#Summerween

[@Bookish_Lattes]

When you said “I haven't got time to waste” after an hour of looking out the window... I about died. 🤣

[@GavinReadsItAll]

And that's not including the 1-2 hours I spent looking out of my window the day before 😂 TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!

[@morganarosana]

Barely one week in the new house and you already have that juice neighborhood gossip

[@GavinReadsItAll]

If there wasn’t gonna be neighbourhood gossip when I moved in, I’d create it 😈

[@EmmaBoglitt]

“…. So my mind immediately went to ‘they’re all dead! Somehow they’re all dead!’ “ IF THIS ISN’T ME I DONT KNOW WHAT IS😂😂😂😂

[@takeherthemoon]

the way i’m invested in the neighbor drama as if i live here 😭 im the exact same in situations like that

[@GavinReadsItAll]

@@takeherthemoon we must know!!

[@kyra8138]

Gavin doesn't even need to read Mysteries for Summerween, he has his own mystery going on outside his house

[@eviechatsandchapters]

The neighborhood watch segment had to be the best thing I’ve watched in a LONG time hahaha… my husband was even invested!!! 😂😂😂

[@MeganWoodard1984]

Gavin's vlog went from Summerween, to True Crime VERY quickly LOL. I'm invested now, hahahahaha.

[@xgremlynnx]

"Thats a great idea because im such a little bitch" 😂 live your best life

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Says a lot about me when me being a little bitch is living my best life 😂

[@marshalmallow7192]

Omg not Gavin being the main character in a thriller novel during Summerween 😳

[@nuggetstump]

“Sorry went off on a tangent.. back to the book” NOO AM HERE FOR THE GOSS NOW 😂👏🏻

[@nowherejulia]

No, the "Act natural" made me wheeze 😂

[@Keter9793]

Gavin: murder, mystery, suspense 👁👄👁 Gavin's mom: squatters internet: tea 💅

[@AndreaGReads]

Tobu watching you “like a little creeper” 🤣🤣🤣

[@GavinReadsItAll]

If anything happens to me, you know who did it

[@foreverpumpkin7776]

you mentioned there was a lady in a red coat and my mind immediately went to Pretty Little Liars, LOL

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Haha I thought about PLL too when I said it 😂

[@queenkim8631]

The tea with ur neighbors had me invested😳 I'm so THRILLED you're reading all of Stephen King books! Can't wait for the first episode 😆🙆🏽‍♀️

[@GavinReadsItAll]

And here I thought I'd be moving into a nice, peaceful neighbourhood haha

[@Lifeonasofa]

Pahaha you sitting at your window is me 😂 I had our ring doorbell playing on the TV watching our neighbour get escorted out, police dogs and everything. It was HOT TEA ☕️ that morning. All before 10am too, top tier.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Hahaha omg I need to invest in a Ring doorbell 😂

[@beaubooks7287]

I have never met anyone who’s just as nosy in these kinds of situations as I am. This is refreshing 😂

[@beaubooks7287]

Also, the cat at 13:30 might be onto something 🕵️‍♂️

[@craftychicken12]

After watching a 45min Gav video, the best thing I heard in the video was the wonderful moment of....'I've got more comfy, so I'm in it for the long haul....I'm currently sitting in my sink." Hahaha Gav, never change. You make me laugh with the funny things you come out with.

[@SarahAtHeart]

Omg the drama, I would have been parked at that window with my book & coffee all day 👀

[@thestoryseekers]

I’m not even 10 mins in and I can’t help gush how much I love Gavin and his antics. Best KZbinr ever❤😂

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Aw thank you 🥰🫶🏼

[@mjllw2000]

My impatient ass looking in the description and Gavin not having any of it 😂

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I’m too smart hehe

[@leezirkle7840]

I am so excited for the Stephen King project. Keep us informed on your neighbors!

[@stegobookosaurusrawr4153]

Honestly, the neighbour drama!! The fact they leave their dogs for that long! Huskies too 😢

[@gabbyreads]

I am so invested in whatever is going on with your neighbors haha 👀 also I’m so excited for our video collabs!!! 😍

[@amandatedeski4515]

The way you were glued to that window had me cracking up 😂 I need to rewatch desperate housewives 👀

[@sarag.6057]

There was a cat outside when you where waiting on your “neighbors” 😍

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I can't believe I missed it when I was filming!!

[@jungtothehuimang]

Gavin I really hope those neighbors don't become an issue. That is so scary I home they will leave and someone who isn't a nutter will move instead.

[@MaryJoHeadrick]

“Too British” is such a funny reason to dnf something lol

[@gabbyreads]

I love how you do themed vlogs for Summerween it makes it so fun!!! 🥹💖👻

[@ellaperin]

I'd suggest doing a true crime and history blind book. It's a great way to discover some new things! Maybe it could be a new series? Do a blind book for each genre?

[@TheHexedLibrary]

You know we're all here for the neighbor drama and the silly cats! About running out of space for books, don't forget that your square cases with nostalgia books were stacked on both the front and the back so that takes up extra space! And your Manga were double stacked so that may be some of it too. I'm sure you'll figure out how to get all of it set up in a way that makes you happy!

[@_jo-jo_]

I'm so nervous, have you heard from your landlord yet and they've ok'd having your boys live with you? I'm hoping all is well and they've said it's fine. Congratulations on your new home, it looks lovely xxx

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Oh yes I should have mentioned in the vlog, but Ash and Tobu are absolutely fine to live here, it was just the estate agent scaring me on moving day cause they forgot to ask the landlord prior 🙃

[@_jo-jo_]

Fantastic news, I've been so worried 😊

[@Teainatophat]

Love how Ash and Tobu kept you company at the window 😆 pets do take after their owners 🤣 when something happens on my street I can always count on my cat being there with me and sometimes he’s at the window before I am 🤣 and loving the drama with the neighbours but hope the husky’s are okay. Also I’ve always wanted to go on a blind date with a book but the fear of getting a book I already own is holding me back 😅

[@gamezable3535]

I am hooked on this neighbour gossip 😂😂😂

[@kelley.s]

There are too many highlights in this vlog to pick a favorite 😂 love the blind date with a book theme! Happy Summerween 👻

[@Lillyandthelibrary]

I hope Tobu is a better gossip than Ash bc honestly the audacity of him not telling us what was going on! 🤣 I’m so happy for the three of you, you look so much more at peace in your videos from the new house!! 🫶

[@GwendolynKensinger]

The whole police bit is like watching a murder mystery unfold right before my eyes 😅

[@faith1517]

Listening to you tell us about the neighbors, I am thinking “this would be a great novel” 😆

[@1493crowe]

I'm INVESTED in the neighborhood drama!! This is better than Desperate Housewives ever was!! 👀

[@vanessajeffries4042]

Oh!! I love the tea time about the neighbors. Also, I definitely went to the description to see what the second book was and you got me. Haha!

[@sophiereads.x]

Haha I love this neighbour drama! Our neighbours are never ending drama, get yourself a ring camera and trust me you’ll never miss another moment 😂 love the vlog btw!! Love the idea of blind dates with books

[@liezllovesbooks]

Second-person, POV can be tough for me too in Books. I’m glad to see your cats are adjusting well to your new house

[@klaire74]

I've just seen you cats running in the hallway while you were making coffee, and then, the little one making biscuits, and i am done. Cuteness overload. I can't wait to see your library organized, and the reading room! ♥♥♥

[@shaunastock7940]

Loved the vlog! And I'm so happy to see you in your new home. Despite the neighbour drama, you genuinely look much happier and more relaxed!

[@penbeatssword7350]

Oh I need to know more about the neighbours! I love how one of your reasons for moving was the dodgy area and BAM immediate criminal neighbours 😂 I trust Slagatha Christie to get to the bottom of this mystery 🔎

[@megs_bookrack]

🎉🎉🎉 The new house looks so cozy. Every time I see you in that setting it makes me happy! I mean, the spacious kitchen alone ❤❤

[@agirlfrommars3441]

I love the new house it’s really refreshing to see that you have moved ❤ I’m so happy for you and that you no longer need to dwell on the previous situation. Fresh start and you and your fur babies can put down new roots! 🐾 😊

[@ashtonreads]

The Haunted Forest Tour is soooo good! Also as someone who has a very disruptive and loud neighbor who blasts music 24/7, I’m sending vibes that your neighbors are NOT as annoying as mine in the long run.

[@speaking_bookish]

I am so so happy for you- you seem so much happier in this new place already!!

[@Kite562reviews]

I always enjoy these vlogs you make Gavin. 🙂

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Thank you so much 🫶🏼

[@jamiemarsh3422]

You’re place is looking fantastic! You must keep us posted on the neighbors situation, I’m completely invested 👀. Excellent reviews as always!

[@booknerd369]

Gavin Reads Stephen King is going to ruin me omg I'm so excited 💜 happy you're settling in!

[@iceyreads7454]

Oh Gav how I've missed watching your vids! Never a boring moment with you my friend!!

[@arobinreads]

I'm so happy for you with the new house Gav, looks amazing ❤ hope the neighbour drama will calm down soon.

[@alyssadawn3]

Did I subscribe initially for tuxedo kitty content & neighborhood drama…yes! Did I also subscribe for you and your lovely personality? Also YES! 😊

[@shannamccarthy]

Please give us an update on the neighbor next video I’m invested and sooo nosey😭❤️

[@dracaryslace]

Congrats on your new pad, Gav!! ❤ Great video for my Sunday afternoon

[@PistachioGold]

SO invested in the neighbour mystery ❤ and yay for summerween ❤❤🎉

[@avengerbookmark1426]

Oh, gosh. I'm so sorry you don't have better neighbors than before. Other than that, I hope everything turns out well and better with your new home than the old place. 💜

[@Bookworm_smanff]

You make me laugh SO MUCH. The house is looking great xx

[@mandy87583]

I'm very excited about your upcoming Stephen King series! 😁

[@anikamercier2651]

This was fun to watch!!

[@dawnnicholson9675]

The new place looks lovely.. even drama going on, on the doorstep..never a dull moment! 😂

[@knjscorpio]

I am so invested in what's going on with your neighbors lol

[@KittyDice]

I like how much more homely this new house looks! Congrats on that! Also, those books sound interesting, although I don't think I could ever read the Poppy Z Bride one sounds like too much for me 😬

[@eviechatsandchapters]

Can’t wait for your vlogs! I loved this one… maybe you could use GhostTube vox on your night time vlog 👀👀👀👻👻❤️❤️

[@shannyy_4]

Gavin, a Summerween vlog & neighbourhood drama! My evening made👌😂❤️

[@SarahAsYouWish]

Love your vlogs. Someone You Can Build a Nest In was so wonderfully weird. The audiobook narration added to the dark humor of it.

[@meloveschocolate]

I literally *need* day 3 now! Like the drama, omg 🤣🖤

[@itskatehill]

It seems like you're already so much happier there in your new place! So happy for you!

[@minimalqueen7523]

This video had great vibes. Love the new house. Congrats!

[@kandi_canel.5730]

I had sooooooo much fun watching this vlog!!!!! I'm reading Clowns in the Corn Field 2 for summerween!

[@alissajoelle5443]

I have neighbors just like that and am also super nosy lol can’t wait to see more Summerween videos!

[@banrions]

i think i remember Willow Talks Books has read and rec'ced the Boatman's Daughter! she really liked it and convinced me to put it on my tbr.

[@firewhiskeyreader8257]

I love the drama with the police and you investigating. It's incredible.

[@firewhiskeyreader8257]

(I am sorry you're dealing with that though!! Based on all you said, I lean toward the squatters explanation.)

[@holabooks]

Gavin, you’re living in a mystery/thriller with everything going on next door! This was such a fun vlog 🫶🏻

[@acorntea5585]

What a great introduction to your new neighbourhood lol. I'm intrigued, I wonder what happened. Also those horror packages look so nice I'd be tempted to keep them unwrapped as decorations.

[@matthewclarke]

Loved the mystery books concept. I have Boys in the Valley on my TBR so I’m interested to hear your thoughts on that one.

[@ReadingNymph]

The drama! Im so intrigued to see if there will be any more developments 👀

[@jenreadslottie3367]

Totally invested in the neighbor story! Perfect time to happen during summerween lol

[@andshereads]

Soo glad you have a kitchen worth using now! I tend to forget to eat (yay autism) and having a decent kitchen really changed that for me. It's habit now to go cook and then eat where when my kitchen was worthless I barely ate.

[@MariyaVD]

Oh King is my favorite autor. I can't wait for those videos!

[@CheDeco15]

I’m loving The Haunted Forest Tour so far so I’m excited to see what you think of that one! 💜

[@cuppa.books.]

Love seeing you so settled in the new place and obviously want all the neighbour gossip 😂

[@cassandrahiggins7780]

Because one.. I was being really nosy…😂😂😂😂😂love it!

[@LeoGirl80]

The way I’m SUPER INVESTED in the hot neighborhood goss!!!! You looking out of the windows and asking Ash what the tea is is such relatable content because that is my kinda carrying on, as the kids say lol. I’m so glad you’re settling into the new place and LOVE your new kitchen!!!! ❤

[@ossswin]

38:25 OMG ME TOO GAV! even just thinking of veins makes me feel like i'm gonna boke i haaaaate it

[@oytser7952]

Omg your neighbor drama reminded me of those tiktok videos of someone telling a crazy story and ending it by saying it is the plot of a book they're recommending. What an interesting first week there!

[@cindywingetbooks]

Thanks for all the tea on the neighbors! 😂 However, you are mean for not sharing that second book right away! Love the spellbook! I have only read Boys in the Valley and i loved it.

[@AliDoisRead]

idk if I'd have the patience to wait to open those for a video 😂 very impressed by your self control! Also what a fun idea!

[@SheeshAleesh0718]

I can’t wait for the King series!! He is one of my faves for sure. I prefer his longer works. Most people seem to either prefer his short stories or his long form, not a ton of ppl like both. He is also amazing on Twitter lol

[@galaxiesofbooks]

trust Gavin to have all the tea 😂

[@judithcakelover]

Love how you 3 love the new house. 🥰 And that wooden bookshelve!😍It looks so beautifull😍

[@christina8418]

I love your stories 😂

[@GavinReadsItAll]

@@christina8418 is it too much to ask for a quiet life? 😂

[@tanyaembly7630]

I love it when you said I am nosey lls. I feel you tho also got to know your good with the neighborhood lol. I feel like I'm there with you, I need to know what's going on myself I'm invested 😂

[@Steph_W]

All the spooky neighbors stuff has me wanting to recommend the movie “The Burbs” to you. Tom Hanks has creepy neighbors.

[@wildatheart5180]

I loved this vlog. You look like your loving your home that great to see .also I would totally be doing the same hanging out in window trying find out the tea sorry wait for my Costa. Xxx

[@tawnyachristensen7310]

Hope things have settled down in the new neighborhood!

[@megs_bookrack]

Also, I can't tell you how anxious I am for you to read The Boys in the Valley ❤

[@kelleylovesbooks5688]

This video made me join your Patreon! I felt like I was watching myself watching you be nosy in the neighborhood. It could have been me except in California with two pups instead of meow meows. I was cracking up!111
