That pigeon was sent by your landlord, because you wouldn’t tell him which clubs you go to😂

[@throneofpages]

the scream i just SCRUMPT i've got my coffee ready my ass is sat i am READY

[@GavinReadsItAll]

The chaos is perfect with that cup of coffee

[@throneofpages]

✨in terms of opening a second channel for manga: you're definitely not giving up you're adapting to the reality of the youtube algorithm and that shows you're resilient and willing to work hard for what you're passionate about 😩✊ ✨our sprints were genuinely so so fun i can't wait for future ones 🥹👉👈 ✨the kitty cams were my favorite part 🥹💘 ✨also not to be a hater but i hope that your soon to be ex-landlord has trouble sleeping for the rest of his life and his pillows are never cold and his food always has hair in it and his crackers are always stale

[@andshereads]

I love your usage of the word scrumpt.

[@mothdustdreams]

​@@throneofpages You have some creative curses there! I will unscrupulously steal them. Sadly I know many who deserve such things because they themselves are a pain to others.

[@alexagerteisen2697]

Gavin, don't feel sorry about making another channel dedicated to Manga. We love you regardless and want what's best for you. Those loyal to you will also subscribe to that channel and probably won't make a big fuss out of it. Much love from Kentucky, USA!

[@KittyxKult]

Omg I’m from ky too. Crazy how Gavin’s reach extends over here

[@alexagerteisen2697]

What region of KY?

[@KittyxKult]

@@alexagerteisen2697 around Lex! You?

[@alexagerteisen2697]

around Owensboro.

[@KittyxKult]

@@alexagerteisen2697 I don’t think I’ve ever been there, do yall have any good hiking trails or art places or anything like that?

[@kendrathomas4584]

No other book channel makes me LITERALLY laugh out loud like you do!

[@BBG06301]

Sending you the biggest bout of luck possible with the house, Gav! Hopefully you'll soon have the relief of knowing you're going to a better apartment with the kitties!

[@haley5803]

I hope you get the house! Also, don't apologize for a more chaotic vlog. Life is life, and I so appreciate your honesty in showing your life. We can't always be zen readers haha

[@livslibrary]

A lifestyle Gavin vlog + coffee = the perfect Sunday morning does exist! ☀

[@livslibrary]

ALSO PLEASE READ ANATOMY! I love it so much!!! 😍

[@Joint.n.Hollow]

Gavin sometimes when life just keeps hitting you it means major growth is coming. Definitely be transparent with your landlord and set boundaries! Tell him you’re not paying till the leaks get fixed and the apt becomes livable! Big hugs we love you ❤❤❤❤

[@Hillary429]

Omg you need to do a ✨ “co-star picks my reads” ✨ vlog Their daily messages are so unhinged!

[@MeganWoodard1984]

🥰I hope you got the house Gavin, I look forward to another journey with you. BTW that landlord sounded CREEPY, like breaking into your house and standing at the foot of your bed creepy. You have more patience than I would dealing w him the last 2 years.

[@juniebooks6113]

Firstly, I love your cats; they're super adorable. Secondly, I love your edits with sound effects; it's like music in movies to elevate and make scenes even better. Lastly, my fingers are crossed for good news regarding the new house. Sorry it was a stressful week; I hope this upcoming one is better!

[@eringolive]

As a Gavin lover but not a manga reader, I really like the second channel plan.

[@little.prince]

The most GLAMOROUS flop era to ever exist on booktube ✨

[@No8Named8Shadow]

Wow, this vlog felt like a Hitchcock thriller! As someone who hasn’t found a job in 5+ months I can relate to this stress.

[@Hillary429]

I’ve been there with the fleas girl!! The meds on their neck is key, every 30 days in the summer months. And you can never do enough laundry.

[@MarinaUz]

Fingers crossed you get the house! I hope everything picks up soon ❤

[@NoirEtBlanc86]

Hearing about your living struggles is so relatable. I have dealt with similar kinds of stress situations: from increased rent on crappy apartment and sh*ty landlord, to being harassed for an entire year my mentally ill neighbors (no joke, the owner told me my neighbor was mentally ill and I ignored it. Big mistake) I’m in therapy still dealing with my living situations. Just know you’re not alone. You have every right to want a better living situation. Also, don’t be afraid to go for the place you want because ya never know how well it can turn out for you. Good luck on your search 😊

[@andieland1923]

I have my fingers, toes, eyes, legs and everything else crossed that you get the place!!!

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

Not the homophobic pigeons 💀

[@BookishAdventuresInWellbeing]

Never have I wanted to reach through the screen and give someone a hug more. Hope you get good news on the house soon.

[@stegobookosaurusrawr4153]

Gosh when it rains, it pours! Hopefully there'll be a rainbow after all this rain!

[@emma3117]

i’m so happy you’re expanding with your new channel!! i don’t think there’s a world where this isn’t a great business decision! not only does it keep your videos on your main channel popular, but you’re also making manga more accessible in multiple ways!! supporting you 100% always! ❤

[@James_Cooper]

i love your videos and channel so much, your energy is just so infectious wishing you success in the new channel and moving, that situation with the landlord sounds so uncomfortable, good things will come. hope you have a great week

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Sorry to state the obvious but Gavin looks absolutely stunning. You’re one of our favourite cozy bois

[@4everTimber]

Good luck with your apartment hunt! I’m currently in a similar situation and my landlord is also a POS racist, sexist prick. I had an incident last week and as a POC woman, he was incredibly nasty & made me cry to the point where my dad had to come down and set him straight. So hoping and praying for better situations for the both of us✨ #screwourlandlords

[@emryborge7027]

Fleas are the worst. I nearly lost my mind two years ago when we tried to get rid of them, and the worst part was after we deflead my cat and all those fleas couldn’t bite him anymore and started biting us😭 I also apparently had allergies to flea bites because only I had visible bite marks... ugh. Luckily it’s dealt with now

[@koalaskrypin]

You know, Gavin, this year is (astrologically) a year when a lot of people find that they can't do things in the same way as before, habits and ruts are being broken, new paths are being forged. So, for one, I think it is spot on that you got that text from your landlord because it made you take a mental leap and decide to really move out (and even set a date) which pushes you to where you need to go. And, second, for the channel, it sounds like an amazing idea to split it in the way you are describing, and probably exactly the right path forward for you to reach your goals for this channel and end up where you want to go and be. ❤

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I needed to hear this, thank you 🫶🏼

[@AmandaShouldBeReading]

I’m watching your recent stuff all out of order, but it’s so rough seeing your struggle with the manga content. As someone trying to work up the courage to maybe start my own channel (where I would want to talk about books and comics and manga), it frustrates me to no end that the algorithm punishes so many creators for making the content they want. But at the end of the day, this is your livelihood and you have to do what you need to protect it. You’re a strong creator and I think a lot of us will watch you no matter what you are doing. Wishing you all the best with this period of transition.

[@Kite562bookishreviews]

Ooh looking forward to what this vlog has in store! 🙂❤📚

[@GavinReadsItAll]

It has a LOT going on haha

[@Littlerose8]

Gavin, thank you for being the light I need right now. I can relate to your living situation, I have lived in an apartment for two years with neighbors constantly throwing parties at 3 am and staff that refuse to fix anything. At one point, our fridge, washer/dryer, and AC were broken all at once, plus a leak, and all that took them 4 MONTHS TO FIX!!! I'm moving out in July (thank fuck!) and I am really looking forward to your moving vlogs. We'll get through this!

[@adamrivers3250]

Next level Gavin!

[@childfreegamer8840]

You’ll get there mate. Just show them you can consistently pay it and you’ll get it. Good luck.

[@arobinreads]

Best of luck Gavin! Really hope you get the place! ❤

[@nowherejulia]

Wishing the best of luck with the house !!

[@la_hambre_de_monserrat]

Good luck getting the place🎉

[@fozzymup268]

Wishing you all the luck Gavin! 🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@atlantisfrost52]

Best of luck with everything! Take care of yourself ❤

[@Lisa-vb3gn]

Good luck with everything-don’t forget to breathe!!!❤

[@SarahAtHeart]

Love your vlogs ❤ And crossing my fingers that you get the house!

[@thefuzzybookdragon]

I found this very relatable. Good luck with the hunt for new accommodation!

[@insencity]

this is honestly my favorite type of content, always love this vlogs from you!

[@ellie-elles.bookshelf]

The jump scare in the live show 🤣🤣🤣 I jumped so bad!! Loved this vlog Gav 🤩

[@andshereads]

Good luck on the apartment hunt! I'm in the same stage of life at the moment so solidarity!

[@ladymairreads]

Sending all the good luck vibes ! And fleas are the worry I hope you can get rid of them soon

[@carolinejane1702]

Ahh! I got my summerween shirt yesterday too and I got both designs too! I couldnt resist that little ghostie

[@thebooktaurus]

There's no one I'd rather derail with, Gav! Sending positive vibes. You've got this!

[@lilarceo2251]

Best of luck Gavi with your new channel and house hunting ❤

[@starry_worlds]

Good luck with your house hunt!

[@krisprepolec5616]

🤞sending good vibes that you get the new place.

[@CleaSelene]

Awwwwwe, that Ash & Tobu interval ❤

[@sarawithoutanH]

we stan a slice of life vlog!! also big fan of the fit with the green top over the white! 48:00 thanks to nikki we did do one more sprint 😂 she kept us on task

[@emerkinsella470]

Fingers crossed you get the house 🤞🙏

[@Jen-fantasyandfiction]

yeah, we gotta get you out of that place!

[@jenniferreppenhagen8902]

I love you, Gavin! Thanks for making my day.

[@anikamercier2651]

This was so fun to watch I love how you make us feel like part of your life. Please keep up posted about the house. Sending you good thoughts!

[@jemmahatt]

Love these slice of life vlogs, Gavin! And you've inspired me to start more audiobooks to get back into reading again (hands still mostly holding baby B!)

[@MyMizukiBis]

Bon courage Gavin ! The home hunting is so much stress, I hope for the best ❤️🤞🏽

[@woodlandlady7011]

Love your summerween t-shirts, Gavin. Best of luck with your house move.

[@luca.desu.2590]

A cliffhanger 😱😱 i hope you get the place or another one that makes you happy!!

[@bookwormcherly7447]

Tootaloo!!! Made me laugh out loud!

[@Salem-lv7tf]

The tension I feel waiting to find out whether or not he got the house 🧍🏼‍♀️

[@ja.ck.IE_Ma.kw09]

I belive in you!! And I will so watch the arc videos, I watched the reading vlogs and loved them!!! ❤

[@coqui_tasha]

Gavin never apologize! I'm excited for what comes next. I see it as having more content from you to watch. Do whatever is best for you, and we will gladly follow and support you. Hugs!

[@Maria_reads]

Wishing you all the best with house hunting gavin ❤ good luck!

[@gabbyreads]

Ahhh the Summerween shirts at the end look so cute on you 🥹💖 I loveeeee!!!

[@TamikaMcK]

Bookish slice of life vlogs are my absolute favourite video style to watch ❤❤

[@luca.desu.2590]

That must have been so stressful dealing with the fleas😣 but the early morning bird footage was so peaceful so thanks for sharing that 😌

[@gabbyreads]

It sounds like it’s been such a stressful month for you!! And your landlord sounds the worst ugh I’m so glad you’ll be getting out of there soon. Sending love and hugs 💖💖💖

[@blakebaird5829]

OMFG THE BOYS ARE SOOO CUDDLY IN THIS 🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@chelsea5844]

Fingers crossed for you to get your new furrrr-ever home. ❤

[@BethB2010]

Best of luck with getting out of that house. I definitely understand how landlords can make your life an absolute nightmare. All the good vibes!!!

[@balletbookworm]

Sending good thoughts your way - hope you get the house! 🍀🍀🍀

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

I added the dream department store book to my tbr wishlist after that because I have heard so many good things about it and this made me definitely want to get it! I also have days of morisaki bookshop waiting for me on my shelf and it sounds wholesome and nice. A shame about the direction changing in the second half. I know you're in the process of moving now so you have somewhere but flat hunting / house hunting is SO STRESSFUL so I understand feeling in a strange headspace throughout this vlog!!

[@royalreveluv]

Never been this early omg! But I’m so excited cause all your slice of life vlogs are a vibe 🎉

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Yay thank you!! 🎉

[@MissKyzoni]

The ghosts claimed the coffee machine. For real though the tea spilled in this video was just oof. Here's to hoping you get that house and can move on to better things!

[@ClumsyCharlott]

I’ve been eyeing Dallergut Dream Department Store and hearing how much you enjoyed it and how it was all vibes had me sold! Love all the life updates as well! So excited for you and what the future holds!

[@cindywingetbooks]

This was a great video. Sorry you are so stressed at the moment. I hope you get the house! Please let us know either way! Btw, Animal Farm is a fantastic book.

[@charlswoff]

Omg I empathise with the flea infestation so much, it's the absolute worst!!

[@jennie9]

Your cats are adorable, fleas or not! Smart decision to start a new manga channel and use content you already have for the first while. Good luck with the search for a new place and the move.

[@Shelf_Improvement]

That was a ride! I really really hope you get the house you want!

[@Kenough_in_Wonderland]

Dallerguts Dream Department Store is sooo amazing! Made me cry my eyes out, and gave me so much hope at the same time, an instant 5 ⭐️ for me.

[@leeh4343]

Very smart move to have a second channel I reckon! Tbh I don’t watch your manga videos but really enjoy the rest of your content 😊

[@rhondasruminationsonreading]

Crossing my fingers and toes that you get the new house!!!!

[@AbiofPellinor]

The ride might be de-railing or it might be shifting to a new track. Good luck!!!!!!!

[@snoopeony]

Omg I am so sorry about the fleas. It's actually traumatising and very difficult to get rid off, because they get everywhere. I wish you the best of luck and patience, it will get better 💪

[@DarkBeauty73]

Good luck 🍀🍀🍀

[@ButtercupBooks15]

My cats got fleas earlier this year from the dog at my son’s dad house. I saw her scratching and just knew there was going to be an issue. Thankfully the back of the neck stuff got rid of them relatively quickly with a combination of combing them and washing everything constantly. I feel you on being awake just thinking about it because that was me for weeks until I stopped seeing them. Only the best positive vibes on the new house!!!

[@judithcakelover]

Ash & Tobu are so adorable ❤🤞🤞I really hope you get the house and don't worry about the vlog being chaotic. I love any vlog you make. ❤ And You are not alone with the end of the world book, Emily Fox said it was her most disappointed book of the year.

[@mymindfullife7554]

Oh no!!!! On top of everything your coffee maker broke. 😮 Hopefully things will start to get better

[@butzichen]

With that title, I thought it was bad news on the house, but there is still hope it works out, all the best luck in finding something quickly🤞🍀

[@XOXOLOLA100]

Hi Gav, I am also apartment hunting in my hometown and I feel you so much! Found this vlog oddly comforting, so thank you 🙏🏻 I wish I had your positive attitude 👀 May we both find the house of our dreams 😊❤

[@oliviac712]

Of course you'll see me in your next video Gavin, building all that tension and then leaving it on a cliffhanger like that! Who do you think you are? R.L. Stine?!?! If you start your next vlog with 'Gotcha!' I'm gonna cry! Seriously though I've got everything crossed for you getting the house of your dreams and hope you find out very soon. Also congratulations on your new channel 😊

[@esmeloadesu]

I really hope you do get that new house!! Sending you lots of love and good vibes, I love your content so much and recently it's bringing me lots of joy and inspiration, thank you so much for all your hard work and for sharing your lovely energy with us, and please take good care of yourself in these stressful times

[@MovieTrollop]

The manga stuff... I love the second channel idea because I avoid those videos until I've finished the series to avoid spoilers. Now I wont be so paranoid so I can watch them. I'm excited! Hope it all works out!

[@Bookishcharlot1]

I'm sorry you had such a bad week and I can totally relate to the importance of a good cup of coffee! Also, where is my cappuccino?! I thought that was a perk of being your inspiration 😁

[@AmbWitch]

Loving all the cat content.

[@luizabertolini5556]

Wishing you all the luck in the world! Finding a new home is SUCH A HASSLE, but it will be worth it! If you don't get this one, it's because it's not meant to be, and something better is coming your way. You got this!! ☕️🐈‍⬛🏡

[@angiesfantasies]

i love these slice of life vlogs 🤍 your attitude and mindset in this one is so relatable right now because i also have to move in the next couple of months and also don't have a place yet and it's so stressful but also because i have never lived on my own before so i'm excited and terrified at the same time ahhhh i hope you get the place you want and your cats get to have the greatest garden 🏡😻

[@Rkive.wonderland]

Crossing my fingers for your coffee machine and finding a new place to live!

[@jungtothehuimang]

Gav, good luck to finding a bigger better more beautiful home for you and your sweet kitties. Also I think having a dedicated spoiler filled manga channel is not a bad idea at all, personally I like the spoiler filled videos because I don't really mind spoilers, but I can emphasize with people who don't like them. I think everything will work out for you!
