I really enjoyed Les Mis, however, it was helpful to read it with a readalong. :D

I love the shelves so cosy

I thought we sold our souls was super boring - good luck 😂

In my humble opinion, Les Miserables is absolutely worth it (no, the sewer chapter isn't nearly as bad as people make it seem). I was sobbing by the end of it just because I had spent so much time with the story. That being said, if you think the musical is boring, you might not have a good time with the book 😅

The Charmed love!!! I loved how you showed all of your replica items. Also Etsy is always a good place to get those kinds of items.

I want to start Dungeon Crawler Carl, but I'm paralyzed by not knowing whether to do it with my eyes or my ears.

Cool film I enjoyed that thanks for uploading!

I still love my LV reverse monogram kislux clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.

I found the Atlas Six decent, gave it 3 ⭐️ It definitely isn’t as complex/confusing as it appears, just a bit and I think it was because of the writing not the plot itself 😅

Ash looks so much like my cat ❤

Richard Layman is awesome, also love witches and pirates!!

"It" is my favourite Stephen King book, so I'm very excited for you to read it! In my opinion, none of the adaptations did it justice, but the 1990 miniseries is definitely better.

Oh no 😬 I found watership down sooooo boring!!! I really hope you enjoy it. Norwegian Wood is a huge skip. If misogyny where a book it would be this one. Would be interested to hear your thoughts though if you do get to it. I’m guessing that friend is not a reader 😕

I love the way you did this tour!! It's a lot more interesting when you give some info and background about some of the books, rather than just going through and reading the title for each one. It was very engaging 😺Your shelves are gorgeous!

I remember reading my first choose your scare goosebumps book. I was so into it and it was so fun to choose. It was a story in a haunted theme park.

So excited for you to read the Sherlock Holmes stories and Les Miserables!!

I am also going to read the Sherlock Holmes books this year!! I am also going to read the hobbit as well as the Lord of the rings books this year

i read les mis in 2024, its 365 chapters so one a day is what i did... until october because of uni, i would recommend but my gosh does he go on tangents, was a very solid 4 stars

Interesting!

👋 Gav ive got audible on my phone so instead of having a tbr ive got a TBL aka to be listened and and there r some really good books out this year TM Logan the daughter is out February 27th another really good authors isa Patricia McBride Elaine Everest Glenda Young Rosie Goodwin Michael Stagg Lisa Regan detective Josie Quinn series and Patricia Gibney detective Lottie Parker series really recommend

i love cloud atlas, its one of my favorite books. i might need to do a reread this year since i haven't read it in a long time.

2:11:28 when it says that there is a kid in the school mentioning that the rock is haunted, I can just imagine Chapman turning around and going to the Rock to see what's all about and finding the rat and David spilling the beans on the Animorphs right then and there

2:08:56 I didn't understand how they were able to get away during the scene with Visser 3 in the ballroom

I just added Watership Down to my TBR stack. Read it back in the 1970s but, want to read it again now that I'm in my 70s😊

Loved IT,

Check, Please and Chef's Kiss are both adorable comics -- definitely recommend.

if you care about financial freedom do yourself a favor and read The Censored Guide to Wealth

That was a hotel, not a house.

the IT audio is amaze!

Please could you tell me where you got that version of Les Mis from? It's so beautiful.

I mostly watched all of this to get to the book I read as a child but didn't remember the name of haha, thanks for your service :D (it was switched btw, I know you didn't like the ending but as a 12 year old that ending pulled the rug out from under me soooo bad, one of the scariest book I had ever read)

I loved Northranger!

🖤💚

Hi Gavin, you mentioned you might want to get the Buffy and Angel books at some point. I own a lot of them (27 Buffy and 14 Angel books) that I don't need to keep. You can have them if you want them.

Watership Down is amazing it's one of my favourites

I started the witchy woodsmoke book and I’m really enjoying it! It’s secrets and the characters are just shining! I hope you love watership down its one of my favourite books !

I read Book Lovers because I was told it was not like the other rom-com books. And maybe, for pages 1-3 when she's telling us that she's the girl in the movie who gets left. Then she becomes the generic girl who gets picked. The "banter" made me cringe. If I'd been with these two by the pool table I would have found an excuse to leave. Emily Henry is an automatic skip for me now.

There's a book called The Gilded Nexus of Prosperity, and it talks about how using some secret techniques you can attract a lot of money, it's not some bullshit law of attraction, it's the real deal

I can't wait until you read Watership Down, I've been to scared to read it since I saw the movie 😱 So glad to see you doing more Classics x

I am reading Les Miserables now and I love and hate it. Hugo has amazing observations about the human psyche and society, and some parts of the story are generally engaging (i've never seen the musical or the film before), but AT LEAST a third of this book is just him yapping about the most random of shits, or random anecdotes about side characters that are not bad in and of itself but that don't really tell us anything new and are just way too long 😂 it is enjoyable but it definitely is a project read hahhaha

I wrote my BA thesis in Watership Down, it’s a really interesting read, definitely worth the effort!

I'm excited to see what you think about 'Thursday Murder Club'... I wasn't crazy about the first one but liked the characters... I've heard from others who felt the same but loved the rest of the series, so I will probably give the second a try!

I have a fear of heights, and it's so thoughtful of you to try to desensitize me to them! 😜🤣

Hey Gavin, Happy 2025! I think Murakami is a brilliant author, but I found the way he treats women’s and girls’ bodies in his writing really disturbing. I had to DNF 1Q84 on like page 800… But I’ve never read Norwegian Wood, maybe it’s better. For now I’m sticking with his short stories.

Les Mis is exactly 365 chapters, so you could technically do a chapter a day 😂Also the Smallville video would be perfectly timed to come out before the new Superman movie drops in July this year!

❤❤ this!! I have the counte of monte christo on my list for this year!

I'm bitter and single lol me 😅
