This vlog was everything. Your reactions during Blue Sisters make me want to pick it up asap. I don't have a sister, but have always wanted one (ended up with 3 brothers instead 😂) and I love reading books about sisterhood.

i feel like if you ever read I Who Have Ever Known Men again with a physical copy you would be underlining SO much hah. i read it 2 times this year, and the 2nd time i took my time and annotated it, and its definitely my top book of 2024 and one of my new all-time favorites. i agree with what you said about it not being about answers and finding meaning because sometimes in life we just dont get resolution and things dont always mean something. i love it so much. i need to check out In Memoriam! its on my shelf.

Can't believe it has been 4 years since Rachel's kidney problems 😮 I am the youngest of 3 sisters and am close to both,but actually live with my middle sister.We have always been super close and I would literally not be alive anymore,if it wasn't for her.She is my soulmate.

I really enjoyed this vlog, Gabby, thanks again for the effort you put into your excellent videos. And it's fantastic that you had so many good books in ths vlog! One after another, it was cool. I will get "Know Knock Open Wide" and I will also buy "Blue Sisters" -- for my sister for Christmas. We lost a sister so when you said this book could be cathartic for those who have lost a sister that made me want to read this and get it for my sister who has grieved a lot.

Hearing you describe your relationship with your sister reminds me so much of my own. We also worked together and had the same friendship groups. I'm also the older one... Books about sisters are my absolute favourite fiction books. Any other recommendations for that theme? I'd love a video on this topic!!

Knock Knock Open Wide took me several days to get through, too, but omg it was so weird, so surreal, and so good!! I still think about it and I read it 6 months ago. I gave it 4 stars overall for all the reasons you explained--the plot gets a little off track, I felt, but the end is really solid. But I dunno, for how much of an impression it left on me maybe it should be 5 stars lol. Also the author has a book coming out next year called The Burial Tide! The description of it sounds really good.

Um. No. I wrote the book and Aideen and Etain are two different names. Her pronunciation was perfect. EDIT: Well I'll be damned, apparently Etain is the original form of Aideen. Anyone I've known who uses that spelling pronounces it "E tane".

I am so happy you picked and enjoyed knock knock open wide ❤ I also felt that I did not fully grasp the horror elements but I still enjoyed the ride and the concept was so unique. This book evoked so many feelings. It would have made a great book club pick, I think, just so we can figure out together what happened😅

I am sooo glad you are loving the vampire diaries! I would kill to be able to rewatch it for the first time again! (Although I do rewatch every year lol!) Just be warned, it kind of goes to shit at the end of the show and the plot lines are just rough… BUT the originals is AMAZING when you do finish it! I love it just as much.

I went to check out Blue Sisters on Libby and there's 42 people waiting. But Spotify will allow me to listen to the audiobook in two days so yay! I'm also excited to read Knock Knock Open Wide because my grandmother was from Ireland, I love U2, and the concept sounds very interesting. I'm really struggling with focusing on reading this year. My goal was 30 and I dropped it down to 25 but still have 5 to go. Maybe I'll look up some reading sprints and try that.

I read blue sisters and enjoyed it. I have In Memoriam in my queque so I’m excited to read that one. I’m intrigued by Knock Knock Open Wide!! I feel you on the ADHD being bad right now with the state of the world. Sending big love to you 💜 so happy you had a successful reading vlog 🎉 one book I read recently that I loved was Grown by Tiffany D Jackson. Great book! Oooh side note….if you like Vampire Diaries then I’m sure you’ll LOVE the Originals!!

As an LA native... ouch 😂 I agree with you (and that quote) about certain aspects and areas of LA but it always hurts to hear people talk that way about a city of millions of people who are all very very different from one another. We get a bad rep but I'm not sure it's always fair. Love the way you tall about sisterhood. Makes me super jealous I don't have a sister! And then of course the masterpiece that is The Vampire Diaries with a top tier exploration of brotherhood lol

Since you like books that are sort of gay themed there is a classic novel by Evelyn Waugh called "Brideshead Revisited" that you might enjoy. It takes place during early years of 20th century. Thanks.

Thank you!!! And yes the recipe is so simple. It’s just white rice, ground beef (seasoned with Taco Beef seasoning and I like to squeeze a lime over it in the last minute of cooking) and then fresh cilantro, avocado, and tomato for topping! I also put sour cream and Taco Bell mild sauce on top of mine 🤤

Just starting the video, I’m curious what you’re going to think about I Who Have Never Known Men. I found it to be too slow and repetitive and I think you might too. Also I just borrowed knock knock open wide from the library but haven’t started it yet so I’m interested to see if you recommend it or not.
