[@Moonchildarts]

I am so glad you spoke up about mean people! I feel like you are such a kind person and I love seeing you stand up for yourself!! I love your guitar covers. I get to hear a lot of songs I may not know and I enjoy sharing in something you love. Keep on doing the things that bring you joy ❤❤❤❤

[@gabbyreads]

Aw thanks so much Gretchen!! 🥰

[@CoralTheWitch2023]

PLEASE don’t stop doing guitar covers! I LOVE when you do them! They are one of my MOST favorite parts of your vlogs! You are a QUEEN vlogger! I’m always so excited to watch your vlogs! ❤❤❤

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you so much Tammy!! ❤

[@marlenerichardson4429]

I enjoy the guitar covers Gabby xxx

[@amymcneece7599]

YES! I’m always singing along with her when she does her covers!

[@daniellesainato1221]

DONT STOP THE GUITAR COVERS!! Will never understand the people that hate all over things that people love. We love watching them because we can see how much you love doing them! And also screw those people, you have a beautiful singing voice ❤

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you so much!! 💕

[@jordytubman3847]

I absolutely LOVE your slice-of-life blogs (in addition to everything!): they're the boost of energy i need before I go to work! (EDIT: and I LOVE your guitar covers!)

[@wandererlostsoul]

The guitar song cover is my favorite part of your vlogs. Plus your voice is soft and very calming. Adds your own flavor to your contents!

[@paayal649]

Gabby, I have been watching your videos for several years now (big fan!) please, please, keep playing your guitar and singing. You sing and play beautifully, you have so many talents and if it makes you happy that’s all that matters! So glad you had a wonderful bday! Lots of love ❤ Also, Rachel is a legit artist like Wow!! She is so talented!!

[@amymcneece7599]

I’ve been watching you for years! I’m a romance reader so we don’t really read the same genres but I watch your monthly vlogs religiously! Also know I’m singing along with you when you do your covers. You’re awesome!

[@애다]

i'm sooo happy you liked Suga! we're the same ❤️ Happy Birthday!!! 🎉🎈🎁🎂

[@HasminRose]

I'm glad you're not letting trolls change what you include in your videos. "Hurt people hurt people" I find it so endearing when you play guitar and sing 🩵

[@MindyDontCayer]

Gabby! Re: the guitar trolls. I’m so glad you aren’t going to stop doing them. I think they’re such a nice break in the vlogs. They’re peaceful and make me feel so happy to see you do something you love and do WELL. You are a good singer! And for someone who I consider to be kind of shy / timid …I always feel like you are a badass for putting that vulnerable moment out there for us to see and hear. I love it. Don’t stop. And piss off, trolls.

[@gabbyreads]

That’s so sweet of you to say thank you!! ❤❤❤

[@ol.a2440]

I love your covers and enthusiasm. You are the sweetest. Don't let anyone dull your sparkle 💖

[@sharkygirl100]

Please don’t stop doing the guitar covers I enjoy listening to them and seeing you obvious enjoyment of doing them. It’s part of who you are and another lovely an unique part of your channel. Your channel is one of my favourite booktube channels. Don’t let anyone dull you sparkle. Take care xx

[@meganc5680]

Happy belated Birthday!!! I love when you show love on BTS!!!

[@Hillary429]

I usually skip the guitar covers simply because we have different music taste but I love that you’re so passionate about it and they do always remind me that I want to take singing lessons to learn how to sing (maybe 2023 will be the year)

[@aurorastoprose]

I love the Alani Nu energy drinks! They are soo delicious and I feel like they don't give a sugar rush because they do not have sugar in them.

[@jevensg]

I really enjoy the guitar covers. You are one of the reasons I really got into Taylor swift actually. Glad you had an awesome birthday!!

[@gabbyreads]

I appreciate that! Thank you!! ❤

[@cheekychapters]

I hope you never stop doing guitar covers!! I think they’re amazing and so beautiful! I hope this isn’t weird, but I actually play your “you’re on your own kid” cover on repeat especially when I’m having a tough day and it instantly makes me happy and keeps me motivated. You keep doing your thing QUEEN! We’re here for you! 💛

[@gabbyreads]

Aw that’s so sweet thank you!! 🥹🥹🥹

[@jessmotif]

Please don’t change anything I love your vlogs so much because you’re completely authentic and yourself which is really rare 😊 xxx

[@Kindlelover88]

Happy Birthday Gabby!!!!🎉🎉My favorite part is you showing us your birthday gifts. Your excitement is so infectious!!!!!! I smiled through the whole thing so happy your family KNOWS you so well.

[@gabbyreads]

Aw thank you!! ❤

[@itskatehill]

Please don't ever let trolls kill your spirit, enthusiasm, and creativity! Your videos are some of my favorites. They're like a cozy, fun corner of the internet.

[@Devi15]

Love your guitar covers and your voice💜 Please keep doing it. And that star top is such a beauty❤️‍🔥

[@Mkayreadsandvlogs]

Rockstar energy is my favorite energy drink. Happy birthday 🥳

[@MandaFandaa]

Happy belated birthday Gabby! And I just know this is your year too! Thank you for sharing these with us. They cheer me up for sure.

[@kriziaamber4548]

G-Fuel is my fave energy drink. Its the ONLY one that doesn’t hurt my stomach or make me super jittery and heart-palpitationy and it tastes great. So many flavors!

[@berrynice8503]

This video is exactly what I needed for my Friday night! Also, I love when you incorporate your guitar covers! You have every right to share what you love ❤

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you so much!!

[@jessicabridges4335]

That snowstorm we received in northern Whatcom County was a nightmare. It got bad after Ferndale exit on I-5. I'm so not ready for more snow. I love your Vlogs! Keep up the good work!!! Hope you have a good rest of the month.

[@Bookedwithsteph]

As someone who's currently learning guitar, I love watching you play! You inspire me. I would love it if you also did individual guitar cover videos. Stay awesome, Gabby!

[@brookecrimaldi8018]

I was just thinking while watching your video that I love how you include the guitar covers!! Please keep including them ♥

[@gabbyreads]

Aw thank you ❤❤❤

[@Aveaveaveryyyyyy]

Rachel eating Mac and cheese from a pot while gabby eats her fancy looking din is the most relatable thing I’ve seen hahaha

[@gabbyreads]

😂😂😂

[@julieinman3944]

I enjoyed this vlog so much! I love seeing what's going on with you and your family. You put in your videos what makes you happy and forget about all the haters. Do you boo! Block, block, block-ain't nobody got time for all that negativity girl! ❤

[@gabbyreads]

Aw thank you Julie!! I appreciate you so much ❤❤❤

[@hannahangelina4893]

the peach tranquility monster is sooooo good

[@4SuperPark]

F the haters. I love your guitar covers & your confidence for posting the videos. You have a better voice then myself & the haters. Post them for yourself & the people who love them despite the mean people out there. Thanks for speaking up to the haters & doing what you love despite the negative people out there trying to bring you down because they don’t have the same confidence as you.

[@sheilabarry5422]

Love your videos, Gabby, and I love your singing! Sing loud and proud, and remember how much joy you bring to your subscribers!

[@gabbyreads]

Thanks so much 🥹💕

[@lyndseymb]

This hurts my heart but I’m also happy you spoke up about it. I absolutely love the guitar covers and look forward to them in every monthly vlog and I’m really happy to hear they’ll stay. One of my favorite things you include! ❤

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you 💕💕💕

[@mathequation8544]

I love your guitar coves! Thanks for sharing them with us.

[@mathequation8544]

[@kellywogenstahl2574]

Good for you for calling out the trolls! It’s very evident it is something that you love to do, and makes you happy. That’s all that matters 💕 F the trolls 😅

[@thebookblah]

All the BTS stuff you got as gifts I AM PEAK JEALOUSY 💜💜💜

[@17caria]

That picture of the movie Smile is terrifying! Thanks so much for sharing so many personal times with your family!

[@serenapearson8763]

I’m so happy you covered Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve… that’s quickly become my new favorite song by Taylor Swift 🤩🤩

[@kris10_h_]

I absolutely love your videos. You give off such great energy and you seem so grateful always

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you so much! 🥹🥰

[@870scarlett]

Gabby! I love your covers!! I gasped when you played bejeweled it’s one of my favorite Taylor Swift songs and I think you did an amazing job!! Your videos bring me so much joy. ❤️

[@gabbyreads]

Aw thanks 🥹🥹💕

[@aliciam3381]

Love the party outfit! That shirt just screams Gabby to me.

[@aurorastoprose]

Women Talking is phenomenal! Sarah Polley was robbed of a nomination for best director. It was so so so so so good.

[@KylasCozyCorner]

12:00 CHILLS AT THIS COVER RIGHT NOW! So goood! It makes me cry every single time! 🥹 And legit F the haters! Love love love your covers! Don’t ever stop!! 🙌🏼

[@gabbyreads]

Aw thanks Kyla!!! ❤❤❤

[@LunahsLibrary]

I’m glad you do guitar covers. You can tell you truly enjoy it. Keep doing what you enjoy 💕

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you so much!!

[@Hillary429]

The Banshees of Inisherin was absolutely hilarious to start because of their accents and way of speaking but it went a direction I was definitely not expecting.. “feckin’ hell!”

[@sienna367]

As a Tae biased person from BTS, i can vouch that rap line bring the philosophical side of the group. The maknaes are performative and they make the delivery interesting. So it's really good to see how they balance each other out.

[@JanAgaton]

YOUR BEJEWELED COVER SOUNDS SO GOOD WOW

[@gabbyreads]

Aw thanks Jan 🥰

[@catcmbe]

I love your guitar covers! Last year I binged all your videos and it was nice seeing how good you’ve become through the years of you playing. Like the Bejeweled cover in this one was amazing and I loved how it’s from one of my fave songs on the album 💜 Omg I love your party outfit ✨

[@gabbyreads]

Thanks so much ❤❤❤

[@BookBFF]

I usually skip Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve, but your cover made me want to listen to it more. Love your covers!

[@gabbyreads]

Aw thank you!!

[@Rvejar]

I like the green monster but in high school i was OBSESSED with the purple one..idk what flavor it is lol Coffee is my go to! But if I do get an energy drink, I love Red Bull..either the blueberry flavor or more recently the watermelon flavor 🤤

[@halko1802]

Always enjoy your vlogs! Omg I freaking looove tacos al pastor - they look 🔥! I still need to watch all those movies before the Oscars! Also, I’ve always really enjoyed your guitar covers. You can play guitar and sing well at the same time and that takes talent! Sending you positive vibes and well wishes for 2023!

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you so much!! ❤

[@kellyreadingbooks]

Your face after you asked if there was frosting in the middle of your cake too 😂 Your family is the absolute sweetest, I wish I had a family like yours! I looooove your guitar covers so much. It’s something I’ve never seen in another BookTubers channel and I think makes your videos more unique! And I think you honestly sing beautifully, I am tone deaf lol and I don’t know how to play any musical instruments so that’s also amazing!! Good for you for addressing it and putting it to rest for the dumb people out there! Happy belated birthday 🎂

[@gabbyreads]

That’s so sweet Kelly thank you so much!! I’m so glad to hear that 🥰🥰🥰

[@case4147]

I always look forward to your monthly vlogs! ❤ Love that you included your Oscar nomination reactions - I’m 29 and it’s so hard to find people my age who are as interested in movies as I am, so I love how into them you are! (Tár was actually my fave of the Best Picture nominees, so I hope you enjoy it!)

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you!! And ahhh I need to see Tar before the Oscar’s!! ❤

[@aliciam3381]

I really enjoy your guitar covers! You are the main reason I bought a guitar last year. 😀

[@gabbyreads]

That's awesome! ❤❤❤

[@Themarkeys]

gabby I just wanted to say I'm so glad your keeping the guitar covers, because it's something you love and not continuing to do them would make all those fucking trolls happy and fuckkkk that!!

[@JanAgaton]

I just recently got into energy drinks, and I looove the Cotton Candy flavor of Bang, and the Breezeberry flavor of Alani Nu!

[@michelepastele5347]

Gabby - I REALLY love your guitar covers and look forward to them. Thanks for doing them - love you G!

[@gabbyreads]

[@catyapping]

Pipeline punch is my favorite monster flavor, the pink one. Also lol I used to love rockstars

[@AnchorsAweigh13]

You should totally try the ghost energy drinks. My favorite is the warhead watermelon flavor. So good!!

[@soniarodriguez1419]

This vlog made me 😊 My face is the blue low card monster. It reminds me of nerds candy. I also like the peach and watermelon ones.

[@rebeccasummerhill8010]

Okay you killed it with the bejeweled cover

[@BookBFF]

Also you should do a video where you match Tswift songs to books that have the same vibes and then do clips of your guitar cover!

[@lorenamunguia-cortez9368]

Omg your NYE top?? I love

[@ffiontill5924]

Yaaay. Made my day. Definitely needed this today. Thank you x it’s been a tough winter. So thank you for being a light and a place to escape and positivity.

All quite on the western front is a phenomenal movie, it's about a few soldiers' journeys during world war -1.

[@theasmrlibrary]

I got so excited when you mentioned getting bias wrecked by Yoongi! He’s my ultimate bias I love him so much ❤

[@gabbyreads]

He’s amazing 🥹🥹🥰💕

[@aarushimamgain5019]

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you so much!! ❤❤❤

[@alyrica0505]

I just got to the troll section and what stands out most is that you still do them (covers) despite the haters. I love that! You are so awesome.

[@legendaryreader39]

Haters gonna hate, Gabby. Don't let them get you down. You do you. Like you said, if they don't like your content, then they don't have to watch. I love your content so keep it coming, girl. You're awesome!

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you!!

[@krystalskryptonite9667]

Cotton Candy Bang!! My favorite!!! 💗

[@queenkim8631]

I JUST watched Smile for the first time with my friends...what a coincidence!!! Also, I love your guitar covers!🫶🫶 LASTLY, your outfit for the party was awesome😍

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you so much!!

[@kristas9401]

Your guitar covers inspired me to want to learn ukelele or guitar this year so I can play Taylor swift songs too! I like when you include them in your videos 🙂

[@gabbyreads]

Omg that’s amazing!! Thank you ❤

[@Bookedwithsteph]

I'm learning guitar right now! I would love to follow your journey when you start.

I like the all white Monster and the grape!

[@MadeByElissa]

I used to loooove energy drinks but it’s been nearly 10 years since i had one, but I started getting chest pains from it😳😳😳 I loooove coffee now though and it doesn’t effect me like that

[@RainlionReads]

I love the Ultra Sunrise Monster and the white one. Energy drinks and coffee don't do anything for me (thanks ADHD!) except coffee makes me sleepy so I just drink them for the taste.

[@gabbyreads]

Ohhh yum I’ll have to try that one! 👀

[@thebookblah]

GABBY YOUR BTS BIAS WRECK UPDATE HAD ME HOWLING HAHAHHAHA SO LEGIT 😂😆😭😂

[@gabbyreads]

😂😂😂 Yoongi has wrecked and continues to wreck me lol

[@janesocalgal2278]

Gabby, I'm glad that you got spoiled for your Bday. Especially by Rachel. Great video. I'm going to try Seoulmates. Sounds cute even though it's out of my age group....So you like BTS, huh? Haha. Those stickers are cool. Rachel's BTS Bday card could be an album cover. Seriously! She could also check with authors to do book covers!

[@thefinalgirl3639]

I absolutely love your Guitar Covers. Especially Taylor. I think you're a great singer. You make Me want to learn. I had a guitar are learned some chords. But I never seem to have time to practice. But you just seem like it's so easy. ⭐️🎶🖤
