 good, terrible, bad, but like enjoyable hot trash. No. No. No. I feel like it's a kind of book. You've got to take what is useful to you and you've got to leave for this bullshit. And welcome back to my channel. Today we are going to read Kylie Jenner's favourite books. Are you maybe asking Megan why are we doing this? Why are we doing this? I just wanted to try it on Twitter. I am kind of asking myself that question. The Kardashians and the Jenners are like without a doubt some of the most influential celebrities out there. And so I feel like them saying this is my favourite book is going to influence so many people to read that book. So I want to see are they influencing the masses? Wow. Don't read anything. If you don't read it, it can't harm you. And I've had this video do since last summer when like during the pandemic, the start of the pandemic, when everyone was shut indoors, Kylie kept giving book recommendations on her Instagram and I was like, what is this? Like, Kylie we started reading. What? And we're just going to put these books to the test and see if I agree with her taste. So basically two of these are ones that she recommended during the pandemic. The first is Only Love Is Real by Dr Brian Weiss. I don't know much about this. I think it's about a psychiatrist and two soulmates that he and they're both his patients. And Kylie like recommended the shout out this book. She recommended it multiple times. I'll put I'll show you the receipts because I have them. I screenshot everything. People asked to like, what's your favourite book? She said this book. She posted like pictures of herself reading it and be like, if you need to read any book, read this book. So this is like the piece de resistance according to Kylie. This is like the best book on earth. So let's see. It isn't like my kind of book like this spiritual nonfiction, but we're going to give it a go. And then in one of the same pictures she posted that she also posted a book which is on my TBR. So this is something I wanted to test, right? This is a book that I used to want to read because it's like something that yoga with Adrian, for example, recommend to I love my queen. And so I thought it'd be a good test because it's a book I was already interested in. And it's the Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. This is like a personal growth self-help book, but I don't think it's as spiritual as this. I think this is like super spiritual and this is like a little bit spiritual. We're going to be reading a lot more like self-help-y stuff than I ever have, but maybe that is the key to success. Maybe the reason Kylie is a, is she a billionaire? Do we know? Is that like, is that being debunked? Maybe the reason why is because she reads books like this. What I'm hoping will happen when I read these books, LMAO. Did you, did you get the guy? Did you get the job? Is your house any bigger? Did money just magically, you know, get put in your pocket? And then I consulted the archives. I found the receipts. Basically, if you don't know Kylie Jenner wrote a book. I have a whole reading blog where I read Kendall and Kylie Jenner's book. It was a mess, but whatever. And one day, it was like 2014, I think, when she was doing promo for it, someone asked what is your favorite book. And she said Twilight. I've read that. But she also said Pretty Little Liars. Now, I never thought I would read Pretty Little Liars. I've never even watched the show. Like, I have no reference for this. Like, I've never watched it. I don't think I'm going to love it because I think to enjoy this, you had to read it like back in the day. And if you're going to reread it, you're going to rate it high for the nostalgia factor, but I have no nostalgia factor for this. So I just, I don't think I'm going to love it. I'm not holding out hopes. But in the same time, I'm kind of like, hmm, I'm kind of excited to experience this. So these are the books that we're going to be reading recommended by Miss Kylie Jenner. I am going to start with her favorite one, Only Love Is Real. This is like Kylie's number one recommendation. So I'm going to start with this, and I'll let you know what I think of it. Are you comfortable? I'm scared. Are you scared? You should be. Right, so I have an ear infection. Sexy, I know. So I didn't want to film. I didn't want to film. I don't want to talk right now. I'm in a lot of pain, but I have to model Kylie's Girlboss Energy. She's like, you know, a bastion. Built myself on the ground up with Girlboss Energy, and she would not take a moment off. I don't think, well, she would. She would, but she wouldn't want you to know she was taking a moment off because of the infection. So we're going to continue. We're going to persevere. Now, I have a theory. Because last time I did a Kardashian-related video was when I read Red Bull's City of Indra, Kylie and Kendall Jenner's book, and I got so ill. Like, that was the last time I was really ill when I filmed that video. I had the cough. I'm like half convinced I had COVID. That's another story. It's a Kardashian curse. It's a Kardashian curse. If you wrong them, if you make fun of them, you're going to be cursed like me. Why are two of the times I felt most unwell are when I'm doing a Kardashian Jenner video? It's a conspiracy theory that I'm actually interested in. So the Kardashian curse is real, and I'm living proof of it. But anyway, I am halfway through only love is real and you guys. So I'm not enjoying it. Basically, it is told from this psychiatrist. He's this famous psychiatrist who apparently is an expert in past life therapy. So you go to him and he'll let you go back into all your past lives that you lived in and learn lessons from them and learn how your ailments that you suffer with now are because of your past lives. Okay. Whether you believe in rebirth or not, the idea that this guy can get you to vividly remember your past lives, like, okay, okay, sir, okay. Basically, this one in particular is about, because here's loads of books. This one is about soulmates reunited. So like, apparently in our lives, we have souls that we are constantly, you know, within our lives. And this is about like soulmates from past lives finding each other. I genuinely, I cannot imagine Kylie Jenner reading this book. I can't imagine her sitting out in her million dollar home and like lounging in the sun and reading this book, which is what she posted all the pictures of. I cannot imagine it. I cannot imagine her like enjoying this. Like it's so like super duper spiritual. And like, maybe I need to get outside and go sit in my garden. I don't have million pound house. Don't have a pool, don't have a sun lounge. Maybe that's where we're going wrong. Maybe I can't get into this book because I'm not living the life of Kylie Jenner. If I could, I would like fly out and look in her home and say, Kylie, I need to read this book in your garden. Just leave me there. Like, I'll go on the sun lounge. You know, you can ignore me, but not happening. It reminds me a lot of the untethered soul, which I read a while ago, where it's just like two, like, this is the secret of life. This is the secret of the world. This is what life means. I'm like, girl, no, no, no, no, that's a lie. At one point, he was saying how the guy, his like chronic neck and back pain that he'd been having for like so many years was because of a mortal sword wound he took through the neck in like, I don't know, 500 AD. So that's what we're talking about here. Very strange. There was one page where I read it, and I was like, huh, okay, I can see that. I think it was about like living life in the present and like nurturing your soul first and then your body, but like then working in tandem and not being too harsh on your body and yourself. That I was like, okay, we can, we can vibe. We can vibe. But the rest is a struggle. It's going to take me like four hours to read the next 80 pages. I can tell you it right now. Like I was like, this will take me like an hour to read. That is not the case. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So, no. I'm going to give me one star. I'm going to give me one star. It just wasn't for me. Listen, I went and I looked on Goodreads. The girlies love it. Like it's got like a four point something on Goodreads. But I think if you're like going to be picking this up, you're already going to be the kind of person who's going to engage with it, like the whole reincarnation thing, the whole spiritualism. And it just wasn't for me personally. It just wasn't for me. It's not for main park. I feel terribly ill all of a sudden. I could just never get past the fact that this was like fiction. Like, I could never imagine this being real. Like what he was talking about, like with the patients. I don't know why Kylie Jenner is so into this book. I suppose it's maybe a bit like Ale, motivational, I'm that bitch, like my life is ordained to be as it is, you know, whatever. But Miss Kylie, I'm sorry I didn't vibe. Now, listen, this is not just like something she's posted on her story, like the four agreements. She twice said you've got to read this book. So like this is like Kylie's viable. And I just can't imagine like her vibing with this. It just seems so like outdated to me and like interesting. It wasn't it was yeah, yeah. I also just thought the guy couldn't write. I'm sorry. Like, listen, this may be true and he may be a great psychiatrist. I don't know. I can't really comment. But the guy couldn't write. Like he needed a co-op for this shit. Like, he was rambling. I'm going to be honest with you. I'm kind of ashamed, but I've got to be honest to you. I fell asleep reading this. I fell asleep in the middle of the day. I like three o'clock. If there was that boring, I fell asleep. Very rarely has a book ever made me fall asleep. Like it was you guys, it was the most boring shit. And the whole, the whole thing is about these people supposedly being soulmates and like finding each other in their other lives. But like literally, I'm going to spoil it in case you don't care. But they literally like it's on page maybe 160 out of 170 that they meet and realize that they're soulmates and then we didn't get any of the after. And like you've just spent the whole book talking about them in isolation. It's just not interesting like talking about their individual past lives. I wanted more of them like finding each other and like, and maybe remembering each other in the past lives or like anecdotes he had afterwards because sure they weren't like, they kind of met and then they weren't his patients anymore. If this is all to be believed. I was just like, I was just not satisfying to read in it. No. Right now. I couldn't get any worse. You guys wouldn't recommend it. I didn't think any of you were coming to this book for recommendations. But like, it was so boring. Now I'm actually excited to read Pretty Little Liars because it's going to be like fun and campy and shit. But it's going to be like fun shit. You know what I mean? Not like boring shit. It's going to be like exciting shit. I never thought I'd be reading Pretty Little Liars. I thought I'd miss that train. Like I thought that train had come and passed me by but apparently we are. I'm going to like spoil the book for everyone. I hope you don't care. Like it's been out for a long time. I think if you cared about the story of Pretty Little Liars at all, you would have read the book or watched the TV show by now. So I'm going to go do that. I'm not ready. You guys. Halfway through, Pretty Little Liars. And it's like terrible. It's awful. Like it's really bad, but I am enjoying reading it. I don't think so. I don't think I'm allowed. No, I don't. I don't. No. I'm not allowed. I know I'm not allowed. I feel like it's just like hot trash. It's just like good, terrible, bad, but like enjoyable hot trash. Listen, it's like problematic as fuck. It's very bad in that regard. Like it's written in 2006, so it's got that like skinny girl culture, like, you know, eating disorders, you know, offline, glamorized, whatever. One's trying to sleep with their teacher. I'm sure you all know this if you watch Pretty Little Liars, but I haven't. So basically, if you don't know, if you don't know the story of Pretty Little Liars, which like probably you'll do, Alison, she goes missing when they're in like seventh or eighth grade. And all these girls, these girls have secrets. These girls have secrets. And Alison like knew them all. She was like, she was like the popular one. So she like had all the other girls on the string. She goes missing, presumed dead. And then they're in like 11th grade now. And they've started getting letters about their secrets assigned A. Now I'm pretty sure Alison isn't A. I think that'll be like maybe the reveal at the end of this book. There's seven books. That is not correct. Not saying I'm going to continue on with the rest of the series because it's terrible, but like so they all think Alison is like back to like tell my secrets. I think one of like the also this is problematic. One of like the dark secrets is one of them is a lesbian. Like I think that's her dark, deep secret. The other ones are like, I'm guessing maybe murder or some shit, but that's on the same level as being a lesbian. This is terrible, but it's fun. Like I it takes me back to when I would go to the library as a kid because I like got all I read all my books from the library and I would pick up shitty YA. I can remember the little YA section in the library was just a cart, like one double sided stack of shelves that are like shorter than me, you know, like three levels maybe. And it was all just shitty YA on there. And this is like what I was reading. Like I didn't read this obviously. I did read like a lot of contemporaries as well, but I've forgotten them. Like this kind of high school bitchy YA contemporary was my shit. And I'm not ashamed of that fact. And I am kind of enjoying being back in this world. I don't know if I would say that this is badly written for its time, because I felt like it's just, it's quite like paced quite well, like the girls like bad, bad girls. And it's just kind of fun to read. I'm kind of like vibing with it as someone who's never read the show. So I'm gonna finish it, you guys. It's actually kind of maybe on something. I would never have read this, but I feel like I am absorbing a key moment in book pop culture history when reading it. Time to see a new kid. Okay, so I finished Pretty Little Liars and it was terrible. Like it was so bad. It was awful, but I enjoyed reading it enough that I'm gonna give it three stars. This is disgusting. I like it though. Listen, this is like problematic as fuck. Like it wouldn't be published today, but it was like a quick, shitty, bad read. And I kind of enjoyed the experience of it. What can I say? I enjoyed myself. I enjoyed myself. The thing is, these kind of like YA series, I was wrong. There's not seven books, there's like 14 or something. These kind of books, they're like not books on their own, these kind of like YA series that we had back in the day. Like you're supposed to kind of go and get like the first four out of the library and then like just speed through them all, because this is like the first third of a book really, like stretched out. Not much happened. Like it's not really its own book. I'm not gonna carry on with the series. I don't think I like enjoyed it that much to like want to read on, but I am glad that Kylie liked this because it's finally got me to like know the Pretty Little Liars world a little bit. Like it was a part of pop culture I had just missed out on, but I feel like I get it now. Like it's trash, but it's kind of like fun trash. I couldn't stop reading it. Do you know what I mean? Like just shit was happening, shit was hitting the walls, like it was like crazy and it was awful. It was like terribly done, you know, hot trash, but I kind of like enjoyed the experience a little bit. Like I wouldn't sit here and recommend to you that you read this, but I also think it was kind of like the OG YA mystery in a way. Like maybe not OG, but it was like one of the early ones. Like I feel like we have to recognize that this paved the way for some like YA mysteries that I really enjoy now. So we have to give a bit of kudos for that. I have to recognize the effect that this has had on society and on history basically. Now I'm gonna go and read our last book of this video, which is The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. And like I said at the start of this video, this is like the only one in the book. So I actually wanted to read beforehand. Like I was actually interested in reading this book. It was on my want to read. So I'm hoping it may be like the most successful in the video. It's like tiny, it won't take me long to read at all. So yeah, let's go do it. The first two agreements, which are like these life lessons, right? I don't have like full thoughts on it yet. I don't think I don't think I'm because it's so short. Like I feel like I won't be able to tell you much until like right at the end. But I feel like it's a kind of book. You've got to take what is useful to you and you've got to leave what is bullshit to you, you know, personally. The first two agreements or lessons in this are being impeccable with your word, which basically means like don't act in anger and say things to hurt others. And number two is don't take anything personally. So it's like if someone says something mean to you that says more about them than it does you, which are like kind of universal ideas, but it is good, I think, to hear them again. So I've enjoyed like that aspect is definitely I think I think it's good to maybe read stuff or consume stuff like this occasionally because it does remind you of those kind of values. But there is some stuff in this that I like don't agree with and like I'm like, when I'm reading it. One example is in that take being impeccable with your word thing. It said how if someone gave an example, if someone says to another, you have the kind of color of a person who's going to get cancer and the other person believes it in a year they'll have cancer. And like that just doesn't like, I don't know. I don't think it was a metaphor either. Like I think it was saying it legit. And like I just I that's where I draw the line. I'm enjoying elements of it. I think it's the kind of thing that is helpful to read, even if like I said, take the parts that are useful to you and leave the parts that aren't. So I'm going to finish it tonight. Obviously it's not long at all. But it's just like okay, you know, I think it's a useful thing to read, but I'm not blown away. So I'm going to give it two stars. Here's the thing, I agree with like everything that this book is saying pretty much. It's ideas of living in the moment, you know, treating yourself and others kindly putting your best into everything but recognizing your best is going to be different every day. All of those things are things like I agree with and I think it's important to remind ourselves of. However, the way this was written wasn't for me. This is not for me. No. It may be for some people, but I felt like there was just a lot of this language that was kind of masking what it was actually saying, you know, it's because of like the judge, the victim, the parasite. And I was like, let's just talk about this in layman's terms. I just feel like it would be a lot more accessible to like a lot of people if it was spoken about in that way. I don't know. I just feel like some of this like spiritual stuff that is told in this kind of way, I feel like is supposed to sound really clever and like groundbreaking when really it's just like core human values that we should remind ourselves of and like try to implement in our lives. But like the way it's told is too much, too much for me. This video wasn't a success, but I'm glad that I did it because who knew, who knew that pretty little liars would be the standout in this video? Who could have predicted that at the start of this video, not me. I kind of read this as a joke and I gained like a certain level of respect for it because of like it being one of the first kind of like mysteries YA and obviously it's shit and like bad, but I enjoyed the reading experience. That was a three star then we had a two star and then we had a one star Kylie's favorite book which I'm still surprised is like her favorite book. I just didn't connect like at all. I don't understand why it's her favorite book. But if Kylie can take something from this or the power to her, you know what I mean? I hope you enjoyed this vlog. Let me know what celebrities you would like to see me do this with in the future. If there's a Kardashian or Jenna you would like to see me do this with first or whoever. I'm happy to do it forever. This is fun. I love finding out celebrities favorite books even if I don't love them. I do like the experience of reading them because I think you can learn a lot about a person by reading their favorite books. If you've gotten to the end of this video comment the um there's like a sh emoji right? I'm not making that up. That that is correct. Comment the sh emoji for pretty little, pretty little likes. It needs to be slightly off-center. And yeah thank you so much for watching. Make sure you subscribe if you haven't already and I'll see you very very soon in another video. Bye!
