I Read Books Set On the Titanic While Building the Titanic 🚢

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Cats when they see boxes: “EVERY NIGHT IN MY DREAMS, I SEE YOU I FEEEEL YOU….”

[@shawnelizabeth3236]

Don’t apologize for the Lego content! Do what you enjoy!

[@palefacedbeauty4778]

I don't cry when Jack dies either. For me it's when the old couple are lying in bed together with the water coming in and the fact that there was an elderly couple that died on titanic, she never left her husband behind. And the single mother who realised they were never going to get a boat so she went back to their cabin and put her babies to sleep knowing they would die. That always gets me every single time. The best scene is when Rose gets out of the car and looks up at the ship. Soooo impactful and she's stunning. Ps tobu and ash have grown up sooooo much 😩

[@libbyallen2566]

YES! The elderly couple and the single mum makes me tear up too.

[@tish_has_plans_to_read]

I also tear up at these parts, especially the single mom being a mom myself makes it hit harder, but also at the very end when Rose throws the necklace back and finally lets go 😢

[@palefacedbeauty4778]

@tish_has_plans_to_read omg yes! Then when she finally let's go she dies in her sleep and goes back to jack and everyone that died, including cora the little girl and her dad and Mr Andrews 😭😭

[@itsmattiebeck]

Such a great video! Don’t ever apologize for loving legos and including them in your vlogs! I love the different element thrown into your reading vlogs 😊

[@fionahowellwrites5302]

What a fun idea! I love the Titanic too. I grew up in NYC and there was house that had the pictures of all the victims in the window. I passed by it every day after school. That's when I got interested. I love Violet, who worked on the ship. She survived, then went to the other ship that sank. She was on 3 major ship wrecks and still went to work on a ship. Badass lady! :D

[@maryruiter2416]

The first film about Titanic was a silent movie. One of our cinema's did a special event a few years back. The showed the silent movie with live music and a choir for accompaniment. It was great!

[@dracaryslace]

I'm hearing the off tune flute rendition playing in my head just from looking at the thumbnail 😂

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Haha I think about that rendition every other day 😂

[@bethmw28]

I think that's now my brain's natural backing track at this point 😂

[@lionheart3290]

The Carpathia is the ship that helped the Titanic Survivors

[@hannarae4311]

I'm loving that your including the legos sets in your vlogs and its really neat to see them in person.

[@atlantisfrost52]

Really enjoyed this video! The Lego ties it together really well 😊 Another Titanic-themed book (although I haven't read it yet): A Million to One by Adiba Jaigirdar. It's a YA heist onboard the Titanic!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I miss Gavin in Rose from ‘Titanic’. Such a cultural moment. We need more drag content plz

[@billiep1603]

I love legos and building models so much so this is right up my alley

[@sorenkrane]

Loved this! The whole Titanic story is so fascinating. Thank you for another wonderful video. Hear me out: next year, trip to Belfast and/or South Hampton's Titanic museums/memorials (and more books). ❤

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Oh my gosh that would be a dream come true for me!

[@TheVictorianHours]

If you guys plan a Belfast trip I’ll be there!

[@Anna-dp8ee]

I adore your lego videos and I‘m sooooo happy you did another Titanic vlog! It was so much fun to watch

[@MissKyzoni]

Next year definitely recommend reading the memoirs about Violet Jessop who survived both the sinking of the Titanic and Britannic and the crashing of the Olympic, then proceeded to continue working on boats.

[@genny_s]

This is fabulous Gavin! You’ve inspired me to get into doing Lego sets (mostly botanical) and it’s so therapeutic listing to an audio book and building a kit. ❤

[@taebearmd]

I recently found your channel and am actually obsessed. I’ve been bingeing tons of your videos since last week. The amount of time and effort you put into every single one of your videos is actually incredible. I joined my first sprint with you and Merphy on Saturday and enjoyed it so much! You deserve so many more subscribers. Best believe I’ve been telling all of my reader friends about your channel. Keep doing what you’re doing! ☺️💜

[@meloveschocolate]

9:54 of course they ended up in the box 🤣🖤

[@PokhrajRoy.]

12:54 Max Miller has a great series on the Titanic’s menus

[@lostaj7287]

Your cats are absolutely adorable and i'm increedibly jealous you get to have them in your life

[@likechip]

The second I saw this thumbnail, I knew I wanted that LEGO set. Then I saw the price tag, and my dreams were crushed. 💔

[@OoOooowindy]

I love that you read "Raise the Titanic". I cut my teeth on Clive Cussler when I was in middle school and loved the Dirk Pitt books for years. I've grown out of them a bit as an adult (the misogyny never really improved with time), but they hold a special nostalgia for me!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

‘The Gilded Age’ is the prequel and ‘Downton Abbey’ is the sequel of ‘Titanic’.

[@sophiereads.x]

I’m loving the Lego content gavin, please continue building them in your videos! I also love and appreciate how respectful you are of the titanic tragedy. Really loved this video and I appreciate how long it was in the making❤

[@erinasarutobi2206]

Watching this video made me realize that I haven't really heard the cats' voices before??? There was just one part where one of them did and i was like "oh its the first time i remember hearing their voice!"

[@lettersfromlilly]

I never clicked a video so fast! Have you read “Luck of the Titanic”? I am a massive titanic fan and that was a great book imo. The way she describes the ship made me feel like I was there too!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I so wanted the audiobook for Luck of the Titanic for this video but it was a 2 week wait at my library :( I will read it one day!

[@lettersfromlilly]

@@GavinReadsItAll boooo. Well whenever you do get the chance it is a great read! Little sad, but so good 🩷

[@BookJedi84]

There is a book that recently came out called The Titanic Survivors Book Club

[@thecampinglibrarian]

I just saw this at my local Indie book store. It is a beautiful cover!

[@fanpiresam482]

As a child I was very into the Dear America book series and Magic Tree House and both of those have a story for the Titanic. And I'm sure there's other middle grade books since the movie sparked a cultural and historical phenomenon.

[@alissajoelle5443]

Yes! I loved the Dear America books as a kid!

[@lauraa1345]

I really enjoyed this reading vlog a lot! I'm also very fascinated by the Titanic and I absolutely love everything that centres on the ship (books, documentations, movies, etc.), so this video was perfect😊 🚢

[@leijen208]

I will be watching Titanic II with a glass of wine. Just you laughing and showing the scenes had me cracking up😂

[@ReadingNymph]

This was great. The titanic lego is huge! I'm impressed you managed to get it done!

[@shuwei9420]

YOUR CATS GAVIN UGH THEY ARE PERFECTION 🥰

[@TheHexedLibrary]

Tobu and Ash giving each other a bath in the box and then you lifting the flap and them both being like "What? We weren't doing nothing!" hahah cats crack me up man. Damn, did you have to say "The 1997 Titanic" because now I feel ancient. I love the way the lego ship turned out but for some reason I didn't expect it to be that massive. Like.. what are you going to do with it? Glue it together and hang it from the ceiling like a chandelier? This is the only thing that keeps me from buying Lego sets. I'd never be able to take them apart because of the work I put into them but also, what the heck do you do with them after? I think reading some non-fiction books on the titanic or survivors of, would be a good way to commemorate the day as well.

[@flwrchldbeck]

I love that you’re building the Lego titanic while you’re doing this! I’m fascinated by the story of the titanic.

[@lizzy9702]

I finally came around to finish watching this video! I love love looooOoove the titanic but I never read a book abiut or placed on it. The idea of reading non fiction stuff about titanic for next year sounds really good! And the lego build looks so gorgeous, I'm just a little bit envious 😅😅😅 great job and great video!! Enjoyed it a lot

[@KristinKravesBooks]

I live for you Lego videos. I find them so relaxing! I cannot believe how huge the Titanic ended up being. So cool!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Omg the Lego titanic is a DREAM purchase!!

[@oliviabradley1736]

When I was younger one of my favourite titanic-esque books was called Distant Waves. Looking back now I can see that book has lots of issues, but I ate it up as a teenager.

[@NorthStar3922]

I love your LEGO content - I turned back to LEGO last year for my mental health and it’s so nice to put down my phone and work on a set while listening to an audiobook.

[@Anonymouse1989]

today through tomorrow will be 112 years RIP to all who were lost on the Titantic

[@PokhrajRoy.]

2:43 Wow, that’s a lot of smart saving. Well done! I’m guessing you gave up coffee, wine and hazelnut pumps.

[@TheVictorianHours]

Aww I totally don’t blame you for DNFing Orphans of the Storm. I was so bored for the first like 250 pages but then the last 100 pages were much better. It’s a lot to get through.

[@blackraven7774]

hi gavin, it is nice to see that spark back in your eyes. this is a great reading series. keep going buddy😇

[@KittyAndTheBooks]

A Titanic book I liked was Luck of the Titanic. It highlighted that there were Chinese people on the ship, too, and what happened to them.

[@JennaThePanda]

So excited, I love the adult legos and the titanic set looks so cool 🤩

[@NakiasHideaway]

I'm always here to watch Gavin put together a LEGO set. And Tobu and Ash cuteness too?! 🐈‍⬛️🐈‍⬛️ Yes please! So cozy! ☕️ I cannot believe you put that whole set together, Gavin! Wowee! 😮 🙆🏾‍♀️

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Hi Gavin! I put out a Titanic reading vlog yesterday too. We only overlapped with one book. HOLY SMOKES that lego.

[@devsea]

First book to come to mind when i saw this vid was Adiba Jairgirdar's 'A Million to One'. Havent read it yet but its definitely moved up my tbr now. I hope you can figure out a way to do a part two as i think you've awakened everyone's childhood obsession

[@wishingonabook]

7:23 Ugh I know exactly what you mean. The overused word thing was my problem with tomorrow x3. I need someone with a digital copy to tell me how many times the word “ameliorate” was used because it felt like it was every other sentence.

[@avsambart]

Gav, words cannot explain how much I love you for doing another Titanic video!!! I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW ❤

[@DontEffWithMeKid]

A couple of months ago, I read Carpathia by Jay Ludowyke, and absolutely loved it. The focus is on the Carpathia, but the Titanic tragedy is a big part of Carpathia's story. I recommend that one, if you'd like to read about another amazing ship, and about some of the events that took place after the sinking of Titanic, and the rescue of the survivors.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Ooo thank you for the recommendation!

[@becky9194]

Giving a book 223 pages is impressive before having to DNF. You made it further than I could have.

[@holdenbeach4ever]

The lego set is incredible!! You always go all out on a theme 🎉

[@Emiliemooles]

Ahhh this is such a fun video idea!

[@tammi6771]

I've always been interested in the Titanic. I have several non-fiction books. I struggle with fiction books that take place on the Titanic when the characters don't seem to act how they would for the time period. My favorite, though, is Titanic The Long Night by Diane Hoh. I've read it several times. The lego Titanic looks great

[@dawnnicholson9675]

OMG! That's massive Gavin!.. 😂😂 well done for completing the Titanic. Really enjoyed your video..✨✨

[@Aigra]

Titanic 2 (sink harder) is pretty popular with fans of The Asylum (the same people who are responsible for Sharknado). If you want to get drunk really fast - pick one of the extras and take a drink whenever you see your extra reappear in a crowd scene. They reused the same couple of people so many times ...

[@PokhrajRoy.]

10:55 Gavin with his future Kurosawa

[@celiarangitsch3117]

So my great-great grandmother had a first class ticket for the Titanic, but never made it to the ship because her train was late. She actually telegrammed ahead and had them give her ticket away to someone. Crazy, right?!

[@beckyduff]

I am finally getting to this vlog!! I definitely need to watch Titanic 2 with our friends!

[@SheeshAleesh0718]

The boys were so thrilled with their new boxes 😂

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Makes the price of it worth it haha

[@Emily_Ann.]

Hi Gavin I love your channel. If you are interested in The Titanic you should try Blood and Salt by Hubert Mullins. It's a book set on the RMS Titanic with a vampire twist. It was fantastic!

[@gabbyreads]

That Titanic Lego set is so cool 🤯😍

[@MoJordanReads]

I loved having the Lego content in this! & amazing job on the build!!

[@TheVictorianHours]

I didn’t know until this weekend that the cursed mummy that was rumoured to be on board was owned by Molly Brown. She was transporting several large crates from Egypt.

[@BecxReadz]

Who says giant cats weren't on the Titanic. Great job on the build.

[@kimberleereads]

I was/am equally obsessed with the Titanic. Have you ever played the Titanic: Adventure Out of Time game?! It’s from the 90s but you can still get it on PC through Steam I believe and on Mac with an emulator. I replayed it a few years ago and it’s still so fun.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I didn't and I only found out about it a couple of weeks ago when the KZbin channel Titanic Honor and Glory did a live show playing it, I was bummed I never ever played it before!

[@TheJennyPeanuts]

Love this idea and I like seeing you do the Lego sets - it’s relaxing ❤

[@uskatpai]

More of a tangential Titanic story; I worked at a video rental store when Titanic 2 came out, and we had multiple people ask if it was a direct sequel to Titanic.

[@tamarapretlor1672]

I love everything about this, I am currently building the Titanic on bag 16

[@anikamercier2651]

Wow, it came out soooo good! You need put in a place of honor! This was so fun!

[@oliviac712]

Loved this Gavin! Also can we throwback to your Waterstones discount card music video when you sang My Heart Will Go On? Beautiful in my opinion 😂I would really recommend reading 'A Night to Remember' book by Walter Lord. I've just finished reading it and it was PHENOMENAL! One of the best pieces of non-fiction I've ever read.

[@allgirlreview433]

Love this cozy side of you.

[@docfrancis5882]

This is such an awesome video! I have ADHD and Titanic History is one of my main hyperfixations, so this tickles my brain in the best way possible! Also, it’s my birthday today, so this fun to watch while I chill

[@GavinReadsItAll]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 🥳

[@bookthoughtswitheilish]

I love the Lego content Gavin! It's making me want to try it myself ☺ it seems like such a cozy thing to do!

[@KathleenSelden]

I am SCREAMING at how bad Titanic II is…I need to watch this immediately 😂😭

[@katherinevdkirk]

Dear Gavin, the little weird lego hobby, infecting this vlog is the spice of my day today. It's delicious! 🥰

[@turnthepaige7347]

Gavin! Such a fun vlog! You inspired me to create my own Booktube! Also LOVE the Lego content it’s so fun! I’m now thinking of buying some myself :)

[@esmeloadesu]

Super interesting! Loved the concept of the video :)

[@cilleforest]

Yes to the Word thing. Reading cassandra clair made me want to puke everytime i read the word parabatai 😂😂😂😂

[@AshleyRebecca]

I am loving the Lego videos! Might be a new fav thing!!

[@kate.kate.222]

I wanted to love The Deep but it also didn’t hit for me. Not the Titanic, but a creepy novel focused on a shipwreck that I loved was From Below by Darcy Coates, it was fantastic!

[@ninarasm]

I’ve been looking forward to this vlog! I loved the lego set. Well done!

[@TheBluehollywood]

Love your vlogs Gav 🥰 and you have the cutest cats…I’m so jelly 😍. Our cat is not cuddly lol he’s a ginger demon 😆. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your content, it is so appreciated especially on days when I need a pick me up 🤗💖.

[@sauronbagginsd8032]

Amazon Prime has the 1979 SOS Titanic movie (the longer TV cut)

[@TheVictorianHours]

RMS Titanic Inc. is doing another expedition down to the wreck site this summer. I wonder if they’ll find anything new? I know a lot of the trip is to map out the current state of the wreckage but maybe something has become unburied in the debris field. I’m so curious

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Celia Imrie is absolutely iconic and fabulous! Watch out for her in ‘Good Grief’.

[@tish_has_plans_to_read]

Absolutely love this video!! And the Lego content!! The story of the Titanic is a heartbreaking one for sure ❤ but complete side note, if you love bad movies you should watch Grease 2 😂

[@welshreader]

Loved this video! I’ve had a fascination with the Titanic ever since I first watched the film and I literally cry from the moment they board the ship because I know what’s coming😅 The Lego is amazing🤩 I’m pretty sure you could use a credit card for a puncture wound because it’s thin enough and would stop air coming in and out! I can remember something from my First Aid course about it but that whole sequence of clips had me in tears😂

[@ghosttownpoltergeist]

I just read a book about a documentary team investigating a sunken passenger ship. Very similar Titanic vibes for sure. From Below by Darcy Coates. Not my favorite by her but still good, especially since I have thalasaphobia

[@ToCoziesAndBeyond]

I’m pretty sure I read Something’s Alive on Titanic in high school. I remember it was a fun ride. Not a good book, but fun to read.

[@wendyvilla2904]

💚🖤 Gavin "I'm a lego boy now" My ears hearing Gavin say..I'm a let's go boy now. Me Gavin you bad bad boy 😂

[@morganarosana]

Don't worry about the Lego thing, do what makes you happy

[@tristanmckay6175]

Great video! I used to work at the Titanic Artifact Exhibition and we had a few paranormal experiences there…been kind of afraid of the Titanic ever since. Not a Titanic book, but have you read The Terror by Dan Simmons? I think it has exactly what you’re looking for in terms of maritime horror, tragedy at sea, claustrophobic settings, etc.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Ooo I haven’t, thank you for the recommendation, I’m intrigued 👀 also paranormal experiences at the titanic artefact exhibition??? Ooooo

[@autumnfolkringa4313]

Gavin I LOVE this idea for a video!!

[@awpageofabook]

The titanic and sinking boats were my hyperfixation when I was like 10 or something 😂

[@lizzy9702]

You're out there living my dreams 😍

[@TheJennyPeanuts]

…also, your cats are adorable 😍❤️

[@TheDaniMarie0403]

Im a huge Titanic historian. I would say best fictional Titanic story is a middle grade from the Dear America book series. Also i loved Tonight on the Titanic from the amagic Treehouse Series as a kid. A little older middle grade that was pretty good was Ice Berg by Jennifer A Nielsen. I read a weird series called Titanic by Gordon Korman that like combines the Titanic and Jack the Ripper... it was an acquired taste lol. Best non fic was Titanic : Voices from the Disaster by Deborah Hopkins. I wanna say that one was YA but it was just very factual and informative.

[@ariana.bookowl]

I read A Night to Remember by Walter Lord in high school. I guess it's a classic but I honestly couldn't tell you anything else about the book. 😂
