2024 Reading Survey ❤️‍🔥 (best audiobook, new favorite authors, best written, favorite debut, etc.)

[@meganellis9609]

My 2024 sucked too. I got back into reading this year and found your channel and Patreon. I read incidents around the house and someone in the attic because they were your picks. But I have a whole tbr of your suggestions. You are the reason I started reading horror and I really like it. Thanks.

[@case4147]

You always influence my reading! This year, I picked up Any Man, Bury Your Gays, Fantasticland, They Never Learn, and At Home with the Horrors, among many others, because of you. I also read my first manga, Uzumaki, because of how enthusiastic you are about manga, and put Slow Dance, Look in the Mirror, and Strange Sally Diamond on my Christmas list - the Gabby stamp of approval is all over my reading habits!

[@gabbyreads]

FantasticLand was so good!

[@jadeloggedon]

i recently read knock knock open wide because of you! and i really liked it!

[@queenkim8631]

Posted 44 seconds ago woooo...I just finished Gavin's video...perfect timing😊

[@readwithkori]

the light we lost wasn’t from this year but i read it finally because of yours vlog years ago and it’s one of my favorite romances this year

[@debbiecasipe7902]

I actually started following you a couple months ago because I agree with your contemporary/literary fiction reviews 9/10 times. I don't read horror, very little mystery/thriller and only some romance. You convinced me to read Blue Sisters (loved it) and I recently picked up Once There Were Wolves and Bright Young Women too. Also added several more books to my TBR. Love your channel 😊

[@gabbyreads]

I’m so glad to hear that, thank you so much!! ❤

[@erinlchapman61925]

I love the audiobook question! Totally agree about Incidents Around the House! The voice actor was amazing

[@zgeorgie]

I read Slow Dance by Rainbow Rowell because of your rec and loved her writing so much that I’ve read Fangirl and Eleanor and Park, and hope to read more by her.

[@rebekahmackenzie]

Thank you for the video! You pushed me to read A J. Fikry which I'm in the middle of right now. I also discovered Sheila Roberts as a new favorite author.

[@jibeiyao]

I read kill for me, kill for you because of your recommendation. I LOVED IT.

[@bernacaner544]

I just picked up Blue Sisters bc of you. Thank you so much got back to reading after a difficult year. Sending hugs

[@rnee1000]

Two books I read from your recs were The Storied Life of A J Fikry and Blue Sisters.

[@Showtunediva]

Thank you for all your great recommendations Gabby!❤

[@armystaytinyheart956]

Definitely one of my favourite videos but I’m a sucker for the stats video!❤

[@BookReviewsWithBecky]

I loved Listen for the Lies! 😍😍

[@Mar88882]

Thank goodness, getting ready to eat and was checking if you had a new video

[@Anne3D]

Currently reading The Eyes Are The Best Part after you recommended it!

[@Sadie896]

The book you pushed me to read was Incidents Around the House. Half way through it. So far so good!

[@BarbaraGobbi]

I picked up several books this year based on your reviews, especially Slow Dance, Blue Sisters, and Incidents Around The House

[@esliet]

Loved your channel in 2024. Looking forward to 2025

[@pomsandbooks]

I read Strange Sally Diamond this year because of you, and I really enjoyed it! I also read Shark Heart because of you but I can’t remember if you read that last year or this year.

[@justinkhchen]

I definitely got influenced to check out The Haar through you (already in queue in on my Kindle Unlimited)! Some of my favorite book covers this year are: Diavola, The Night Guest, and Nestlings. Audiobook wise, I really enjoy the production for the upcoming Alice Feeney (Beautiful Ugly).

[@gabbyreads]

Ahhh I hope you enjoy The Haar Justin! Also I’m so glad to hear that about Beautiful Ugly, I can’t wait to read that book soon! 😍🤩

[@sheyannestewart]

You make me read so many things every year. But definitely fantasticland, we spread, the Haar, the eyes are the best part, the measure, almond, natural beauty, on the same page, and bury your gays.

[@gabbyreads]

ahhhhhh Sheyanne! that's amazing wow I'm so glad to hear that, thank you!

[@monikaliane]

Promised never land is sooo good! You need to finish it

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

A 600 page romance is wild though 😂

[@SorallaRebelde]

You influenced me to read Earthlings, which OMG! I also read Bury Your Gays and We Used To Live Here because of you lol! 😄

[@17caria]

Off the top of my head, I definitely read Incidents around the House because of you. I liked the audiobook. You have also put on my radar Bury your Gays and Blue Sisters, just to name a couple!! Oh, and of course, Kill for me, Kill for you! So many dark tiles, lol

[@Mar88882]

Like every book you recommend I’ve read

[@tanialeee]

The movie, It ends with us, was so trash. I started following you this year, I think I was looking for a reading vlog with First Lie Wins (it was my first suspenseful genre) Just for the Summer was also a good one that I read this year and I also loved it. I have some of your recs on my TBR and I’m not a fast reader and I don’t read everyday so idk how I’m going to keep up with your recs lol.

[@cindyo6298]

For some reason, it's easier to read long books on Kindle for me

[@gabbyreads]

100%

[@savagejazz4958]

I always get book recommendations from ur videos and bc of ur videos i read heartstopper, fangirl, happiness manga, and i also like trust ur opinion when it comes to thrillers, or mangas. There are few thriller Christmas books i found that were good like hoilday homicide, xmas break, ill be alone for Christmas n i do wanna read blue sisters but im not sure if ima like it bc i dont have a sister and i wanna read the eyes are the best part

[@AliDoisRead]

I definitely bought On the Same Page because of you! Haven’t read it yet though lol

[@gabbyreads]

Oh my gosh ahhh haha I hope you love it too! 🥰

[@katb7201]

I read Blue Sisters based on your review. I loved it!

[@gabbyreads]

That's amazing! I'm so happy you loved it!

[@jamesduggan7200]

Never having read the Rom-Commers I can't say much about the character Charlie, whom you despised. However, as I recall the dating world as I knew it in the last century many women accept that the single men they find are all works in progress. It's pretty easy to imagine the several advantages to choosing a Mr. Rightnow while waiting for Mr. Right to arrive but beside those the challenges to remaking a dog into a man could keep a significant other interested. Love your list and all your reviews. Have a very happy new year.

[@tiaragrooms25]

Definitely The Haar, I already had it on my TBR but seeing you love it so much convinced me. Also side note there's an audiobook version available, and it's great!! I loved the audiobook for Incidents around the house!!! Having a young narrator makes it feel like you're hearing these horrors from the perspective of a child. Gabby should definitely finish Happiness it took a turn I didn't see coming!

[@DanaGildersleeve]

I saw you review The Other SIde of Night and you said to go into it knowing as little as possible. I went straight to the library and borrowed it having no idea what it was even about and it is in my top 10 books of the year (I've read 280). So good job recommending that!

[@gabbyreads]

Wow I’m so glad to hear that!! 😍🥰

[@beardedjohnson5654]

If you don’t like books about war, you should read thee greatest anti-war book of all time. Slaughterhouse-Five. Game changing.

[@inmintealucagula]

Hi! I have a question for you! What kind of job do you have which allows you to read so much...cause I want it too... Are you a librarian?

[@gabbyreads]

I’ve been doing KZbin full time for a few years now ☺️

[@lorenamunguia-cortez9368]

I’m wondering if Blue Sisters would be great for me, even if I don’t have a sister bond like you do? Because I do usually love lit fic that is hard hitting

[@gabbyreads]

I definitely think you’d love it, especially if you love lit fic! ☺️

[@lesap8889]

Do you count Manga in your ratings?

[@gabbyreads]

Yes! ☺️

[@alejandragomez499]

I hated "On the Same Page". I felt Reily was very holier than thou, superiority complex. I felt it was very insta-lovey and couldn't understand why Gianna idealized Reily so much. I had to DNF it.

[@mikaylalorraine6410]

Sooo random question but would you still recommended Blue Sisters if you don’t have a good relationship with your sister lol

[@gabbyreads]

If you usually enjoy lit fic, I would definitely still recommend it! ☺️

[@booksalicia1763]

I think I’m going to pick up Blue Sisters because if you🫶🏽

[@gabbyreads]

ahhhh that makes me so happy to hear! I hope you love it too!
