Reading the Angus, Thongs series in 24 hours | Drinking By My Shelf

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Erlack! I forgot to say in this video but we are SO lucky and grateful to have such a nice place to stay at our parents’ house, and most of all to have access to outside space during this lockdown. We are thinking a lot about people who aren’t so lucky, and hope that making cheery videos like this can be our contribution to help keep people smiling.

[@VEDIC_MYSTICISM]

How can I send you my novel for review????

[@ryanb3665]

The How to Train Your Dragon books would be a great read for another 24 hour read a thon since they’re the perfect length for this, and the growth and development is fun over a short period of time. Also, they’re very funny.

[@alexiscardenas9147]

Little house of the prairie, Anne of green gables, and heartland!

[@verityuj9325]

I am literally in AWE that you two can read at the same speed! Loved this challenge so much and that game was such a fun addition!

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

We were so surprised that we read at the same speed too!

[@bambinakatarina]

I wish I could do this with my sister but we are completely incompatible 😂

[@goodnight-moon564]

Bambina Katarina Same 😅😂

[@InkandPages]

Wish you and me read at the same speed 😅

[@ElmosWorld54368]

Your dad laughing while reading the book is the cutest!

[@val-he2mt]

I think I'm too young to know that Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging was a freaking book, like wtf. I just remembered the movie because a kiss scene where there was too much saliva involved left me TRAUMATIZED... I still haven't get over it

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Hahahaha YES. I had to cut down the footage for time but the opening of this originally involved us talking about that exact gross scene and also how much we hate the movie overall!

[@PSYCHOreader624]

@@DrinkingByMyShelf These could totally be longer!! I loved every minute!

[@jessicawatson7360]

Drinking By My Shelf yep, defo should have left that footage in, that would’ve been so funny.

[@paperbackdreams]

this was adorable, incredible, excellent, etc!! i love these videos and am in awe of both of your abilities to stay awake for so long! 🤩

[@lenie5402]

Dave the laugh is friends with Ellen’s brother, which is why they both use the same terms

[@ncityna]

Literally sad that me and my sister isn’t like this. I love reading and she doesn’t.

[@seobscript]

omg omg I watched your other 24 hour readathon together this morning and I was like “they are so cute I really hope they do another one” 🥺🥺💖

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

jenica. Perfect timing!

[@BishyFiveSogafi]

oh man i had the general horn for dave the laugh when i read those books and probably still a little when i reread them when i got older aha

[@GreenBitterfly]

I always thought he seemed so lovely and ideal boyfriend material if he was real!

[@seobscript]

oh my gosh i love this so much 😭😭 you guys are like the perfect sisters, i feel like i’m at a sleepover staying up with you

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Yay!!

[@roxanebarbey1394]

"We're back!" = instant joy :D

[@spaceesong]

my favourite sister relationship! absolutely adore this video. definitely watch the movie!

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Hahah I had to cut it cause it was too long but the first draft opened with my rant on how much I hate the film 😂😂😂 sorryyyyy

[@alanisgonzalezperez]

I love your sister relationship. This was one of the sweetest videos I have seen. Makes me want to start a readathon with my sister 💕🥰

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Do it!!!

[@yoanagenova6233]

3 years later and I still come back ocasionally to watch one of the best youtube videos!

[@annabananabones08]

You both remind me of my sister and I. We are super close and we adored these books. Bless you both ❤️ P.s. Your Dad's laugh gave me a morsel of serotonin. Thank him for me, please

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

His laugh is SO infectious isn’t it!

[@SoYouReallyWantToLearnLatin]

Anna Vogel yay! You’re very welcome!

[@callielafleur4673]

These readathon videos bring me such joy. I'm almost mad at myself for not saving it for later! Can't wait for the next one 😂

[@MazzyDairies]

i absolutely loveeeeee these 24 hour readathons with your sister. i watch both of them all the time! they r so funny and entertaining! please please please please do more of them!!!!

[@Angela-bw7sn]

I was so surprised to find out that the girl from the Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging movie is having a baby with Rupert Grint.

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

I know right?!!

[@jessicawatson7360]

Angela wow

[@jessicawatson7360]

Has she been in anything else?

[@jwinkies3011]

Reading vlogs are great, but adding the "you got got" challenge made it even better! Can this be a new thing?

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

SVEN! AND DAVE THE LAUGH! Those are literally the only things I really remember about this series. Her cousin fanciers her? And briefly accuses her dad of fancying her? This series is crazy :P I loved this series when I was younger but thinking back on it, it was a very random series and not at all the best. My preteen self loved it though because she seemed so much 'older' and wiser than me and was doing all the things my introverted book nerd self was certainly not doing :P I love the game you played throughout this and you nailed it!! Loved the vlog x

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

The series is absolutely MAD haha!

[@theredheadisreading2251]

You riding the lawn mower made me laugh out loud! I’d only read the first in this series and seen the movie. I really enjoyed this vlog!

[@kelanjo19]

You guys!!!! 🥰 I love these videos for so many reasons - they are such a tonic - so lighthearted and fun. What a gorgeous home you have too I love seeing little snippets of it and daydreaming one day I’ll have a house like that. Your dad is literally the sweetest when laughing at the books 😅 The main reason I love these videos so much is because they really remind me of me and my best friend who passed away suddenly in December. We were like sisters and when we were younger I was blonde, she was brunette and we used to be silly and fun and read together just like this. I don’t know watching you two together just brings me comfort and reminds me of those times I had with her. Can’t wait for the next one! 🌻 Xxxx

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Oh Kelly I’m so sorry you lost your best friend, I can’t even imagine. I’m so glad little snippets of this vid can make you smile though!

[@SydneyKirsch27]

This might be the cutest thing I've ever witnessed

[@hollybridgens8507]

Do more please I love ur 24 hour redathons so much I’ve watched all of them I love seeing you doing them with Sophie aswell

[@moonymilquetoast]

this is the kind of wholesome content i needed, thank you! also it got me thinking of a similar series girl, 15 by sue limb - not as many books as this but i just adored them and wanted to know if anyone else grew up reading them?

[@jessicawatson7360]

moonymilquetoast agreed! Interesting, never heard of this series.

[@prafonity]

I've been calling my parents mutti and vati since I read this is seventh grade lmaooooo

[@MinaReads]

"the general horn" is like the funniest description of a personality i've ever heard dfdlskjfdkjf

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Mina Reads Hahahah I know right there are so many hilariously quotable things from that series

[@georgiasguidetogettingby6844]

So excited about this! You’ve inspired me and my friend to do a 24 hour readathon of one of our favourite childhood series on Monday ! 🎉

[@victoriapostlethwaite29]

Georgia Henderson yaaassss! I’m so excited both for this video and our readathon!

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Eeee which books are you reading?

[@georgiasguidetogettingby6844]

Drinking By My Shelf we’re going to relive the Twilight Saga 😂 very excited about it! Would love to do one like this with Angus Thongs or Princess Diaries in the future, they look like such a fun read !

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Georgia Henderson omg Twilight such a great idea!! Will you be vlogging it?

[@georgiasguidetogettingby6844]

Drinking By My Shelf no! I wish! I would love to make a KZbin and do things like this but even the thought makes me anxious 😂 maybe one day. We’re also in quarantine currently (in New Zealand) so we can’t see each other so it’ll mostly be taking place over video chat so probably not the most entertaining content

[@betweenlewislovecraft1500]

Oh my gosh I LOVED this series so much. Louise Rennison was such a brilliant writer ❤

[@larissa8309]

i'm sure this might be exausting, but i really love these videos, so, please, make as many as you guys can

[@iamaliseya]

You guys should read the Gallagher Girl series next! Just reread it recently for the first time in years and it’s great! Also, your reading pace is phenomenal! Even though those books are pretty short, and I’d consider myself a decently fast reader, I’d still have trouble reading all 10 in such a short amount of time.

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

iamaliseya I’ve never heard of the Gallagher Girl series! What’s it about?

[@riella_reads]

I used to love that series! Totally forgot about it until just now

[@iamaliseya]

Drinking By My Shelf It’s about a group of teenage girls at a boarding school for spies. Very fun and entertaining reads. There are only 6 books in the series so they’re super quick to get through. If you’re a fan of quirky/cheesy adventure books, then you should definitely try them out! 😊

[@interghost]

Your best videos by far are these ones with your sister, love them. As I said before, I dont like the books you read together, but I love the interactions and the banter you both have. Great video, and really liked the game you played too. Seems fun! (PS - Your sister is still gorge!)

[@showtimesynergy87]

ah!!!!!! This is my favorite series! I reread the whole series every year and love it so much!!!!

[@155books]

THIS WAS AWESOME!!! I read the entire series growing up and I still own them and this has made me want to reread them so much! I remember ‘Startled by His Fury Shorts’ being one of the best in the series (especially because of the ending!!!). I love the relationship you have with one another and this was honesty so joyous to watch 😍💗

[@cynthiagarcia9316]

I love these readathons!!! I wish you guys should do 'The Clique' or 'Pretty Little Liars' series next

[@alexandrapatchen6067]

I've been waiting for this

[@GreenBitterfly]

I loved this series when I was younger, most of my original copies never matched but I quite like that. I reread the first two books just after Louise Rennison died, but would like to reread the whole series after seeing this video and Jen Campbell's video about the Georgia Nicolson series.

[@bookishshenanigans4769]

Your Dad's laugh is so cute. I love these videos so much, thank you for making me smile :)

[@ekramababneh5805]

This was hands down one of the best videos I've ever watched on KZbin! Amusing, entertaining, hilarious! I wholeheartedly loved this video!

[@phoebe_min]

There will never be a better and more fun readathon than this! I binge watch you and sister all the tine! Give us more ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mandyd2h530]

I read the first 2 books in this series so many years ago. I love these readathons you & your sister do - they are my favorite videos!

[@eviepollard4663]

Just thought I’d let you know that when your dog came on screen, I burst out crying. I’ve never seen a cuter dog. Thank you.

[@eviepollard4663]

Hippo btw^^^^

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Yesssss she’s lovely

[@alexiscardenas9147]

I’ve been binging you guys this week and I wish I had a sister who would read with me 😭😭😭

[@literarydiversions]

Okay, I literally stopped everything in my entire house to put this on and watch it all the way through. My face now hurts from laughing, my dogs have absolutely no idea why I'm gyrating about the living room doing weird dance steps, and I'm right back to being scared to read any more books in that series. This was literally the BEST and I loved being there for some of it on the live. 👏👏👏 Thank you for being awesome (and being the one Booktube vid this past week that hasn't gone on my huge Watch Later list)!!! xxx

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Woooooo!!!!!

[@holly9240]

Your parent’s house is GOALS

[@PumpkinMozie]

You two are amazing. Emma has the best booktube channel of them all haha

[@martha7157]

Yes!!! I've not watched this yet but yesterday I watched the last one and was hoping so much that you'd do another! 😱

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Great timing!

[@amyd714]

Georgia Nicolson and the Princess Diaries are very popular here in South Africa 😄 🇿🇦 they’re childhood favorites of mine too! ❤️

[@EmilyDavina]

loved this!❤️ I remember reading these when I was younger, what a throwback! What better way to spend 24 hours in isolation than reading! ☺️✌🏼

[@andreavanjaarsveld1734]

I absolutely loved this!! Thank you for keeping our spirits up during these strange times 🙈 we're also currently in lockdown in South Africa... Hope you and your sister are doing really well ❤️ virtual cheers 🍺 xx

[@lauraflynn7772]

You both are so funny and it’s so heartwarming to watch you do these challenges in these difficult times!

[@Elosabeth]

This is one series I haven't read since childhood and it was so fun re-living it with you both! I may need to have a marathon now too...

[@aceybee943]

I love the videos you do with your sister! Your team-24h reading challenges are always so much fun to watch and I love the editing on them! Great work and excellent entertainment as always xx

[@MegBookishRamblings]

Yay another Sister reading vlog and guest appearance of Hippo! I really enjoyed watching this vlog and the books sound like lots of fun to read. Thank you for bringing such humor and a very welcome distraction. Also, love your Dad's laugh!

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

His laugh is so infectious isn't it!

[@thalianurul]

Me being an only child and imagining having a sister through this video. How much fun would it be to be able to read together with your sibling in this self isolation period. So, these videos are absolutely my favorite from your channel, I hope you and your sister will keep making it.

[@WonderfullyBookish]

Yesss I was waiting for this!! As usual you've made we want to reread them all. I listened to them as audiobooks and Louise Rennison read them herself, and they're so great. I just realised they're all on Scribd so I know what I'm doing today!

[@delphiniumreads3063]

I love your 24-h readathons! Especially with your sister. So fun and exactly the hilarious content I love watching right now! Hope you are doing well and taking care!

[@roseofoulesfame]

I absolutely love these books, seeing you guys enjoying them was a delight!

[@TheLitReviewForBooks]

I love these 24-hour videos so much! It makes me want to go back and do rereads of some of my childhood favorites-I even bought the first book in The Princess Diaries series recently based on your last one.

[@zaravive5809]

I love these so much. I have no idea WHAT exactly it is, but I watched both of these several times already. The concept, the 3am insanity, your individual personalities, your joint dynamic, even the setting of that gorgeous house, cameos of various family members (human or otherwise), the giggles and games. All of it is just the perfect culmination. I adore it! I’m gonna hope that you’ll decide to make more things together in the future, that’s for sure. Thank you!!

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

We'll definitely do more things together - I'm so glad you enjoyed this!

[@waldverwachsen]

Hahaha I love your videos! Your family seems to be so much fun! Thanks for taking us with you!

[@margaridaferreira8029]

You make me envy so much girls that have sisters!! I only have 1 brother, 11 years older than me, so even though we were close growing up ever since he moved out when I was on the 7th grade we were never this close again. You both are so lucky!

[@ncsxo]

I loved these books as a teenager and read them heaps but when I moved house 2 years ago I decided to donate them to make more room. This video reminded me how much I loved them! They are available on Scribd though so I may have to have another read for old times sake! (Also: Hippo is adorable! I have a staffy and they’re the best!)

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Yesssss staffies!

[@nikwolf7722]

I can't explain why but the shot of you reading on the lawnmower had me literally laughing out loud for several minutes - this whole video was hilarious!

[@agardenofink3000]

I LOVE THIS!! I remember loving these books but remember very little 😛

[@YourTrueShelf]

So bloody good, so cheerful, so funny, I love these readathons!! Always edited so well too. Absolutely cheered me up! Thank you! And what a beautiful setting 🙂 xx

[@hazanihtiyar348]

I read the first 4 for this video so that’s how dedicated I am. ✋🏻 I stopped when it got repetitive and thought I could always go back to the series to move forward when I miss a good silly laugh. I love sisters and I loved Libby! I loved how she was a soft spot for Georgia.

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Such dedication!!

[@heynowgirl]

I'm so glad you guys did this series! It's one of my favorites!

[@ICaughtTheSnitch26]

Please do more of these with your sister! These are so fun! 😊

[@jenciescully935]

awww I love your dad he is so sweet. seeing him giggling reading the first book was so cute. my dad would never lmaoo😂😂😂

[@MRMZ12345]

Wow, this was adorable and amazing! I remember reading the first couple books a few years ago - after watching the movie and loving it. I found the books hard to follow along to, but you guys inspired me to give them another go!

[@RachaelFryman]

I love this series! I might have to spend a full day re-reading it now, too, that looked like so much fun!!

[@rinapereira]

I love your readathon videos!! I wish I had someone to do this with me, but my brother doesn't like books as much as I do

[@mandymoriconi3376]

binge the percy jackson series together! that'd be so much fun

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Hahahah see all the other comments about this 😂

[@auroraallen7706]

Have you ever read Withering Tights before? I'm pretty sure its a spin off from this series revolving around Georgia's cousin. I don't remember much from reading them but I found them pretty hilarious.

[@lushouslucy14]

Came across your channel yesterday and have been binge watched loads of your videos. Im an only child and watching you two together just makes me wish I had a sister :) x

[@mitzidayball549]

You and your sister are a riot. Loving your videos

[@joana8568]

These videos are awesome! Have you considered doing the same with Adrian Mole? Or Narnia? That would be lovely to watch!

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Narnia is definitely on my list!

[@evieproductions8600]

You don’t understand how long I was waiting for this xxxxx

[@jack_8061]

Glad to see you're staying safe during this chaotic time- videos like this help us all cope while we're stuck inside.

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

I’m so glad it helps!!

[@crystalcovarrubias2858]

I absolutely love your sister dynamic! These are my favorite videos ✨💞

[@natashamarie2952]

I've been so looking forward to this video! Such a fun one, I really enjoy these 24 hours readathons.

[@jennsbookshelf_]

I've now watched this twice over - and every time when you say the Colin Frizzle part I cackle out loud :D Favourite movie ever! I adore your videos. Hope your long weekend was incredible!

[@adotburr6494]

Oh I wish I had friends to do this with irl! You guys just seem so genuine and fun

[@hayley581]

I enjoy these videos so much:) Keep making more 24 hour series videos!

[@shanawilson1178]

[@katehowereads]

These reading vlogs are so awesome, Emma! Such fun to watch.

[@maggierose8608]

I LOVE THESE VIDEOS SO MUCH! They make me so happy!

[@PadmeHum523]

I absolutely adore these videos, and I'm so inspired to try reading an entire series in 24 hours! Besides the three book series that you've read, what other series would you recommend for a 24-hour challenge? Thank you so much!!

[@shaniquasumby5236]

I love your readathon videos with your sister. can you do more .

[@paradiseaflame]

MY FAVES. HELLO. 🥳 and yes yes that series so funny-fits in perfectly with the last series you two read together.

[@connorslibrarycorner4996]

Absolutely loved this video 😂😂 this is the content I live for

[@teaspoones]

This is such an awesome video and made smile/laugh so much! :D You both are hilarious and made me want to read the books. I was obsessed with the film when it was released (aw sweet teenage me xD) but never read the books. Your dad’s laugh made me laugh too x)

[@mkmccord50]

You two are so fun! Way to make the most of a lockdown!

[@JMV1616]

I actually had the shoe thing happen to me except I was in my 20s and I was at a wedding drinking and doing blow for like 24 hours running around and my feet got so swollen I had to have the shoes cut off my feet

[@mikalareads]

These videos are so fun and precious and hilarious!!! Spending time with you guys is such a riot and like hanging out with friends! 💕💖💗
