Hi I'm Laura and here in the UK my tbr pile is currently 180 books! I have no shelf control either! I tend to read 5 or 6 a month and then on payday buy at least 12 more! 😂🫣😬 I have issues!!! 😂😂😂
I relate to the "I love barnes & noble" scream. everytime I walk in that store I'm filled with joy and I walk out with my bank balance significantly lower lol
I literally gasped and clutched my heart when I saw the book selection in your goodwill - it was completely involuntary 🤣. I go into every goodwill possible to book shop but I have never ever ever seen a selection as amazing as that
Hahaha "$30 but does that outweigh the $200 spent at the bookstore" This is also how I try to justify my book purchases!!! OMG those mushroom sprouts are adorable!!!!!!!!!
I have never seen a thrift store with a book section that big, incredible! If you live near a Half Price Books, those are great to check out. Good book selection and much easier in the wallet. Also, cute tote bags, journals, etc.
This was my first video of yours and it was so nice to watch while I cooked dinner for the fam! I mean who doesn’t love a good book haul, right? Instantly subscribed☺️
i recently went to a writer’s conference and the author of Yellowface, Rebecca Kuang, was there and spoke at a panel and it was so interesting getting to hear about how she wrote the book and other stuff!
so jealous of that stunning edition of if we were villains!!! such a beyond brilliant book, I hope you enjoy it! thank you for the safe & comforting space that is your videos ♥️
I read “On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous” and it’s such a wonderful book. It tells the story of Vietnamese man who struggles with his Vietnamese and “American” identity while discovering his queer identity, and what it means to live for huméales himself. It encapsulates a common theme throughout minority experiences in America and it’s a refreshing take that doesn’t feel white washed or sugarcoated.
Wait a minute. I literally see your comments every where and have commented on your comments myself because you so absolutely sweet and kind. I didn't know you had a channel! I can't tell you how genuinely happy I am to have found this out!
No way really?? This just made my day! Also the thrift store I went to wasn’t a huge name brand one like goodwill so maybe try a local thrift store? Lmk if you find any treasures!
@@khalilahd. I’m editing my UA-cam video right now and I’m quoting you when you said “if your coffee doesn’t give you diabetes are you really enjoying it?” Because like two weeks ago I walked out of an Erewhon and went to Starbucks because there wasn’t anything with enough sugar for me.
First time viewer, I always try to go to the thrift or used book store first before hitting B&N. That store you found had a really nice selection. Great video 👍📚
just subscribed! I just got into reading 2 years ago and your channel will help me staying in the mood for reading, love the vibes. And your channel helped me find new books to read!
I'm only 7 minutes into the video and I just love it. Also usually I go to the thrift store first, because I might end up finding alot for cheaper and then I go to the book store to purchase my must haves!! Also completely unrelated but you are so beautiful!!😍
khalilah you need to read what lies in the woods. it’s a very good thriller mystery if you want to get more into them. i don’t want to say much but the ending will surprise you so much
Wow! Thank you so much, Khalilah! I just came across your channel today. Really enjoyed your content. I read "The Great Gatsby" for the first time just last week. A short, beautifully written novella. I also have enjoyed "Life of Pi" and "We Were the Lucky Ones" I totally agree that "And Then There Were None" is the best way to dive into Agatha Christie! So good!! Happy reading!!
I added this video in my watch later list like 2 months ago and today I reminded myself about this video and when I heard you talking about being the mysterious girl and main character I knew I would like your content. Like I'm you and you're me
Wow great finds at the thrift store. I am going to barnes and noble tomorrow, so this is great for me! I only had like 2 books on my list, and now i have a lot more. Also The Great Gatsby is a great book! It is one of my absolute favorites. I hope when you read it you enjoy it as much as i did!
7:50 i had to rewind a few times because i thought that ‘no’ was really my imagination 😂 i have too many books and not enough space so i’m living vicariously through your book hauls. love the video as always ❤
Happy sunday khalilah hope you are feeling your best today and that your having a good day today with one great thing happening to you! You deserve it! Another awesome video
I used to practically live in Barnes & Noble, but most of the stores in my area closed. Luckily I got some great bargains on Amazon for downloading and the local thrift shop for hard copies.
LOVING that coffee/diabetes comment. Last night I was at a graduation party, and the host handed out gummies DRENCHED in chamoy, and as she did, she commented, “Pa’ el diabetis…” Literally translated, “For the diabetes…” It’s a common phrase in out diabetes-rich culture. Which cracks me up every time. Which I guess is kinda sad. But still. 🤭🤭🤭
Just came across this video, and it's so lovely to watch! So many amazing titles that you've picked up, you've inspired me to try a couple of these too!
So many books in that thrift sore! wish I lived nearby. My first thought was "you should have gone to the thrift store first" 😅also, I could literally live inside B&N but I feel like after 3 hours everyone is looking at me 🙃 definitely keeping up with your vlogs, thank you for sharing!
Your enthusiam for reading is infectious! You made some great choices. MY fav AChristie book (and I have read them ALL) is And Then There Were None (if you can find the ORIGINAL b&w movie, watch it. They just don't makes movies like this anymore). Also, you picked 2 great classics The Great Gatsby and Picture of Dorian Gray, one of my all time favs! Again, the classic version of Dorian Gray w/Peter Lawford is amazing. My other fav classic Wuthering Heights (and the classic b&w version of the movie with Sir Lawrence Olivier is not to be missed). Just turn off the lights and immerse yourself in the magic.
I love that you had your bag on for the thrift haul lol, I would've done the exact same thing! I hope you like If We Were Villains, I really enjoyed it especially with the audio.
I read the book of Agatha Christie and it's really good. You will be surprised about the ending. Do you have space in your bookshelf for your new babies?? It's so beautiful to see you being confident in filming in public
Rebecca on audio was 🤌🏽🤌🏽 On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is genuinely one of the most beautifully written books I’ve read but it does take some brain cells to read since Ocean is a poet and this is their first novel
And Then There Were None is such a clever book from Christie! Rebecca is amazing! Life of Pi is amazing (read the book, need to see the film!) The Picture of Dorian Gray is fabulous! The Great Gatsby is great! The Poppy War is on my tbr! If We Were Villains is dark academia and it's really good if you like Shakespeare! Great picks! And as always I love your energy! ❤🤗 xxx
Omg I read On earth we are briefly gorgeous last week changed my life most beautiful written book I’ve ever read so descriptive and different in an amazing way made me cry too.
Just found your channel! The bookstore assistant was right about And Then There Were None. That's my favorite Christie book! Love the new movie too. My teacher used to be obsessed with Life of Pi. We got annoyed by it. LOL And dang, I need to thrift some books! :)
Hi my name is khalilah and I have no self control 🙂 also like and subscribe love u k byeeeee 🫶🏽

Hello, could you make a video introducing yourself in how to properly say your name? Beautiful name by the way.
Thanks for good video
That is quite an impressive section of books at the thrift store! Thrift stores near me look NOTHING like this! lol How cool!!
I came to the comments to say the same things! Just wow.
A trip to the bookstore on a rainy day sounds delightful 🕯️🫶🏻
I loved it 💕
And Then There Were None was my first Agatha Christie and it was fantastic. Immediately understood why she's so loved!
Really?? I can’t wait to read it 💕
It was my first too! Same feelings here
I relate to the "I love barnes & noble" scream. everytime I walk in that store I'm filled with joy and I walk out with my bank balance significantly lower lol
Finally, someone who gets it 😅🩷
Your vibe is perfect for a chill Sunday afternoon. I’m having a homemade brunch and just watching. Thanks for providing quality content 💜
Omg thanks Sherrie I love a good brunch, enjoy 💕☺️
I literally gasped and clutched my heart when I saw the book selection in your goodwill - it was completely involuntary 🤣. I go into every goodwill possible to book shop but I have never ever ever seen a selection as amazing as that
Omg right?? I couldn’t believe it! I’m definitely going back 💕
i swear, joining the book community is the best decision i have ever made. i love all of the positive energy ❤
Hahaha "$30 but does that outweigh the $200 spent at the bookstore" This is also how I try to justify my book purchases!!!
OMG those mushroom sprouts are adorable!!!!!!!!!
Haha glad I’m not the only one 😅💕
I have never seen a thrift store with a book section that big, incredible! If you live near a Half Price Books, those are great to check out. Good book selection and much easier in the wallet. Also, cute tote bags, journals, etc.
Oooo thanks Anna! I have to check to see if I have one near by 💕
I am in the " don't buy new books " phase recently 😂😂😂.... and watching you buy new books makes me feel excited !!!
Love your videos ❤❤❤❤
This was definitely my reminder to not sleep on thrift store books! Also that bookshelf is looking good
Omg right?? I definitely plan on going more now 😅
This was my first video of yours and it was so nice to watch while I cooked dinner for the fam! I mean who doesn’t love a good book haul, right? Instantly subscribed☺️

What a great haul! Rebecca, the poppy war, and yellowface are all so amazing!
Can’t wait to read them!
the great gatsby is such a good book and it’s a really quick read 10/10 you’re going to love it
i recently went to a writer’s conference and the author of Yellowface, Rebecca Kuang, was there and spoke at a panel and it was so interesting getting to hear about how she wrote the book and other stuff!
Wow that sounds amazing! I’m happy you got to experience that first hand 🩷
I loooove rainy days at B&N

20:50 I literally went to Barnes and Noble to buy these and omg what a great purchase. They are super cute!!! I really like the leaves bookmarks too!
Omg right??!

Thank you thank you!! I can’t wait to read them all 💕

You definitely found a great selection. I love to see the joy on your face as you hauled your books. So awesome.
Thank you so much! I had such a great time 😊
This video single handedly pulled me out of my reading slump. I wish I could find a Goodwill with a reading section like that.
No way really?? This just made my day! Also the thrift store I went to wasn’t a huge name brand one like goodwill so maybe try a local thrift store? Lmk if you find any treasures!
