#GossipGirl
Thank you SO much for watching my little video on the Gossip Girl book series! It would mean the world if you could like the video, leave a comment, subscribe and share with your friends 🥰 What was your favourite moment from the book series? Who is your favourite character? And most of all, did any of this sh*t happen in the TV show? I'd love for you to tell me all the differences and similarities. You know you love me! XOXO Gossip Gav 💋
Already subscribed....video liked. Keep up the great content, Gav
@@carrieorsel1340 Thanks so much Carrie!!
JUST STARTED WATCHING! So exciteddddd!! ❤❤
@@eviechatsandchapters ahh thanks Evie!!
Did I ever watched this show? No. Have I read the books? Also no. Will I ever watch it or read it? No. Am I watching the whole 4 hours of this masterpiece? Yes, yes I am.
It’s what I’m here for, allow me to read it all so you don’t have to 😉
Same. I very much enjoy letting Gavin do all the hard work, no need to read all the crappy books. Gavin, thank you for your service 😆
Same!!!
Same here!
Same!
wait the fact that the original author wrote a slasher version of the first gossip girl book is actually so fucking iconic wtf
"I've never stolen anything in my life, apart from a few things." that probably made me laugh way more than it should've lmao
I feel like Nate could use this line. “I’ve never cheated on my life, apart from a few times” 😭
the fact i fell asleep during book 5, woke up during book 11 and the story was still THE SAME
Can confirm Chuck did not have an actual monkey in the TV show but he did acquire a dog called Monkey in season 5 after he literally becomes numb to all physical pain after Blair agrees to marry Louis (the prince of Monaco). It's very dumb and I've just realised that I'm full of unnecessary GG TV show trivia 😅
Idk why that smal tidbit made me so happy when he got the dog and named it that. Basically nothing is like the books but i thought that was so cute for them to add it in
“Spotted: G tearing out his hair while reading books for his new project. If he was tearing library books instead, there’d be hell to pay.”
Omg love that 😂
An hour in and I’m audibly laughing at Dan’s poem’s he’s really just saying anything
when i first read the books in middle school i thought the poems were sooooo good 😭🫡
I don't *get* poetry, but even I was like, Oh, babe, no
Gavin as Gossip Girl is a better explanation than the one the tv show gave
My biggest secret exposed xoxo
Ikr😭😭😂
The fact that everybody I follow now references Mike’s mic is making me feel like I’ve truly found my people.
Oh hello friend. My dear found sibling in this world 🤗
Heyyyyyyyy ❤ we are now contractually and factually family ❤
I vote we give Gav a full series vlog where he actually enjoys all of the books and doesn't just get angry at the characters or hate most of them
Haha where’s the fun in that 😂
It already exists in the form of One Piece 😉
you reading Gossip Girl in front of Shakespeare and Company is ART! I need it framed!
I need one of those street painters to paint it, I’ll be in touch 😂
I have only watched one minute of this and I already know it's iconic
Xoxo 😘
Dans poetry honestly had me in stitches 😂 We love a creative… 😬
The Intro Sequence is ICONIC as per usual. Also, the sheer effort and mastering of the editing. Just wow.
Oh you 🥰
i'm on Chapter 3 of the video and my jaw dropped at Vanessa's reaction to the poem! GOOD LORD
WHAT WAS SHE ON???!!!!
I read these as they came out when I was 13-18. I loved them. I loved the kind of ironic humour and the use of GG as a narrator who disliked the characters. I thought it was clever that B and S were fighting over N who was clearly a complete loser. I also thought it was clever that the "anti-N", D, was more like N than not, and also a complete loser. I didn't date in secondary school and I think it's partly because of these books.
And the best part? In the last book at the very end, B & S are single, and go off together into the sunset to travel the world without a man. Amazing.
Over 4 hours of gavin being the iconic legend that he is? Oh yes please 🥰
Oh youuuu ❤
I can’t believe Chuck’s pet monkey was Gossip Girl all along.
Anyway, this was a great video and I’m super glad the algorithm decided to show it to me! Can’t wait to watch the one on pretty little liars. ❤
I remember having the first book on audio when I was like 12 because I had an iTunes gift card and my dad just assumed by the title it was a preteen book….I’m still haunted by the “parted my Red Sea” part lmaoo
i read the first 7 books when i was in middle school and this video made me realize that dan's horrid poems were stored somewhere deep in my memory
I read all the books in my early teens, probably around 13-16 years old. I had no memory of how I felt about them. However, I love the show. I've rewatched it several times and it's totally iconic. I was so shocked watching this to learn about how bad the books were. Since you survived all the books, you should watch the show! After this, I'd love to see you talk about It Girl with Jenny.
Oh my gosh Gavin!!!! The amount of time that went into this video not just with reading the books but the editing!!! The voiceovers!! Wow I am blown away, you’re an icon!! 😍🤩 no one is doing it on booktube like you are Gavin!!! You go above and beyond and I admire you so much for it 🙌
These books read like wattpad novels 😭
'Apple-white arms' is the only truly lovely and poetic phrase Dan ever managed to write that we learn of. Source: I have actually written prize-winning poetry before.
There would have been 90% less drama if Blair, Serena, and Nate became a throuple.
Haha so true 😂
So in the show Chuck gets a dog in the beginning of season 5 who randomly disappears again when he's not convenient for the plot anymore and the dog's name is, get this, Monkey. The writers really thought they did something 😂
It’s interesting how many side characters show up in the show but have so little to do with any of the book plotlines lol. Like the show writers really skimmed through the books and went “Damian, that’s a good name, let’s do something with that.”
Omg I'm so glad I found your channel! Can't wait to watch ur TVD and PLL videos after this cause I always struggled to get through all these shows books
Got the heated blanket on, a flask of hot chocolate and a whole load of snacks to keep me company for this one - only a few minutes in but already know this is going to be a fun ride! Can’t beat a mega Gav video - thank you!
Ahhh thanks so much, and you sound so cosy right now!! Love it ❤️
the biggest jaw dropping moment was how Jenny said she wouldn't get breast reduction surgery "because they were part of who she is" and then you find out in the prequel she was only well endowed because she took estrogen pills
This was a WILD ride, worth every minute! I can only hope now that someone publishes Dan’s poems so that we can roast them properly! 😂. Insane the amount of work you did! What an inspiration!
And I didn’t even include all of Dan’s poems either haha it would be enough to fill a full book, I’m sure 😂
FOUR HOURS?? Legend .😭 Can’t wait to watch this after the day’s over and have all the stress be whisked away!!
Also remember when you said in your live that none of the OP viewers would want to watch this? You were wrong because I love books AND One Piece. And nothing will keep me away from nostalgic series reviews. 😈
Ahhh thanks so much!!! And I do hope you enjoy haha
“I’ve never stolen anything in my life…. Except a few things” lmaaooo 💀
I used to read this book series as a teen and watch the show. I loved it all so much I even did a presentation about the books in eighth grade. My friends even made my graduation year book entry look like the gossip girl website 😅
I am obsessed with that though!! A graduation book in the style of gossip girl?? Amazing!
This sounds like the kind of storyline my friends and I came up with playing with Barbies as kids. Amazing that this is a published series and TV show. I thought that Dan was going to be the biggest cheater, he seems to give the vibe that he would go wherever his "heart" led and feel justified doing so, and doesn't seem like that impression is wrong even if Nate turned out to be the worst 😅
I prefered Nate when his story lines were just nonsensical or boring, not this toxic lol Great video!
It’s taken me 5 days to get through this video and know that I deeply appreciated your suffering for our entertainment 😂
I hated the way Jenny was described. I had large breasts too as a young teen and it made me so embarrassed because it basically let me know that yes, everyone notices them first.
This was amazing!!! Watching this makes me incredibly grateful I never ended up reading this series back in the day when I originally wanted to but also I’m super grateful to now know everything that happened in it!
GAVIN. THIS IS A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE. I think you would really like reading The Clique novels by Lisi Harrison. Private school girls in Westchester, New York, popularity contests, fashion, boys, mean girls, etc. There’s also a movie directed by the one and only Tyra Banks. Idk why I’ve never thought to suggest them before but I think they’d be right up your street! AMAZED by the dedication you have to consuming this media for us. ♥️ Can’t wait for the next one!
seconding! it's sooo fun and cheesy, and the main character is even a fan of gossip girl! there's even a in-universe glossip girl lip gloss line
I agree, the Clique was my favourite series growing up!! Very fun
i have fallen asleep to this every single night since it came out and every single morning i have had to go back and rewatch the last section where i fell asleep cos *aerosmith voice* i don't wanna miss a thinggggg
superb video. you have such a calm and cosy vibe, it's really relaxing. but as a show watcher who suffered through the finale in real time i CANNOT BELIEVE the gossip girl book reveal. the CHEEK. makes me so glad i never read past the first book, but your sacrifice is appreciated!
These series vlogs are my favorite thing ever. The WORK you put into these is so impressive.
Totally obsessed with this series 😍 can’t wait to see which books you will choose next ♥️♥️♥️
I’ll be watching this in chunks over the next week as I exercise! I love long videos like this and your one piece arcs!
I could literally sit and listen to you bash Dans poetry for FIVE hours straight, no complaints.
You are incredible Gavin! This is a masterpiece! I've never read the books or watched the show, but I watched the entire video and had so much fun. Thanks for doing this!
OH GOSH I WOULD NEVER WISH THIS SERIES UPON ANYONE. But thank you for such an entertaining trip down memory lane. I’m glad you called attention to all the problematic things in here. I read these as a teenager when I was less discerning about problematic topics, but even back then these books were SO egregious that I noticed.
Also, I’m sure you get this all the time, but do you mind letting me know what those rainbow books on your right are? They’re GORGEOUS. I just found your channel btw, can’t wait to binge the rest of your series videos
this video and Mike's Mic's recap of the gossip girl tv show are giving me more info on this series than i ever thought id have
Between you and Mikes Mic now I got a rundown for both the series and the books, thanks!
Commenting before watching the whole thing to let you know that you're a trooper for getting through this vlog! Thank you for always putting so much energy into your content, it really shows and all your videos are so entertaining ✨️💛
Aw thanks so much, that means a lot!
Wow! I wasn’t expecting to watch this all in one day, but this was highly entertaining! Great job Gavin!
So happy to see the return of the Magnum Opus. Also, ‘Gossip Girl’ is the easiest to adapt to horror lmao
This was iconic, and absolutely fascinating! Great work, Gossip Gav!
You're so committed when it comes to these videos. Great job
The absolute effort and dedication this video has. I'm so impressed and I love videos like this! Keep going! You're doing great!
YAY YOU FINISHED!!! ❤ Can’t wait to watch this all the way through!!
Eek thank you!! ❤
I adore these full series summary videos, the longer the better. Thank you so much 😄
Yay thanks so much 🥰
Great vid! 😇 it's funny how Nate was my favourite in the tv show but not the books, so glad they changed him for the show 💜
I’ve never seen this show but I watched every single second of this video over 3 days and had the time of my life. You are a true master of the craft
soooo much work went into this video, I am looking forward to watching it bit by bit this upcoming week💕. Thank you gavin!!!
Ahhh thanks so much, I hope you enjoy ❤️
I am so glad someone, anyone on BookTube remembered these exist! I ate them up so back in high school, so much so I read 13/14 of them (minus the spin-off) back-to-back in less than a month. Obsessed? Definitely. And now Gavin will explain it all in an appropriately lengthy discussion? Perfection. I am truly thankful for your dedication to educate the masses of the humble beginnings of GG!!!
IM SO GLAD THIS VIDEO WAS SUGGESTED TO ME LOLLLLL im LOSING it. youre amazing
i love these kinds of long videos AND its a topic that im interested in... idk if you a blessing in disguise but just know that i love this so much thank you
I have been dying to get my hands on these books for a while but for some reason, they're so hard for me to find. I love the UA-cam algorithm because it lead me right to you. I subscribed as soon as you poured the wine in your glass.
It really brightened my day to come home from a tiring shift at work to find a nice long video waiting for me! I've never watched the show or read the books, so I'm excited to see what it's all about!
Aw sorry to hear you had a tiring shift but hope I can keep you company while you put your feet up and relax
The dedication! I’m so impressed by you and this video and it inspires me so much to up my own content! I hope you get some proper rest after all the work you put into this video 🌸✨
The use of the sound board is everything to me
I've always loved Serena. I think her character (in both the books and the show--season 1) was the more satisfying of them all. I love the whole beauty queen in tears thing she's got going on. I think her selflessness in regards to Blair and Nate is the root of all her issues? Like if she had a backbone and really stood up for her and Nate, Blair would have just...moved on. Heartbroken sure, but she's got more direction and self esteem than Serena ever had lmao.
Selflessness? She had sex with her best friend’s boyfriend
@@some5794 initial selflessness. and tbh throughout. Nate and Serena were a THING before he and Blair even got together. But instead of being real with Blair about that, she left so Blair and Nate could be together. Pretty selfless no? Except her martyrdom is so misguided and far from what she wants, that it just becomes this toxic pattern:
Serena wants Nate 😍, but so does Blair 😰, and Serena just wants Blair to be happy 🥺so, jk! Blair can have Nate 😌. But sike! Serena actually can't deny her love anymore so she indulges in the forbidden 🤫🤭. Rinse repeat 😂
@@itstheverve there's a case to say S & B were in love, but it was the 90s/2000s when that wasn't allowed, so there had to be Male Love Interests By Proxy
i'm so glad this video showed up in my recommended. as a connoisseur of video essays and books, i think your channel was made for me
Yessss Gavin!! So excited to watch this before bed tonight 😃🥳 Just what I needed
Yay thanks for making me your bedtime entertainment 🙌🏼
So excited for another long video! You as Blair is a serve
Even the real Blair couldn’t 💅🏼
I love the show and the books! This is perfection!
I love these long themed videos you do! They always cheer me up! 😂 We do really appreciate the effort and hours you put into these! 😊
Aw thanks so much, so glad you enjoy my movies haha and taking the time to watch them 🥰
This intro and the graphics you’ve created are EVERYTHING. I’m so excited to watch this entire thing throughout my day off today. Your hard work is UNMATCHED💓
I’m watching this over the course of the day as my reading breaks and it’s been absolutely brilliant. I love this💅🏼
Oh this is 4 hours so well spent 😂😂🤣🙌
Highest praise for Gav for actually reading this whole series & blessing us with this epically entertaining play by play review 👑🙌
Honestly Gav you’re the best at these whole series vlogs 😊
I have never seen Gossip Girl and I will never read these books, but I was here for this whole vlog😂. This was amazing, keep up this amazing entertainment ❤
Those book covers are such a throwback!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
I really enjoyed this video so much!
I never watched this show but I enjoyed watching your run down on these books. So funny! 😂
You're out here doing the lords work! 😂 This entire series may as well have just been the first book it retread so many plotlines!
nate & dan being playboys in the books is so crazy
Chuck was actually the tamest which is honestly shocking
i watched all the instagram stories about how you made this video what a journey! i cant wait to watch this!
It indeed was a journey, thank you so much for joining me for it ❤️
I’m an avid lover of the CW show and man am I glad I found this video. Love your energy and I’ll be finding more to watch at work lol thank you for your work!
Love the opening! Great job! Congrats on finishing the reads & edit! I'll be watching this throughout the day when I can. So, you might see more comments later:)
Aw thanks so much!!
22 mins in and I’ve already laughed so much 😂 so glad you filmed this ♥️
So glad you’re watching, thanks so much!
YOU ARE AN ICON
Leaving a comment to say I already love the idea, the hard work and the fun you have with the book series as I dip in and out of this over the next days
Thanks so much Melissa, I hope you have a blast watching!
Hi!! This is my first video of yours and I’m so excited!!! I’ve never read or watched gossip girl but I’m a big pretty little liars book fan and I feel it has a similar vibe, albeit it’s probably not as good as pll.
I love love love your xoxo in the beginning it was perfection 🤩
Me before watching: four hours? Kinda long.
Me after *just* the intro: four hours will not be long enough
The dedication 😍I love all of your videos. You are by far the funniest UA-camr I've encountered!
Ay thanks so much! 😄
Ever since the reboot got cancelled, i got this sudden urge to read the books. However i wanted to hear it on audiobook on here (UA-cam) and even after all these years, there wasn't a complete book (and if there was, it was in a different language). So thank you for reading ALL of the books and 48hrs in making this 😂😂 i can't believe it carried for so long 😂 but honestly, thanks for saving me the headache bc that was frustrating!
I'm glad that know one stayed together and that Chuck developed into a great person. Like i wonder why out of all the characters, Chuck was the one to evolve. But yeah, Nate has definitely came my lastest favorite. He gave me the most headache.
I remember reading the first book, but all i remember was Jenny smoking pot with Nate and trying to look cool and like she knew what she was doing smoking 😅 Anyways thanks again this was amazing!
I didn't know that a 4 hour recap of the gossip girl book series that I read at age 15 is what I needed, but I am absolutely here for it.
i love your long reading vlogs!!! if you ever need a new series i would rec the ice planet barbarians series. like 40 books if you include the spinoff (which you should they are good) but all pretty short and fluffy and fun (and spicy lol) it would be fun to see what you thought of them!!
I've sat and watched this entire video in one sitting. Thank you again. I would never want to read this series now though I'd always had it in the back of my mind that I wanted to read these books but you've killed that urge for me. You murdered that for me...... thank you haha
4+ hours of Gossip Girl and Gavin? I love these types of videos ♥
Hope you enjoy!
just watched this for my entire second work shift and had a splendid time! xoxo
