OKAY HAIRCUT!
I’m warming up to it haha
Ok, you know what: We need to Gavin making a video on Mixology where he mixes drinks according to a book chosen randomly.
This is a great concept! It would be cool to do a mix of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages (especially depending on season and since he drinks a ton of different beverages in vlogs) so that people could pick and choose pairings to mimic.
I GOT PAST THE FAILING GRADE YES! Oh god I was stressed lmao!
lmaoooo i was WORRIED how you'd feel about It Happened One Summer... i'm not disappointed ;)
Chandler yes!
For your bookshelf problem: the Billy book cases can be extended by another shelf on top, you seem to have high ceilings so that might be an option if you run into space problems again.
38:46 - I need everyone to pay special attention to this part🥺💕My heart just can't take it. There's just nothing better in the world than cozy cats 🥺
Watching you read Bunny is my favorite content of the year. What an absolutely WILD book!
the princess diaries singing in the beginning + a new video from Gavin = giving me absolute life after a rough week and it makes me so happy 🥲🥲
Sending love 💕
I was one of(?) the people who said the Midnight Library really helped them through the grieving process: I definitely agree with your thoughts on the characters and spoon-feedy feelings it sometimes delivers, as it isn't the best book I've ever read or a literary masterpiece, but as a story it's definitely an important one and I'm glad you enjoyed it. When you're in the midst of a major upset in your life/a tremendous amount of grief, it often feels easier to swim down than keep fighting upward. Following a character who is exploring the alternate routes of her life and *spoiler* finding that things only improve through your own definition of happiness/that life has endless potential, really helped at some of the darkest times.
Anyways, I love your reviews and I appreciate you doing what you do. It brings a lot of people joy. 💛
So happy you liked Circe! Madeline Miller is just really good at being respectful and showing her love for Greek culture on every page 💙
I absolutely *hated* the Midnight Library with a passion. I don't think I've ever been so disappointed by a book before 🤕
On the other hand, I thought I'd hate Bunny (I didn't even bother to buy a copy), but I freaking *loved* it! Book taste is weird lol
Thanks for the extra long video ♡
Same, one of the worst books I have ever read. Whenever I think about it it makes me furious
I hated it too. Frustrating
Absolutely agree on the Midnight Library. It had a great premise, but the book itself read like something written by a 13 year old who's had one course of psychology and tried to write something "deep", but of course it ends up being the most shallow, predictable, pretentious, and preachy story imaginable.
However, the poor writing in Midnight Library should give hope to all amateur writers out there.
Okay but I read Bunny like a month and a half ago and how you were trying to describe your thoughts has LITERALLY been me 😂 what a wild, wild book. But amazing.
I loved the midnight library but I feel like you’ve got to be in a certain mood for it. When I read it I was really struggling with regrets and I went into the book blind. Lo and behold the book is completely about regrets lol so it was perfect for me then
oh my god??? Warren U... I was today years old when I realized warrens are interconnecting rabbit burrows. GENIUS.
I hope you make more of these. Love these 💗
I absolutely adore your bedroom set up, that is so cozy! 🥰
I love how you have set up everything in your room!!😊
I loved this! ❤️ And your haircut looks ✨fantastic✨
Haha this series kind of cracks me up. I kind of hope someday you find one of their books you hate just for the chaos 😂
I love this series so much i can't wait for the next episode
I’m really enjoying this series of videos, such a good idea.
I love your new library set up!
Oh the boys have gotten so big! I love how much they love each other.
I love your bookshelves! The leaves and the lights look awesome!
Gav literally healing my depression one upload at a time 🙌😂❤
Glad to be of use ❤️
random rec: But you should definitely check out A Man and his Cat, which is a SUPREMELY wholesome manga about a man buying a cat later in his life and their life together. (as the title implies T_T) But it's incredibly wholesome and lovely. And every chapter made me feel warm and comforted but it was also funny.
Your room is fascinatingly perfect for the way you have all those bookshelves in there. I'm so impressed!
I love this video series, it's so fun to watch!
Your Shelf Setup is just too cool! I love how it’s organised.
Love this series, Gavin!
And I cannot handle all of the kitten cuteness! My heart! 😻😻
And your library is so nice! Looks more like a bookstore. 😱🖤
I’ll be reading Bunny too! I’m excited to read it! It’s been on my TBR for awhile. Heard great things about it.
I love when you mention which shows you’re watching because i like the same ones
Great vlog. Happy your friends have not steered you wrong in this series so far. Circe is the only one of these that I have read myself. I am so glad you liked it so much. I loved it. I have not read Song of Achilles yet. Ash and Nobu are extremely cute and they are growing fast.
Looking fresh!🔥 so happy you liked bunny it’s definitely a unique book ha
I always love the stakes of this series!
Saw this upload and clicked so fast, I love you Gavin! Your content gives me lifeee💚
Hope you enjoy 🥰
I’m so happy you enjoyed Bunny! It’s my favourite book of all time, I’ve read it three times and at this point it’s like a tradition for me to read it around easter time. I love Mona Awad so much but Bunny is my favourite from here by far. My favourite character is probably Jonah, I didn’t really paid attention to him the first time but now he’s like my fave now. I like your theory about Bunnies being one person because it kind of makes sense, they aren’t really distinguishable from one another compared to Jonah, Ava or even Ursula. One of the things I love about this story is that there’s so many theories and possible explainations that you can really have so many iterpretations of it. For me, I really loved how Mona portrayed loneliness and outsiderness, and the dynamics between outsiders and „cool kids” were immaculate. Also she has the best writing style ever so. Okay I’ll shut up now. I love this book
So glad this is someone elses favourite book i am also reading it regular for tradition!! Currently trying to get the US hardback i feel like the cover fits the vibes and characters better than the UK version i have. Ive personally not looked up any theories or anything i dont want to read the book next time and only see that opinion i love everytime i read it I come up with a new theory of my own. For me its between Ava and Jonah as favs.
Each one's a jewel, with a singular shine, a work of art with its own rare design
I see you're a man of great culture 🥳
Omg Gav love the bookshelves and how they look -- plus the ivy and fairy lights are AMAZING
Loved It Happened One Summer, The midnight library was…fine & I’m so excited to read Bunny and Circe. Planning on reading those in September/October. :) loved this vlog & so happy you enjoyed your reading!
So happy to see the cool library near you again! All books neatly stacked and lovely covers. Noice.
Omg I'm so excited to know you'll be doing a reading all 51 original Fear Street books vlog next year! Your book shelves look amazing, very cosy and comfy space 🥰! I much prefer a slow-burn over an instaromance too. Loving seeing Ash and Tobu! I loved The Midnight Library (but multiverse things and also time travel and stuff like that, I love that haha). I have Circe on my general TBR. I do know some things about Greek mythology so I look forward to see how I'll get on with it when I read it!
The Midnight Library is one I was intrigued by but by title now that I have a more comprehensive understanding of it I'll likely pick it up. Also, your cats are too adorable! 🤩
I wanted the ‘Gossip Girl’ books as a child and I couldn’t get it. Happy to see you getting the collection. And yes, we want you to get the ‘Psycho Killer’ book.
Ohhh I’ve been waiting for this! Especially excited for the Bunny and Circe reviews 😍
I hope you end up reading them 😊
Looking good! Nice clean cut
It is quite interesting to hear your take with It Happened One Summer. Most other book tubers I've watched don't care for this book as a whole. Now I'm wanting to borrow it from my library to see if I'd like it or not.
Lol thr price is right “come on down” montage! 🤣🤣 and yeah all of these books are on my TBR list
OMG, I cannot wait for your Fear Street video 😍 Pretty much all I read as a preteen were Fear Street and Point Horror books!
congrats on 40k 💖💖
Saaame with the epilogues!! I usually really hate them in romance books especially! But I still always read them because I can't leave them unfinished 😅
Your kitties have grown so much!
Enjoyed hanging out with you and hearing your thoughts. I was not a fan of Midnight Library or Circe.
Love your bedroom library organisation and all the plans you have. But where is your wardrobe?!
I love your shelves😍 with the lights and the leaves❤️ also really want to read all the books you read in this vlog. Also really curious about your cosy mystery story.👀
After you noted the hotness of the description of his fingers I knew I had to read It Happened One Summer and oh boy. A very fun time!!
You look great Gav, loving the new haircut!
Also, love your lounge room, looks amazing!
Love how your library / bedroom looks with the new shelf, however I can’t help but wonder where your clothes are stored?
If anyone wants to know, ‘Twee’ means excessively or affectedly quaint, pretty or sentimental. (Oxford Dictionary)
Literally 10 seconds in and I’m in love with Gavin over that ‘Crowning Glory’ reference. That hit right in the FEELZ.
It’s the song of the moment
Ooh I just saw Saga on your graphic novel shelf! Hello fellow Saga fan
Jealous of your charmed collection!! I watched that show obsessively growing up but I only have about half of the books.
Love the haircut 💙
I have it happened one summer on my shelf as I got it in the works for really cheap so I'm glad to know it is really good fun which is exactly what I wanted from it! I have the midnight library but opinions have me questioning... I'm currently reading how to stop time by matt haig though which is going well so far. I love Circe so much
Yaaayyy for Only Murders! 🥳🥳🥳 Hey, I was in those reading sprints! 😊💖✨ Everything looks so nice! Omygosh! I can’t wait to see you read all the Fear Street books! Your rooms looks so nice! 😍😍😍 I actually am from a town called Warren. And we have the Warren Public Library there. 🥰🥰🥰 This was fun! I need to catch up with the other episodes! Watching your sleeper train video now. Love you! 🥰🥰🥰 Happy Reading! 🤓📚✨
"Honestly, this is so ridiculous"
That's what makes it the most fun version of 'Reading [Channel Name]'s Favourite Books! I'm personally very happy to see it be uploaded earlier than it was planned :))
✨ Video Idea ✨
“Friendly Extremes”
Read one of the best and one of the worst books from each friend.
Then like a play on words, it helps you find your bookish best friend (jokingly ofc). As in bffs if you hate the same ones they hate, and love the same ones they love.
Your kitties are so adorable. 😻💖
Gavin really said: “These are the Chosen Ones.”
Loving the video Gavin just had to comment at the cute moment of the kitten next to your laptop covering their face with the 🐾.
I recently read The Midnight Library I was unsure if I really enjoyed it pleased I have read it . I think you reviewed it really well in explaining it because I was confused on my feelings. I liked the book would recommend it to others .
Your bookshelves are the prettiest I've ever seen😍 I would pay money to come visit :D And the singing, princess diaires forever🥰 I like your leaderboard, it would be cool to see a version though where it includes which book was which friend, especially from the other episodes🙃
I loved Circe. I have always felt a bit undereducated about Greek mythology, and reading about it in this format really brings it to life. If you want a fun way to learn more about it I would recommend the audiobook of Stephen Fry’s Mythos. He reads it in his inimitable style, and it’s like the gossip mag version of Greek mythology. Really good.
So excited for your fear street vlog next year gavin. Do you think you'd ever read the point horror books?
I had no clue that rabbits' burrow is called a warren!
Kya~ I'm excited because I have read 3 of the 4. I read It Happened One Summer because of Chandler too. I liked it and feel the same as you about it. When I first read The Midnight Library I read it so fast and enjoyed it but the further I got from it the less I like it. I liked the idea of the library because it reminded me of a short story I read as a kid that was waaaaay less heavy handed (I wish I could remember the name of it, It involved a garden where you chose the future/flower you want but they all have a "price") I feel like I was manipulated and it leaves an icky feeling now. I can appreciate the writing skill behind that manipulation but meh. Circe is so beautifully written and I'm a freaking sucker for all mythology but I loved, nay *adore* Song of Achilles so much more. I better read Bunny now! Thank you Gavin for the video
The sequel of it happened one summer has an epilogue you’ll hate 🤣 fab video as always!
Wow - how big your room is to be able to fit all those shelves and you still have space to move around!!! The kitties are getting so big 😺 Excited to read your book when completed. ❤ only murders in the building. Book suggestion - Boyfriend Material, I enjoyed it sooo much. Interested in what you think.
Always love these videos! Based on what you liked about Circe, I would HIGHLY recommend The Witch's Heart by Genevieve Gornichec. Similarly, I think the author does a great job of making things easy to follow whether you have knowledge of Norse Mythology or not. I will say the plot is similar in terms of not be super heavy, but still a very intriguing story line. The character is also made very relatable and you really sympathize with her story. The story is quite different, of course, but a lot of similar vibes and it's really fantastic.
I loved The Witch’s Heart!
@@desireemclaughlin1455 It's so, so good
I love your haircut❣️
Thank you 🥰
i read Bunny last year and it still one of the weirdest books and endings i've ever read. and i still don't know what to make of it really. 🤣 again a great episode.
I came here after watching bowties and books video of you and damn...the rabbit hole I am currently in
I am so glad you didn't have to unfollow Lexi! Thanks for the vlog.
Maybe the island can be a headboard?
I really like this series ^_____^
I have to get to Bunny (it was a gift from Colleen, one of your patreons to me), I've read and enjoyed (not loved but it was good) Midnight Library, and LOVED Circe. So, just really enjoying this overall series, but especially this video!
Great vlog! 🙂
And no totally not boring
Love the new outro!
Hope you will choose Sandra from gotathingforthings as well
Not the price is right intro 😂😂😂
Loved looking round your library/bedroom but I can't be the only one who wonders where you store your clothes.
Haha my wardrobe and drawers are in the spare room, I’m using it as my sort of dressing room 😂
Clearly I need to watch more of your videos.. how did I never realize before now that your bedroom and your library are the same room?!!
You made me look up where I heard "some girls are fair" and oh ofcourse it was the princess diaries 2 haha
Hi, i’m a new follower. I just wanted to say i love your voice and how cozy your videos feel. Also love the editing and the thumbnail is beautiful. Have a nice weekend. Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Also i appreciate that the UA-cam ads came at a logic moment between each new book. 😌
Omg please try the box card children series! Or the kingdom
Keeper series!!!
thanks for this video, I really like to read :)
Never forget the Magnum Opus that was the Animorphs Video.
Gavin: “Why there are so many bullies as well?”
Me, an Intellectual: (confused laughter) “So…funny story…”
(Not to say I wasn’t part of the problem)
I ve only read the midnight library and I felt the same as you some of the lives really interested me and others I was just come on leave and go to a different life. I did at times feel like I was being told how to feel and I did guess how it was all going to end
Yet I really like this book.
Im reading Bunny atm, one of your theories is what im also thinking 🤔 i want to reread Circe to see if i prefer it the second time
Gav’s shelves are perfection 🤩
I reacted the exact same way to Bunny, “well written but also wtf did I just read” 😄 I implore everyone who reads Bunny to listen to Alexandra Roselyn’s interpretation of it, I truly think she so intelligently nailed the meaning on the head 🙌
I can't believe I gave Bunny my whole attention when I read it and never connected the Warren Uni thing to being a bunny warren! 🤦♀
I can't believe how big the cats are getting! I had a feeling you'd like It Happened One Summer. I'd be curious to see what you think about the sequel though!
You saw the ‘PLL’ Reboot so of course we need a video on it. Also, Mike’s Mic was sponsored by HBOMax, which was iconic.
I loved Mike’s Mic’s video on Original Sin, it was amazing
Hi Gavin, where did you get your Heartstopper blue jumper from? I love it.
