@@K2iPerse I'm 27 and I started to read all of RR's books starting 2 years ago. I'm on the last two Trials of Apollo books now (my boyfriend told me to read them since he grew up reading them). I plan on reading it to my children when I have them someday.
Oh my gosh AKSHDJAKA I always get so EXCITED and so nervous whenever you read some of my fave books!!! I’m so glad you ended up loving The Midnight Library and The Death of Vivek Oji 😍😭 those books are so incredible and it was so fun to see you read them and react to my video 🥺💕 Also omg that’s so funny about The Song of Achilles, I feel the EXACT same way, like word for word what you said about it was spot on!!!
Me: sees everyone reading the house of the cerulean sea and the midnight library Kayla: reads the house of the cerulean sea and the midnight library Me: OKAY I’LL READ THEM
I read the midnight library after seeing all the bookstagram hype and honestly I didn’t love it. I feel like it was just lacking depth. But with that being said I feel like my reading preferences don’t really match up a ton with kayla’s overall.
The House in the Cerulean Sea is FINALLY coming out in the UK a week on Monday and I can’t bloody wait! I don’t usually read fantasy but I think 2021 is going to be the year I dip my toe in with this and The Cemetery Boys. The Uwagba sounds incredible, ordered it. The Death of Vivek Oji was one of my absolute books of the year. Broke me. Their novel Pet is also AMAZING. Ooh and The Song of Achilles broke me too.
*LET'S GO HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEAAAAAAAAAAA BABY!!!!!! I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY FOR YOU! LOVE IT SM* the death of vivek oji shot me in the heart and left me broken and depleted 😭😭😭
This was the most amazing thing to wake up to Kayla!!! I can’t believe you actually read not one but TWO books because of my favorites of the year.. literally can’t stop smiling!!!🥺😊 I’m so happy you ended up liking Song of Achilles!!!
When you told me you were going to be reading one of my favorites, for some reason I didn’t think it would be Scythe 😂 but thank you for including me and the positive peer pressure to restart my channel lol 🤗
It, honestly, makes me so happy that you enjoyed reading The House in the Cerulean Sea. I don't know why I was so worried that you (or anyone) wouldn't like it or why it would affect my life in any way LOL
Woah, I just had the trippiest moment seeing me lil face peeking out of your thumbnail lol. (I accidentally wrote "me" instead of "my" and I'm just gonna roll with it.) Thanks for mentioning my video :D I'm really digging these long videos. Perfect for watching while I do my mind numbing computer work for the day.
AHHHH! Oh no you did NOT just casually include me in your favorites playlist?! Thanks so much for watching my videos. You have no idea how much I appreciate you. You're one of the reasons why I even had the confidence to started my BookTube channel!!
I loved the instant gratification I received when booktubers recommended House in the Cerulean Sea (“OMG PLEASE READ IT”) to when you showed it on screen (“PLEASE LOVE IT, YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE IT!”) To when you gave the updates. Ugh my serotonin is flowwwwwing! 😌😌😌😌😌😌
The House in the Cerulean Sea was such a favorite for me that the author is now an auto buy. It was definitely one of my favorites of the year and I am so glad that you liked it too!
Also, thank you for being such a booktube supporter! You always strive to promote other people's channels in any way you can and that in itself makes you A FORCE ! Much love
I love the creativity in what you do. It looks like a scientific approach to tbr books' choices. I do exactly like you making excel's infinite lists and then picking up the best by ranking or whatever method I choose to use. So this video makes me so happy. 🤓📖😍
i was so excited to hear what you think of the song of achilles because i think the reveals at the end would shock you since you know nothing about the illiad edit: i didnt cry reading the song of achilles either, though i rated it a 5 because it impacted me so much in other ways. i also agree that i wanted more reasoning for why they were together.
Can I just say, I love your editing in the video, the grin for the thumbnail, letting other people pitch the books in your car and acting like you were listening to them. 10/10 So amazing, funny, and cute.
The Odyssee is the continuation of the Iliad, in which Achilles - for obvious reasons - does not play a part. Hence why you may be confused with the story since Greek Mythology is so complicated. After all, Homer wrote it in the 8th century B.C. As someone who studied Ancient Greek and Latin in high school and translated both the Iliad and the Odysee, I freaking love this book! On the relationship between Patroclus and Achilles, in the original version, the relationship is (although debatable) platonic. It's more about family and honour than it is about love. What happens to Patroclus is what defines Achilles' fate. Therefore, Patroclus is more a plot device than he is a "hero" in the Iliad. That's probably why you needed more reasoning for their relationship.
i literally just finished reading We Ride Upon Sticks because i'm in the middle of filming a video like this but you beat me to posting it lol! officially sitting down with a cup of tea to watch this vid, i am: hyped!
You should check out Circe by Madeline Miller. I liked it so much more than Song of Achilles bc the characters feel so much more fleshed out. I think some books use retellings as a crutch for their characters, expecting readers to come in already attached to the characters. I think Circe improves upon this a lot
Thunderhead was my favorite of the trilogy. I enjoyed all three, but kind of wish The Toll had been two books so the story could’ve had a little time to breathe. 😁
I’m so glad you read Vivek Oji! Not enough people have read the book. I really liked how the author used some of the side characters (like the market people) to tell the story of Vivek. It was interesting to step outside of the main characters’ perspective and read a stranger’s interpretation of events that day in the market. I don’t think I read another book for like a week because my heart was broken. My mind was like: “You knew Vivek was going to die since page 1. Why are you so heartbroken?” My heart was like “BECAUSE I DIDN’T KNOW VIVEK THEN!!!” 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for introducing me to more books and book tubers. Love you and what you do for the community and my growing TBR! 💕💕💕😍🥰 And thank you for giving Song of Achilles a shot! It’s one of my faves. If you’re ever up for another classic retelling, Madeline Miller’s Circe is fantastic.
Your attention to detail and commitment is unbelievable. I would have just watched 5 videos and looked at 5 Instagram accounts and picked a book from each
When Meg said one of her favorite books was Heartstopper I was really hoping you would choose it 😭😭😭 I know you don't normally read graphic novels but pleeeease read it
I couldn't get into The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter. I had high hopes from that one :( Maybe I'll pick it up again another time. Interjections in audiobooks only work for me if there are multiple narrators, each voicing a different character. I enjoyed Daisy Jones & the Six because of this experience
I knew you would give five stars to The Death of Vivek Oji. The ending shattered me! I'm hoping to read their YA novel Pet in February. I've heard so many great things!
You have my most hated book of 2020 in this list, Foul is Fair. im still only 9 minutes into this video and can't wait to see what you think about it. So far our tastes are usually incredibly similar when it comes to problematic things.
I can't even begin to describe the rollercoaster of my emotions/reactions when you held up The Song of Achilles and during your reading of it. Glad you enjoyed it well enough! Huge thank you though for bringing up mlm written by women, I think its a meaningful discussion we need to start having as a community and I really appreciate you raising the point.
I had a professor in college who pronounced all his words normally but pronounced "pseduo-" as in "pseudoscience" by saying "suede-o" (like a suede jacket), and now thanks to Lala I'm like was he an alien!?
Finally someone that also didn’t cry while reading Song of Achilles. I felt soulless afterwards, but I just didn’t care at all for the characters and was unfazed by the end.
The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter sounds like it will be my thing and I didn't know it existed before this video. I'm so excited to read it now!!
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed House in the Cerulean Sea! I also think we must have similar tastes in dystopian books because I didn’t enjoy Scythe as much as I expected. Starting Hunger Games later this year, so we’ll see how it goes.
Me: I don't like watching movies, they're so long, I don't have the patience. Also me: look at this glorious and long video! 😍 PS: I think you would like Circe from Madeleine Miller better. 😉
Lala you are so inspirational to a lot of us. The amount of passion and work you put in your videos leave me speechless every time. I really love your content and I wish you and all your family the best!
I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on Song of Achilles. I actually approached it from the opposite end of the spectrum--I knew a LOT about Achilles' story going in, so nothing took me by surprise, so I didn't really enjoy it. I spent the whole reading experience thinking that it would be more appealing to people not as familiar with the tale. I hope that in the future you try Miller's other book, Circe, because I would love to hear what you have to say about that one. Great video, as always!
I was day dreaming about lala reading scythe, im so excited. I recommended this book to everyone i know and even my brother who doesnt read at all is already on the sequel yaaay. (And song of achilles???) I love it here 🥰
i never read scythe but i LOVE neal shusterman's unwind series. i recommend it to literally everyone. i havent read the books in years and i still think about them all the time
I SAW THE SONG OF ACHILLES AKA MY FAVOURITE BOOK OF ALL TIME AHSDUDH I will be back to watch this video but oh my gosh I'm so excited - plus, you've inspired an idea for me 👀i'm gonna remind myself to DM you once i've finished editing dsaidh
I love Scythe. The entire series was great, well-written and a unique premise. I read the entire trilogy with 2 of my kids. Adding The House in the Cerulean Sea to the top of my TBR.
When you started singing 🎶and then I got high🎶... GIRL YOU TOOK ME BACK TO HIGHSCHOOL. It’s impossible to not love House in the Cerulean Sea. It’s so wholesome and perfect and Chauncey is life.

I highly recommend a beautiful book (Habits,wisdom & mindset of highly successful people) available on Amazon and kindle
I really liked the addition of the other creators pitching their favourite books.
Lol your “listening” faces while people describe the books 😂
