Yay our friendship is still alive!
Though I came here ready to fight and you didn't let me do that so now I'm mad at you
(I'm so happy you loved my boy Locke Lamora and his boy Jean!)
I would have fought alongside you if it came to that 😈
I think you’re too used to your community’s teasing about it. LLL is a great book and the series just gets better.
I am so glad that Gavin love The Lies of Locke Lamora. 😊
oh no my baby being used against me 😅okay you know what I'll take it, this could have ended worse, happy you experienced the screams 😂2nd and 3rd have the same format I believe! they all feel so quick and engaging. Ama take you loving lies of loche lamora as a semi personal win too haha
31:55 - 36:29 I AM ON THE FLOOR CRYING This whole segment was phenomenal 🤣🤣🤣
I'm late but I need to write this, please please don't let your cats out, no matter the neighborhood. I follow a few rescue groups on Facebook and the pictures of cats that are being let out of homes and had some tragic accidents are a lot to handle. Your kitties seem to be amazing and they love you a lot and they really don't need to go out to have a good life, quite the opposite. There are too many things that could happen, poisoning, car accidents, people harming them, them getting lost.. It's not worth it honestly.
Oh good, I see we can still be friends 😌
Ahhhh!!! I LOVED this Gavin!! I am sooooo happy that you enjoyed the book!! I will happily take my throne at 9th place! From One Piece to Monday’s Not Coming - we have come such a long way! 😂
Good for you on the new couch. It’s so strange and exciting to get grown up purchases
Watching this while painting my bedroom because after years of renting and living in houses that are not homes, I’m finally in my own place and able to make it the home I’ve been craving and it’s so nice to see other people going through the same thing 💕
You can report your neighbors if they're being loud on a weeknight until like 4am. The UK has sound/noise laws, doesn't it?
I really enjoy the life bits and whatnot in between the book updates, Gavin. They always puts a smile on my face. The Parent Trap accent swap made me cry with laughter!
Aw thanks so much Kim!
Ok I missed the parent trap watch along but now I have to go back and watch it. I nearly spit water all over my computer when you were talking about Meredith and then when you tried to say aluminum like an America I snorted
Same here. 😂
I clicked instantly when I saw Merphs face, and then was like ' if he doesn't pick up Locke imma cry'! Thankfully you did and I'm so happy you enjoyed it ! Along with Jurassic Park, it's one of my favourite recommendations of Merphs ^^ As a non native English speaker it was a real hurdle to read, especially the first third, but once the story gets going you can't put it down
1:01:05 i fully went "SWOOOOOOOOOP" 😂 i just started following her not that long ago, but her docs are SO good
The soap suds in the beard 😂🩵
Seriously, I am sitting at work and crying laughing listening to you and Lexi swapping accents. 🤣🤣🤣
Also the dramatized version of red rising is amazing 😊
I’m scared someone is going to take my top spot. 🤭🤭🤭
I love how much you love your cats!!! 💜🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛💜
The wig and accents killed me!!! omg. fun vlog.
I love Stephanie Soo too! Her Rotten Mango podcast is so entertaining. Recently discovered your channel and have been binging. Thanks for the hard work/content.
Gavin, thank you so much for your channel! Also, I told my cousin (the Animorphs Stan) about your 4 hour video and she was intrigued. Also, I love when you go Magnum Opus. ❤
Oh I felt that. I was listening to the Sleeping Giants Audio (knowing nothing) in bed to fall asleep. I was halfway gone when the scream happened. I literally needed like 20 minutes just to stop shaking.
Still love the series though!
Is it just me who’s invested in Gavin’s Hazelnut Syrup equipped Witch Café?
I love these videos so much. And the accent swapping was so funny 😂
Loved this vlog!! Soooooo much fun!!
❤️📚❤️...Great video! Love your new sofa, congrats!!
Ha, 3 of the 4 books are on my TBR. This video made me even more excited to read them!
You should vlog “Reading Booktube Friends: sequels” since it seems like a lot of these are series
I love the vloggy parts of this video! You can definitely make content out of your every day life and house updates and similar, if that's something you feel like doing. I know that I would watch it and perhaps it could help a bit your conflict of what to prioritize (channel vs you).
Those kitties of yours are DIVINE! Also, great chat as always ❤
It has been so fun seeing more of your day to day life. I really enjoy your vlogs and am so glad you are doing some stuff for you 😊
Love these vlogs so much Gavin! ❤ Really hope you will be making more vlogs like these in the future or just normal reading vlogs would be awesome as well
Being excited about a new sofa is the best thing….I got a new hoover a couple of months ago and I was giddy with excitement when it came 😂😂😂
I love this series so much! What a great way to discover new books and genres! Looking forward to more of these 😀
Ahh!! So glad to get a new installment of this series. It’s one of my favs on your channel. I learn about new books, and new channels through you. So much fun seeing you have fun with the booktube community!
Hey Gav! I’ve also been feeling like I’ve been slowly drifting away from the book community the last few months. I haven’t been able to read or get excited about new books and new releases. I’ve been trying hard to get out of my slump lately and seeing you also go through a similar situation, really helped me feel better about this whole thing. I’m happy not to be alone, and love seeing your awesome videos, as always.
Ok im convinced, I will embark on the Red Rising saga.
Amazing video, glad you got a new sofa, can't believe you had to try fit it through there, looked impossible 😅
Congrats on your new couch! It really is a great feeling to finally get a new high quality one for yourself.
We need the rain in the in Texas not a drop here.
Your new sofa looks like a wonderful reading spot. 😊 enjoy your videos very much!
I am so happy you liked Red Rising!!! ❤❤❤ I love the themes of Roman and Greek! I describe the series as Rome in space! It is so much more than that, though! After those first 70 pages or so it feels like non stop action, and manipulatetive machinations just to survive. I love it!
Rewatching this and literally laughing out loud and my coworkers are laughing at me lol!
Omg I looooove this series!
Your skin is gorgeous!! 😮 I’m gunna need either the filter you use or drop your skin care routine 😊
I enjoy watching this series that you do very much. 🙂
Oh perfection. A new Gavin video just in time for chores. Let's do it!
We moved into our home 12 years ago, and when we started renting, I was like this is just temporary until we can find a place we love. Then we bought the house 10 years ago and I was still like, ok this is temporary.
Yeah, we're still here. So I get that thought of, why go through so much to decorate and really make it feel like home, but now I'm like whatever, this is my home right now, so I want to make it peaceful and welcoming and cozy. With 4 children and multiple animals, it's not very clean or peaceful haha, but it is well lived in for sure.
This video series are always so much fun. I have not read any of those books but I also had Monday's not coming on my radar. I have also been really interested in Sleeping Giants. I should read a bit more scifi.
I also can not read in bed anymore. Congrats on the new couch!!! I am glad to have a big couch and a reading chair on my book room. I do recommend that if you have space.
I also wasn’t interested in reading Red Rising, but then I saw a picture of the author… might need to read the series soon to get the hype
Loved this video with all the fun things you did with your friends and some were my fave moments too. I had so much fun with all the watchalongs.❤
And so happy you treated yourself with the new comfy coutch you deserve it.❤️ I really need to read all of these too Lies of Lock Lamora has been on my shelves for years! I got it because Merphy loves it so much.
Read it, you won't regret it!
this was so fun to watch! with what you were talking about with the beginning plot of red rising -- i thought it was a spoiler when i first read it because it took a while to happen, but now i know that's a trope that people can love or hate, so it's good to know abt beforehand
i also struggle with noisy neighbors (in my case, kids screaming all day and most of the night), and i use airpods, a fan, and rain asmr to drown them out
Monday's Not Coming is my favourite from Tiffany D. Jackson. So happy you read it 😊
Fantastic video. The boys are so adorable.
Omg I love Bailey Sarian haha I showed her to my parents and my dad frequently watches her videos now too. I love her dark humor.
Loved the video, I have Locke Lamora and Red Rising on my physical TBR so hoping I like them too!
Omg I love these videos! They are so much fun. What I think you should do now is take your top five and have a book-off!!! Read another one of their favorite and see who come out champion! Thank you so much Gavin for making my day so much fun with your videos, your doing fabulous!
I loved The Lies of Locke Lamora, I was surprised too. It feels like you can read it as a standalone almost.
This is wholesome ❤
I love the petty university sweatshirt! Swoop is wonderful ❤️
Ooooh if you like the formatting and layout of Sleeping Giants, you should also read World War Z. It was seriously so good and a very quick read.
omg this vlog just gave me flashbacks to listening to the Sleeping Giants audiobook at the beach with my eyes closed and losing it at the scream. i read the second book physically and definitely enjoyed it much less without the audio.
I’m so happy you didn’t enjoy Daisy Jones either. I felt like I was the only one. Lol. Audio was good.
Anywho….I’m reading The Book of Stolen Dreams…..and it’s a dream! Loving it so much!
I genuinely think Red Rising is the best once you hit Iron Gold and Dark Age (exceptions for me being the final scene of Morning Star and Mustang’s “moment” near the end of Golden Son). The way Pierce Brown expands the scope by adding points of view and how he manages the extra plot lines is just SO GOOD. Mostly though I love how you get to see post resolution politics, which you basically never get in dystopias. And also getting a window into Mustang’s brain is absolutely primo, iconic, no notes. Haven’t read Light Bringer yet and I will be very very upset if anything worse than what has already happened to her happens.
The Themis Files is one of my fave audiobook series.
I also love Swoop as well
Not the shower head 😭
My favourite red rising book is Golden Son. Better than red rising itself be used that ending
Duck tape a pop bottle with holes poked in it for the shower head until you get your new one in
Red Rising is a great series! And it's long enough that you really get your heart kicked in a few times as you get to know and love the characters. I don't think *that* plot point is a spoiler for book 1 - it happens early enough on and is the catalyst for the events that happen for the rest of the series. Plus, Becca says the "spoiler" every time she mentions Red Rising, so I think you're safe 😅
awwww your move in anniversary is on my birthday! also i really liked how more "chill"/ relaxed this vlog seemed. i think you should show more of the decor/things that you want to do for your home. i know it may seem boring to you but i just really like you as a person and like seeing you happy so maybe do more casual videos so you're less stressed out??? idk just a thought. i'll watch pretty much anything you bless us with. also perhaps the police could show up to ur neighbors house during the parties somehow... bc of an unknown caller??? just a thought lol. love you gav!!
You and Lexie are amazing I loved this so much❤️❤️ need to resubscribe to your patron when I have the funds☺️
The amount of cat stuff in your house is the best ever. I feel like I should get my cats more now 😅
I also prefer to go into books blind and if you're referring to you know who getting cut from the story, it does happen in chapter 6 so it's not really a spoiler. I will say though, the ending to the Golden Son messed me up so highly recommend continuing with Red Rising!
I think it's hilarious how you use this video as an opportunity to do house Chores while I use it to do mine too!
You make me miss London! :(
I have two young cats too and am wondering what are some of your cat’s favorite toys I’m always looking for suggestions. Also do you have a cat hammock?
your cats are adorable
Idea for another vid in this series 🤗 whoever is the bottom 4 on the leaderboard, give them a Round 2 to redeem themselves

I also really enjoy the slice of life parts in this video, It kinda gives a personal touch. Also, if I ever become rich, id buy you a house. I also got very giddy when my comment came up, even if it was for just a moment, it made me happy. I hope you feel less stressed now gav, please tell me if I can do anything :)
For me locke lamora felt like if you took robin hood, mistborn, six of crows and oliver twist and shoved them in a blender then thats what it sort of is 😂 i recently finished it and i loved it
❤ have a good weekend!
Please please please keep reading Sleeping Giants. The audiobooks are amazing and you HAVE to read the Lost Files along with it. Only Human is different from the first two for sure but one of the best sci-fi series out there. The interview format makes it all the better.
omg stephanie soo!!! have you watched her marriage vlog??? i bawled my eyes out TvT
Oh lovely, it’s heartbreaking hearing how you do not feel safe to out down roots in the house you are living in. I completely understand that feeling and uncertainty is just crap.
The only thing that I can say about furniture is that you take it with you. So investing in things to make this house feel like a home will also work to make the next house feel like a home too.
Investing in pieces for your peace of mind is so so important and they will help ground you whenever you move by making the next place feel like a home for you faster. Only good things can come of this decision to prioritise yourself 🤍
Gavin, you could create the caHwpile system....
When i first saw this series, i was like *gavs far too nice for this*
Now i definitely think your too nice 😂 your the only person alive to not tell me to sod off
Clicked as soon as I saw! Which was an hour late, but oh well.
Probs just me but if my neighbours were making racket past 11pm multiple times a week, I'd be calling the landlord (if possible) and the police (by law you can report them between 11pm and 7am for Disruption) every time. Also I'd be getting up at like 7am to wake them up in revenge. I don't do "noisy neighbours". Fuck 'em.
Is it common in the uk to let your cats go outdoors? Indoor cats are more common in the US.
I think it would be fun to see you try a book from ByMadisonFox because I think it would be something outside of your comfort zone! Also would love to see sarawithoutanH, RileyMarie_, or JordalineReads
Maybe G should do the hotness of the Author just for fun... 😂😂😂
Didn’t know Pierce Brown was hot 🔥 you learn something new everyday
Ash looking handsome as always!😻
Locke fkn lamora 😂 let me go add this to my TBR
We seem to be going through a similar thing with our homes! We’ve been talking about moving for a year and it’s just not possible atm so we finally bought some big furniture pieces and rearranged things and it’s made me feel so so so much better! I hope you get that relief and that your house becomes a home 💗 the sofas are very beautiful!! Love them!
@@stephaniebookish You and I proving we really are twins yet again! I know exactly how you feel, and it is about time we feel comfortable in our own homes
OMG i just wanna know about the program you use for giving the book a score. What is that program? 😳
this is fun, cause I know 3 of these friends :D
I hope you'll continue with red rising and do videos with spoilers potentially because it seems like such a clusterfuck of a series that 1. I think you'd like it and 2. I need someone to help me understand it lol apparently pierce brown puts character names into a hat and whomever he pulls out is gonna die
Haha oh my gosh that intrigues me to no end 😂
AYEE Rotten Mango fan!
Were you thinking of “Sophie’s Choice?” Or am I overthinking this lol
You should try making a whole video with american accent
ALI!!!!! BRYAN!!!!
Your American accent 🤣
