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
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 🤞🤞🤞
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!!
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!
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.
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
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
The Cinnamon Bun Bookstore seems like the perfect one for the season, and it'd be a quick, easy read! Libby holds should totally count. I'm actually really excited to see what your mom picks for fantasy, I bet it will be a good one, I bet she has great taste.
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 ☺️
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 💞
For the memoirs, Here After was an absolute tearjerker. It was stunning and beautifully written. It was also fairly short (lots of blank space on the pages & short chapters) so if you're short on time, that's probably a good one to go with. I'm currently reading All in Her Head and it's fantastic. Each chapter is fascinating and it's going by fairly quickly. For the Romance category - my vote is for Tia Williams Libby definitely counts for library holds!
Totally voting for Wild Love ❤ I read it and loved it it got me obsessed with Elsie Silver; I even bought and annotated a copy for my friend’s birthday ❤
I had been waiting for your reactions and what you were going to do this year for GR choice awards!! I do miss the days of you reading all of mystery/thriller and/or horror but this new mix up idea is so fun-I can’t wait to see how it plays out!!!
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!
The Cinnamon Bun Book Store! And yes Libby counts ♥️
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
Because of the 🤠 jars we have to go with Swift and Saddled 🌵💕👢
Good point 😂😂
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 😂😂
Kayla you never stop having the best, most engaging ideas on BookTube! This is why you are the QUEEN!
Yes, Libby should definitely count! It's also coming from the library!
Agreed!!
Agree!
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!!
your example at the beginning actually happening is insane
It gives me so much joy 😅
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! 👀
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!
"The love of my afterlife" sounds interesting for the Romance section.
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
HAPPY GOODREADS CHOICE AWARDS SEASON TO THOSE WHO CELEBRATE!
I’m sorry but that first transition!?!? I had to rewind and watch again it was so smooth!!
“Did you have to use the word cull?” 😂
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
Libby holds definitely count! Might also help diversify the results a bit better! 🤗
1st pick: Cinnamon Bun Book Store!
2nd pick: Ricki Wilde
Swift and saddled - it sounds like it’ll be a fun experience regardless
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
Swift & Saddled was my pick for best Romance. I loved it even more than the first book in the series!
that transition to the desk 😮💨
I vote for A Love Song for Ricki Wilde! :) and libby holds should totally count!
A love song for Ricki Wilde!! One of my favorite reads of the 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!!
I love how much fun you make with your reading & how original your videos/challenges always are!!
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 🤞🤞🤞
My vote is for the Paradise Problem. This video is so fun!
Swift and saddled sounds like a camp time! 🥰
I genuinely look forward to Kayla Choice Awards content all year!
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 😅
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 is so quick and fun!
Libby absolutely counts!!! How to End a Love Story was one of my favourite reads so far this year!!!!
Blood's audiobook was very good! It's narrated by the author and I learned so much
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.

Dungeons and Drama is so cute!
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 🩵
Swift and Saddled for the cover alone
Nice transition omg! 4:24
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.
My vote is for The Love of my Afterlife because it’s been staring at me on my bookshelf!
Also, yes Libby holds count!
i was about to go to bed but i simply must watch this first
My pick is the cinnamon book store!! Also the pure terror when you picked romance had me dying, so valid 😂😂
I’m voting for The Love of My Afterlife! ❤
Love this video! My vote for romance is: Kevin Kwan Lies and Weddings. Hoped the wedding setting would work for you :)
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
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!
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
The Cinnamon Bun Book Store is my vote since you had a good time with the Pumpkin Spice Cafe!
Libby definitely counts as coming from the library
The Cinnamon Bun Book Store because a cozy romance seems like fun
Swift and Saddled!
The Cinnamon Bun Bookstore seems like the perfect one for the season, and it'd be a quick, easy read! Libby holds should totally count. I'm actually really excited to see what your mom picks for fantasy, I bet it will be a good one, I bet she has great taste.
My pick for you: The Love of My Afterlife. Haven't read it but heard good things
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 ☺️

Third: Libby holds absolutely count!!
Happy reading 💞
I just love your gamified videos
Omggggg "Play along" for romance!!!! Ive loved all the books in that series and I think you would enjoy it :))))))
loved this video so much, can't wait for the follow up!
For the memoirs, Here After was an absolute tearjerker. It was stunning and beautifully written. It was also fairly short (lots of blank space on the pages & short chapters) so if you're short on time, that's probably a good one to go with.
I'm currently reading All in Her Head and it's fantastic. Each chapter is fascinating and it's going by fairly quickly.
For the Romance category - my vote is for Tia Williams
Libby definitely counts for library holds!
I’ve been in the hospital for a while and I just saw this and it’s calming me down ❤ thank you Kayla
Girl you're glowing in this video! You look amazing.
Also love the content. Thank you for keeping me motivated to continue reading :)
Not The Pairing! I was so disappointed.
I'll vote for the Cinnamon Bun book because you seemed the most interested in that one :)
That first transition was crazy!
YES to Rob including A Crane Among Wolves in his picks!
I enjoyed Love of My Afterlife! That’s my pick!
Swift and Saddled! Also, libby holds should definitely count. You'll need some audiobooks for this I think!
Totally voting for Wild Love ❤ I read it and loved it it got me obsessed with Elsie Silver; I even bought and annotated a copy for my friend’s birthday ❤
This was so fun to watch. I hope you like the YA book. I read it this year it was really cute.
Paradise problem! I haven’t read it yet, but I’m excited to!! 😂
I had been waiting for your reactions and what you were going to do this year for GR choice awards!! I do miss the days of you reading all of mystery/thriller and/or horror but this new mix up idea is so fun-I can’t wait to see how it plays out!!!
I am here re-watching this video in anticipation for the finale today!
I loved this video!! Can't wait to see the next.
I loveeeeed just for the summer😭 so that gets my vote! Xx
Love this idea! Keeping the goodreads video fresh :D
I have been trying to figure out how to pick my goodreads tbr and this is the PERFECT idea!
The Love of My Afterlife was one of my favorites of the year!
'Love of my Afterlife' sounds interesting!
Love of My After Life is my pick!
Swift and Saddled is my vote for the Romance category!! Can't wait to watch the vlog 🫶
out of the romances the paradise problem is the most rom-com-y so potentially one you'd enjoy most!
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 😂
Swift and Saddled and I hope you like it!!!
I'm voting for Love of my After Life because it's on my TBR right now too :D
