What you said about Nightwatching when it comes to women and bravery. How it’s just us trying to live our everyday lives. As a mother I really felt that. I have this book on my Libby hold and can’t wait to read!

[@Showtunediva]

Thanks for recommending the poetry book Gabby. I will look for it at the library. ❤

[@mattthepageturner9128]

so happy you liked Nightwatching! I also ended up bumping it from a 4 to a 5 star because it's one i think about quite a lot after reading it a few months ago, it has slow parts but the overall story really sits with you.

[@anikamercier2651]

I loved Just for the Summer too and it made me cry a bit too.

[@yoonminhope13]

i also cried through the last half of just for the summer. it was SO GOOD!

[@notthemostread]

I just finished Just for the Summer! I cried a lot reading it.

[@rebekahmackenzie]

Your vlogs are great! You convinced me to read Just For the Summer

[@gabbyreads]

Ahhh thank you!! I hope you enjoy it too!

[@sheyannestewart]

Yess I was waiting for your thoughts on so many of these books!! Just for the summer had be sobbing so bad it was crazy!! 😂😂

[@17caria]

You nailed this readathon, and this was with you under the weather!

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you!! 🥹💗

[@elisehartmann6751]

Tank is so cute 😍 and i love watching your videos and getting more books to add to my never ending TBR

[@TheArtfulBrittani]

I felt similar about Murder Road. I wanted a harder lean into the creepy/spooky aspects. Can't wait for the liveshow though!

[@sheyannestewart]

I couldn’t figure out how I was feeling about nightwatching and you just perfectly put it in to words for me!! I also tabbed that quote I loved it. I think I’m lading with a 3 star.

[@mrsrilling]

Felt the same about Murder Road.

[@yudofuki5160]

Oh, I feel you. GERD can be really awful. I just found out yesterday that I have it too. What a coincidence! Hope you feel better soon!❤

[@anikamercier2651]

Your dog is so cute! He looks a bit like a grumpy old man sitting next to you on the couch. 😂🐶

[@LanaMaria816]

GERD is no joke. I’ve suffered with it for the last 4 years and am also in the middle of a bad flare up. I hope you feel better soon!

[@gabbyreads]

I’m sorry I hope you feel better soon too! ❤

[@esliet]

Can’t wait to read Just for the Summer , you have so excited

[@ssd1453]

I can't wait to read just for the summer- I felt exactly the same way as you about yours truly! The conflict got SO annoying for me!

[@NamasteBbooktube]

Great vlog Gabby

[@Julesbooksandthings]

I had a lot going on reading wise this month, so I didn't get to do the readathon with you guys, but I'm glad you had so much fun. I actually really like Murder Road. haha. Can't wait for the book discussion.

[@KarianneC]

I cried for the last third of Just for The summer ❤

[@melissajeaninexx]

I LOVED just for the summer

[@MikaelaShea]

I thought Nightwatching was incredibly suspenseful, especially in the first 100 pages!

[@Madi88886]

I gave Murder Road ⭐️⭐️ so much potential, but it never stuck the landing for me.

[@raynahailey]

I can’t wait to read the new Abby jimenez book!!

[@janesocalgal2278]

I'm so glad that you liked Just For The Summer. Did you get all the Easter Egg characters? I missed them. all of them were from previous books. Emma's mom Amber (I don't remember her) Neil (Alexis' ex from a previous book) omg, I need to read this series again. I rarely dwell on Easter eggs in books. I was told that each book is a standalone, so I don't know why so many readers are harping on the previous characters.

[@gabbyreads]

Omg I only noticed Neil, and then I thought I noticed the characters from Yours Truly too! But I might’ve missed the others haha 🤭

[@sherriewhite5348]

Part of your world is really tied into Just For The Summer. Yours truly is also wrapped up in it. There’s even a couple of ties to the happily ever after playlist. I think it’s fun to spot the Easter eggs. ❤❤❤

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

You’ve convinced me to read just for the summer 👀

[@gabbyreads]

😍😍😍

[@ReadingNymph]

Im not a massive romance reader but I now want to read Just For The Summer

[@brittanyb223]

I spent my Saturday reading Just for the Summer and also crying a lot. It hurt me in the best way lol

[@bethwhetsell9566]

Added Night Watcher to my TBR. I liked Murder Road but it did leave me wanting more. I have husbands and The Wives, my BOTM picks next on my reading pile. Interested to hear your review of the books.

[@erinsbooks]

From what I've heard of T.S"s new album, I like it.

[@elisabarfuss3358]

Are you doing Summerween read-a-thon this year??

[@angelaholmes8888]

I was wondering the same thing

[@gabbyreads]

Yes!!! Announcement will be coming soon in my May TBR video 🥰

[@elisabarfuss3358]

@@gabbyreads sweet!! I'm so stoked!!! I've been doing it every year and it's made my summer amazing!

[@johnandhollywood]

I thought I had allergies too and nope I have a cold and it sucks. I went to the emergency room a couple of days ago because I have heart issues and of course this guy was coughing and now I have a cold.

[@gabbyreads]

Aw no I’m sorry that sucks 😭😭

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great vlog 📚☕

[@alexandrakeckmontanari5180]

I hope you feel better my allergies have been so bad where i cant tell If I had a cold and acid reflux it sucks nice video though feel better 💜

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you!! I hope you feel better too!! ❤

[@mekiiiiiiiiii]

I barely read romance, BUT I’m so intrigued to read „Just For The Summer“! It happened to me so often, that I dated someone, didn’t work out, they found they partner soon after. Even if they were single for a long time 😅

[@izattyu6863]

Its a trilogy - part of your world, yours truly, and only for the summer. I super suggest reading in order. It will be so much more fulfilling. All 3 are great. I also do not read romance. Only Abbey Jimenez and Emily Henry.

[@izattyu6863]

Omg. Just for the Summer and TTPD had more twists and surprises than any thriller I have read in the last year. 😮😅 Also, I am much older than you and have had GERD since being your age. First, you should research fixing gerd with apple cider vinegar. Some people need more acid rather than less to fix the problem. But if that doesn’t work talk to your doc about long term use of prilosec. It heals your esophagus and relieves all the pain. I have been on it a long long time and I am fine. And there is now more research on long term use and it seems to be ok. GERD does give you sinus problems, post nasal drip, sore throat etc. There is also a surgery you can have to fix GERD. My friend had it and couldn’t be happier but she also did not get relief from Prilosec. Feel better!!!

[@donnajago]

I have just come accross your channel, and have just brought " Just For The Summer" I can't wait to start, but OMG I am exhaused listening to you, you talk so fast 😆

[@anaos1004]

Hi Gabby! MD here. This is probably not my place to say anything, and I’m sure you’ve had this conversation with your physician, but I noticed in this video, and some of your past videos you complaining about your GERD flare-up’s, so I just wanted to come here real quick, and just list some modifications you can do in your lifestyle to try and control it some more. Cutting sodas, coffee, acidic drinks, sparkling drinks, alcohol, stop using tight clothes, like bras, tight pants, and stuff like that, not lying down 2 to 3 hours after you’ve had a meal, eating in small portions throughout the day are just some of the things you can do to help control your GERD. If none of this helps, your physician can also add proton pump inhibitors, like pantoprazole or esomeprazole. I’m sorry if this is unwanted advice, I know how it can be annoying people coming to your comments and giving unsolicited advice. If you or other people think this comment is unnecessary, I apologize, and I’ll delete it. But as a Physician, it’s hard for me to see a someone suffering with a medical condition and not say anything. I hope you can feel better soon and get control of your GERD. ❤

[@elisabarfuss3358]

I love this video!!!!

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you!!

[@landscapesofink]

I was super excited for Night Watching but now I think I'm not really wanting to read it haha. I wanted the creepy aspect rather than the commentary/life stuff

[@sharath_95]

☺️💯❤

[@alyrica0505]

Great video!! My thoughts about T. Swifts new album; i relate so hard with The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived. It takes me back 30 or so years where I went through an unfortunate phase of dating men who f'd with my head then ghosted me. I am kind of sad that that song is not getting more recognition. The female rage coming through in the bridge is both delicious and vindicating in a way. I also love Who's Afraid of Little Old Me and The Black Dog. I haven't connected with Fortnight sadly. Melodically, I wanted more umph.

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you!! The smallest man who ever lived is such a powerful song!! Especially that bridge

[@Cafe_Scribbles]

Not me being too busy this week to participate in the Readathon 😭😭 🫶🏻🫶🏻 thanks for being amazing!

[@autumnritchie1473]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@sassysarahreads]

If you want a thriller/horror novel home invasion book, check out Anybody Home? It’s told from the perspective of the home invaders.

[@sassysarahreads]

@tulikaxxx5258 Michael J. Seidlinger

[@nicolecamela5261]

Have you read “Bone Saw” by Patrick Lacey? It’s a complete horror slash gore. Recommend reading the book.

[@gabbyreads]

No I haven’t!! 👀

[@jessm2913]

I think I must be the only one who doesn't like reading soft cinnamon hero's lol.

[@Tarasreadingnook]

Murder Road is the weakest took by her.
