm a new subscriber!) and I explicitly don't watch any algorithm recommended videos. I _love_ it when creators recommend or shout out other creators they like because it makes it a lot easier to follow new people :)

honestly I live for your long vlogs and I look forward to this one in particular every year!!

Oh my god I haven’t even read the book, but I literally have tears streaming down my face watching you cry reading it. I don’t know if that means I should read it or never read it!

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE VIDEO OF YOURS. IM DROPPING EVERYTHING RN

I read The Push when I was pregnant with my son, and loved it but, it would be interesting to see if I would love it as much now if I were to reread it 😅 Thank you for including me in this video! And thank you for all the amazing creator recommendations; so many channels I’m excited to watch now.

Severance is going straight to my tbr. I enjoyed Leave the World Behind, and would love to read more books like it 💕

this is literally my favourite video i watch every january, i am so happy right now!

Wow wow wow, I had never seen one of your favorites videos (like this one) and I am blown away. Loved it!! Added so many to my tbr 😍

Not me crying just watching you read the Backman. God that book breaks my heart. 😭

This is the funnest video of the year, it feels like an Event. I added Finna and The Other Side of Night to my TBR, yay! I'm sad The Honeys wasn't more of a win, I love that book so much, but I'm glad you at least somewhat enjoyed it!

i got home from class needing to write an essay and dropped everything to watch this feature length film. most definitely worth it!

I absolutely look forward to this series every year!!

first video back after a couple years away from booktube.

Was really looking forward to this upload! In the spirit of reading favourites, I just finished Bunny. Wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did but it ended up being 5/5.

The way I just *screamed* YES out loud to myslef, like a crazy person

One of my favorite books I read last year was The Swimmers by Julie Otsuka. It's a dementia story that made me cry, and is also a little bit strange. Since you've picked up a few sad Alzheimers stories, I think it would be up your alley.

It made me happy seeing Kenya on the thumbnail!

I love your long videos and I hope you know your hard work and effort in putting them together is appreciated

Love this annual video! And checking out all the booktubers and bookstagrammers now!

I’m so glad you enjoyed on earth we’re briefly gorgeous, it was my favorite book I read in 2022! I still think of it all the time.

I think the most intriguing part of the push is you don’t know if the child is like that bc (spoiler) they were born sociopathic or bc of the generational trauma and infant neglect causing attachment issues.

New follower so this is my first time watching this video type from you, and I love that you keep it honest even though they’re taken from someone’s favorites lists

I moved my kids bedtime up 30 minutes for this. That’s right. THAT. IS. RIGHT.

i was just wondering this morning when this video was coming, what a delight

i love your videos! The editing and time and love you put into your videos are astounding! Lots of love X

Definitely going to pick up Nothing to See Here after hearing you compare it to The House in the Cerulean Sea! Thanks for the recommendation!

Kayla, just know how much I appreciate the work you put into your videos and how long they are! I love listening to you and it is often very calming to me! :)

Omg yessss, I was looking forward to this video since January 1st 😂

Wow! So many great reads! I will definitely add a lot of these to my TBR.

An hour long video of book reviews and vlog whilst I do uni work, yes please!

The pan in to Thursday Murder Club 😂😂😂😂😂

And every morning is my all time favorite. It’s so beautiful

My excitement when you pulled out Thursday Murder club is unparalleled!! I know I've commented this before, but I have such a strong feeling you'll love (or at least really like) it

NOOOOOOOOOO 😭well at least now I can rest easy knowing that you tried

Loved the Backman book and how you prepped for it! I loved the Thursday Murder Club series. Sorry, you weren’t able to get into it. I did keep a list of characters.

The Honeys audiobook won an honor award today. I’m a wimp with scary things but I kind of want to try it out. Know my name is going on my TBR for sure.

Thank you so much for including me! Loved this lineup 💕💕💕

Your first update for Mary is how I'm feeling about How to Sell a Haunted House. There was a perfect opportunity to end the book, but then there's 100 more pages. 🙈

Your editing is top tier!! I’ve been looking forward to this video & it was so fun!!

These kinda videos are my favorite and I REALLY appreaciate how much work they are 💜

The length of this video is PERFECT

I really love the effort you put into these videos!!!🫶

Ahh so happy to finally hear your thoughts on Nothing to See Here! I saw an Instagram post you made a few weeks ago that included that book, then like a week later I randomly came across it in a thrift store and was like 👀 I recognize that cover. I said screw it and just bought it without even reading the synopsis. SO glad I did because I loved it!!! Your influence continues to be impeccable 🔥

Thursday Murder Club is very British sense of humour (I’m British). I have read all three books and enjoyed them but this book is mostly beloved by the older generation over here. My mum LOVES it. I prefer a bit more edge and darkness in my mystery books.

This is exactly what I needed right now, thank you!!!!

I look forward to these and the Goodreads Awards videos all year.

MY FAVORITE VIDEO OF THE YEAR. period. I got out a notebook to watch this. Thank you Kayla. ❤🎉

came here after seeing astoldbykenya's story and wow, you're so cool. the effort! the production! i love this

I love how many people mention you in their videos 😂

Legitimately been waiting for this all month 😭

Just the level of detail and tlc you put in this video is amazing and it makes it one of my favorite things to watch, Also my favorite book of the year is light from uncommon stars by ryka aoki. A very weird sci fi that gives “the Devil went down to Georgia” vibes and there’s aliens and transgender representation

the time has come! will be enjoying this as a "before going to sleep" treat
