Finding a 5⭐ Author | Third Time's the Charm Reading Vlog 

The fact that this is ending with three seasons, three videos in each season, three authors in each video… just so satisfying. She is the TS of YT! 🎉

I have ALWAYS thought Tuesday is unequivocally the worst day of the week! validation 👏👏👏

Kayla, I just LOVE the way you talk about books. You are my absolute favorite book-tuber 😭

the imitation of the Zero Days swearing made me spit my drink at work😂

I TOTALLY agree that Tuesday is the worst day of the week. At least with Monday you just had the weekend to relax. Tuesday really makes it set in you're in the middle of the week. Boo Tuesdays!

i don’t want it to end 🥲

I could not agree more about Zero Days! I DNF'd it more than halfway through. I found it crazy how many times she recalls her husband saying she has such good instincts but I didn't get that at all from her thinking or choices!

This and your childhood rereads are my favorite series. I don't want this one to end

I am so sad that this series is ending, it's one of my favorites!

Tananarive Due has a brand new short story collection that came out over the summer called The Wishing Pool, published by Akashic Books. It was really excellent and I am so curious why I haven't seen it mentioned much! Wonderful video, as always!!!

It’s sad to see a series end but I know you have something great stirring up. ❤

I agree, Tuesday is the worst because on Monday you’re not as run down because hopefully you’re more rested from the weekend. When I worked a 9-5, Monday was the only day when I had enough energy to grocery shop after work.

Absolutely agree with the Tuesday thing! Always the worst day mentally! I've been saying this since I was 11!!🤣

I was NOT prepared for how large that bonfire was!

I live 10 miles away from this Boy's School and have visited the site many times. It definitely gives off an eerie feeling walking the grounds/ inside some buildings and Boot Hill. I loved the book and will be reading more by Due again.

Going into Rouge I knew that this was supposed to be the origin story for the Evil Queen from Snow White. That alone made me love this story so much!!!

I too have had the camera change colors drastically! A colleague once complimented me on my neon orange shirt for Halloween on a Zoom call, but it's actually more pink in person.

Very happy you 5 starred The Reformatory…that one is on its way to me and I’m looking forward to reading it! Can’t wait!

I love the last books cover, and all your rings 😍

You randomly blasting Blu Cantrell made my night. I love you. 😂❤

I loved zero days, brilliant story.

i don’t even read the same genre you but i love watching your videos and the way you talk about books ❤️

31:17 Couple goals 🥰

The Reformatory's synopsis kind of reminds me of The Spirit Bares Its Teeth, which I recently read and loved.

I found your channel recently and have become thoroughly obsessed. So excited for the new video!

“This must be a jellyfish” 🤣

i completely agree with your thoughts on rouge. i think its her weakest horror, just because it felt like it stagnated as it went along

i’m barely into the video so i don’t know if you’ll mention it but the reformatory is based on a real school in Florida called the Dozier School for Boys. Another book club i’m in read a nonfiction about it earlier this year called We Carry Their Bones. It’s a truly heartbreaking piece of history but one that definitely needs to be talked about more!

THAT'S WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT TUESDAYS FOR LITERAL YEARS

I 100% agree that Tuesdays are the worst. Mondays are kind of my favorite cause they're so fast.

Yes Tuesday is ABSOLUTELY the worst day of the week thank you!! I’ve loved this series so much ❤

The validation I feel over your review of Rouge. All I needed was for you to give a BIT of critique on it for me to feel at peace, ha

Thursday is definitely the worst day of the work imo. Monday and Tuesday are early enough in the week you're not exhausted yet. I'm in education and Wednesday is an early day. However, Thursday is just a speed bump to Friday and the weekend 😆

I feel bad that I'm not finishing the video right now, but I want to read the Reformatory before I hear your thoughts on it. Good video so far though.:)

I purchased a curling iron like yours because of how beautiful it makes your hair look ❤

My Texas self just does at you say -1 isn’t cold 😂 it was 40s Fahrenheit here and we were freezing 😂

My area always does trick or treating on the 30th and I don’t get it. Actual Halloween being on a Tuesday is even more confusing this year and I don’t even know what day it is

I’m sad this is coming to an end! I’d watch these for years to come! Maybe this idea but a new name going forward? 🤞🏼

It's so weird to me because I loved the woman in cabin 10 and thought the turn of the key was just ok... 😅 haven't read more from her but I'm curious now of what I'll think of the others and how different it might be from your thoughts.

I used to wish you would make shorter videos and now I’m NOT accepting anything less than an hour. Girl that’s the bare minimum, I love your channel so muchhh!

OH MY GOSH. my husband has been saying Tuesdays are the worst day of the week for YEARS. He even started a “Terrific Tuesday Initiative” TTI for short. Basically we pick an out of house or at home activity each Tuesday after work and do something fun so Tuesdays are a little sweeter and easier to get through. We have a schedule on who does what Tuesdays and if we are doing in/out of home. Would highly recommend for all fellow Tuesday haters.

I really want to read Rouge 😤

Kayla providing my morning warm down entertainment bc I get bored stretching 😂🎉 I ADORED ROUGE, it’s my fave one, she is such a specific flavour of weird and I’m in love with all the stories she puts out, I would deffo rank them rouge, bunny, alls well

Rouge to me is like the obsession of pain from All's Well and the weird cult from Bunny mixed together in the form of beauty products and a car accident you can't look away from.

You guys are ADORABLE.

Have you watched Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities? I think there is an episode in there that reminds me of this book. I think you would like the weird vibes of that show.

I’m sad this series is over because it’s so fun, but I’m glad it ended successfully!! 😍👏 I also feel so validated that I DNF’ed Rouge, that book just wasn’t for me I was so confused haha 😅

'shit, shit, shit' haha

I saw the thumbnail and I was like: “ooooh! One video I haven’t seen” and it was released just 10 minutes ago!! So happy to be here ❤

May I ask where you got the pumpkin onesie?

Zerro days: yess, I agree, such a boring book and no depth. Rouge: I'm still in the process of reading it. Weird book, no doubt. I also agree that there is not much plot to it, I'm getting close to the final.

so interesting! love this series.

i think i’m going to skip Rouge based on this review, i liked bunny but did not like All’s Well, so I think my next Awad will be 13 ways of looking at a fat girl. Maybe Rouge can be a library read…but i’m also interested in her going a different direction with future stories

The Reformatory was so good but so fucked up. I am haunted

TUESDAYS ARE ABSOLUTELY THE WORST YES. there was a phase in my life where i hashtagged #fucktuesdays on a lot of my instagram photos lmao

YES! I always talk about it with my coworker, tuesdays are the worst 🫠

“I am a pumpkin.” - Rob

Do I need that wooden triangle? No. Is it still in my cart? Yes 😅

Ruth Ware and Riley Sager (for me) only write 2 star books. I gave up on both these authors after being bored to death 🙄

I went back to watch the episode where you read another BA Paris book again now that I've read four of her books. She's become one of my favorite "thriller" authors. I put that in quotes because my favorite book of hers I wouldn't classify as a thriller. It's definitely mismarketed. I love the family drama in The Dilemma which is what that is. I'd compare that book more to Everything I Never Told You. Loved hearing your thoughts on BA Paris now that I've read her books. I love hearing your reasons why a book works for you or not. It's so well thought out. We tend to have very different tastes in authors but like the same concepts so I always find new books while watching you. Except Bunny. I love Bunny too! 😁🐇

I really loved rouge! The end made me cry. But it did feel slow at parts

yay! so excited that The Reformatory was a 5 star! I am going to read it soon (maybe listen to it, actually). Last Friday I went to a local second hand bookshop in Berlin that also does book lending and the woman there gave me Due's My Soul to Keep, which is a vampire book, so I will read that ASAP as well :D

After reading Rouge and having a very similar experience i think if someone was looking for a book dealing with the dark side of the beauty industry then Natural Beauty by Ling Ling Huang would be a really excellent recommendation (unless you have an aversion to body horror then it may be safer to avoid it lol)

I feel like Ruth Ware had a distinct shift in style when she changed publisher. The IT Girl proved she could do that well, but this one, idk if it's a pandemic book or what but it's not the level I know she's good for

I agree that Tuesday is the hardest day each week!!!

Yes! For years I have said the same thing about Tuesdays and for the same reason.

I can’t wait for Rouge and the Reformatory ☺️☺️

The end of third time's a charm?????? 😭😭😭

The thing about tuesday being the worst day of the week, I've been saying that for YEARS!. Thank you for aknowledging this truth.

I wrote in a past video that you wouldn't like Zero Days 😂. This really was a bad book. But i will still read her books.

Good morning happy Thursday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

Nooooo not the enddddd!! 😭😭😭

So happy to see a five star for The Reformatory!

So happy we ended on a high with this series!!🥹 I'm 75% through Rouge right now and I'm loving it! I'm obsessed with skincare so it makes sense that this was where I started with Mona Awad! I definitely thought the lipstick in the PR box was going to be Dior - Rouge!😂

In Zero Days I liked the fact that it didn’t go back and forth in time. I think that’s over used and annoying. I liked this Ruth Ware…there hasn’t been one I haven’t liked yet…I do agree that producing books too quickly for some of these authors is a real issue and diminishes the quality a bit…although never thought that about her books specifically…point taken though….love your videos…I’m addicted to y’all book tubers lol

I know everyone on that bonfire was jealous of your outfits

I cannot believe how grown and tall Liam is! Seeing the three of y’all is just a happy surprise! 🎉

My favourite series of yours ❤❤ but nothing can last forever I guess 😢

I know this is extremely random but do you have a shampoo/conditioner you can recommend? ♥️♥️

I miss you reading thrillers ❤

Tuesdays are the real Monday.

I HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT TUESDAYS ARE THE WORST DAYS FOR YEARS! NO ONE EVER AGREES! Mondays, sure they suck.. but they are like the first day of school. There's some momentum to it. That 'I can do this' push. But Tuesdays! That's when you realize 'oh no, this is it. This is what we're doing every day now'. No novelty or extra 'can do' push... You're just tired and stuck with the realization of your reality.

Omg Tuesday is the worst day!! Lol for some reason the week feels soooo long on Tuesdays, even though it’s only the second day, but maybe you’re right and it’s because the next weekend is so far away!

I also have been a firm advocate of Tuesdays being the worst day of the week.

Not me learning the lipstick trick in 2023 from Kayla 😂❤

Where is that sweater from in your intro!!!!!

I felt the same about Rogue. I wished she went in more detail about the spa or maybe that should have been the book.

❤❤❤

I agree Tuesday sucks but I may be biased because I always end up making my schedules (classes and extracurriculars) the longest/most tedious on Tuesdays

Tuesdays are my favorite day 😂😂 So much that I have taken it off permanently with my job availability

Justice for the face mask that didn't make it into the thumbnail!!!

I have been saying for decades that Tuesdays are the worst days of the week

I was so disappointed by Rouge. I loved Bunny and All's Well was almost as good, but Rouge is starting to feel repetitive in style. I was looking for something new and fresh but that book felt like all her old stuff stuffed in a blender and poured out into another book.

I’ve always said Wednesday is the worst day of the week. Mondays and Tuesdays you’re semi rested from the weekend, ready for life a bit more but by Wednesday, you’re SO tired and still have so much week left until the weekend. Thursday there is hope for Friday and Friday is Friday. Wednesday is the worst

I didn't like rouge nearly as much as bunny. not even close. ALSO can u please pretty please do an updated bookshelf tour??

Three years!?!? I can’t believe it, it was like yesterday 😢

I wish there were 20 more episodes 😅

I know I'm done with Ware and I think I'm done with Awad, unless she goes a different route. I'm not one for surrealist stories, but I'd like to see her try something new.

I just started the video but IT'S BEEN 3 YEARS? Where has my time gone 😢

Now I feel like I did not have a proper Halloween because I wasn't dressed like a jack-o-lantern
