i was literally terrified of quicksand as a child. have i ever encountered it? no! it's a sham.
I remember going into the forest as a kid with friends and us being like "wow what's that is that quicksand over there... dont go over there" lmao it definitely wasnt.
I have encountered quicksand! I’ve walked Morecambe Bay with a guide so was kept on the safe path but it definitely is dangerous because people have died from it there. The worst incident was in 2004 when 21 cockle pickers died.
"OMG THERE'S A HAND IN THE COVER"
I wonder how confused new subscribers are after that phrase 😂
No joke, I literally thought this as I was editing the video and considered inserting an "editing Lala" clip to explain 😅
LMAO NOT TO MENTION "oh, so one about rabbits.... interesting" 🤣
can u explain ? i'm new hehe
@@natsumipaisley some of her favourite covers nowadays are ones with hands or rabbits on the cover, so much so that she’s gathering rabbit books to do a whole 🐇 vlog in the future! :)
@@natsumipaisley she has this theory that every book with hands in the cover is going to be a favorite or a really great book for her
I thought I would encounter more situations where stop drop and roll would be critical information.
this 👆
Yes! I feel like I fully expected to be on fire at any moment as a child.
lol, my parents had a fire escape plan when I was a kid, but I was on the second story so my dad was always like "a broken leg is better than burning to death" but I was so terrified when I was little I would have to jump and was confused by I coudlnt just do stop drop, and roll like I had been taught. I for sure thought a fire would break out multiple times in the night
"Non-consensual space travel" is such an interesting description 😂
kayla: do you think crystals like... *hand gestures*
kayla’s mother: *sad face* no...
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. My dad had almost the same situation 17 years ago. He lived another 15 years. I’m going to tell you what I wish someone had told me: you can be both grateful that he’s still here but also grieve the loss of who he was and might never be again. I’m not sure if I’m explaining it well but I just wish someone would have told me that I would have such conflicting emotions
I am truly sorry to hear about your dad Kayla. I worked with stroke patients as a new nurse and know how devastating it can be to adjust. Went to your mom's shop and purchased a bookmark. I know it's not much, but just know you have a community of people here who support you in all aspects that you allow us. Best wishes!

Being irrationally afraid of quicksand when they were younger
"If I had a nickel for everytime Kayla rated a book 5 stars that is also a film adaptation with Thimotee Chalamet on the cast, I'd had two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice."
I just want to say how much I appreciate and am wowed by how well you plan out these videos. The fact that two years ago you came up with this idea and have footage saved from last year to use for a video you’re posting today, that’s just amazing. It’s also really wonderful that you keep so much footage.
I wish I had footage of moments with my mom to watch now that she’s gone. Pictures are wonderful but not the same.
So sorry for your loss. My Dad recently passed away. I have voicemails from him, but I wish I had more videos and clearer audio. But I also know nothing will ever compare to actually having him 😞💔
@@xJillie So sorry for your loss as well. My mom passed in 2019 at the age of 52. It’s something I’m better with mentally now but I still have my days where it’s rough.
I can never get my mom to rate books either. It's always "it was good" - completely regardless of whether she actually liked it or not 😅
Kayla loving Dune was not on my 2021 bingo board but I’m absolutely loving it! I really enjoyed the spit scene in the movie as well 😂. I feel like Duncan Idaho was perfectly cast. I kinda wanna go back and watch the 80s version
this was so cute! my mom would absolutely love it If I read her favorite book (Little Women)! If you like classic scifi might I recommend 2001 A Space Odyssey
Kayla, I am so very sorry about your father. I appreciate your honesty. I can’t lie and say I didn’t start crying. A lot of what you said in that clip was very close to my family and my life and I am sending you all the love I have. You’re amazing. ❤️
I got so excited when your mum mentioned Enid Blyton. I grew up reading those (I think they were my mum’s as well) and I still own them. Turns out those are the only ones you’re not reading, oh well! 😂
Your mom doing your hair is so sweet. I can't imagine my mom ever doing that for me but I hope to do that for a future daughter or my niece. :)
“I’m not going to keep reading if their dog is dead, it’s not right.” Never heard something so relatable 😂
I read Little House on the Prairie to my third grade class a few years back bc we were going to pioneer school but we analyzed it in a way where the families sentiments were wrong and we had a discussion on racism and the way natives were treated in that time period and today. We did similar discussions during black history month, latinx history month, aapi heritage month and 9/11. Personally, I think my class grew a lot through these discussions and were incredibly compassionate and had some deep convos around it.
Brutal parts of our history get swept under the rug in our curriculum all the time and I actually think books like Little House on the Prairie can be a good bridge between giving them content at their level and extending it to have a deeper meaning and correcting wrongs.
Literature is a window to history. As an English Lit major I’ve found that I learned a lot more about history and how people thought and behaved through my Lit classes than my history ones.
I love that your mom is still able to remember what she read as a child. I am 21 and can't remember that stuff.
Your face when she told you about the rabbit series 😂😂😂
I’m so sorry to hear about what’s going on with your dad. Thinking of him and your family and sending all the positive vibes 🤗
I guess the reason that the Little House on the Prairie books didn't quite come full circle and have the family realising they were wrong etc. is because they're autobiographical so I guess if her family didn't learn that lesson in real life then she didn't include it in the books - which is such a shame! I've never actually read them but my sister was named Laura because my mum loved the books and TV show (she also named me Kayla after the character on Days of our Lives HA!) and it's so funny to me because my sister is extremely passionate about anti-racism (as we all should be)!
Also there is a book before Little House on the Prairie and there are like 7 after if I remember correctly? I’m trying to remember from when I read them as a kid, but I feel like by the end of the series Laura is more outspoken. But the reality is her parents were racist and she documented the truth of her childhood which is sad
@@sarah-jk7px Little House on the Prairie is book 3. The first book is Little House in the Big Woods and then 2 is Farmer Boy, which is about Laura's husband as a child.
Yeah Laura herself learns and grows a lot which is probably why she ended up writing about her life. I actually really enjoyed the books as a kid, though I'm sure they don't hold up, and the show was my favorite (definitely tried to be less racist at least)
My dad actually died from a stroke when I was 10 and your dad sounds a lot like who mine was and things like this don't get easier with age but however you're feeling is valued and I am thinking of you and your family x
Kayla! It was so fun to see you read books that were important to your mom. Also, I'm sorry to hear about your dad's current struggles. Sending lots of love and light to you and your family! 💖💖💖
I totally feel the same way about the quicksand and skunk thing!
And okay the coincidence that your mom read you the Peter Rabbit series 😂
I hope that your dad has a quick recovery! ❤️
I read my mom’s Trixie Belden books when I was young! This made me so happy.
When I was about fourteen, my father pulled out a box from the basement that had all his old scifi paperbacks from when he was a teenager. Heinlein, Asimov, Herbert and others were all there. It was a great experience reading through them and talking about them with him, and I found some of my favourite books that way! I still have his old copy of The Chrysalids on my shelf even though it's in three pieces 😆
Your mom seems like a wonderful woman and I love your relationship. My heart goes out to you and your family as you transition with your dad's new situation.
I’m so sorry about your Dad. Keeping you and your family in mind and prayers 💗
I think your description of the difference between Nancy Drew and Trixie Beldon is spot on. I prefer Trixie but I read both as a child and I absolutely wanted to be a detective when I grew up. So sorry about your dad.
I'm so sorry to hear about your father. I wish him and your family all the best. 🥺❤
I remember as a child reading Little House, I thought repeatedly “wow people were stupid back in the day.” I still loved the series, but could tell you it was problematic at age 6.
Sending all my love to you, your dad, your mom, and your grandma.
Sending you lots of love. My dad suffered two strokes before his death in 2019, it's rough. I wish I could help you somehow. My only advice is to be there for him and to be patient with him.
I’m very sorry to hear about your dad, sending you all love ❤️
Your mom is so great 😂❤️ also this is one of my favorite series ❤️
“The one about rabbits? … interesting”
Ooo she immediately thought of Bunny.
Louise Erdrich wrote the Birchbark house series as a response to Little House on the Prairie. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that. I'm so sorry about your dad too - things like that can cause such an upheaval of routine and family patterns. But we are nothing if not resilient.
Sending good thoughts to you, your dad, and family. Glad you can come together as a family during all this 🧡
You and your mom are lovely, thanks for sharing her with us. So sorry to hear about your dad. Hang in there 💜
I’m so sorry about your dad 💛 sending lots of love, strength and positive thoughts towards you, your dad and your family !
I really loved this video. Your mom is a gem. My heart goes out to you, and your family. I am so sorry.
I don’t have a good relationship with my parents. My mother is abusive and my father was complacent in that abuse and while I know my mother did like things, she didn’t share those things. BUT, what I have tried to do is be more open in sharing my interests with my kids. I turned 37 this year and my oldest child is almost 18. So much of our life has been shaped by that openness. We have a pretty strong familial identity outside of our own, stark differences. And I see that with you and your mom, and even with you and Robbie and Liam. It’s so special. I’m so glad you used books as a vessel for showing what family can be. The books I have passed down and my kids would say are “Mom’s Faves” would be; Interview with the Vampire, The Lord of the Rings, and their films - always.
In less heavy news… I hope you do read the original Dune trilogy. I am definitely doing that. I don’t own a physical copy of Dune Messiah - and the copy I want is like $40, so in the mean time I think I’ll do the audio book, it’s only like 9 hours! I hope if you read it (and if I do) it’s just as good as Dune!
My prayers are with you and your family♥️ I hope your dad gets well soon. You’re an amazing person and your loved ones are beyond lucky to have you💛
Sorry to hear about your dad. Sending love and peace to you and your family! ❤️
Sending you all the love for you and your dad ❤️❤️
Sending you and your family sooooooooo much love. You are such a wonderful person and it is easy to see you got that kind heartedness from your parents and family. The world need more people like you
Sending you and your family prayers and best wishes. Your mom is so lovely. And the wish list is a great idea
Sending you and your family so much love Kayla. 💕
Sending your dad all the best wishes on his recovery ❤❤
your mom is so lovely 💖 also I’m so so sorry to hear about your dad Kayla, sending all the love and support to you and your family 💞
Thank you for sharing about your father. Hugs to you Kayla💜 Your mom is so gorgeous 🤩
Loved that sit down with your mama! Sending you lots of love and hope to contribute when you get that amazon list set up!
Oh Kayla, my heart goes out to you and your family. I’m so glad he’s doing well enough to come home. I can imagine how worried and stressed you’ve been the last 2 months. Having the time away from a traditional job environment so your available to be there is certainly a blessing in disguise. Sending healing vibes to your Dad.
This was such a sweet video idea.
Sending big hugs to all of your family
Oh Kayla, I’m so sorry to hear about your dad! Sending all the love for y’all, but I know he’s in good caring hands with you and your mum
I have been pondering Dune for so long and you have sold it for me most definitely 👍 Kayla you were one of the first booktubers I ever watched and subscribed to, you really are an amazing person and I simply just can’t wait to see your new videos pop up! Sending all the love and prayers to your dad and family 💕 x
Definitely was not expecting you to give Dune 5 stars! Now I’m more curious to check it out. And I’m really sorry about your dad and that he has a speedy recovery!
Kayla, you never disappoint. Seriously, such a simple video and yet the vibes, the conversations you had, like makes me glad that I found your channel. ❤️
MY FACE when you said you're loving Dune!! So surprised but also happy.
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad.
My dad’s favorite book is, ironically, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance 🤣 He has been trying to get me to read it for, at the very least, a decade (According to you, exactly the kind of book a middle age man would recommend his teenage daughter read)! He also loves Pierce Anthony, which is an author your mom mentioned 😊
noooo not Zen ☠️
my dad also liked that book. i think it's a classic dad book
hahaha it's THE dad book, my dad loves Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance so much that he is getting a TATTOO of the logo from the cover (yknow, the wrench and the leaves) 💀 (and he had me designing the tattoo soooo)
@@baticeer_ i guess my dad is an exception. Both my parents reads thrillers/crime detective novels. 🙃
Watching you and your mom chat was so heartwarming. Sending best wishes to your father and family.
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad and what you and your family are currently going through and learning to adapt to. I hope it gets easier💕 I’m sending you and your family all the love💕
It's so cute seeing you and your bookish momma! ❤
I’m so sorry about your dad, Kayla. Thank you for sharing. I’m glad you are close to them and your job situation is allowing you to help where you can. Sending lots of love to your family🖤
That was the best parenting advice! I really needed to hear it! Thank you!
Sending you and your family much love, Kayla. You and your family are very fortunate to have one another, especially during these changes y’all are going through. Hang in there 💗 also, thank you for another great vlog!
Kayla, thinking about your family 💛 thank you for sharing your life with us.
I loved this vlog so much Kayla! I laughed and related so hard when you said you thought quicksand would be a bigger issue bc SAME
but I won’t lie - I started crying when you were taking about your dad. You’re amazing and I know you and your family can get through this. Sending you love and well wishes ❤️
So sorry to hear about your Dad's situation. Thank you for being so open with us. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. ❤
🫂
sending lots of love for your family!! I know how hard that is... glad BooksandDad is home now!!!
Well wishes to you and your family as you all go on this health journey with your dad. In a similar vein, I enjoy your mom and this content. You all have the same laugh. How precious!
Okay, I'm only two minutes into the video, but I had visceral happy memories arise watching your mom putting the fabric strips in your hair for curling. My grandmother used to do that for me when I was a kid, and it brought such a sense memory. Somehow doing it myself is just not the same.
I knew this before but after this video I can say you're one of my favorite youtubers ever 💕 this is one of your best videos ever, so genuine and so you
Sending all the love and strength to you and your family ❤️
I read Little House on the Prairie all of my childhood (I'm currently 14). I will always have a deep love for this series, and for the comfort it brings me. I am a Christian, as is my family, and I can honestly say reading those books as a child helped me love others more compared to feeling the need to be rude to other groups of people. Those books brought me so much peace as a child, and the dream of living in the middle of no where on a homestead still lives strong. I understand people's issues with it - and I think while those things are not okay and discriminating, people writing that sort of thing back then thought it was normal (which is really sad). Those books are an autobiography, and like another comment said, they probably didn't come full circle because not everything in life does in a perfect way that will please everyone. But as a young impressionable child, I had already understood the need to love everyone despite disagreeing with them, and reading about the way people back then treated other races and or groups of people didn't negatively affect my mindset on racism and inclusivity. Just wanted to share my own experience with those books.
i now want to ask my mom about her reading as a kid! this was a great video as usual so thank u for the entertainment. also i am sorry to hear about your dad. I am sending good vibes your way and hope that you guys can make it through this transition in life with as much as ease as possible
Words will do no justice, but I am very sorry for what you and your family are going through. All the love is being sent your way ❤️
Your videos are always so creative and well thought out. I’m sorry to hear about your father’s condition. Take care and prayers.
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, sending you and family so much love. You and your mam are a pillar of strength, he's very lucky to have people like you. I loved this vlog like always, and I'm so intrigued that you loved Dune so much. It's definitely one I want to read. I got it for my partner recently so a great time to steal it and read it myself haha.
your mom seems so lovely ❤️ ADORED the video!
I'm so sorry about your Dad. My mom had one earlier this year, so i know how absolutely life changing they can be. Wishing yall the absolute best
I will be thinking of your dad and praying for him! So sorry to hear.
Kayla, thank you for allowing yourself to be open and vulnerable with us. I know that couldn't have been easy. I love the moments with mom, yall seem to have such a great relationship!
Sending all the love to you and your family, hope everything turns out okay♡♡
I’m so sorry about your dad. I can definitely relate as my dad also had a stroke that has significantly changed his life (and my mom’s) in April 2020. Thinking of you!
I’m sorry about your dad. Hoping you and your mom stay strong as you find your way forward.
Such a great vlog! I'm sending love and hugs to you and your family 💖.
Sending you and your family good vibes Kayla. Stokes are so tricky because you never know when they can happen and sometimes the signs aren't universal for all strokes but it's good to hear that your dad is home surrounded by family. I've gone through the same thing and that time seems like the toughest so just take it day by day. 💜💜💜
I'm sorry about your Dad Kayla! well wishes to your family ♥️
Loved this video would love to see more favourite reads from your family and friends 💜
This is my favorite video you’ve ever put up! I even will forgive mixing up Minnesota with Wisconsin ❤️
Your dad and your family are in my thoughts
I am so sorry for what you, your father and your family are going through - my own father passed from a stroke when I was sixteen and I can only imagine what it feels like to see the aftereffects in this way that you all are. You are all my thoughts and in my heart
52:07 this outfit omggg 🥰
also sorry to hear about ur dad, wishing y’all the best
A great channel for Dune (and much more) related content that I HAVE to recommend is here -> czcams.com/users/QuinnsIdeas
Also sending your family so much love during this tough time.
My dad had a stroke in April. Sounds like our dads are similar. A lot of my dad’s personality was being outside in nature. It has been tough, but I just have to keep reminding myself that different dad is better than no dad. He still has so much to offer, and I can still learn so much from him. Hang in there! Thanks for all the fun book material!
I wish I could reach out and give you a big hug! My dad's suffered multiple heart attacks over the years, and it's hard watching him not be able to do things that he used to be able to do, and I still get super panicky every time he gets a cold. Lots of love to your dad and your family ❤️❤️
Sending you and your family so much love and strength. ❤
"Might have been on a pole" killed me ☠
Sorry to hear about your dad's health! Also love how well your mum knows your reading tastes! Video idea your mum picks your tbr!
My mom has a collection of Trixie Belden books (I think around 30-40 of them) and since she grew up with them, I also read them as a kid and they're one of the books I remember reading in like 3rd or 4th grade. It's really cool to see someone else acknowledge them. I've never seen them get talked about before, it's always either Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys.
Never read Trixie . Sounds great 😁📚📜
First, I loved watching you and your mom talk together about the books and things-it was so fun and enjoyable!!
Second, I k ow I’m watching this later than it happened but I’m so sorry to hear about your dad-and this was the perfect time for me to watch because my mom had a hemorrhagic stroke in July about a month ago and it’s been just hard to process because like your dad she has always been very active and couldn’t be found sitting still long at all; and now she’s in recovery/therapy to relearn basic life functions. I don’t know why but for some reason hearing you briefly talk about that made me feel like another person outside my family understands. I’m sorry, and thank you for sharing that with us.
another awesome reading vlog, kayla! i’m so sorry to hear about your dad, my dad has had two strokes and i know how terrifying it can be. sending your whole family lots of love and glad things worked out so you can be there for them. ❤️
We all support you Kayla.Wishing you and your family nothing but good thoughts.
