READING RUSH VLOGS | Days 4, 5, 6, 7 (+Wrap Up!)

[@rebekahmackenzie]

Don't feel bad if there isn't "enough reading" in your vlogs. Your vlogs are great and you put a lot of work into them. And congrats on a successful reading rush.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

It’s the worst when you think you’re going to love a book and then hate it ☹️

[@emmiemust6033]

I don't think you have a lot of unpopular opinions actually I think is the opposite and is nice to see how you are never afraid or hessitant to give your opinions even when someone sends u and arc, I really like that about you. I knew that you would not like the writing style of Good me bad me though ☺️ Love your vlogs!! And read The song of Achilles you wont regret it😘

[@beautyandthebookaholic7347]

You can get the Chia Latte hot if you don't like it cold though. I get a sugar free vanilla (extra pump) chia tea latte made with non fat milk and no foam hot in the winter and cold in the summer. Its my go to drink! Or the Pink Drink with extra strawberries 😍

[@katem198]

A chai latte on a chilly day is the BEST! (I find the Starbucks ones way too sweet though as they use a syrup and not a powder). I really recommend the film adaptation of A Monster Calls for one day!

[@tomboyz151]

Lol. I also feel the same way about showing my legs/wearing shorts at work!! 🙈🙈🙉

[@theresed3639]

Congrats on 14k☺️ I listened to The Humans for the Reading Rush because of you and am now on my way down a Matt Haig rabbit hole ☺️

[@theresed3639]

Oops I meant 18k!

[@allysoncaldwell8492]

Loved the vlogs this week :) You've honestly given me so many good recommendations and I just want to thank you so much for it. You were my first thought when I saw the "BookRec Heaven" question, even though you didnt personally recommend the books, Ive still loved so many of your recommendations. Congrats on 18k :)

[@GwendolynKensinger]

I loved your vlogs. I wish they posted the Instagram challenges the same time they did the reading challenges so people could work on their photos and get some pictures taken before the actual readathon when we're trying to read. It's been a suggestion of mine the last few years but so far it hasn't changed. But I agree that you basically have to do lots of things half way or one or two things good.

[@scarlettpeach9]

I feel you about struggling to have the time to read. I think life is a reader's worst enemy. Sometimes I think I am in a reading slump because when I go to read - I am asleep instantly... but most of the time it isn't the book ... I am freaking exhausted from my life lol

[@saswini101]

OMG omg!!!! you posted. So relieved 😌 I was waiting for this. 😘😘❤️❤️

[@delaney7021]

I'm 100% the same way about shorts at work!

[@editaaaw]

I always love watching your vlogs, they're so entertaining to me. I was going to read A Monster Calls for the readathon as well but then ended up not even participating at all lol.

[@bluemoonandorangesky]

I listened to FlateShare and I think that was the best way for it... I enjoyed it.

[@MsAniMo22]

Very much my thoughts as well, cuts out having to figure out the stilted writing style.

[@homesweethomemama]

I read a monster calls for the first time during the reading rush. I gave it five stars and bawled my eyes out!

[@Jamhands9]

I was able to read 7 books! Thanks to 2 graphic novels, 2 short audiobooks, and 1 short novel (plus 1 regular length novel).

[@mamesjenkins7583]

Love your vlogs!

[@thenerdyscholar02]

I read all seven books. I read my last book on the 6th day and might have stayed up until 3:30am to finish

[@MsAniMo22]

It is sad you didn't like The Flatshare.I read it via audio and I think that helped a lot with the weird writing style during Leon's chapters.It moved very fast for me and I just found it very sweet.Which is strange,because I usually find audiobook narrators ruin books for me a lot of the time.

[@sazmarie1281]

I liked the flat-share :( congrats on 18k!

[@MandaisManda]

Saz Marie12 me too!! Was rather surprised when Gabby didn’t like it. Oh well! 😊

[@thisprettyproject]

Made my day..by posting this 🥰

[@anitaj6071]

What are those Starbucks drinks and why are they so colorful?! I need to know 😱

[@gabbyreads]

those weren't starbucks drinks haha they were from this coffee place, they are redbull chargers with added flavors

[@shayydeniece]

I read Good Me, Bad Me earlier this year because I ment to read it last year and I pretty much hated everything about!🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm super confused about the hype around that book!

[@shilpayesh9024]

I could hardly finish a book that's great Gatsby and three others half way through ... That's women in white , the diary of a young girl and Harry Potter and order of phenix. All were huge plus I have recently been addicted to reading. May be I cant have much at once... 🤣 And also I was a bit busy

[@FromJessToYou]

CONGRATS on all that you accomplished! =0)

[@isadoramarchioni8934]

I read an arc of Good Me Bad Me last year and I was really disappointed. I also HATED the writing style so I feel you lol It was a great idea with terrible execution.

[@melanieevans8770]

I want to see it too take me with u!

[@lia938]

[@caitscozycorner]

gabbyreads hi

[@desireemclaughlin1455]

I was so disappointed with Things You Save in a Fire. I actually thought the whole, “She’s better than all the men at all the things” got really old. Also the way the author attempted to show that she’s ‘not like other girls’ is really awkward and clunky. As if a badass lady can’t also enjoy cooking or crocheting or fashion...I just didn’t like her characterization. Also...the insta-love was extreme in this book. She sees him for one second and all of her cynical views on love fly out the window? I’m saying this as someone who has been married to her high school sweetheart for almost 18 years...but that shit ain’t realistic. Anyway...sorry for the rant 😂 Love your videos!

[@gabbyreads]

hahaha I totally feel the same about it! /: thanks!
