Something I really appreciate about you is that you mix up genres. Obviously not all of us have the same book tastes, and I find almost all the big book tubers are reading the same books…. I hope next year you’ll continue to mix it up and read various genres ❤
Hey Khalilah, just wanted to say your one of the first booktoubers i started watching when i got back into reading like 2 months ago. Although im a 24 year old guy and im not into romance books (more of a nonfiction,military, horror, thriller etc type of person), its still cool to see the postivity and passion you bring to the hobby! Keep doing you and much love from the Bay Area!!
YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE KENNEDY RYAN’S WRITING!! The second book that’s after Before I Let Go comes out in March too so it’s perfect timing!!! Eeek can’t wait to see your thoughts! ILY 🥹🥹
I loved your idea of wrapping the books! I'm going to try that this year, too. If you're still wanting Christmas stories by black authors, Whiteout is a beautiful anthology. Here's the blurb! "Atlanta is blanketed with snow just before Christmas, but the warmth of young love just might melt the ice in this novel of Black joy, and cozy, sparkling romance-by the same unbeatable team of authors who wrote the New York Times bestseller Blackout!"
i am oobbbSSESSEDDDD with your confidence. it seems like in every damn video you're hyping yourself up and making comments about your looks and im here for it. pop off babe!!!!!!!
I’m sooo excited for you to read One Day in December. It does have some misunderstanding parts in it, but it is so good! One of my fave. FYI…they’re making it into a movie from what I’m hearing. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
i EAT up hallmark movies every time. You can't tell me you don't want your car to breakdown in a small Christmas town and have some handsome, tall, lumberjack man who provides for his grandma and little sister to help you and house you in his beautiful Christmas themed cabin while a huge snowstorm comes and you're stuck inside with him until you fall in love in the end. YOU CANT TELL ME YOU DONT WANT THAT
You mentioned looking for black authors and holiday books! Jasmine Guillory is one of my favorite authors and she is who got me back into reading!! She has some holiday books as well, I believe royal holiday! Otherwise the wedding date is sooooo good❤
I just love your vibe, like literally ever bit about it 😭one of the biggest reasons why I love watching your videos is the way you enjoy your company like that thing makes you look so beautiful and cute 🎀 Thank you for your hard work 🪻
What an adorable and awesome book haul vlog!! I absolutely love your enthusiasm for holiday spirit books and loved the idea of wrapping the books and then choosing them (along with your quest to find holidaze!) Thanks for sharing and I’m def going to pick up the first book you are reading. As a Filipina it is hard to find representation (esp in the book world) and absolutely love the story line too. Hope you enjoy the rest of the holiday season and have fun reading!!
Representation is beyond important. It reminds minorities that we can and are the main characters too. The holiday switch has been the best holiday book I’ve read thus far so I highly recommend it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 🩷
Khalilah shaking the 5th book like it was going to make noise lol, you are too funny. I love your videos/shorts, help me decide which book I want to read next.
The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride is SOOO good, the ending has me on the floor crying! I read it in July and I still think about this book. I'm definitely gonna reread the book and I wanna read more books from him especially The Color of Water: A black man's tribute to his white mother.
the Docs, the braids, the makeup, im obsessed 🤩🤩. if I was still working at barnes and noble and u came in I would force you to be my friend immediately
Oh yes! I have "Before I Let Go" on my tbr too. I don't know why but I've been putting it off for a while now. Can't to hear your thoughts about it! I've heard literally heard nothing but good things! also, your outfit did look super cute. You always slay in your videos, my gosh you're so pretty!🥰
the way you kept unwrapping books bc you didn't initially pick the one you wanted 😂 girl, same. Holiday reads make the season much happier :) I bought "Meet me under the mistletoe" by Jenny Bayliss, and I'm starting "Lovelight Farms"! I just want to cozy up by the fire on a chilly winter night, reading :') but I need to study lol
i love your book hauls. i don’t think i’ve ever read any holiday themed books either. I also find gift wrapping very therapeutic lol. Great video as always!!🩷
Ok this video is so funny! Thanks for the laughs and the great books recs! We are reading two of the same holiday books this Dec! I can’t wait to hear what you think of them.
I am in love with your vibe 💫 literally I enjoy every bit of it from heart 💛 One of the biggest reasons I love watching you is the way you enjoy your own company, lady that makes you even more cute 😭 and confidence is just your thing just keep going ✨
I can’t wait until my book A Merry Little Murder is apart of the holiday collection at Barnes & Noble! I released it on Ebook there and Kindle and so forth a few days ago. So happy! 🎉🤩🎁
Love your videos girl! I’m new here and so pumped every video release. 🎉 I’ve read a couple of these but appreciate the recs! I also wanted to say, if you haven’t read “The Hotel Book Club” by Sarah Morgan, give that holiday feel good story a whirl! So cute. (Not a romance necessarily but involves multiple relationships/friendships).
Okay … I never EVER comment on TH-cam videos because … social media anxiety. BUT the JK gif had me so weak 😂 that my ARMY heart gave me the bravery to say something! 💜 I have been watching your videos over the past few days and you have been lighting up my life. You’re so genuine and delightful … plus hilarious! I love your reading tastes and sense of humor! I feel like all the TH-camrs I subscribe to are my friends … but I feel like we would be friends foreal foreal. Stay you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for your videos! 🥰
I just found your videos not too long ago,and I absolutely love them and subscribed right away!! I clicked so fast once I saw you had a video today and loved seeing all the holiday books!! 😍🎄
Just by hearing you and looking at bit of what you do I can tell that you are such a beautiful girl! Have a great Christmas and now I’ll go book shopping for holiday’s books❤️🎄
I think you are my twin!😂 I have Before I let go… I purchased the Heaven and Earth Grocery Store can’t wait to get it! Those are my January reads. I’m the gift wrap queen in my family 😂 Wham …girl what?!! Like Christmas starts when that song plays! You did not disappoint you came through with the reads! 🎉Merry Christmas see you next vlog!
Heeeyyyyy bestie!!! The more comments I see from you the more I’m CONVINCED you’re my twin too 😭🫶🏽 you always make me smile, thanks for watching girlie!
All the books you don’t read for this you should save for next year but also after Christmas wrap more books, so that by the time next year comes around, you don’t remember which books are wrapped😂 then it’s really a surprise
You’re a mean one Matthew Prince by Timothy Janovsky is a Christmas book I read last year that I enjoyed because it was just silly goofy 10 things that never happened by Alexis Hall is also a holiday-esque book
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos for 📚 recommendations, the one thing that I have a problem w is when u put the text in light colours. I unfortunately have a vision problem & find it difficult to read.
i am terrible at wrapping gifts lmaoo. also last christmas is just the best song i remember whenever i heard it as a kid i would get so emotional and nostalgic
Oh my God the one book where she falls in love with him and he’s her sister’s boyfriend 😭😭😭 I gasped so loud and felt so bad!!!! Btw I love your videos and you look so freaking gorgeous!!!! ❤
Have you read highly suspicious and unfairly cute? It’s written by a black author and the 2 main characters are black. It’s a young adult childhood friends to enemies to lovers and it’s so cute!! I loved it

A very good Christmas book is.. Christmas by the Book by Anne Marie Ryan. I had to order mine from Amazon
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos for 📚 recommendations, the one thing that I have a problem w is when u put the text in light colours. I unfortunately have a vision problem & find it difficult to read.
Let us know what you think of In a Holidaze, I saw it at my grocery store, thinking about buying it for my kindle, seemed interesting!
I think that you and JJ or Henry from ice breaker would go perfect for each other if those guys we're real:))
In a Holidaze was a pretty good book!
The perfect way to end the day
And now I have a collection of books to recommend to my book club 🤭
i am terrible at wrapping gifts lmaoo. also last christmas is just the best song i remember whenever i heard it as a kid i would get so emotional and nostalgic
ugh right??!! just the best 💜 also don't worry, it's the thought that counts lol
You should do a video on Xmas gift ideas for women.
You should read the Once Upon a Broken Heart series by Stephanie Garber is so good!! 🔥🤍
I dont have a barnes anywhere near me, but i definitely bought the subscription for my booksamillion for the same reason 😂
Oh my God the one book where she falls in love with him and he’s her sister’s boyfriend 😭😭😭 I gasped so loud and felt so bad!!!! Btw I love your videos and you look so freaking gorgeous!!!! ❤
I saw you pick up Float by Kate Marchant in Barnes!! it’s such a great summer book to add to your tbr for next year :))
Have you read highly suspicious and unfairly cute? It’s written by a black author and the 2 main characters are black. It’s a young adult childhood friends to enemies to lovers and it’s so cute!! I loved it
Omg no but thank you for this recommendation!! Adding it to my GoodReads TBR now ☺️🫶🏽
