[@GavinReadsItAll]

So there is a major update on the NEIGHBOUR DRAMA that happened this morning but this vlog had already been edited and uploaded, so I’ll be giving an update in an upcoming vlog for “reading books you think I’ll give 5 stars”. Let’s just say that I might be getting involved 👀

[@izzyyy...]

Omg THE ANTICIPATION!! Gavin Reads It All is literally the new TV Drama everyone's tuning in to

[@danimorin6283]

this is unfair. now i need to KNOW NOW. when's this new video coming out?? 😄

Things you can only get away with saying if you have a British accent ☕️😆

[@ragdollrose2687]

[@kaylamashike2259]

[@gabbyreads]

“If I say it five times it’s five words” hahaha yeah why not 😂

[@gabbyreads]

I love that you’re promoting using your local library 👏

[@michellecgb]

Your face when “it’s a library, it is a library” SENT ME hahahahahaha 😂😂😂

[@SammiCantRead]

playing powerwash simulator while listening to audiobooks is simply the best thing in the entire world

[@GavinReadsItAll]

1000% agree, it just scratches a part of my brain

[@gabbyreads]

I love that you’ve been repping the shirts all week that’s amazing 🥹💖

[@matthewclarke]

Can't wait for the next episode of the neighbour drama. My library is also a small willy.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

We love all willies, big and small, on this channel 🫶🏼

[@iceyreads7454]

Forgive my American shock my friend....gonna make a day trip to go an hour away?? I laugh because it takes almost an hour to get from one side of my city to the other just to go shop...also love you lots!! Mwah 😘

@@BookJedi84 my cats probably hate me haha they’re like “daaadddd leave us alone”

[@dracaryslace]

The libraries are like willies section had me laughing so gd hard, I love you Gav 😂❤

[@christinebell1939]

I love how you talk about libraries! They're so great!! You should be able to go on to the library online catalogue at the library and, if you find a book you want from a different library, you should be able to order it FROM your local library and have it sent to your library. I hope that makes sense. That way you don't have to go an hour away. 💗

[@becky9194]

Thank you for supporting your local library and encouraging us to do the same. I love my library.

[@pullenthreads]

Okay reading 8 books while moving, unpacking, and dealing with your neighbor drama! You killed it, i'm so impressed. Amazing vlogs

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I love the grey flower wall 🥹

[@Hillary429]

The other cover of Someone You Can Build a Nest In is a completely different vibe! Like horror versus cozy fantasy, what the hell???

[@zara6472]

I have made a personal challenge to visit as many libraries within a 30 minute commuting distance as I can that is covered by my library card. The smaller libraries have limited opening hours and there are 50 libraries in my county! It's great to browse and borrow lots and then return the books at my local library. Each library has it's own vibe and i'm enjoying exploring different communities where the libraries are too.

[@zara6472]

Also your library/Costa montage in time to the song is amazing to watch. I watched it 3 times before moving on with your vlog

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Ahh so happy to see you loved boys in the valley! I also love your editing in the library bit where you synced it to the music. So well done! Book Beat only going up to 2x speed frustrates me even though I usually am at 2x speed anyway. But sometimes the narrators speak so slowly that I am happy at 2.25x. That is a very cool cover for something to build a nest in!

[@penbeatssword7350]

I've started using my local library because of your library series! I'm moving house soon and will go from a small willy to a biggun soon! Can't wait 😉

[@_jo-jo_]

My local library has a system called Spydus, that you can look through and then if you find a book you like the look of, you can reserve it online and they will send it to your requested library. Hope that helps😊

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

The music choices in these videos, sublime!

[@JoJo-is-the-name]

Gavin as someone who lives in the bible belt in the USA, I'd die to have the small willy library you have haha. Half our shelves are empty, they're literally banned from having rainbows on display on the corkboards... even if its not pride related... and 50% of the books are Christian Romance novels with 0 queer lit. I solely survive off my library's hoopla online rentals because theres nothing here :(

[@beaubooks7287]

This is really sad. I’m sorry 😢

[@amandadorner]

I'm so sorry! Do you have access to Libby as well? Having both Hoopla and Libby should give you a pretty good selection❤

[@JoJo-is-the-name]

@@amandadorner Yes I love Libby too! The selection is still not large but between them both I've been able to get a good chunk of the books/audiobooks I want! They actually have queer lit on those apps so I'm so grateful that hasn't been censored

[@amandadorner]

@JoJo-je6kq I'm glad you have Libby too! I agree, they have a great selection of queer books and authors on there. You can also get digital library cards to big library systems, even from a different state (the New York public library, for example). They have lots of great resources! Hang in there❤️❤️

[@roxieswonderousworld]

I am loving your Summerween vlogs Gav! Your library looked cozy. Little willies need love too! ❤😂 👻

[@Artractive_]

I love thrifting books! It’s how I found so many that I love in my little collection. ✨🥰

[@thevintagegarden]

I just love your videos! ❤ they bring such joy 😊

[@GavinReadsItAll]

@@thevintagegarden thank you 🫶🏼

[@kayceek7]

Gavin has reacted to people's bookshelves, maybe he should react to our local libraries because all libraries matter but they are all so different!

[@the_reading_apprentice]

Honestly, I would love watching that!

[@kayceek7]

@@the_reading_apprentice Right! It’s sounds so fun!

[@kaesinfinitelibrary]

AHHHH LIBRARY TOUR!!!! I love going to my local library and my college town library which has a cafe inside (thankfully I live close enough to still go post-graduating)!!! Interlibrary loan is my best friend but I adore browsing libraries and finding what I want in real time 👏🏻 I think it's so cool you have a manga channel!!! I've love Spy x Family and Yona of the Dawn!

[@jessicabridges4335]

My family: Why do you watch Gavin?!?! Me: I get it all books, laughter, and a travel list to go whenever I make it to the UK, drama, and animals! Dont judge me... 😂

[@joylynn0620]

Good God! That library metaphor! 😂

[@rootingbranches]

Okay but your music choices for vlogs is *chefs kiss* ❤

[@megs_bookrack]

You have no idea how happy hearing your final thoughts on Boys in the Valley made me!!! I have been so nervous all week! I am so glad you loved it. The atmosphere was everything-- how remote, cold and desperate it felt. Absolutely adore that one. It got sort of Battle Royale in that one balls to the wall crazy church scene 😂

[@Kim_Music_books_racing_fan]

Thanks Gav, I work in an extremely small willy, as shown in my reading sprints comment around the 12:45 mark. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@GavinReadsItAll]

@@Kim_Music_books_racing_fan small willies are beautiful too ❤️

[@judithcakelover]

I also love browsing through the library.

[@spiteandbooks]

SKELETON MAN! That was one of the books that got me into reading as a kid!!! I've never seen anyone else mention it, so i love that you enjoyed it. Also, Im gonna need to read Everytime I Go On Vacation Someone Dies, its sounds hilarious! Cant wait for your next videos and to learn more about the Drama lol

[@crlj000]

Thought it'd be days 5-6, happy there's another day included, loved summerween and it's first time I've watched something like this challenge (?) thanks gav

[@Nina_chitchat]

absolutely loved the last Vlog for Summerween!! i managed all 5 books for Summerween. you should try Wild Spaces by S.L. Coney - its a weird horror - kinda lovecraftian but also isn't. Anyway, love that you can mix your libraries. and CANNOT wait for the next NeighbourDrama. Also that they leave 2 dogs alone all this time is baffling me. how is that even legal.

[@ph_read_be]

I was about to suggest reserving before editing Gavin came on - thought I'd still comment for the engagement 🤩 totally get wanting to browse rather than faff around with reserving and not knowing how soon you'd even get a book after reserving it.

[@littlechicks3520]

I love Catherine Cookson . Favourites are the 'Tilly Trotter' trilogy and 'The Gambling Man. Cant decide if they will be your thing or not but im glad you are giving them a go! Your local library looks great by the way.

[@anikamercier2651]

These vlogs were so much fun!!

“I was used to having a pretty massive one” lmao 😂

Gavi I came for the books but (and I hope you don't mind me saying) I'm staying for the love between you and your gorgeous kitties! :D

[@xamandalaurenx]

Chapters longer than 10 pages I just can’t 😂 it just feels like it’s dragging so I can’t imagine 100!!

Lmao you bullying Tobu 😂 I also love to lovingly insult my pets for their dumbass shenanigans

[@angelekay3843]

My summerween was so-so, I think I'll get to the final prompt by midnight or at least start that book, but I didn't read as much as I'd hoped. It's my first year doing it though so still a win!! ❤

[@avsambart]

This new library of yours is probably gunna change very quickly now that you've moved there. They'll see your check outs and requests, and think "ooft we better step up" 😂

[@GavinReadsItAll]

@@avsambart hehe I’m there to crack the whip

[@Merdragoon]

Just a suggestion for checking dates if you don't find it in the book itself: See if your local libarary has a website which you can sign in with your library card. Since it's connected to the centeral one, I'm wondering if it's like boward's Libaraies where they're all interconnected and you can reserve books from one and have it come to another. The website also helps with browsing through books as well as just ideas what may be there and whatnot (and tell you what genres they could be under other than the main) I see more of a resorce than a one and done deal. (I still roam the libarary even when I'm going there mostly to pick one one book that I have on hold. It's how I found out that my Pompano one has the Crane Husband which I have on my TBR.) Btw, The Crane Husband is an really short horror Novella so if you're still looking for a short horror just to get a vibe even after summerween there's that.

[@ChloeSPBs]

So insanely strange seeing you in my actual local library 😶😶😶 i always reserve all the new releases from Blaydon oop

[@GavinReadsItAll]

So that’s why I couldn’t really find very many new releases, you got em all 😂
