These long videos are amazing when you need a break! The past few days have been hell and getting to curl up with my dogs and be sucked into whatever she’s passionate about (Enneagram book recommendations this time) is wonderful! Also, I want to look into this and plan my April TBR around it (March is...booked)!
I’m just gonna add, and I don’t know if this is because I’m a new(ish) mom so I pick up/pay attention to it, but I love watching your small interactions with Liam. Like, when you asked him if he’s stressed in the morning and the way you looked at him, really listening, was so pure. And I always notice it, every time, in every video, when you interact with him. It’s just wholesome!
Im not even a parent and I love the small interactions and I notice those little things (but probably because I really want kids and think about parenting a lot lol)
I am making an entire series on books for each enneagram type on my book channel soon! If I had to guess your #.... I would say 1... or an 8 maybe.. I know you say you are a slytherin which is why I'm guessing those...
@@Sleeping.Bookerella13 slytherines.... opinionated, driven, they know what they want... protective. It just fits those #s a lot. But it doesn’t mean you can’t be something else instead. :) it was just a tie I made to Kayla.
My problem with personally tests is they can only tell you how you perceive yourself. Like I've taken a personality quiz and then had my husband take it "for me" and gotten pretty different answers and who knows which one is "correct" or if neither one is. Because who knows if you can ever truly know yourself or if your judgement is clouded by negative and positive perceptions you have of yourself. Maybe a therapist could give you a super accurate personality result 🤔
"Why would you have an alarm set for when you don’t actually want to wake up" I have one set for 4 am because I cannot explain the amount of joy and relief I feel when I realize it’s 4 am and I have a few more hours of sleep 😍
omg I would die. I permanently banned physical clocks from my bedroom at age like 18 because waking up in the middle of the night and seeing the time (whether I have more time to sleep or not) gives me so much anxiety. I sleep so much better not allowing myself to so much as glance at my phone in the night! I love that we're all so different!!
Awake!me thinks I should get up at my first alarm, too. Asleep!me has learned to turn alarms off without waking up at all. Awake!me is in a constant battle to beat that bitch LOL.
This is some non-insomniac shit hahaha 😂 I have such a hard time falling and staying asleep that I get homicidal rage from people/things waking me up for no good reason.
Update: I am down an enneagram rabbit hole because I’m bad at being aware of my own personality traits...but this video has made me determined to figure out for sure which one I am
Yess! I wasn’t too interested in it until I had to take the test for work. It’s actually been helpful in several group work situations with my coworkers.
My favorite pastime is scrolling through your Instagram comments of people trying to guess your secret TBRs because the guesses are SO outlandish and usually wrong 😂
ahhh i'm so excited for this!!! i'm actually doing a reading vlog series on my channel right now where I read like each enneagram type to see which one I'm most like 😚
i'm a 4w3 and im guessing that type 4s are most likely to be obsessed with the enneagram cause we are constantly trying to figure ourselves out & we love reflecting about our personality traits
Lol I swear I’m a four. Like I AM A FOUR! And I keep taking different enneagram tests and I come up with either 2-1 or 5 or sometimes 7 and I’m like what?? I AM A FOUR! Lol Can we just pick our type if we know?
I’m also a 4w3 and this is literally me!! I love personality things cos I’m always trying to understand myself more, hasn’t heard of it before this vid and since watching this I’ve done the test, got my boyfriend to do the test, bought books about it and books recommended to type 4s😂
As an 8 and an Aries, these full length films that dig into my personality have been really fun, even though I’m apparently not supposed to be into any of it!
I am still mourning the fact that it wasn‘t reading books based on your most used emoji but this vlog 1000% made up for it. Also, the care you put into those transition pictures?! A true hero.
I'm a type 4 too! At first I was upset just because of the name implication but the more I read (I 100% am and a total Libra btw I think Libra and Aquarius are very similar to type 4 and they are my moon and sun!) about ennegrams I realised there's no such thing as a bad or good type 🥰
Oh my gosh! This is so amazing 😍 I just had the idea to make a vlog like this, I’m a type 6 and I was watching all the same videos you looked through the other day! But wow I love how much work you put into these videos, I appreciate all the little details!!! All the transitions with the songs that include lyrics with the word eight in it and everything!! 😍 Also I’m so glad you read Vicious and enjoyed it, I love that book so freaking much 🥺
This is so interesting to watch! I guessed 7w8 for you, so not far off. I’m basically the complete opposite as a 4w3 😂 I’m honestly shocked people typed you as a four! I didn’t get that at all from your content.
Love the vid, here for the long content. One beef I have with enneagrams, that every quiz just went "Do you have anxiety? You do! Type 6 for you". I was always between type 5 and 6 (some were like type 6 12,5p and type 5 was 12p). The moment you answer yes to a question about anxiety, it pumps you to type 6. Like my anxiety is my mental problem, not my personality. So many of the question are so simple and pointed to one direction that choosing a "correct" answer for the type you want is really easy.
It makes me so happy that you loved Biased because I teach a class on biases and stereotypes and I love it when my students' minds are blown. And yes EVERYONE needs to learn this stuff!
I LOVE the enneagram and I couldn’t have clicked a notification faster. I’m a 4w5 so when you said you are jealous of the 4 and 5 graphics I laughed! Def agree that it’s useful for communication. My dream dissertation is about the enneagram types and how it correlates through student/teacher relationships and learning styles in the classroom :)
When I first learned about the enneagram, I was told it is common for women 8s to be mistyped as 3s because there are a lot of similarities but people usually think 8 traits are “masculine.”
I loooove the enneagram! Primarily I think it is a wonderful growth tool. It's not always fun because it can make you aware of some not-so-nice things about yourself, but it can be insanely helpful if you use it to grow or to better understand your loved ones. Also a tip for those who are interested: the tests are great for narrowing it down to a few types, but to accurately find your type it's a good idea to read about the top three or so types that you test as, and then see what really feels right to you. Sometimes the tests can have a little bias or variation depending on where you take it.
Loved this so much. So glad you made this. You’re definitely an 8. I am a Counterphobic 6. So I got the same percentages of 8 and 6 that you did but after some digging, I am a 6. It is so interesting how it works
I haven’t taken the Enneagram but I learned two things from this video so far from watching the first few minutes: 1) I’m not a Type 8 and 2) I like reading about Type 8s as a lot of the recommendations were ones I’ve read and liked
That’s so exciting to hear you got a copy of A Mercy!!! Toni Morrison is my favorite author and that’s my favorite book of hers so I basically think it’s the best book ever written
I need to reread Their Eyes were Watching God. I read it in high school (with the best english teacher ever) and I liked it but I feel like I didn't fully appreciate it back then.
ngl, i don't think most pop culture creators know much about ennegram legitimately, at least not deeply. it's all pop psych oriented and not with that much depth (i don't think they study the source material that much and are just shilling something else lmaoo)-i'm still going to check out the websites, though! that said, having been eyeball deep in the system for years, you being type 8 doesn't really surprise me. they're incredibly misunderstood and stigmatized as being too argumentative and aggressive and angry etc., so i'm sure some people might think you're too ~soft~ to be an 8 or whatever (they'd be wrong lmao), but i digress. not surprising! type 8 gang represent
Something very interesting is that I have different results in different languages. When I take the test in English, I am a type 4. When I take it in Spanish I'm a type 6.
Type 9w1 here (was 9 tied with 4 and 5 but I did some research and figured it out) and I love Their Eyes Were Watching God so I’m happy you loved it, too! 🥰 I read it in college and it’s one of the few college books I actually kept post-grad
girl I'm an 8 and I just found out what enneagrams are and omg I am the definition of an 8 and I love that you are too because you are my all time favorite youtuber/booktuber cause of your overall energy which is always on point
I'm a 4 that often gets mistyped as an 8 and it's really interesting! They're very similar on the outside, and take similar paths a lot...but the motivations we have to get there are SO different.
After watching this video I took 5 different enneagram tests and got 4 different results. On top of that I disliked every recommendation I found for my type(s). I had the exact same problem with the starsign recommendations though so I guess I don't like reading about my type of character. And now I wonder if that's typical for my sign/type, ugh. Kudos to you for putting so much effort into this and sticking to it.
I read "Their Eyes Were Watching God" for a class a couple months ago. I loved it and it's one of the best books I have read for school. It made top five of good school books.
I’m a cancer, INFJ, 6. We don’t have a lot of book tastes in common but I just love watching your content anyway. I love talking about Meyers Briggs... I really connect with content that talks about INFJs. I also love knowing about how other people view themselves and how they process emotions. I think that’s a big part of why I love first person narratives in books and want all of the character development.
I have done Myers Briggs (INTP) and Enneagram testing (5), but I am not certain that I fit into a box fully. I always felt like I was limiting myself if I thought I could only have traits that matched a personality type. But I do really like what you said about relating to other people by knowing their type. It would be interesting to typecast fictional characters of some of my favorite books.
Thank you! I DNF’d Where the Crawdads Sing around 50% because it dragged and I knew where the story was going. I enjoyed the topics covered, but at that time I needed to move on. I got so much hassle by one of my coworkers for DNFing it but thank you for the validation.
i loved this lala! millenneagram was such a great pick for an enneagram intro. i love that it’s really removed from the religious elements that tend to be prevalent in enneagram content. also, a book that i’ve recommended for 8s is Skyward by Brandon Sanderson - the MC has major 8 vibes, and the story is such a fun ride! 💞
I JUST watched your enneagram video and I was so fascinated by your book pick it made me want to do this video all over again!! I have been recommended Skyward for SO long but apparently refuse to pick it up 🤭
@@BooksandLala i’d be super interested to know your thoughts! also sidenote, i seriously love how you did this video and like lived the full 8 life. i find those enneagram ig accounts fascinating, so it was so fun watching you react to them 💞💞 the months of work you put into these videos is amazing!
Wow! This is great timing! I just took the enneagram quiz two nights ago with my sister. Found out I'm a 7w8 and my sister is a 1w9 (she's the same age as you lala), yet my mbti is ENFP and hers is ISFJ.
I originally guessed a 4! But an 8 also makes sense, especially for being a content creator/working in marketing (?), that type is making more and more sense. Love the long vlogs as always!
the commentary of type 4s at the end called me OUT. can't relate to kayla saying she doesn't want to be unique and misunderstood 🤧 also being a 4w3 myself i would never type you as that!! we are far too chaotic 🤪
“I wasn’t planning on reading this book next, but it’s the only book that fits in my purse so...”. RELATABLE One minute later... “So, I only read 3 pages...”. AGAIN... RELATABLE
Interesting video, interesting way too pick a tbr.......I just kind of go with my gut. My March tbr are The Witches Heart, Truth Witch, The Book Thief, Howls Moving Castle, Charlottes Web,the third book in the Wrinkle in Time series and Keeper of the Lost Cities Exile.
im actually so relieved you gave where the crawdads sing a 2 star rating, sometimes i feel like im the only person who didnt like it omg. i gave it a 1 star and it actually confuses me how highly rated it is in general. i thought it did a lot of weird, convoluted, and potentially harmful stuff with race, class, and sexuality. glad you mentioned delia owens's use of the n-word, that did not sit right with me either
Honestly Kaylas channel should have a monthly membership fee this feature film and all the other loooong intensive, thoughtful content she has given us for free is impeccable. 🤩🙌🏻
Although I have only read two-ish books from this author so far, I think you would really like Octavia E. Butler. The two I would recommend so far are Kindred because it has a time-travel element and because it's a hard-hitting book. The second book would be Dawn (also by Octavia Butler) because it's set in space but not really space (which I know you like) and it's another Sci-Fi book. Once I read some more of Octavia Butler's works for my class I will possibly add some more recs but that's all I have so far. Also, love the video and it made me take the enneagram test for myself!
I'm participating in a yearlong Toni Morrison readathon, currently reading Sula and I started Beloved but pausing cause it's not discussed til May. I completely agree that being to discuss them with others is super helpful and enlightening.
Loved that video because we got to know your personality better:) And i was immediatly thinking of a similar idea: Your Chinese Horoscope chooses your TBR;)
These long projects are so brilliant and entertaining. Can't wait for the next one. I'm the same type as Robbie, 9 The Peacemaker. Cinnamon roll heroes and heroines fit our type.
I took a 12 week class on the enneagram with my mother in law. We have always had a back and forth relationship. Once we got to learn about each other's number, we understood each other so much better and our relationship has been top notch since. Everyone should learn the enneagram! Btw, I'm a 5. And I finally understood my personality
Yes! I love these experiments so much! Update: I just took the test and I’m also a Type 8 (The Challenger) with Type 5 (The Investigator) as my second at 95%, so twinsies, haha! As much as these tests are of course over simplifications, they can still be enlightening and fun to do (as with all personality tests; I stayed up ‘till 4am the other night just doing “Which Batman’s Robin are you?” quizzes, haha) ALso: HOLY HELL, I HAVE A YOGA MAT LEANING ON MY DESK IN THAT EXACT WAY! 😂 ALSO: I’m not an Ares, I’m a Pisces, so I wonder how that lines up because I don’t know much about star signs.
We're the same type!! That's exciting! Don't mind me just taking notes on this whole video. Vicious is a favorite and I'm going to read it to my mom who is also the same type (different wings).
And the queen herself has blessed us with another full length film

I'm a 4 that often gets mistyped as an 8 and it's really interesting! They're very similar on the outside, and take similar paths a lot...but the motivations we have to get there are SO different.
I definitely didn’t click on this as soon as the notification came through 😳
i have at least 5 alarms, because i like the feeling of knowing i have more time to sleep and appreciate it
After watching this video I took 5 different enneagram tests and got 4 different results. On top of that I disliked every recommendation I found for my type(s). I had the exact same problem with the starsign recommendations though so I guess I don't like reading about my type of character. And now I wonder if that's typical for my sign/type, ugh. Kudos to you for putting so much effort into this and sticking to it.
I read "Their Eyes Were Watching God" for a class a couple months ago. I loved it and it's one of the best books I have read for school. It made top five of good school books.
I’m a cancer, INFJ, 6. We don’t have a lot of book tastes in common but I just love watching your content anyway. I love talking about Meyers Briggs... I really connect with content that talks about INFJs. I also love knowing about how other people view themselves and how they process emotions. I think that’s a big part of why I love first person narratives in books and want all of the character development.
I have done Myers Briggs (INTP) and Enneagram testing (5), but I am not certain that I fit into a box fully. I always felt like I was limiting myself if I thought I could only have traits that matched a personality type. But I do really like what you said about relating to other people by knowing their type. It would be interesting to typecast fictional characters of some of my favorite books.
Thank you! I DNF’d Where the Crawdads Sing around 50% because it dragged and I knew where the story was going. I enjoyed the topics covered, but at that time I needed to move on. I got so much hassle by one of my coworkers for DNFing it but thank you for the validation.
Yessss! Love this video idea.
Kayla's videos are always a great way to wrap up the weekend.
im having such a bad day and this is exactly what i need to make me feel better. we dont deserve you kayla
You have the most intriguing ideas with TBRs. I’m that person that mood reads and can’t do set TBRs at all! 💛
i loved this lala! millenneagram was such a great pick for an enneagram intro. i love that it’s really removed from the religious elements that tend to be prevalent in enneagram content. also, a book that i’ve recommended for 8s is Skyward by Brandon Sanderson - the MC has major 8 vibes, and the story is such a fun ride! 💞
I JUST watched your enneagram video and I was so fascinated by your book pick it made me want to do this video all over again!! I have been recommended Skyward for SO long but apparently refuse to pick it up 🤭
@@BooksandLala i’d be super interested to know your thoughts! also sidenote, i seriously love how you did this video and like lived the full 8 life. i find those enneagram ig accounts fascinating, so it was so fun watching you react to them 💞💞 the months of work you put into these videos is amazing!
Not you picking 3 of my favourite books for my enneagram type!!! I'm amazedddd
Rushed home once I got the notification to watch this. An hour and 23 minutes??!!!?!? We've been blessed.
Wow! This is great timing! I just took the enneagram quiz two nights ago with my sister. Found out I'm a 7w8 and my sister is a 1w9 (she's the same age as you lala), yet my mbti is ENFP and hers is ISFJ.
Oh wow your brain knew about this video
I originally guessed a 4! But an 8 also makes sense, especially for being a content creator/working in marketing (?), that type is making more and more sense. Love the long vlogs as always!
you being my most watched booktuber really makes sense with me being a 4 if according to your stats 4 and 8 have the most compatible reading tastes!!
the commentary of type 4s at the end called me OUT. can't relate to kayla saying she doesn't want to be unique and misunderstood 🤧 also being a 4w3 myself i would never type you as that!! we are far too chaotic 🤪
sidenote, i've only read 2/4 of the books from the blog post but both were big 5 stars 😳
the teeth brushing meditation was HILARIOUS 💀💀 so well done with this vid Kayla!
I just love the idea that the next time someone makes a "reading like my enneagram type" video, they might find your blog now for recs
I’ve been hoping for a giant video and I got it. Thanks for granting wishes!!
Yeah me too!!!
“I wasn’t planning on reading this book next, but it’s the only book that fits in my purse so...”. RELATABLE
One minute later... “So, I only read 3 pages...”. AGAIN... RELATABLE
Interesting video, interesting way too pick a tbr.......I just kind of go with my gut. My March tbr are The Witches Heart, Truth Witch, The Book Thief, Howls Moving Castle, Charlottes Web,the third book in the Wrinkle in Time series and Keeper of the Lost Cities Exile.
Lala I was thinking about you cause I missed your videos!! Thank you for the feature length video omgggg
im actually so relieved you gave where the crawdads sing a 2 star rating, sometimes i feel like im the only person who didnt like it omg. i gave it a 1 star and it actually confuses me how highly rated it is in general. i thought it did a lot of weird, convoluted, and potentially harmful stuff with race, class, and sexuality. glad you mentioned delia owens's use of the n-word, that did not sit right with me either
as a type 5 and a stats major I loved the detailed research and calculations that went into your recommendations post
Honestly Kaylas channel should have a monthly membership fee this feature film and all the other loooong intensive, thoughtful content she has given us for free is impeccable.
🤩🙌🏻
i was just wondering what to do... you made my decision SO much easier!! love ur videos
Although I have only read two-ish books from this author so far, I think you would really like Octavia E. Butler. The two I would recommend so far are Kindred because it has a time-travel element and because it's a hard-hitting book. The second book would be Dawn (also by Octavia Butler) because it's set in space but not really space (which I know you like) and it's another Sci-Fi book.
Once I read some more of Octavia Butler's works for my class I will possibly add some more recs but that's all I have so far.
Also, love the video and it made me take the enneagram test for myself!
I'm participating in a yearlong Toni Morrison readathon, currently reading Sula and I started Beloved but pausing cause it's not discussed til May. I completely agree that being to discuss them with others is super helpful and enlightening.
I died laughing at the sweater!! LOL
Loved that video because we got to know your personality better:) And i was immediatly thinking of a similar idea: Your Chinese Horoscope chooses your TBR;)
Hey, fellow type 8! The amount of times I've been recommended Brene Brown in my life... This explains everything 🤣
These long projects are so brilliant and entertaining. Can't wait for the next one. I'm the same type as Robbie, 9 The Peacemaker. Cinnamon roll heroes and heroines fit our type.
I took a 12 week class on the enneagram with my mother in law. We have always had a back and forth relationship. Once we got to learn about each other's number, we understood each other so much better and our relationship has been top notch since. Everyone should learn the enneagram! Btw, I'm a 5. And I finally understood my personality
Yes! I love these experiments so much!
Update: I just took the test and I’m also a Type 8 (The Challenger) with Type 5 (The Investigator) as my second at 95%, so twinsies, haha! As much as these tests are of course over simplifications, they can still be enlightening and fun to do (as with all personality tests; I stayed up ‘till 4am the other night just doing “Which Batman’s Robin are you?” quizzes, haha)
ALso: HOLY HELL, I HAVE A YOGA MAT LEANING ON MY DESK IN THAT EXACT WAY! 😂
ALSO: I’m not an Ares, I’m a Pisces, so I wonder how that lines up because I don’t know much about star signs.
We're the same type!! That's exciting! Don't mind me just taking notes on this whole video. Vicious is a favorite and I'm going to read it to my mom who is also the same type (different wings).
