Reading NEW romance books and going through one of the hardest weeks of my life 😭

[@iqraciousliliput2378]

All the prayers of your fans are with you and Rachel.. She will come round soon, stay strong ❤️

[@clairescott568]

You, Rachel & your whole family are in my thoughts and hoping for a complete recovery for her and peace for you.

[@delciagarcia8287]

Dear Gaby: So sorry to hear about your sister’s hospitalizations . I can only imagine how hard this is for all of you. Sending healing thoughts. 🤗💕

[@hannahschoultz2184]

Gosh, when you cried at the end, that made me cry! Didn't realise how much I care about you, Rach and your family. I hope everything works out! xxx

[@jamesduggan7200]

Sending good thoughts Rachel's way. Good chance she'll be herself for Christmas, and what's better gift than that?

[@nataliejohnson8117]

Gosh, it just kills me to see you cry. I feel so helpless being a follower, I feel like there is something I wish I (we, as followers) can do for you. I just wish you guys the best holiday possible. Please hug everyone and know that you've gotten through the rain so there is nothing but sunshine ahead. Love you dearly Gabby!! 💜💜💜💐🎉 PRAYERS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!! 🙏🏼

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you 😭🥺❤️

[@novalycia]

the relationship you and your sister have is so beautiful ❤️ sending all my love to you and your family ❤️

[@ludleys.2870]

I’m so sorry to hear about everything your sister and your family are going through Gabby🥺. Hang in there. I’m sending you lots of love and light🙏🏽💜

[@triciaeh]

So happy to hear that Rachel is doing better! Sending your family all the love and best wishes. My boyfriend has been through so many illnesses this year and endless trips to the ER. I know how draining it is--the constant worry, fear and pain of seeing them hurting and feeling, just helpless. Hang in there!!!

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you!! And I hope your boyfriend is doing better now ❤️❤️

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

🖤 sending you and your sister lots and lots of love

[@Clickflic]

I really hope your sister is feeling better 💛. I’ve had a few kidney/bladder related surgeries where I needed to keep a cath in for long periods of time- what helped me was wearing (living in) an extremely loose and large Night gown, a pee- purse, lots of fav movies, and lots of reminders that even though the pain sucks when it’s all over she will feel so much better! ✨sending lots of positive and hope for quick healing thoughts ✨

[@alyssab296]

Big hugs to you and your sweet sister. Hoping she gets well soon. I know it's so hard and stressful. We went through something similar with my aunt several years ago where she went in for a routine gallbladder surgery and came out with a punctured colon. It was so stressful and my aunt was so sick for a few months but she did finally recover and is doing well these days. I hope she recovers really soon, and I'm so glad that the alarm bells went off with the pain and fever she was having and y'all were able to get her treated quickly! Stay strong, and know that so many of us are thinking about and praying for you and Rachel and all of your sweet family who has brought so much positivity into our lives. ❤❤

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you!! And I’m so sorry to hear that about your aunt that must’ve been really hard to go through 😭❤️

[@desireemclaughlin1455]

Gabby, first of all, I really hope Rachel is feeling better soon. My heart was hurting for you and your family watching this video. My husband had to be in the hospital for about a week back in February, right before Covid hit, and it was incredibly scary, but at least I was able to be at the hospital with him. I can’t imagine going through something like that now with all the restrictions. As far as the books go, I tried to read Spoiler Alert but couldn’t get into it. I had some of the same issues you mentioned, especially the coincidence that they know each other online but their meeting in real life was completely random...pushed believability a little for me. But everyone seems to really enjoy it, so I’ll eventually give it another shot. And favorite Evermore songs? champagne problems, tis the damn season, ivy, and theodora...but the entire album is *chef’s kiss*

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you! I’m sorry to hear that about your husband, I hope he’s doing well now ❤️ and yessss omg Ivy is so underrated, it’s really great 😍😍

[@CreditR01]

I'm really sorry for all the trouble your poor sister is having. Wishing you guys all the best, it sounds like it's been hell. I hope she recovers safe and sound without any more trouble.

[@carolzapatabooksandstuff4909]

I pray your sister gets better smoothly and quickly. Your love for your sister is beautiful ☺️

[@catyapping]

I’m so sorry for you, Rachel, and your family. My sister is also in the hospital right now and likely will be there through Christmas so I can relate to how you’ve been feeling. It sucks. :(

[@gabbyreads]

I’m so sorry to hear that 😭❤️ I hope she starts feeling better soon!!

[@bookaholicbanter]

Aww, I'm so sorry Gabby! I am keeping your sister, you, and the rest of your family in my thoughts and prayers. It's horrible everything she and your family are being put through. I really hope she feels better soon. ❤

[@maelle.c.]

i'm glad to read the 12/13 update that your sister feels better, sending you lot of love

[@jennainman7657]

Thank you for updating us on Rachel. Praying for you and Rachel and your family 💗💗💗

[@starkidgirl101]

Oh my gosh Gabby, I am so sorry to hear about your sister!! I hope she’s doing alright now and recovering well! I understand what she’s going through. I didn’t have kidney stones, but I had gall stones. And oh my gosh it was one of the worst pains I have ever felt in my life. So I’m happy she’s okay and is recovering. And I 1000% understand the pain and anxiety that she was, and possibly maybe still is going through. And I’m so sorry that y’all couldn’t be with her like you should’ve been able to. Honestly frick covid!! Wishing her and your family the best of luck and lots of love! 💕

[@mariamm9400]

Omg I can't believe you posted. I've reading your IG posts for the last few days and my heart breaks for you, Rachel and your family for what all of you are going through. I wish we could all give you big hugs and comforting words, but while this maybe just a comment, I mean it with my whole heart that I pray for the health of rachel. I pray for your family. Don't feel compelled to post videos now Gabby, we will continue to support you and pray for Rachel throughout. Take care your self Gabby and while the entire month sucks, happy holidays ❤️

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Gabby, I so admire and enjoy the way you’re so open about your life on your channel. Of course, my thoughts and prayers are with you, Rachel, and your family. 💛 Please give tank multiple nose kisses from me and I’m now going to go buy all of these books thanks to you ☺️

[@gabbyreads]

Thanks so much Olivia, it means a lot 😭🥰

[@saleenaberry8820]

I'm so sorry that you and your family are going through so much right now. Hopefully, since you are able to make us happy with your love for books, we can give back to you and send you some positivity energy. This year has been pretty rough in general, and I wish you didn't have to go through this right now, especially during the holidays. I'm praying for your sister!

[@sydneysbooks]

My heart is shattered rn 😭 praying for your family so dearly this week. I’m so glad some of your reads were escapes for you, & hopefully evermore turns out to be an album you associate with healing rather than stress 🤍

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you 🥰❤️😭

[@olivegranola]

i'm the older sister and i felt so connected and there with you when you were in tears in your car. My sister had to go to the ER once and it was so scary. What Rachel is going through is HORRIBLE, I feel for her

[@brittanyhinkle524]

All the hurt your family has gone through this week breaks my heart. I hope Rachel feels better soon. I’m so glad you were able to read such light hearted happy reads during this time and Taylor could release a new album during your sorrow..I’m hoping you and Rachel can listen to it together many times and make positive memories with it ❤️

[@AlmaMartinezTamblyn]

Oh Gabby I could feel the hurt in your voice while you talked about your sister. I hope she recovers quickly and feels better soon. I have been eyeing Written in the Stars and now I definitely need to get it.

[@sandravasquez7690]

Prayers for you and your sister and the rest of your family. Illness in any family member is upsetting. She will be fine! Just stay strong for each other💪🙏🙏🙏

[@ТаняФатеева-д9с]

I understand you very much, I myself have experienced this several times when something happened to loved ones due to health. I wish your sister get better soon, your family and you reunite with her and celebrate the holidays happily together. Love you💜🙌

[@pixiegirl33]

So happy Rachel is home and feeling better! I know that's a big load off of your mind. I cried and was worried right along with you in the vlog even though I knew it was in the past. Surrounding you and your family with healing white light and love.

[@Ilovemlfy]

i absolutely love your videos, you give honest opinions and take us along through your journey when reading a book. I admire to read so much like you do one day Gaby, please dont stop. We love you 🥺💕

[@RachelKathrynnn]

I love you Gabby. From one Rachel to another Rachel, I'm sending your sister positive vibes. She is so sweet, you both are. I hope nothing for the best for both of you.

[@Readitandeat]

I just wanted to drop a note and say I genuinely understand what you're going through. My dad has cancer so every time he needs a blood transfusion, chemo, or something that goes wrong, we have to wait and the anxiety of waiting and not knowing is unbearable. You're an amazing sister and I wish your sister a very speedy recovery

[@gabbyreads]

I’m so sorry to hear that, I hope your dad starts doing better soon ❤️

[@libbysreadingcorner9564]

I really do hope that Rachel makes a full recover from her surgery here really soon. Stay strong and sending you and Rachel lots of hugs

Wishing you and your sister better days ahead. I pray your sister heals quickly and that shes not in pain anymore. I had my appendix out unexpectedly over the summer, surgery is definitely difficult on everyone. I wasnt allowed to have my family in the hospital either, cause we were still in lockdown at that time. Sending love & hugs to you, your family and especially your sister. 💗📚

That musical performance was an unexpected surprise. I just started following you for book recommendations. You're awesome, Gabby. Don't let life get you down. There are too many good books left to read to worry over what can't be controlled.

Damn, hope for you, sister and family to go through all this moment. It never easy to see someone you care about go the hospital, specially with everything that happening with COVID. Take care and pray for everything to be okay. Also don't apologize about telling personal stuff, Gabby. Your channel and your rules.
