[@rainaanderson2787]

Hearing CAMP ROCK being chanted in the distance as you continue to talk and walk away is comedic gold 🤣

[@CB-dy1he]

I almost choked on my breakfast when the CAMP ROCK part came 😂😂

[@bridgetvollmer6337]

lol....me too

[@ReadingUnderTheStars.3637]

I started laughing so hard when Camp Rock came on. My cat was looking at me like I lost my mind

[@KatieColson]

Everybody has said it. And for good reasons. But the Camp Rock part TOOK ME OUT

[@just_bea_weird]

"CAMP ROCK" 👐 Seriously, the weird people you encounter when you go out into the world 😆

[@just_bea_weird]

Gavin in the hot tub: It's so dark here.🌲🌳🌲 Reads "I'll be gone in the dark" 👀😳😱

[@aftondeonce]

LMFAOOOOOOOOO THE CAMP ROCK SCENE PLEASE

[@KittyAndTheBooks]

Gavin is a Cabin should be a thing. This was so much fun, thanks for taking us along! (For FREE!)

[@kirstie8344]

“Reader, I starved.” 😂 that made me chuckle. And the Camp Rock bit. You’re the best!

[@racheltfisher]

The Camp Rock bit 😂 yes Gavin!

[@michellecgb]

The camp rock bit SENT ME 😂😂😂 I love the way your mind works

[@thisbookbelongstopam]

i was not prepared for camp rock 😂😂😂😂

[@samantharose1001]

Gavin: it’s like we’re on this cabin getaway together 🥰 Gavin: 🤨🤨 so where’s your cut of the cost ? LOLL my bad my bad

[@Bookish_Lattes]

Not the Camp Rock cult 😂

[@thelunafaerie]

Gavin in a cabin 😂😂😂 that’s a great series name 🌲🍷📚 thanks for all the magic you bring 🌟🤗

[@jryan217]

I keep rewatching and having hysterical fits of laughter at 19:30-19:38. In the hot tub, then hearing a plop. "What was that? Did something drop in??". I am laughing with tears in my eyes just thinking about it while I type this. I have rewatched that 7 times already and it never gets less funny.

[@mc2091]

I nearly pissed myself when camp rock came around

[@kipper790]

The camp rock edit made my day, I was not expecting that 🤣

[@PokhrajRoy.]

One of the first vlogs I saw on the channel was Gavin in a cabin. It’s come full circle.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

3:34 It’s like reading Jane Eyre when you’re hired as a private tutor in the English countryside.

[@Lisa-vb3gn]

Except Jane Eyre is fiction and pretty unrealistic fiction at that.

[@KitsuneCool]

Camp Rock! That killed me. 🤣 I love these reading retreats, they are my favorite booktube videos! Feels like a mini holiday lol ❤

[@Hairsteel]

Gavin you are actually a comedian! The camp rock bit and the reflection bit I’m dying with laughter, love you! 😂❤

[@BooksNest]

The Camp Rock part 😂 immaculate!

[@nikisbookishcoven]

not the camp rock 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@RedlingMage]

I read Beloved over a decade ago. I don’t remember much of it in terms of plot or character, but I remember how hard it was for me to read, partly because of how intense and heavy the content is and partly because of Morrison’s ever-shifting narrative. It almost felt like the book was actively resisting me reading it. I think it might be the toughest book I’ve ever read, a true horror of the human condition, something that forces you to sit and process the atrocities and traumas of the past, not just skate over them. I haven’t read any of Morrison’s other work because Beloved was so tough, but I have nothing but respect for her as an author for the power and craftsmanship of that one book.

[@CatApocalypse]

Aw Gavin, if it's big and fuzzy, it's just a bumble bee! I'm glad you were able to help it back outside at least 😹

[@Artractive_]

It’s not a Gavin trip without some Prosecco ✨✨👏🏼 7:26 I spat out my water 😂 you are so funny! Hope you had an awesome time, the cabin looks super cozy

[@BooksandLala]

Ahhh how fun!! ⛺👏🏻

[@NoirEtBlanc86]

I’m late to this episode, but Toni Morrison is one of my favorite authors. Beloved is such a great and tough book to read. The movie is also really good. I’m so glad you read it! Btw, if Toni did an audio version, then I recommend. I listened to her audio on another book and it was amazing. Her voice really brought the book more to life. RIP Toni Morrison, such a legend.

[@jasminmai3528]

The Camp Rock part made me cackle 😂 also when is your birthday??? I knew you were a Taurus..

[@cleg78]

Oh my days…Camp Rock lol 😂 that was brilliant 🤗🤗🥇

[@queenkim8631]

CAMP ROCK!!!😂😂

[@heidiu2scrap]

I love these type of videos from you Gavin. There is nothing more chill and relaxing than reading a book surrounded by nature!

[@gabbyreads]

Not you trying to scare the patrons hahahha if I was watching I would’ve flipped 😂🤭

[@billiep1603]

I’ll be gone in the dark got me into non-fiction books honestly. I was already into true crime (and still am) but the book was so devastating Michelle did an incredible job showing us that the victims were real people and not just names.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I love the birds singing 🥹

[@allgirlreview433]

So glad you are still here.

[@thecampinglibrarian]

The exhale you made when you walked out onto the back porch. You can tell you needed this escape in the woods.

[@LizLovesBooks]

The camp rock interlude!!! 😂😂😂

[@Books.and.biscuits]

The camp rock part made me spit out my water😂😂😂😂😂 that was so unexpected and fucking hilarious😂😂😂😂

[@ariane1159]

Viva la vida at the beginning is such a slay

[@AlixandraBishop]

That poor bumble bee! My husband had one in his hair yesterday and i couldnt stop laughing at his reaction (he thought it was a massive spider at first). I love seeing you enjoying nature and how excited you were when seeing the deer in your last video......I live on an acre in the middle of the woods in the mountains of Virginia and we see all kinds of critters. I have 6 deer, a raccoon, a possum, a couple of bears, rabbits, squirrels, a groundhog, and plenty of birds. A little slice of paradise. But seriously, how many times can you look at a tree? 😂 I hope you had an enjoyable time. Wishing you well❤

[@TheHexedLibrary]

That giggle you made when seeing yourself in the window. I died. I don't know if you know this but the author of I'll be Gone In The Dark actually died before finishing the book. It was finished and published by her husband (the actor Patton Oswalt) and a couple of other true crime writers. The book was actually published just a couple of months before the Golden State Killer was caught. It's a wild story. Love this silly, chaotic little vlog. I'm glad you're able to get a couple more relaxing weekends away now that you've decided to be more serious about trying to move. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!

[@OoOooowindy]

It's official- you are my new comfort youtuber.

[@eviechatsandchapters]

Gavvvvv I loved this!! I did think, you could heat up your oat milk in the microwave or the stove 😂😂😂 but it’s a bit late now haha… thank you for all of your content!!! ❤❤

[@lizhart81]

Beloved is one of those books that I loved, but I don't think I'll ever reread it. It absolutely wrecked me. It's a spectacular book.

[@Kite562reviews]

Man this cabin looks GORGEOUS 😍

[@Werecat06]

That bee was all 'My queen 👑'

[@VolumeOnePodcast]

Gavin in a cabin needs to be a recurring vlog series please and thanks (also more hot tub gavin is absolutely necessary)

[@racheltfisher]

Gavin in a cabin 😂

[@adamrivers3250]

Gavin seems like the funnest person.

[@samantharose1001]

the ambiance in this vlog ✨✨

[@crazybooklady8682]

Next time you stumble upon a bee inside: Catch it with a cup, temporarily close it off with a piece of paper and set it free outside 😊 Works much more efficiently than try to shoo its way outside plus you AND the bee will get less stressed 😘

[@dorkphoenixrising]

I'm staying at this site next month ❤

[@racheltfisher]

Bees won’t hurt you Gavin 😊❤

[@mn9885]

Happy belated birthday Gavin!! We love you so much and I can’t wait to experience another year with you and our little community together! You’ve been so amazing and I’m excited to see you even happier! Also PLEASE continue to do TovaTrips when you can bc it’s my GOAL ❤️❤️ much love 💕

[@pattireinheimer5612]

The Old Man and the Sea is a really good book. It’s not the happiest story but it’s a good read. A quick read too.

[@NamasteBbooktube]

You should go back to that scary cabin and read horror books again...facing your fears 🧟🧟🧟

[@megancantley2949]

Gavin I just love you and your videos, you’re hilarious. I feel like your are a friend that I’ve never met 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️I go to the log cabins in Scotland and have been going with my family for the past 17/18 years, the exact same ones with Forest Holidays and love them! 🌲🌿🐿️🦔 books & twinning deal for me 💁🏼‍♀️

[@TheDaniMarie0403]

Beloved did me dirty in High School. I was trying to move up to an honors class bc the English I was in books were really easy for me and ones I'd already read, so the teacher said I could move up if I could catch up on their entire reading of Beloved and write a report on it in a week... at 15 yrs old I could not wrap my head around that book. It was so confusing to me and now every time i see it in the store i give it the finger lol (i do think its probably a lovely book and if i didnt have a grudge I would reread it, but it was not something I could handle at that age.) I stayed in my regular English Class and read Grapes or Wrath and Great Gatsby for the 3rd time in my school career lol

[@mehakmustafa6277]

I love how creative your videos are Gavin

[@racheltfisher]

Wasps are the buggers!

[@Cafe_Scribbles]

We LOVE Gavin in a Cabin!

[@jryan217]

I think your bee was a carpenter bee.

[@christinebell1939]

I love that I almost always learn something about books and literature from your wonderful videos!! Now, I'm inspired to be challenged by reading Beloved. Love your videos!!

[@paginator]

The amount of times I laughed in this video cannot be numbered! (Especially at spooky-Gavin-in-a-mask) I really needed that! 😀❤️🤣

[@beckyduff]

My side of the money is watching all the ads!

[@stepha7822]

The I'll be Gone in the Dark doc was SO good. But that book actually terrified me, and I'm no stranger to true crime, and scary stuff.

[@percydoeseverything]

Not Gaving walking right into Camp Rock... awkward! 🤣

[@bipolar_bookbish]

You always make me smile! I love when you edit funny things into your videos. 🖤

[@humbug6464]

This was so trippy to watch. I grew up just outside Sherwood Forest and had my mini moon at Forest Holidays at Sherwood Forest.

[@KristinKravesBooks]

Ahhh to be sitting in a hot tub in the middle of the woods with a glass of prosecco. Heaven!!! (but also scary 😂)

[@Ruclester]

I had 2 dogs and a cat. My cat loves to travel. I took all of them to a cabin at a state park a lot like this place. My cat was sooo happy. My dogs didn't care. My cat gets so excited if we just talk about going somewhere. If you didn't have to use public transportation I would say give taking your cats a try at least once. They might surprise you. I got a second cat and need to see how he does.

[@stevendemo97]

Going to a cabin in the woods alone to just read is such a vibe!! I’m jealous Gav

[@bethmw28]

It's so funny seeing you 20 minutes away from my house! 😂 I've only just started the video so I hope my part of the country treated you well

[@hannahgordon5013]

This was such a good video! So jelous of how gorgeous the views of the forest are!

[@alx7689]

You found a wild camp rock cast in sherwood 😂that part killed me

[@KitAE0]

I stayed in these cabins too! I was about 14 with my parents and it was The Hunger Games era so every time I looked outside I felt like Katniss in the arena 😅 I hope you loved your time there! Great Vlog Gavin and loved the Camp Rock and facemask bit 😂😊

[@TheBluehollywood]

Such a beautiful place 🥰 makes me want to get a cabin now 😂. Lmao the Camp Rock 2 cameo 🤣🤣 I can’t.

[@stegobookosaurusrawr4153]

THE CAMP ROCK PART GOT ME.. But otherwise this vlog is so relaxing!

[@nijinoshita3301]

Gavin, use a Glass and a piece of paper to catch insects to throw them outside ^.^ especially when they stick to windows it is easy to catch them this way

[@PokhrajRoy.]

3:05 You’re so clever to pick that title because it does tie in with the idea of a home.

[@ReadingNymph]

The cabin looked so peaceful, lovely vlog

[@brizhammer]

“Gavin in a cabin” now that’s a vibe.

[@lindsayarmstrong7130]

I would love to do something like this! I would read and colour and watch movies…sounds so nice!

[@SuperStrangSshadow]

Cute cabin. Would love to spend a few weeks in a similar cabin, away from noisy neighbours.

[@erikkasea]

You should have joined in and dance changed with those kids, Could have been fun! Also, there is just so many times I can look at a tree had me rolling

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Mansfield Town, eh? Is Fanny going to be there? Are the Crawford Siblings showing up?

[@Artemis-In-Rome]

I love Toni Morrison, Beloved is actually inspired by the true case of a runaway slav3 k!ll!my her child so they could escape slavery. The case is remembered because they weren’t sure if to charge the woman with m0rd3r or with destruction of property. Ultimately she was charged with destruction of property since if she was charged with m0rd3r it would acknowledge that slav3s were also equal human beings.

[@JanAgaton]

i would genuinely watch you talk to a bee for hours

[@FayroseH]

Hey Gav, the Kindle app is also available on laptops (just for future reading desperation problem solving purposes)

[@sophhnavarro]

I'm so happy you we're able to make so much content out of that cabin rental! I've been loving all of it c:

[@fionahowellwrites5302]

I love the woods and feel very lucky to live in the woods! It can be hard in the winter, but I still love it. :)

[@gabbyreads]

Ahhh that cabin is so stunning I’m so glad you made this video!! And lmao wow that bee that came in was so freaking big haha I also would’ve been terrified 😂

[@shannamccarthy]

You never fail to make me laugh😭❤️

[@WhimsicalFamilyLife]

That's a luxury bug hotel, wow! Such a beautiful setting, thank you for sharing!

[@lettersfromlilly]

This blog had me cracking up! I missed the part on sprints where you were outside but when I came back and you had the mask on, I did a double take lol! I was holding my breath with the bee 🤣 Dr.Pepper is king. Can’t wait to see the next vlog 💕

[@stephbarry8971]

Gav, literally loved this vlog! So random, and fucking hilarious 😂

[@butterflyamanda]

loved this vlog ❤ sprints were so much fun 😂 and it's always good to relax and take a walk in nature 🌳🍃

[@Gillian.Ashcroft.66]

Gavin, someone OR something is always watching......
