"The whole video is cancelled. They're not getting my money today." Peak petty and I love it

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Haha I am very good at being petty sometimes 😂

[@LudvigReads]

My favorite types of videos: book shopping and/or library visits :D Please continue take us with you! (I am also excited to read Lonely castle in the mirror so I hope you enjoy it)

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I love those types of videos too!

[@KatieColson]

Aw you two are so sweet. I felt like I was at the bookstore with y’all, ha

[@LadetteM]

Ali having a fascination with skulls? Never. 💀💀 All the gothic and spooky books have me wishing it was Halloween season already!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Here here 🥂

[@ashleyosborn5983]

OMG you singing Toxic Gossip Train 🤣

[@GavinReadsItAll]

The locomotive's fuelled with hateful accusations 🙌🏼

[@christy-anne-jones]

Yessssss hope you love Lonely Castle in the Mirror 💛💛

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

The pettiness of giving Forbidden Planet the middle finger because they didn't have the new volume of one piece 😂😂

[@GavinReadsItAll]

and it was my fault cause it’s not out in the UK yet haha I’m a clown

[@Bookishandcaffeinated]

That poor book store not time traveling and getting it sooner for you 😂

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Tell me about it, disgusting behaviour 😂

[@YarnReader]

Oh my gosh, I love you both so much. This just brightened my day.

[@BecxReadz]

Love visiting bookstores with friends ❤

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I want to go book shopping with Gavin so bad. Great company.

[@welshreader]

This was such a fun video! Loved seeing you and Ali together and you also got some amazing sounding books🤩

[@books-on-a-wire]

I could never go to a UK bookstore. Not only would I want all the new books, but all the more superior UK covers of the books I own! 😂

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

Yay! This is going to be the peak chaos we all need

[@theshadiclub]

I was hooked on this video. I love books too and your humour! 😊

[@BookishGecko]

Honestly it being pushed back wouldn’t surprise me, so many of my preorders have been pushed back which is fine but when they all end up being pushed back to the same month as a whole bunch of other preorders it’s really frustrating lmao. Also that book that is perfect for skulduggery pleasant fans is going on my list of books to get my mum, she loves skulduggery pleasant so much so thank you for showing it. Allie is such a lovely person and it definitely looks like hanging with you two would be a blast!

[@ReadingNymph]

Hahaha it looked like you had an amazing time! Great book choices as well, I read Lonely Castle in the Mirror and thought it was a nice story portraying difficulties of growing up, the effects of bulling but with an uplifting found family

[@foreverpumpkin7776]

This looks so fun. I haven't been book shopping in person in ages 💜

[@beckyduff]

This looks like so much fun! I need more bookish friends to go shopping with!

[@christirandazzo3769]

This was the cutest vlog. I love Ally’s channel so much those bookstores look phenomenal. I have driven 200 miles out of my way, and still have never found any bookstores that look like those. I would not have any control in any of those stores. I would’ve needed six tote bags. Loved this great job putting this together. 😉💕

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Hell hath no fury like Gavin not getting the new volume of ‘One-Piece’

[@melaniefraser8827]

Love this duo! I’m going to London in a couple of weeks and hoping to visit some of the shops you visited esp Forbidden Planet it looks massive compared to the others I’ve visited

[@Kite562reviews]

Book shopping with these 2 looks chaotically enjoyable! 😊❤📚

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Chaos did ensue for sure 😂

[@stegobookosaurusrawr4153]

Ahhh you're visiting all my regular stores! This vlog is so cute! I love Ally

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I love her too 🥰

[@XOXOLOLA100]

You’re giving me the most wholesome positive vibes- so happy to stumble upon your channel 😊

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Thank you so much, and welcome in!

[@amy_harboredinpages8272]

This vlog made me so happy!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I feel like I know more about London book stores that I will never be able to go for the foreseeable future.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Happy to help 🥰

[@racheltfisher]

Watching this in the morning before work 🥰😍

[@kelseytaylor6314]

I love you!!! I wish I knew you were in London! I would of said hi😢❤❤❤love uuuuu

[@gabbyreads]

I adore you both so much this video is so fun 🥹💗

[@CompletelyMelanie]

I've gotten to meet Ali a few times and even had her on a couple of lives on my channeI and she is absolutely lovely. 🥰

[@colby_kafka]

One Piece vol. 103 is released in US and countries that have Kinokuniya at 4th July but it will release at UK and other countries at 3rd August unfortunately.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Disgusting (but thank you so much for letting me know that, I am so sad I have to wait)

[@colby_kafka]

@@GavinReadsItAll You're welcome.

[@MichaelaChristineReads]

I recently bought Every One In My Family Has Killed Someone and I am so excited to read it!

[@Kittyzero13426]

I love a good book shopping video. ^_^ Looks like so much fun.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Book shopping is always a good time 🥰

[@EMM_84]

Thank you! Dust jacket flaps make perfect book marks! I switch to the back flap at the midway point so they dont get too bent. If I take off the dust jacket my cat will find a way to destroy it. Thanks for the bookstore tour. Its fun to see the all the different ones.

[@samanthawelsh3968]

not book related but in the b&m store in the childrens toys there was collectable One Piece figures, in those blind bag styles

[@bookaholicbanter]

Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone was so much fun! I'm adding Death Of A Bookseller to my tbr. That bookstore looked amazing!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Love me some Ali 🥹🥹 y’all look like you had so much fun

[@MoneBoomx3]

Awesome! I'm going to London in November and am already taking some notes 😂🫡 It's gonna be my 3rd time but this time alone and I will shop the hell out of these stores! I had no idea Foyles has OnePiece figures! Need to make sure to bring my biggest suitcase 😂😂

[@sw3dge]

Decagon is a lot of fun. I was hoping you picked it up when I saw it in the vlog.

[@zoelaird3354]

Magical Boy is SO good! I highly recommend.

[@horror-sickness]

OMG I loved this so much and I am niot jealous at all 😭😭 When I go shopping in the UK I want way too many things. Good thing this year I am taveling to YALC by train so I can carry more. Hope to se you there again :)

[@jodecisweet]

Loving this vlog!!! All of that’s in my area where I work but I only go in once a week. You would be such fun to bookshop with

[@GavinReadsItAll]

WE would have a lot of fun book shopping, I'm sure we'd get in trouble

[@jodecisweet]

⁠@@GavinReadsItAllyour level of self control with book shopping seems a bit more sane than mine, I would have to be reeled in, I’m a bad influence 😂

[@ashleyscozybookcorner5577]

❤❤hope all is well! Thanks for your hard work & efforts on your videos!!!!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

All is very well thank you, I hope you're doing brilliantly ❤

[@ashleyscozybookcorner5577]

Thank you so much glad you're well!!

[@thisisabookchannel]

i just finished The Decagon House Murders! would love to hear your thoughts also, learning hiragana and katakana before i went to Japan helped immensely, i would recommend that as well as simple phrases

[@jaimemo5893]

This makes me watch to travel again and go to all the different bookstores across the world. I don't know why but the wall of One Piece amazed me. 103 volumes is so much to me. I'm used to manga being only 20-25 volumes.

[@pixieh.5597]

I've bought 8 books in Foyles today😂. From antiquity to middle grade😊

[@moonbook12]

Wicked not children sedation remind me in everytime in my chain bookstore in my current country that is happening every time I see a ya in the adult sedation & oprahside

[@chaptercarys]

I think I spend too much time book shopping because I recognised every store from the intro alone 🤣

[@GavinReadsItAll]

The stores were fully stocked so you need to start buying more 👏🏼

[@chaptercarys]

@@GavinReadsItAll mission accepted ✨

[@emilyreads5207]

I loved the Decagon House Murders. Hope you enjoy it, too!

[@hannahwallis1290]

Love this!

[@SignedbySanne]

I LOVED lonely castle in the mirror

[@shannondoahhhh]

I literally NEED you to read Haunting Adeline... I will accept an audiobook review 😌

[@teenathomas7057]

If you get Magical Boy 1 then you have to get 2 so you read them back to back, soo good!!!

[@Brettscartoons]

I went book shopping in Nottingham recently, that was fun. I think you might like it 😄 I am also reading dracula for the first time in October AND in going whitby on Halloween! Perfect place to Finnish my book 😁 (Yes it takes me ages to read 😂 im not the page master like you)

[@dreammaster495]

Your reaction to Wicked was a toned down version of my reaction to seeing Lolita in the YA section at Borders back in the day

[@abic8560]

Foyles Charing Cross is one of my favourite bookshops in London! You should try Gay's the Word in Holborn too

[@traceyvince258]

some good choices there. did you know kaylynn bayron has a middle grade book coming out called the vanquishers and i pre ordered it as it is about vampires can't wait to read it. you looked like you had so much fun

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Thanks for the heads up Tracey

[@HollysBookishRealm]

I'd love to be able to go out with a bookish friend (I have none), vlog, and have the best day ever! But apart from having no friends that are book mad like me (in fact I actually have none at all), anxiety is such a b!tch to me socially xD May be an adventure for me one day for my YT channel & TikTok ☺💯

[@MrRorosuri]

I adore Ali 's channel . So cool ❤

[@GavinReadsItAll]

She has the best channel, and her Twitch is amazing too

[@ReadAllTheBooks]

IT’S MOM AND DAD!!!

[@mmanderso]

LOVE seeing you with Ali!!! you guys are so cute. Is she gonna go to Japan with you?

[@CoffeeQueen90]

Would love to read Coming to Japan. Would love to learn different languages.

[@dorkphoenixrising]

I really enjoyed You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight - hope you do too! Gave me Point Horror vibes

[@Kim_Music_books_racing_fan]

I can't believe I resisted watching this until after I got home from errand running. If I'd caved, I would've ended up with more than just the one book I bought at library sale, lol. Now, I can start on a list for next time.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Haha sooo maybe a good thing you waited to watch this one 😂

[@Parasyte316]

Seeing Gavin become a full blown weeb brings a tear to my eye🥹 One of us! One of us!

[@nonbinarychaoticstupid6678]

saw homestuck on a shelf and when i tell you my stomach dropped

[@Manga_Swag]

This looks like a good book store & Alie looks just as wacky live as on pre recorded video

[@faithsrandomvidsbookvlogs4204]

I need friends like this. That and money😅❤

[@elisabarfuss3358]

Your videos are the best! I just wanted to let you know that!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Aw thanks so much!

[@Elisabeht-Swan]

@HowTrainYourGavin Japanese is a difficult language to learn but I wish you a speedy progress. Also remember most words are in 2 syllable and short sounding. Like Ya-ma-to and not Yaamaatou, it is not like how you say tomato as an example. I hope my description helped and best of luck.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

3:26 SO CUTE HAHA

[@nadinebenjamin1882]

Gavin, you should give the manga - 10 Dance a try. It's soooo good!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Already have! Read the first volume in a yaoi vlog last year, really enjoyed it 🥰

[@nadinebenjamin1882]

@@GavinReadsItAll Nice! I'm gonna have to go back and watch that video🤩

[@andieland1923]

Only one I've read is Everyone in My Family has Killed Someone and I really liked it, I gave it 4 stars. It did take me a bit to get into it but it's so good.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Oooo perfect you have me excited!

[@StarzyRose]

Ali and Gavin in the same video??? 🥰

[@GavinReadsItAll]

All this video needed was you to be complete ❤️

[@StarzyRose]

@@GavinReadsItAll 😭 Literally got my first adult passport last week so I’ll get travelling eventually.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

If there’s Toiletbound in the title, it’s very sus already 😂

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Bareback Boulder? Ma’am, this is a Nando’s.

[@SerenaRosetail]

if you are looking for a good LGBTQIA+ manga series, Hirano and Kagiura is a rly good one. It follows two roommates in college and one falls in love with said roommate and he struggles trying to tell him how he feels

[@judithcakelover]

They wouldnt have gotten my money either! How can they not have it!?😮

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Haha I really should have checked release date first 😂

[@judithcakelover]

It was out already, I got it with the mail. Maybe the first print is sold out already?

[@melissaguild1859]

I also wasn't a fan of They Both Die At The End. Was beginning to think it was just me lol

[@GavinReadsItAll]

You have found friends ❤️

[@alik7064]

I absolutely loved Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone!!!!

[@christine_and_bean]

"Do they actually fight?" "Yeah. They fight with their dicks." ✨Perfect friendship recs I want to be a part of✨

[@ThatSpoonieTransGuy]

You went bookshopping in London and didn't go to Gay's the word? 👀

[@katrinamuritala3207]

Wow no middle grade gavin xx

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Not today, however I have hauled middle grade books the past couple of weeks!

[@mikanchan322]

Ahh I saw Wotakoi! 🥹 The wholesomest romance anime/manga (and actually about working adults).
