reading a Christmas thriller, romance, and a horror novella☕🎄🎅 [reading vlog]

[@isaactesfaye4911]

Gabby you're blessing us with these reading vlogs this year. We preciate you, your hard work hasn't gone unnoticed 🙏🏿

[@gabbyreads]

That’s so sweet thank you so much! 🥹🥰❤

[@ashleyslittlelibrary]

Christmas books are fun in theory but so hard to get right for some reason 😂

[@gabbyreads]

soooo true what the heck!!

[@burymewithabook]

Seriously!

[@MiniMicroPup]

Santa Claus abducting people is a plot I rly want to read now 😂

[@jester4592]

Nice decorations! Your videos give me so much comfort, I love this corner of KZbin!

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you!! ❤❤❤

[@kaesinfinitelibrary]

My brain sometimes just wants to read on my kindle instead of physical books which sometimes makes me so sad because I love the feeling of reading physically but sometimes you just gotta roll with it. I’m can only do Christmas books in novella form unless it’s a nutcracker retelling 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@ReadingNymph]

I relate to what you were saying about having been a big Christmas person when you were younger and just no longer feeling that way. The Christmas Books help with getting into the spirit, I find. I like to read an Agatha Christie Christmas book in December

[@tanialeee]

I also have had 0 interest in Christmas books. Even when the pumpkin spice cafe was going around, I just don’t care to read seasonal books like that.

[@tanialeee]

Love hard is a Christmas classic in my household lol. Must watch every year

[@jessicaallard9453]

I absolutely loved the nightmare before Kissmas and I don't usually love romance books. What you said made so much sense! That it doesn't feel much like a straight-up romance book. Probably part of why I adored it 😊 I do read a lot of fantasy ✨ Also, if you haven't seen the movie Violent Night you might like it!!

[@sheyannestewart]

Not the dog pov 😂😂

[@DebraGail]

I had dnf’d The Nightmare Before Christmas because of all the politics. I had hoped that you would say it gets better so that I could give it another try but I now know that it totally isn’t for me and it will go in my unhaul pile. It looked so good and I was so disappointed in it.

[@camifaschingbauer]

The Nightmare Before *KISSMAS* not Christmas! That's a completely different story...

[@angelaholmes8888]

Since the weather has become cooler I get sleepy early then usually been watching a ton of Christmas films ☃️🎅🎄

[@brandytaylor1986.]

Your German shepherd is beautiful 😊❤😮

[@lifewithkendal]

i had the same thoughts on most wonderful crime of the year!!! i ended up rating it just 2 stars but i LOVED the first half and then it just crashed and burned......

[@holly_a_reads_away5120]

I love your videos so much!!!!

[@eu00010]

I recommend you a short story called The Yattering and Jack 🎄

[@sheyannestewart]

Even though this is how I thought this vlog would go (because same) it was still very fun to watch!! ❤❤

[@gabbyreads]

hahaha thanks Sheyanne!!

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

I'd recommend The Twelve Days of Murder by Andreina Cordani... dual timelime, set in a snowy isolated mansion, murder mystery dinner game... the drill went live, folks 😅 I had fun reading that one last year.

[@elizabethandrus3848]

Happy Holidays Gabby, I'm so glad you are liking The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year, it's on my to order list> I am in the mood for a Christmas book, even a 3 star. My daughter and her fiancé are coming this weekend. Your eating leftovers at your Mom's house is just what us Moms crave!

[@dianamanso5262]

The Visitor was a 2 star for me too, and I had really wanted to like it!

[@justinkhchen]

The Most Wonderful Crime was on my immediate TBR, but now I might reconsider... and yes the writing in You Better Watch Out is indeed very dude/bro 😂 I did read The Christmas Tree Farm by Laurie Gilmore earlier this month and found it pretty mid.

[@blakebaird5829]

HAHA YOU SHOULD A “I CANT STOP UNTIL I GET A FIVE ⭐️ CHRISTMAS BOOK”!

[@reneeannreads]

The Nightmare Before Kissmas worked a lot for me because I loved the politics and the royal aspect, but I agree with your point about it suffering by not having a dual pov. I would’ve loved having Hex’s perspective.

[@cindywingetbooks]

I also didn't care for The Visitor. I am excited to read The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year. The first book sounds very Nightmare Before Christmas-esq. Very fun!

[@thetattooedhufflepuff5161]

When i went to pick up the nightmare before kissmas, it was actually categorized as a fantasy book! I assumed romance or romantasy atleast but just strictly fantasy!

[@motfoxdene8098]

I get what you mean about the doom feeling, I get it with my birthday though 😢

[@everydaylifewithkat]

I felt the EXACT same way about The Most Wonderful Crime. Going to read Nightmare Before Christmas this weekend. Love this cozy vlog! 🎄🧋 Also, Phoenix 🐕 😻

[@gabbyreads]

thanks Kat!!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

The most wonderful crime of the year sounds so much fun

[@BookReviewsWithBecky]

These are on my TBR! I loved Everyone This Christmas Has A Secret by Benjamin Stevenson! ☺

[@misskarin]

It seems like we had the exact same experience reading The Most Wonderful Crime lol.

[@autumnritchie1473]

🥰🥰🥰

[@rebekahmackenzie]

Your vlogs are so great! Thank you! I gave The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year three stars. It started fun but I lost interest but I also didn't like the back and forth between mystery and romance. That's a bummer about You Better Watch Out.

[@theresepazell7875]

I like your sweatshirt from Chicago from Chicago lol Happy Holiday..

[@andrewseegulam8682]

Gabby now that you have a Kindle you must read For the Fans by Nyla K

[@aishas7412]

Hi iam a begginer reader could u please suggest me few begginer friendly books 📚 that could help me build reading habbit thank you 😊

[@gabbyreads]

@@aishas7412 I just posted a video last month about books to get you out a slump or back into reading that could be helpful! :)

[@linettemendez70]

I've never read those books before. But do you think that Sergio Gomez is either hit or miss when you read his books?

[@sharath_95]

Oh noo😮 you better watch out i-a DNf...what a bummer I am planning to read that next, now i am reconsidering my decision 😄 anyway love you &this vlog gabby❤

[@spookygeek9459]

👍👍👍👍

[@addictivegamer102]

I'm currently reading You Better Watch Out and I agree, it's just not clicking for me. I'm not sure if I'll DNF it eventually but even with it more plot/action heavy, I get that "oh this is def a man who wrote this" vibe. I read The Visitor last Christmas and gave it about 3 stars. I enjoyed it for what it was but I think it was pretty forgettable overall. So sorry you didn't get the experience you wanted for Christmas books, and hope your next reads are better!

[@ankita7059]

Kinda unrelated.. but I'm currently watching 'Shakespeare and Hathaway : Private Investigators' and i think it might be right up your alley!!

[@BookWormBeauty89]

I'm so sad you DNF'd You Better Watch Out! I've been wanting to read it. James S Murray is one of the impractical jokers; idk if you watch that show or not

[@savagejazz4958]

I have the nightmare before kissmas on hold at my library I can't wait to read it n also if u like the grinch then maybe u will like how my neighbor stole Christmas and maybe u will like my December darling n I'm currently reading my favortie holidate n I also get wanting to read on the kindle bc I haven't picked up a physical book at all this month I just been reading on my kindle 😂😂😂

[@jamesduggan7200]

Dicken's Christmas Stories keeps me interested tho tbh none beside ACC can be considered really good. Each is about 70 pages small type and hard to follow closely but the endings are special. Your tree looks great - hope mine turns out half as well!

[@staceylouise4324]

Ive tried to read on the treadmill but struggle 😂 what is your secrets 👀
