i still can’t believe you’re doing my idea! i love that you’re as down for the chaos as we are 🫡 i can’t wait to see how this plays out ❤ and you pronounced my name correctly hehe
My pick is A LOVE SONG FOR RICKI WILDE. This was such a delight to watch! Everyone say “thank you, Kayla!” for always keeping us on our toes and for how fun and creative your content is! So I decided to return the favor with my romance pick since she said it’d have been her pick if she had gotten the “favorite cover” prompt! Cannot wait for the vlog!
I vote for A Love Song for Ricki Wilde by Tia Williams. Yes, Libby holds definitely count! Lmao I love Rob's thought process narrowing down the YA category lol
LOVE this video idea, very fun to see you get to read some things you're excited about but also have to stretch outside your comfort zone. happy goodreads awards season to all!!
Your reaction to the Romantasy category from last year lives in my head rent free any time I think about the genre or hear someone mention it. Fingers crossed you read The Bog Wife for horror 🤞🤞🤞
Cinnamon Bun Book Store gets my vote. I enjoyed it and it's relatively short and quick to get through, so if you're not enjoying it, it'll be over quick. I preferred it to the first book (and it reads as a standalone so you don't need to remember book 1 in detail) so it will be interesting to hear your thoughts as you also liked book 1. Thank you for the video and option to participate!
As a romance reader, it is my pleasure to pick the romance you're gonna read 😈😈 and my vote is for The Love of My Afterlife. It's fun and heartfelt. I think even if you don't love it, it'll still be a pleasant read!! 🫶🏼 Also it reminds me of The Seven Year Slip, which I know you loved!
Libby should count imo. Fyi, the Tommy Orange book is a prequel/sequel to There There if you haven't read it. You *can* read it as a standalone, but the book is better if you don't
Can’t wait for this vlog, I just know it’s gonna be like a feature length film and that’s my favourite Kayla content. Cinnamon bun bookstore is my vote 🩵
she said in the members live that she agrees that it looked like it matches on camera but in person her dress is much more green than blue! hence her not considering it
Lol your mom choosing your fantasy novel is so chaotic. I'm half stressed and half amused at the idea!! My vote for the romance book is The Cinnamon Bun Book Store, because I haven't started that series and I want to know if it's worth starting and/or continuing when I do haha.
First: I love this idea for your Goodreads Choice Award vlog and hope you do it again in the future Second: Swift and Saddled bc I need your thoughts on cowboy romance Third: Libby holds absolutely count!! Happy reading 💞
Absolutely love this video!! I love how you change it up every year and have the most original ideas! I've been reading The Pumpkin Spice Café so I'd love to see you read The Cinnamon Bun Bookstore for the romance pick ☺️
I love this so much. I really hope The Seventh Veil of Salome or The Frozen River will win Historical - both are fantastic and would probably be more winning for you.
First vote: Love of my Afterlife (one I was excited to find the library had the ebook for recently!) Second vote: Love Song for Rikki Wild Third vote: Paradise Problem
For the romance, try This Summer Will Be Different. It's set on PEI and there are some really sweet things going on, plus it has some interesting non-romantic relationships going on in addition to the main pairing.
The boot is so cute!! And Libby holds definitely count! I pick Lies and weddings because I think it has footnotes and I’m curious about it! I cracked up when rob said he’s the dungeons and you’re the drama. I see it 😂
i still can’t believe you’re doing my idea! i love that you’re as down for the chaos as we are 🫡 i can’t wait to see how this plays out ❤ and you pronounced my name correctly hehe
Thanks so much for the idea bestie, you're an icon! 👑
Liam coming in strong with the iconic teen disinterest 😂
“I like dungeons, you like drama” is actually really cute and I feel like y’all should pose like the cover
I can't believe you're still trying to deny us the dragon vlog.
😂😂😂
🐉 🐉 🐉 🙏 🙏 🙏
DRAGONS DRAGONS DRAGONS!!!! We want the dragons!
Yes!!! 👏🏼
I might not care much for the choice awards. But I’m here for all the booktube content it’s giving us❤
not gonna lie - it's pretty much the only reason I care about the awards - the booktube content is stellar
Same!
Kayla you never stop having the best, most engaging ideas on BookTube! This is why you are the QUEEN!
the way I'm GIDDY excited to see what you're about to pick from each jar. this must be what doing a slot machine feels like fr
I love the analogy 😂😂
If anyone needed a single video to understand why Kayla is top tier, this is it 💕 Thank you for this content 🙌
ahhhhh this is SO nice!!
I'm going to go with A Love Song for Ricki Wilde. Also, Libby holds should definitely count!!
Agree, they should count! but I guess only if all of them are available on Libby, I know for my library that would not be the case
The Cinnamon Bun Book Store! And yes Libby counts ♥️
Yes, Libby should definitely count! It's also coming from the library!
Agreed!!
Agree!
I’m sorry but that first transition!?!? I had to rewind and watch again it was so smooth!!
your example at the beginning actually happening is insane
It gives me so much joy 😅
Because of the 🤠 jars we have to go with Swift and Saddled 🌵💕👢
Good point 😂😂
My pick is A LOVE SONG FOR RICKI WILDE.
This was such a delight to watch! Everyone say “thank you, Kayla!” for always keeping us on our toes and for how fun and creative your content is! So I decided to return the favor with my romance pick since she said it’d have been her pick if she had gotten the “favorite cover” prompt! Cannot wait for the vlog!
You could check out the UK/international covers for the audiobooks, just in case there’s a real winner hiding out there 🖼️
Ooooh great point! 👀

Dungeons & Drama is actually super cute! Excited to see it getting some attention.
Agreed! It was my vote in that category, so good and underrated
I voted for it! I really loved that book. It was super cute
“Did you have to use the word cull?” 😂
"The love of my afterlife" sounds interesting for the Romance section.
you know how to keep a girl engaged Kayla! props to the person who gave you the idea
also, i’m voting for a love song for ricki wilde
Libby holds definitely count! Might also help diversify the results a bit better! 🤗
I love how much fun you make with your reading & how original your videos/challenges always are!!
Swift and saddled - it sounds like it’ll be a fun experience regardless
that transition to the desk 😮💨
Swift & Saddled was my pick for best Romance. I loved it even more than the first book in the series!
A love song for Ricki Wilde!! One of my favorite reads of the year.
I vote for A Love Song for Ricki Wilde! :) and libby holds should totally count!
I genuinely look forward to Kayla Choice Awards content all year!
Cinnamon bun book store :) I want you to have as much fun as possible with this and not suffer 🤣
Same! Cinnamon Bun Bookstore for the same reason
It looks so cute!!
LOVE this video idea, very fun to see you get to read some things you're excited about but also have to stretch outside your comfort zone. happy goodreads awards season to all!!
Swift and saddled sounds like a camp time! 🥰
My vote is for the Paradise Problem. This video is so fun!
Your reaction to the Romantasy category from last year lives in my head rent free any time I think about the genre or hear someone mention it. Fingers crossed you read The Bog Wife for horror 🤞🤞🤞

Thank you for the video and option to participate!
Swift and saddled is so quick and fun!
Nice transition omg! 4:24
Rob’s feelings about the word cull😂😂
Also, as a historical fiction lover who just finished reading The Women, I hope you don’t have to read it🤪
It should be subscriber's veto 😅
Blood's audiobook was very good! It's narrated by the author and I learned so much
Dungeons and Drama is so cute!
Love of My After Life is my pick!
i was about to go to bed but i simply must watch this first
Of course Libby counts! You literally need a library card to sign up! (or at least you do in the UK)
Swift and Saddled for the cover alone
libby holds should totally count!! I'm so excited for the vlog you have no idea
I LOVE THIS IDEA.
Also with your love for romcoms, I actually think you would like The Paradise Problem.
This Summer Will Be Different! I think it could be a four star for you, I really loved it and it was my vote for the category
Just for the Summer got my vote. I loved it.
As a romance reader, it is my pleasure to pick the romance you're gonna read 😈😈 and my vote is for The Love of My Afterlife. It's fun and heartfelt. I think even if you don't love it, it'll still be a pleasant read!! 🫶🏼 Also it reminds me of The Seven Year Slip, which I know you loved!
Libby absolutely counts!!! How to End a Love Story was one of my favourite reads so far this year!!!!
I’m voting for The Love of My Afterlife! ❤
You are so fun. Thanks for being you.
Libby should count imo. Fyi, the Tommy Orange book is a prequel/sequel to There There if you haven't read it. You *can* read it as a standalone, but the book is better if you don't
Can’t wait for this vlog, I just know it’s gonna be like a feature length film and that’s my favourite Kayla content. Cinnamon bun bookstore is my vote 🩵
I feel like Voyage of the Damned matched your outfit so perfectly and had flowers too!!
she said in the members live that she agrees that it looked like it matches on camera but in person her dress is much more green than blue! hence her not considering it
Lol your mom choosing your fantasy novel is so chaotic. I'm half stressed and half amused at the idea!! My vote for the romance book is The Cinnamon Bun Book Store, because I haven't started that series and I want to know if it's worth starting and/or continuing when I do haha.
Libby definitely counts as coming from the library
My pick for you: The Love of My Afterlife. Haven't read it but heard good things
Swift and Saddled!
I enjoyed Love of My Afterlife! That’s my pick!
My vote is for The Love of my Afterlife because it’s been staring at me on my bookshelf!
Also, yes Libby holds count!
Love this video! My vote for romance is: Kevin Kwan Lies and Weddings. Hoped the wedding setting would work for you :)
The Cinnamon Bun Book Store is my vote since you had a good time with the Pumpkin Spice Cafe!
Going to pick The Love of My Afterlife, because I think you might have a fun time reading it
The love of my afterlife!
Romance pick: The love of my afterlife - Kirsty Greenwood
I'm voting for Love of my After Life because it's on my TBR right now too :D
My pick is the cinnamon book store!! Also the pure terror when you picked romance had me dying, so valid 😂😂
Swift and saddled is my pick just because I love the cover !
I just love your gamified videos
The Love of My Afterlife for the romance! I was hoping you got winner for fantasy because I’m pretty sure it might have dragons in it 😂
'Love of my Afterlife' sounds interesting!
So fun! I've been reading one from each category this year after watching your 2023 video, been posting my reviews on tiktok and it's been so fun!
I loveeeeed just for the summer😭 so that gets my vote! Xx
I’ll pick Love of My After Life since I was supposed to read that myself.

Paradise problem! I haven’t read it yet, but I’m excited to!! 😂
I love love love these prompts!!
Libby holds 100% count! I think you should read The Love of My Afterlife, mainly because my book club is reading it next year!
The Love of My Afterlife ❤
The Cinnamon Bun Book Store because a cozy romance seems like fun
That first transition was crazy!
I love this so much.
I really hope The Seventh Veil of Salome or The Frozen River will win Historical - both are fantastic and would probably be more winning for you.
out of the romances the paradise problem is the most rom-com-y so potentially one you'd enjoy most!
First vote: Love of my Afterlife (one I was excited to find the library had the ebook for recently!)
Second vote: Love Song for Rikki Wild
Third vote: Paradise Problem
For the romance, try This Summer Will Be Different. It's set on PEI and there are some really sweet things going on, plus it has some interesting non-romantic relationships going on in addition to the main pairing.
The Warm Hands of Ghosts is partially set in Nova Scotia if that sways your moms fantasy choice 😂
This was so fun to watch. I hope you like the YA book. I read it this year it was really cute.
Girl you're glowing in this video! You look amazing.
Also love the content. Thank you for keeping me motivated to continue reading :)
Love of my afterlife! ❤🎉
Not The Pairing! I was so disappointed.
I'll vote for the Cinnamon Bun book because you seemed the most interested in that one :)
The boot is so cute!! And Libby holds definitely count! I pick Lies and weddings because I think it has footnotes and I’m curious about it!
I cracked up when rob said he’s the dungeons and you’re the drama. I see it 😂
loved this video so much, can't wait for the follow up!
Love this idea! Keeping the goodreads video fresh :D
the uk cover (the orange one) for james is gorgeous!!!
I’ve been in the hospital for a while and I just saw this and it’s calming me down ❤ thank you Kayla
I loved this video!! Can't wait to see the next.
