you so should have put the word 'pregnant' in the thumbnail. that should just be a thing now; every time you make a video with Hazel you put 'pregnant' somewhere.
Dan is such a wise, kind, genuine soul that I've only just started watching but I know must be an amazing friend. Those who have the honor of having him as a friend, cherish him, because he's a keeper.
I'm actually really proud of you Daniel. You were able to make a video every single day to entertain us (which you're doing really well👌), even on the days you didnt really have anything to post/say. Tomorrow will be kind of bittersweet, but I've really enjoyed Veda so far. Thank you. And remember, be a good egg! 🥚
i haven't read a book since summer ended so...eight months? i'm either working, studying or sleeping (or faffing about not doing my homework but also not reading). i've finally dropped calculus though, so i've picked up a book to read this morning! down with math!! sorry if you love math
*SPOILERS FOR 'WE WERE LIARS' LOL* Thank god for my awful memory! I've watched this video countless times. A couple weeks ago I read We Were Liars because everyone said the twist was amazing, and I thought it was great too! Sobbed my eyes out, in fact. Imagine my surprise when I click on this video and hear Hazel spoiling the shit out of it! I remember her talking about a book where it was obvious some people died, but I didn't remember the name of the book and I just never connected the dots!
Dan, We're all very proud. Actually, I am seriously proud. Been watching for a while and I think you're great. I am very impressed with people keeping up with VEDA. I did it last year (or the year before... yeah that) and only on weekdays and it is SO hard. definitely taught me a lot though. on a side note, HOW is sleepy jetlagged Hazel so darn GORGEOUS?
Dan, an excellent video! You don't need Hazel (Hazel I love you!). When talking about Foley is Good, I couldn't stop nodding my head and have now found my own hardback to re-read again. You have done amazingly well during VEDA and I hope you don't regret doing UA-cam "full-time", I hope you enjoy every minute of it. I'm looking forward to your videos in the near future. Best wishes, Adam
You should read The Burn Journals, it's the true story of a 14 year old boy who set himself on fire as a suicide attempt but failed and the rest of the book is his recovery, both mentally and physically. I read it on a school trip and cried and made my teacher very concerned.
My fav book is A Thousand Splendid Suns, it's sooooo good and heartbreaking and beautiful and the characters are incredible and its really interesting to get an insight into life in Afghanistan
yes, on the hundred page thing! I used to have to finish everything I read, and then I realized... there are too many books I want to read to waste any of it on the bad ones. And if I read bad ones, I might miss out on good books.
I love books and Dan and Hazel and VEDA and aw man, this video was so good. My favourite books are Dracula, We Have Always Lived In The Castle, Mists of Avalon and omg Carrie Fisher's biography. Princess Diarist ruined me in the best way possible.
my favourite book is a wrinkle in time by madeline l'engle. it was one of the first books i ever read and the world and imagination it opened up for me has stuck with me for more than 20 years. it's a simple read but i love that book for reasons i can't explain.
I adore the title of this video. It shows how perfectly you just roll with the motions Dan. Looking forward to a live stream (if that's actually going to be a thing?)!
My favourite book is Frankenstein, Mary Shelly was a bad ass and make science fiction writing take off. Walk the lines is going on my long list, would be interesting to read while commuting through London! Thanks for the recommendation!
I wouldn't say I'm "proud" of Dan for making doing VEDA because I do not know him beyond a Content Creator, and I am not a UA-camr to compare the amount of work that goes into these videos to, as much as I am super happy he puts a video up everyday and I get a few minutes of absolute enjoyment. And I hate him: Not even a little bit. I am sad they are ending.
Oh, and books. lately I've been working through the Mc names of the fantasy shelves at the library or my quest for new authors and I have discovered Patricia A McKillip who is OUTSTANDING. currently reading Fiona McIntosh who is lovely as well. Also recently finished The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton and it was an immense book but the prose was so amazing it pulled me right into it and i finished it in days.
idk how people manage to do the "abandon the book if you don't like it" thing, when i start reading something i just have to finish it i've never stopped reading mid-read
You and my grandmother have that in common. One time, she was near growling, trying to get through this book. She hated it so much. As soon as she was done reading it, she threw it violently into the trash. When I pointed out we could have donated it, she said no one should have to make the same mistake as her. When I brought up recycling, she said again, no. This was such a bad experience for her that she it needed to be trashed. As someone who can definitely abandon things that upset me I found it so bizarre.
I have an eclectic collection of favourite books (not including series, like Narnia or Agatha Christie, which are two of my all time faves) -- namely My Side of the Mountain, Seven Little Australians and The Hobbit. They're the ones I've read over, and over and over, mostly for sentimental reasons. However, one of the BEST books I've ever read -- which is not the same thing as favourite -- is Catch 22. I definitely recommend it. It's one of the only books that has made me cry (like ugly sobbing)...and I have read a LOT of books. :) :) I'll have to check out your recommendations, Dan!
Leaving out Harry Potter, because as Hazel and Dan said, they are just obvious. Three fav books, City of Bones (super original, I know). Magic Under Glass by Jaclyn Dalamore. Such a beautiful book, but it didn't do well so only got two books out of the trilogy the author was intending. And Moon Over SoHo by Ben Aaronovitch, used to write for Old Who. Middle book in the series, best one so far.
Gerald Durrel "My family and other animals" had me rolling on the ground if anyone is looking for a good read. Also being spoiled by Dan with VEDA and bullied by Hazel is now my favourite thing :))
I try to make all my friends read Murder on the Orient Express, so far it hasn't gone great... I think my favourite book changes all the time, but one series I can always reread is Megan Whalen Turners Queens Thief series!
Just read 'Nod' and 'Handling the Undead' and they were both great. I'm on a bit of a sci f/ fantasy binge as I'm 50k words deep into writing my own fantasy book. The Darren Shan series is my all time favorite.
I love reading, and every Christmas I get given at least 30 new novels. It's just because I'm studying English Literature, I have to read and constantly re-read _The Great Gatsby_ (Alright, but then I'm not to keen on that time period), _The Winter's Tale_ (Alright, but not Shakespeare's greatest play, especially considering as he plagiarised it from Robert Greene), and then fucking _Wuthering Heights_ that's literally the worst novel I've ever had to try and force myself to read, and also just tons of poems. I just can't read what I want to read right no, which sucks.
Top three favourite books: 1.All Quiet on the Western Front 2. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings 3. In Order to Live Honourable mention: anything by F. Scott Fitzgerald
i just finished reading murder on the orient express for 7th grade honors english. (i live in america so idk if thats a thing in the uk) and i loved it!
I first read it one Christmas while I was home from uni. I didn't have a bath at uni, so I had two or three baths a week and it was my bathtime reading treat. LOVE IT.
I have the exact same rule of waiting 100 pages before putting the book aside if it's a bit shit. I used to feel so guilty about not finishing a book when I was younger
My favourite book is 'We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves' by Karen Joy Fowler, but I've never met anyone who has read it which breaks my bloody heart
I really enjoyed reading the time travellers wife too ! BUT WHO ACTUALLY SAYS DAD AND MUM ? It's always mum and dad, it's like brother and sister or knife and fork.. YOU CAN'T SAY IT THE OTHER WAY ROUND. 😂
I ACTUALLY SQUAKED WHEN YOU MENTIONED TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE HOLY SHIT it's my favourite book in the entire world, i love it so so so much, but i never ever see anyone talking about it aahhh oh my gooodddd and yeah the film sucks i was so mad when i saw it i cried
i agree 110% about We were liars hazel!! i had to force myself to finish it and now i hardly remember the book because it was such a nothing experience for me. i also hate the book me, earl and the dying girl with a passion.
i'm so sad hazel hates we were liars because i literally loved that book :') but oh well interresting choice of favourite books as well! haven't read any of them myself but i like the variety and walk the line sounds interesting :)
I'm a) so sad this is over tomorrow and b) really wishing I was friends with you two because I think it'd make for just a lovely afternoon just sitting around and chatting
Guilty of having Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as my favourite book. Even though I've read a shit tonne of other books in my life, I find that I keep coming back to that.
Sad VEDA is ending :( Maybe do another one soon?? VEDM? VEDJ? I'm so down. Only good thing is that I subscribed during VEDA so I have a load of old videos to binge on :)
a good book that has come out recently is The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas (I think). It is so true and honest and daring/brave. I would recommend it so much. It has a strong message with current issues in the world and how society really is for some people.
My favorite book is the Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and if you like magical realism, historical fiction, and circuses, you should give it a try. It's not a book that likes to be read quickly though, so don't go into it without wanting to settle down for a good long ponder about your life.
Have any of you read You are never weird on the internet (almost) by Felicia Day? For some reason I love autobiographies, I usually listen to the audiobooks while I'm working, so I came across hers and listened to it. I didn't recognize her from anything other than supernatural and I didn't even pay that much attention to her. However, her book was SO amazing. Absolutely hilarious! And incredibly inspirational too but like not in a cheesy way. In a look, I figured some shit out, you can do it too kinda way. I would STRONGLY recommend it to anyone. Another one I LOVED was Ed Catmull's Creativity Inc. I need more autobiographies in my life, feel free to recommend me some.
Apparently Helen Fielding based the character of Mr Darcy off Labour MP Keir Starmer and are quite good friends which is just an amazing story and also is another reason why he is a fantastic man.
WTF I LOVED WE WERE LIARS
+doddleoddle I haven't read it. Fight her.
doddleoddle SAME DODIE
doddleoddle SAME
doddleoddle ME TOO
doddleoddle YES DODIE ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS AND IVE READ IT MULTIPLE TIMES
"pregnant"
"are you?"
"no"
"good" * pats shoulder *
that made my day thank you
Hazel Stay(e)s
+Chloe Curtis Nice.
The second you started this with "here's the craic" you basically summoned the Irish person
Pretty much.
charlotte ! See a statement like that would warrant you the label "minus craic" I'm afraid...
HAHAHAHA. HARRY POTTERRRRR
side note, hazel looks so dewy and beautiful and glowy bless her being productive and talented is good for the soul
hahaa, my side note was the same. she just gets more lovely
you so should have put the word 'pregnant' in the thumbnail. that should just be a thing now; every time you make a video with Hazel you put 'pregnant' somewhere.
+Baveeta Sehjal I might change it later...
Baveeta Sehjal no, when ever you make a video with anyone just put the word pregnant in the thumbnail or somewhere in the video.
Baveeta Sehjal still hasn't changed it....
I'm so sad this is going to be over tomorrow.
also, hazel I love you. (And you Dan).
i'm leaving a comment to let you know that i'm very proud of dan and i don't hate him even a little bit
Dan is such a wise, kind, genuine soul that I've only just started watching but I know must be an amazing friend. Those who have the honor of having him as a friend, cherish him, because he's a keeper.
Congrats on the baby Dan
YESSS my favorite humans.
I have equal feelings of pride and hatred towards you, Dan
"don't bully my audience"
"they love it"
quote of the year
tomorrow's video will be dan announcing his pregnancy i'm calling it right now
VEDA has been amazing Dan! Your videos are so candid and genuinely engaging, I have enjoyed every single one.
I'm actually really proud of you Daniel. You were able to make a video every single day to entertain us (which you're doing really well👌), even on the days you didnt really have anything to post/say. Tomorrow will be kind of bittersweet, but I've really enjoyed Veda so far. Thank you. And remember, be a good egg! 🥚
i haven't read a book since summer ended so...eight months? i'm either working, studying or sleeping (or faffing about not doing my homework but also not reading). i've finally dropped calculus though, so i've picked up a book to read this morning! down with math!! sorry if you love math
toots thats alright, as a math geek, i feel like people who like math even dislike it in some way if that even makes sense
*SPOILERS FOR 'WE WERE LIARS' LOL*
Thank god for my awful memory! I've watched this video countless times. A couple weeks ago I read We Were Liars because everyone said the twist was amazing, and I thought it was great too! Sobbed my eyes out, in fact. Imagine my surprise when I click on this video and hear Hazel spoiling the shit out of it! I remember her talking about a book where it was obvious some people died, but I didn't remember the name of the book and I just never connected the dots!
1. I LOVE when you talk about books
2. Collabs are indeed better
3. I'm going to miss your VEDA
Dan, We're all very proud. Actually, I am seriously proud. Been watching for a while and I think you're great. I am very impressed with people keeping up with VEDA. I did it last year (or the year before... yeah that) and only on weekdays and it is SO hard. definitely taught me a lot though.
on a side note, HOW is sleepy jetlagged Hazel so darn GORGEOUS?
Currently reading The Handmaid's Tale, highly recommend. (Also jetlagged, 5 hour work call Hazel still looks like an absolute ANGEL)
Dan, an excellent video! You don't need Hazel (Hazel I love you!). When talking about Foley is Good, I couldn't stop nodding my head and have now found my own hardback to re-read again. You have done amazingly well during VEDA and I hope you don't regret doing UA-cam "full-time", I hope you enjoy every minute of it. I'm looking forward to your videos in the near future. Best wishes, Adam

I bloody love Hazel. also you. also the two of you together. much enjoyment!
My fav book is A Thousand Splendid Suns, it's sooooo good and heartbreaking and beautiful and the characters are incredible and its really interesting to get an insight into life in Afghanistan
I.LOVE.HAZEL.HAYES.
AND MY FAVORITE PERSON TO SEE HAZEL WITH IS DAN SO THIS IS THE BEST
I ALSO LOVE DAN FOR THE RECORD
DON'T SHOUT PLEASE I'M SENSITIVE
SORRY
im already sad veda is ending
plus books are life!
yes, on the hundred page thing! I used to have to finish everything I read, and then I realized... there are too many books I want to read to waste any of it on the bad ones. And if I read bad ones, I might miss out on good books.
I love books and Dan and Hazel and VEDA and aw man, this video was so good. My favourite books are Dracula, We Have Always Lived In The Castle, Mists of Avalon and omg Carrie Fisher's biography. Princess Diarist ruined me in the best way possible.
I'm delighted someone else has East of Eden on their list of favorite books. I recommend everyone read that book, it's just incredible.
my favourite book is a wrinkle in time by madeline l'engle. it was one of the first books i ever read and the world and imagination it opened up for me has stuck with me for more than 20 years. it's a simple read but i love that book for reasons i can't explain.
my fave book is Fifth Business by Robertson Davies. It's very strange but just so good when all the mystery unravels.
Pleaaase do a livestream for the last VEDA!!
We Were Liars was one of the best YA books I've ever read. But to each their own.
I adore the title of this video. It shows how perfectly you just roll with the motions Dan. Looking forward to a live stream (if that's actually going to be a thing?)!
I really want it to be!
My favourite book is Frankenstein, Mary Shelly was a bad ass and make science fiction writing take off.
Walk the lines is going on my long list, would be interesting to read while commuting through London! Thanks for the recommendation!
You two are like the ultimate duo I love it
I have a whole channel about books but i love it when a channel like yours does a video about books :)
Is it bad that I've been keeping track of what day it is solely by this VEDA and now won't know what day it is till someone does Vlogmas?
HazelStays .. Another great video Dan! Books are for winners.
I wouldn't say I'm "proud" of Dan for making doing VEDA because I do not know him beyond a Content Creator, and I am not a UA-camr to compare the amount of work that goes into these videos to, as much as I am super happy he puts a video up everyday and I get a few minutes of absolute enjoyment.
And I hate him: Not even a little bit.
I am sad they are ending.
The best VEDA ever!!
Oh, and books. lately I've been working through the Mc names of the fantasy shelves at the library or my quest for new authors and I have discovered Patricia A McKillip who is OUTSTANDING.
currently reading Fiona McIntosh who is lovely as well.
Also recently finished The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton and it was an immense book but the prose was so amazing it pulled me right into it and i finished it in days.

Yay! Hazel!
i'd love to see more videos about your books!
If you love that side of wrestling, have you seen The Wrestler?? it's so good and I highly recommend it, if you haven't seen it!☺️
can't believe it's nearly the end. love ya babe!
I have an eclectic collection of favourite books (not including series, like Narnia or Agatha Christie, which are two of my all time faves) -- namely My Side of the Mountain, Seven Little Australians and The Hobbit. They're the ones I've read over, and over and over, mostly for sentimental reasons.

Damn and I forgot to add the Magic Pudding! That's also such a great one.
Leaving out Harry Potter, because as Hazel and Dan said, they are just obvious. Three fav books, City of Bones (super original, I know). Magic Under Glass by Jaclyn Dalamore. Such a beautiful book, but it didn't do well so only got two books out of the trilogy the author was intending. And Moon Over SoHo by Ben Aaronovitch, used to write for Old Who. Middle book in the series, best one so far.
So proud of you Dan! I have just started to tune in lately and I thought you'd fail at Veda like everyone else but you didn't and that's great :)
Thank you for coming along =)
Just moved to London from Sydney so I took your advice and bought myself a copy of Walk the Lines (from Waterstones, obvs), keen to read it
Gerald Durrel "My family and other animals" had me rolling on the ground if anyone is looking for a good read.
Also being spoiled by Dan with VEDA and bullied by Hazel is now my favourite thing :))
THE BEST SORT OF COLLAB!!
I try to make all my friends read Murder on the Orient Express, so far it hasn't gone great... I think my favourite book changes all the time, but one series I can always reread is Megan Whalen Turners Queens Thief series!

I just can't read what I want to read right no, which sucks.
my favourite book is the night circus just so magical and amazing 👌🏻👌🏻
Top three favourite books:
1.All Quiet on the Western Front
2. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
3. In Order to Live
Honourable mention: anything by F. Scott Fitzgerald
I'm waiting for VEDA 30, and I don't want it to be over.
i just finished reading murder on the orient express for 7th grade honors english. (i live in america so idk if thats a thing in the uk) and i loved it!
Hazel's right. We love it.
Or at least some of do.
I love Dan's hair
We don't hate you Hazel!!!! P.S. My favorite book is Harry Potter. I do also quite like 1984 by George Orwell
Murder on the Orient Express!!! I'm so happy whenever someone mentions Agatha Christie :)
I first read it one Christmas while I was home from uni. I didn't have a bath at uni, so I had two or three baths a week and it was my bathtime reading treat. LOVE IT.
Ahh I'm so happy you replied! And yes, it's definitely a treat to read - goes perfectly with hot chocolate and a cozy blanket for me :)
I have the exact same rule of waiting 100 pages before putting the book aside if it's a bit shit. I used to feel so guilty about not finishing a book when I was younger
Honestly we were liars is a banger
A British person used the word craic?? Did you get it from Hazel??
Lola Coady it's fairly common in Cumbria/Newcastle 😊
Micha Stuart Oh that's good to know! As a dubliner I use it every conversation. I didn't think British people used it
My favourite book is 'We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves' by Karen Joy Fowler, but I've never met anyone who has read it which breaks my bloody heart
We were very behind that at Waterstones. Great book!
I really enjoyed reading the time travellers wife too !
BUT WHO ACTUALLY SAYS DAD AND MUM ? It's always mum and dad, it's like brother and sister or knife and fork.. YOU CAN'T SAY IT THE OTHER WAY ROUND. 😂
+Rosie Rosado My dad does so THERE
I ACTUALLY SQUAKED WHEN YOU MENTIONED TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE HOLY SHIT
it's my favourite book in the entire world, i love it so so so much, but i never ever see anyone talking about it aahhh oh my gooodddd
and yeah the film sucks i was so mad when i saw it i cried
I hate dan 0, because this is the best VEDA I've ever seen, you rock dude
my favourite book is the never ending story. you should definitely read it, it's sooo good
i agree 110% about We were liars hazel!! i had to force myself to finish it and now i hardly remember the book because it was such a nothing experience for me. i also hate the book me, earl and the dying girl with a passion.
i'm so sad hazel hates we were liars because i literally loved that book :') but oh well
interresting choice of favourite books as well! haven't read any of them myself but i like the variety and walk the line sounds interesting :)
...we were liars is actually my favorite book... but i still love hazel lol
I'm a) so sad this is over tomorrow and b) really wishing I was friends with you two because I think it'd make for just a lovely afternoon just sitting around and chatting
'don't bully my channel'
..
'they love it'
my favourite book is "i'll give you the sun" by jandy nelson. it's a beautiful book!
Dan i think you should read "The knife of never letting go" it's really good kinda weird and it made me cry
Love you guy's!!!!♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Guilty of having Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as my favourite book. Even though I've read a shit tonne of other books in my life, I find that I keep coming back to that.
dan, first I found out you like chess and now murder on the orient express. you really are a complete BABE ! pls continue being you xo
HAZEL I LOVE YOU
I love jetlagged Hazel, she's so hyper lol
I don't want VEDA to end!
Sad VEDA is ending :( Maybe do another one soon?? VEDM? VEDJ? I'm so down. Only good thing is that I subscribed during VEDA so I have a load of old videos to binge on :)
Read One Hundred Years of Solitude! It's my favourite book ever ever ever!
Whaaaat I loved We Were Liars (also I didn't find the "big reveal" that predictable, but maybe I'm just not that perceptive lol)
a good book that has come out recently is The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas (I think). It is so true and honest and daring/brave. I would recommend it so much. It has a strong message with current issues in the world and how society really is for some people.
I don't fully agree with the 100 pages in thing because some books don't make sense until the end when everything pulls together
I've watched the ending of this video at least 5 times- sad this is ending tomorrow!
THE TIME TRAVELLERS WIFE IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BOOKS EVER WRITTEN! I would definitely recommend :))))
My favorite book is the Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and if you like magical realism, historical fiction, and circuses, you should give it a try. It's not a book that likes to be read quickly though, so don't go into it without wanting to settle down for a good long ponder about your life.
I love Dan!
if u ever change the music from the end screen im going to be so mad, i love that bit
Have any of you read You are never weird on the internet (almost) by Felicia Day? For some reason I love autobiographies, I usually listen to the audiobooks while I'm working, so I came across hers and listened to it. I didn't recognize her from anything other than supernatural and I didn't even pay that much attention to her. However, her book was SO amazing. Absolutely hilarious! And incredibly inspirational too but like not in a cheesy way. In a look, I figured some shit out, you can do it too kinda way. I would STRONGLY recommend it to anyone. Another one I LOVED was Ed Catmull's Creativity Inc. I need more autobiographies in my life, feel free to recommend me some.
In one person by John Irving is really good.
Oh my god i love the time travelers wife
Apparently Helen Fielding based the character of Mr Darcy off Labour MP Keir Starmer and are quite good friends which is just an amazing story and also is another reason why he is a fantastic man.
