I Have to Like My Friends’ Favourite Books or I Unsubscribe from Their Channel 📚 Episode 4

[@BooksandLala]

the fact that I got bumped down 3 spots by 3 books *I also* gave 5 stars makes me feel very powerful.

[@KatieColson]

Watching you struggle with brain fog while being sick and not being able to physically read while I’m feeling like absolute *ss, is so relateable. It’s like we’re having a sick sleepover.

[@gabbyreads]

Omg I’m so honored to be included in this video series!!! And I’m so happy and relieved to hear that you enjoyed Near the Bone! Lol I love how I messaged you right when you started reading it hahaha 😂 Project Hail Mary and Finlay Donovan are some of my all time faves as well so I was also so happy to see you read those and love those too! 😍

[@lyssareadsbooks4169]

Who tf bullied Gavin for 2 years? If it’s a booktuber I wanna make sure I’m not following them. Love your videos, Gavin, good for you for standing up for yourself!

[@livslibrary]

OH MY GOSH! I’ve never been more excited, yet so scared in my life. 😂

[@livslibrary]

Awwwww you loved Finlay & OMG the highest rated?! AND favorite book of the year?! I’m dead! 🥹💀 It makes me so happy to hear the book inspired you so much to write again! Love you Gav! ♥️

[@livslibrary]

Vero is in the 2nd book a lot more! 👏🏻

[@NakiasHideaway]

Same, Liv! 😬😄

[@NakiasHideaway]

I should've known Finlay Donovan would take the lead cause it's one of my favorites too. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@beckyduff]

I feel like it would be so exciting and scary to have a big booktuber reading one of your favs! 😬😬😬 Finlay is a good one though and I also enjoyed the sequel.

[@avsambart]

20:00 Personally: Trigger warnings should not be and are not spoilers. 24:25 I'm being so nosey this episode, I do apologise. Just, if you were my friend, I'd be questioning why it's you that has to move. 31:05 OMG YOU HAVE MA DAO ZU SHI!! Have you seen the tv show or the anime show? OMG WHEN DID YOU GET THAT?! I am so excited for you! This series has RUINED my life for over a year now. It's SO GOOD. 37:40 You made a good call. It's your house. Don't feel guilty, it's completely understandable how you feel and how you felt you were living at home again being confind to only your bedroom.

[@StephLoves]

Ohhh Gav I bloody loved this. And I'm so happy that you loved The Nature of Witches. It's made me so so happy. I'm really glad you enjoyed Project Hail Mary too cause I also enjoyed that book. And you've made me even more hyped to pick up Finlay so yay 🎉 thanks for including me boo. Love you the most ❤️❤️❤️

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Thanks for watching and being a participant in this episode Steph, love ya! ❤️

[@NakiasHideaway]

Gavin, I was so nervous to watch this! 👀 But yay so glad you enjoyed Project Hail Mary! Sorry about the existential crisis though. 😳🤭 And I should've expected Finlay Donovan to win cause it's one of my favorite too. Wishing you all the best with your home situation. You did what's best for you. Sending much love! 🖤 And the kitty bath was just too precious for words! 😻

[@ellys106]

Your comments about sci-fi prompting existential crisis is so relatable. I used to read a lot of sci-fi but it's almost always about the universe in danger or what makes us human or settling a new planet or it's dystopian and I can't handle the weight lol

[@natcommon]

I’m so glad you’ve not only enjoyed these books, but talked with your roommate to get your space back. You’re mental health is important and I’m so glad you did. ❤️❤️❤️

[@LynnetteReads]

Gav I know you feel horrible about your friend but you have done the right thing. Long term if you hadn't said anything it would have ruined your friendship.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

The thumbnail feels like the Poster for a Cutesy Teen Drama. I love it! I love all of your hoodies btw. They’re fabulous 👏🏽

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Haha love that

[@asiantrumbles1604]

I was in a similar situation with my best friend and living together. Some people are definitely not fit to live together, and its a tough situation to talk through. However, my best friend and i are still besties after our rough roomie times and a small break, so i have high hopes for your and your house mate. Proud of you for taking the initiative to be true to your feelings on this! ❤❤

[@Sheep_commemoi]

I SPY THE MXTX! You are the first booktuber I've seen with them!

[@lizzy9702]

Omg I'm watching this while sick and it's so relatable lol. Also I loved project hail Mary. It's one of my favourites from 2022

[@ladylovesteadreads]

Separating work from personal life is such a challenge when working from home. Sending you the biggest hugs.

[@teenathomas7057]

Thank you for sharing your inner self with us. Glad you had the convo w/your housemate and that he's able to find something so quickly. Our mental health affects our physical health so hopefully both will be good going into the new year. Looking forward to another episode of this series because of the diversity of the books that comes up.

[@angelaconstantian8476]

Project Hail Mary legit made it to my top ten of all time and that's sooooo hard to do. I just adore that book! So glad you enjoyed it too!

[@AbiofPellinor]

The suspense, the tension, we love

[@arobinreads]

The lotr music 🤣🤣🤣 Question: did you say that you were moving out? Hope you didn't say that, because it's your house 😅 - later of in the video: so glad you asked him. So lovely of you to help him out, but you need your space.

[@hannahblackwellbooks]

Omg I love how you have them coming in like game show participants 😂❤

[@elizabethgordon1515]

Gavin says he wants drama and scandal from these vlogs but he doesn't acquire it from reading or booktube just from life experiences 😂😂😂 peak content lol

[@awpageofabook]

ok i can't wait for this video. this is probably my favourite series on your channel!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Ahhh hope you enjoy 🥰

[@krisprepolec5616]

Glad that you are on the mend❤ I loved Project Hail Mary. His friend was my favourite. I was actually pleased with the ending.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Gavin, your normal voice and deep voice are both awesome. Let no one tell you otherwise.

[@judithcakelover]

Yes Jessie's video was amazing at one point I missed the beard on them 😆 And how they did your accent it was amazing.

[@judithcakelover]

I love the cute scenes with Tobu & Ash and OMG! That One Piece christmas shirt!😍😍

[@skye.elizabeth]

I’m so happy you liked Finlay Donovan! I recommend that book to anyone that will listen! It’s so fun and the audiobook is so good!

[@zara6472]

The plot to Finlay Donovan reminds me of Horrible Bosses, the 2011 movie which is so funny. I like cosy mysteries where you don't have to think about the dead body and get to have fun. So glad you had such a great reading experience this vlog x

[@starry_worlds]

I've had a few issues with my living situation and you talking about your living situation has made me realise that I need to move out of where I'm living atm as I'm not happy. I hope your living situation gets better for you 💚

[@Jillybeanzxo]

What a wonderful surprise this Sunday morning! I love this series! 🥳🥳

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Hehe have a lovely Sunday!

[@cindywingetbooks]

I loved Project Hail Mary and Near the Bone. Finley Donavan is waiting for me on the shelf. Perhaps I need to get Nature of Witches as well 😉

[@amymalski]

I really appreciate what you do and sharing with us your ups and downs. Hugs and good lucks for your future stuffs.

[@gailxoxo7286]

Glad you loved finlay Donovan and project hail Mary. Now I want to read the other 2, you made them sound so good. Have you ever tried the Stephanie Plum books. You may enjoy them.x

[@OnlyIfForAPage]

I'm really enjoying this series :- ) I totally loved Project Hail Mary, that friendship was just amazing. When you mention moving, my thoughts immediately go to "oooh, more unhauls? 😍" :- )) Finlay was so good, I also loved Vero :- )

[@riankoch9126]

So proud of you for asking for you space back! You’ll definitely be letting out a breathe you didn’t know you were holding in. In further good news, because you’re so late to the Finlay Donovan train book 3 is out late January so you can read the sequels real soon!

[@ILoveJahangeer]

Oh Gavy, I do love ya! Glad you’re feeling better. Loved the video as always!

[@ReadingNymph]

Tackling your anxiety and broaching that topic with your flatmate is such a difficult thing to do, you did amazing 🌟 Glad you liked Near the Bone, Ive been thinking about getting Finlay Donovan is Killing it and this just confirms it

[@thetrueolivia]

Sorry you've felt that way in your our home. I've been in that situation many times and it's so mentally wearing on a person. Sorry you've had to go through that. Hopefully you'll feel better soon

[@jaimeerindy4573]

LOVED Project Hail Mary as well ❤

[@lolapunk20]

I have two physical books I want to read before the end of the year. SJM Sky & Breath and Lonely Castle in the Mirror, then I’d have read my whole physical book TBR this year.

[@boxersandbooks]

I have the same existential crisis when i think about space, dystopia, etc. But a good sci-fi series that doesn't do that for me is the Murderbot series. It is amazing and light, fun sci-fi

[@sheramelton3583]

Are those shirts called Basketball Tees in the UK? We call them Baseball tees in the US.

[@mbk120]

I love this series. 😊

[@MichaelaChristineReads]

I absolutely adore Finlay Donovan is Killing It,! It makes me so happy that you loved it too

[@RealForUs]

I peep the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation on your shelf 👀

[@queenkim8631]

I love your edition of Near the Bone! I also, loved the one piece merch you bought😁🏴‍☠️

[@vampirekeeley]

So glad this went so well!! I love Finley Donovan🤩 also Liv is the best

[@jessicagolden1631]

Replacing my comment with this but yay for living by yourself again! It’s going to be so nice and take off some of that stress :)

[@NamasteBbooktube]

This is a great vlog and a great idea for a series too

[@BRhymesss]

I’m so happy you found so many books you loved this episode! I’m sorry you’ve been dealing with so much stress/anxiety recently and I completely understand the difficulty when you aren’t comfortable with your living situation. Been there and it was awful. But I am so happy that that’s been at least partially alleviated now that you have sorted that out. Thanks for the great content as always 💜

[@tawnyachristensen7310]

I'm glad you read The Nature of Witches, I bought it but didn't get to it during Spooky season.

[@Rachellovesbooks96]

Loved this! I'm tempted to do this but just with my friend's books but I don't wanna annoy them if I don't like their books lol. BTW I NEED to know where you got your coffin shelves. Stunning

[@exomake_mehorololo]

Another installment in my favourite drama!! 😁😋 Let's go!!

[@billiep1603]

I relate to your comments on sci-fi. I wish I could read it but I will definitely spiral and get in a bad place.

[@nonfictionfeminist]

I LOVE Near the Bone!! Still my favorite book I read this year

[@hannahblackwellbooks]

I HAVE to read Near the Bone this winter!

[@hannahblackwellbooks]

N I’ve have Project Hail Mary on my TBR forever it’s one of my 2023 books I need to read for sure. So happy you enjoyed it!!

[@cleg78]

Absolutely loving this vlog, Near the bone I agree is a heavy read. I had to inform a friend of mine not to read it. It had its shocks for sure and the writing is good

[@cleg78]

Gav I am so so fucking proud of you. I had to keep pausing video getting jobs done and I am so bloody proud of you for telling your housemate to go (No offence housemate if you read this), Gav don’t feel awful, I don’t mean to be heartless but it was your house and you have had to shut yourself away and trap your cats in etc. Spread your wings and pls don’t feel guilty. You won’t have to go anywhere and the house is familiar to the boys. You may rekindle your love for the house once you change things up in the house xx So so proud Gav xx

[@paperbacksgalore]

omg this is probably my fave series of yours, I love when booktubers read their friends’ faves and I also get to discover more booktubers!!

[@365801]

Me checking out what's on your yaoi shelf 👀 It is honestly difficult to be a manga and book collector because manga just takes up so much space! But you are down that rabbit hole now, so I say, just enjoy it!

[@KayanKollyn]

Kayan Kollyn ❤ The great fantasy adventure saga book series by V VN Mangukiya 😊😊 My favourite book after Harry Potter 😊😊😊 Waiting for your review ❤❤❤

[@jamiemarsh3422]

Love this episode ♥️!

[@Alex18630]

I’m trying to find a one bedroom so I can have my own space because living with 3 other people (current situation) or going back to parents (have gone back to every now and then) is hard on my mental health, but things are so expensive 😢

[@brittanywaynestilphen4685]

Omgggg finlay is my 10000% favorite series

[@cakt1991]

While there isn’t a sequel, Rachel Griffin has written another witchy book, Wild is the Witch, which is stylistically similar!

[@kylieweitz]

Gavin- If you like the second Finley book, there is a third book coming out soon. 🙂📚

[@Neil-writer-author]

Since you liked Finlay try the sequel Finlay Donovan knocks ‘em dead.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Gavin dancing on the edge of a knife by setting a challenge where he might unsubscribe from a channel. Idk how you do it.

[@Elle_Riley]

checked my local book store's website for Are You Afraid of the Dark? and they have book 13 "The Tale of the Three Wishes" as a used copy for $5 (CAD) so hit me up if you want me to grab that and send it along! there's no picture of the cover but it's listed as being in 'very good condition'.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Oh my gosh can you DM me on Instagram potentially 👀

[@Elle_Riley]

@@GavinReadsItAll absolutely! it'll be from 'itse11eni' :)

[@mariajohnson2294]

Poor Gav!! 🤗🤗😞

[@PokhrajRoy.]

The previous video had you spit out coffee and now fake coughing leads to real coughing. Get well soon!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Thank you! Fortunately the start of this vlog was filmed at the start of the month and I’m much better now 😄

[@PokhrajRoy.]

@@GavinReadsItAll Happy to heart that ♥️

[@JessicaRoseReads]

📚📚✨

[@ScorpAyo]

I got here from your one piece videos. I care

[@daniellehinton9607]

💛💛💛

[@courtneyb8033]

why don't you ask the room mate to move out it was your house first

[@Magicme79]

And so the next zoonotic plague begins. Also, the universe won’t end because of global warming, so you can stop worrying about that one :P

[@allgirlreview433]

I loved Hail Mary! 🚀⭐⭐⭐🪐

[@AwkwardBookworm]

I literally just bought my boyfriend that hoodie lol 🥹 so comfy
