This is a great concept! It would be cool to do a mix of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages (especially depending on season and since he drinks a ton of different beverages in vlogs) so that people could pick and choose pairings to mimic.

38:46 - I need everyone to pay special attention to this part🥺💕My heart just can't take it. There's just nothing better in the world than cozy cats 🥺
For your bookshelf problem: the Billy book cases can be extended by another shelf on top, you seem to have high ceilings so that might be an option if you run into space problems again.
the princess diaries singing in the beginning + a new video from Gavin = giving me absolute life after a rough week and it makes me so happy 🥲🥲

I was one of(?) the people who said the Midnight Library really helped them through the grieving process: I definitely agree with your thoughts on the characters and spoon-feedy feelings it sometimes delivers, as it isn't the best book I've ever read or a literary masterpiece, but as a story it's definitely an important one and I'm glad you enjoyed it. When you're in the midst of a major upset in your life/a tremendous amount of grief, it often feels easier to swim down than keep fighting upward. Following a character who is exploring the alternate routes of her life and *spoiler* finding that things only improve through your own definition of happiness/that life has endless potential, really helped at some of the darkest times. Anyways, I love your reviews and I appreciate you doing what you do. It brings a lot of people joy. 💛
Watching you read Bunny is my favorite content of the year. What an absolutely WILD book!
So happy you liked Circe! Madeline Miller is just really good at being respectful and showing her love for Greek culture on every page 💙
I absolutely *hated* the Midnight Library with a passion. I don't think I've ever been so disappointed by a book before 🤕 On the other hand, I thought I'd hate Bunny (I didn't even bother to buy a copy), but I freaking *loved* it! Book taste is weird lol Thanks for the extra long video ♡

Absolutely agree on the Midnight Library. It had a great premise, but the book itself read like something written by a 13 year old who's had one course of psychology and tried to write something "deep", but of course it ends up being the most shallow, predictable, pretentious, and preachy story imaginable. However, the poor writing in Midnight Library should give hope to all amateur writers out there.
Okay but I read Bunny like a month and a half ago and how you were trying to describe your thoughts has LITERALLY been me 😂 what a wild, wild book. But amazing.
I loved the midnight library but I feel like you’ve got to be in a certain mood for it. When I read it I was really struggling with regrets and I went into the book blind. Lo and behold the book is completely about regrets lol so it was perfect for me then
Haha this series kind of cracks me up. I kind of hope someday you find one of their books you hate just for the chaos 😂

Oh the boys have gotten so big! I love how much they love each other.
Your Shelf Setup is just too cool! I love how it’s organised.

I’m so happy you enjoyed Bunny! It’s my favourite book of all time, I’ve read it three times and at this point it’s like a tradition for me to read it around easter time. I love Mona Awad so much but Bunny is my favourite from here by far. My favourite character is probably Jonah, I didn’t really paid attention to him the first time but now he’s like my fave now. I like your theory about Bunnies being one person because it kind of makes sense, they aren’t really distinguishable from one another compared to Jonah, Ava or even Ursula. One of the things I love about this story is that there’s so many theories and possible explainations that you can really have so many iterpretations of it. For me, I really loved how Mona portrayed loneliness and outsiderness, and the dynamics between outsiders and „cool kids” were immaculate. Also she has the best writing style ever so. Okay I’ll shut up now. I love this book

So glad this is someone elses favourite book i am also reading it regular for tradition!! Currently trying to get the US hardback i feel like the cover fits the vibes and characters better than the UK version i have. Ive personally not looked up any theories or anything i dont want to read the book next time and only see that opinion i love everytime i read it I come up with a new theory of my own. For me its between Ava and Jonah as favs.
Omg I'm so excited to know you'll be doing a reading all 51 original Fear Street books vlog next year! Your book shelves look amazing, very cosy and comfy space 🥰! I much prefer a slow-burn over an instaromance too. Loving seeing Ash and Tobu! I loved The Midnight Library (but multiverse things and also time travel and stuff like that, I love that haha). I have Circe on my general TBR. I do know some things about Greek mythology so I look forward to see how I'll get on with it when I read it!
Omg Gav love the bookshelves and how they look -- plus the ivy and fairy lights are AMAZING
Great vlog. Happy your friends have not steered you wrong in this series so far. Circe is the only one of these that I have read myself. I am so glad you liked it so much. I loved it. I have not read Song of Achilles yet. Ash and Nobu are extremely cute and they are growing fast.
Yaaayyy for Only Murders! 🥳🥳🥳 Hey, I was in those reading sprints! 😊💖✨ Everything looks so nice! Omygosh! I can’t wait to see you read all the Fear Street books! Your rooms looks so nice! 😍😍😍 I actually am from a town called Warren. And we have the Warren Public Library there. 🥰🥰🥰 This was fun! I need to catch up with the other episodes! Watching your sleeper train video now. Love you! 🥰🥰🥰 Happy Reading! 🤓📚✨
I always love the stakes of this series!
random rec: But you should definitely check out A Man and his Cat, which is a SUPREMELY wholesome manga about a man buying a cat later in his life and their life together. (as the title implies T_T) But it's incredibly wholesome and lovely. And every chapter made me feel warm and comforted but it was also funny.
You look great Gav, loving the new haircut! Also, love your lounge room, looks amazing!
I’ll be reading Bunny too! I’m excited to read it! It’s been on my TBR for awhile. Heard great things about it.
Loved It Happened One Summer, The midnight library was…fine & I’m so excited to read Bunny and Circe. Planning on reading those in September/October. :) loved this vlog & so happy you enjoyed your reading!
I wanted the ‘Gossip Girl’ books as a child and I couldn’t get it. Happy to see you getting the collection. And yes, we want you to get the ‘Psycho Killer’ book.
I love your shelves😍 with the lights and the leaves❤️ also really want to read all the books you read in this vlog. Also really curious about your cosy mystery story.👀
I love when you mention which shows you’re watching because i like the same ones
So happy to see the cool library near you again! All books neatly stacked and lovely covers. Noice.
OMG, I cannot wait for your Fear Street video 😍 Pretty much all I read as a preteen were Fear Street and Point Horror books!
oh my god??? Warren U... I was today years old when I realized warrens are interconnecting rabbit burrows. GENIUS.
After you noted the hotness of the description of his fingers I knew I had to read It Happened One Summer and oh boy. A very fun time!!
Each one's a jewel, with a singular shine, a work of art with its own rare design I see you're a man of great culture 🥳
The Midnight Library is one I was intrigued by but by title now that I have a more comprehensive understanding of it I'll likely pick it up. Also, your cats are too adorable! 🤩
Looking good! Nice clean cut
Lol thr price is right “come on down” montage! 🤣🤣 and yeah all of these books are on my TBR list
Your kitties have grown so much! Enjoyed hanging out with you and hearing your thoughts. I was not a fan of Midnight Library or Circe. Love your bedroom library organisation and all the plans you have. But where is your wardrobe?!
congrats on 40k 💖💖
So excited for your fear street vlog next year gavin. Do you think you'd ever read the point horror books?
Saaame with the epilogues!! I usually really hate them in romance books especially! But I still always read them because I can't leave them unfinished 😅
Love how your library / bedroom looks with the new shelf, however I can’t help but wonder where your clothes are stored?
Literally 10 seconds in and I’m in love with Gavin over that ‘Crowning Glory’ reference. That hit right in the FEELZ.

Ooh I just saw Saga on your graphic novel shelf! Hello fellow Saga fan
The sequel of it happened one summer has an epilogue you’ll hate 🤣 fab video as always!
Loving the video Gavin just had to comment at the cute moment of the kitten next to your laptop covering their face with the 🐾. I recently read The Midnight Library I was unsure if I really enjoyed it pleased I have read it . I think you reviewed it really well in explaining it because I was confused on my feelings. I liked the book would recommend it to others .
Love the haircut 💙
It is quite interesting to hear your take with It Happened One Summer. Most other book tubers I've watched don't care for this book as a whole. Now I'm wanting to borrow it from my library to see if I'd like it or not.
Jealous of your charmed collection!! I watched that show obsessively growing up but I only have about half of the books.
Gavin: “Why there are so many bullies as well?” Me, an Intellectual: (confused laughter) “So…funny story…” (Not to say I wasn’t part of the problem)
"Honestly, this is so ridiculous" That's what makes it the most fun version of 'Reading [Channel Name]'s Favourite Books! I'm personally very happy to see it be uploaded earlier than it was planned :))

I came here after watching bowties and books video of you and damn...the rabbit hole I am currently in
I have it happened one summer on my shelf as I got it in the works for really cheap so I'm glad to know it is really good fun which is exactly what I wanted from it! I have the midnight library but opinions have me questioning... I'm currently reading how to stop time by matt haig though which is going well so far. I love Circe so much

Wow - how big your room is to be able to fit all those shelves and you still have space to move around!!! The kitties are getting so big 😺 Excited to read your book when completed. ❤ only murders in the building. Book suggestion - Boyfriend Material, I enjoyed it sooo much. Interested in what you think.
Hi Gavin, where did you get your Heartstopper blue jumper from? I love it.
Always love these videos! Based on what you liked about Circe, I would HIGHLY recommend The Witch's Heart by Genevieve Gornichec. Similarly, I think the author does a great job of making things easy to follow whether you have knowledge of Norse Mythology or not. I will say the plot is similar in terms of not be super heavy, but still a very intriguing story line. The character is also made very relatable and you really sympathize with her story. The story is quite different, of course, but a lot of similar vibes and it's really fantastic.

✨ Video Idea ✨ “Friendly Extremes” Read one of the best and one of the worst books from each friend. Then like a play on words, it helps you find your bookish best friend (jokingly ofc). As in bffs if you hate the same ones they hate, and love the same ones they love.
Kya~ I'm excited because I have read 3 of the 4. I read It Happened One Summer because of Chandler too. I liked it and feel the same as you about it. When I first read The Midnight Library I read it so fast and enjoyed it but the further I got from it the less I like it. I liked the idea of the library because it reminded me of a short story I read as a kid that was waaaaay less heavy handed (I wish I could remember the name of it, It involved a garden where you chose the future/flower you want but they all have a "price") I feel like I was manipulated and it leaves an icky feeling now. I can appreciate the writing skill behind that manipulation but meh. Circe is so beautifully written and I'm a freaking sucker for all mythology but I loved, nay *adore* Song of Achilles so much more. I better read Bunny now! Thank you Gavin for the video
love the video!! also bit random, but where did you watch pll:original sin, as i’m unsure of where (which platform) to watch it on, in the UK? ☺️
Not the price is right intro 😂😂😂
You made me look up where I heard "some girls are fair" and oh ofcourse it was the princess diaries 2 haha
We need a TV show review channel... Gossip Gavin. Pretty Little Gavin. Only Gavin in the Building. 😂😂😂
Im reading Bunny atm, one of your theories is what im also thinking 🤔 i want to reread Circe to see if i prefer it the second time
Gavin really said: “These are the Chosen Ones.”
Maybe the island can be a headboard?
I am so glad you didn't have to unfollow Lexi! Thanks for the vlog.
Your ceilings are pretty high, so if you ever need more space for books, i would lift up the bed and put bookshelves underneath. Just enabling you to get more books 😁

Omg please try the box card children series! Or the kingdom Keeper series!!!
I loved Circe. I have always felt a bit undereducated about Greek mythology, and reading about it in this format really brings it to life. If you want a fun way to learn more about it I would recommend the audiobook of Stephen Fry’s Mythos. He reads it in his inimitable style, and it’s like the gossip mag version of Greek mythology. Really good.
Never forget the Magnum Opus that was the Animorphs Video.
I can't believe how big the cats are getting! I had a feeling you'd like It Happened One Summer. I'd be curious to see what you think about the sequel though!
i read Bunny last year and it still one of the weirdest books and endings i've ever read. and i still don't know what to make of it really. 🤣 again a great episode.
Clearly I need to watch more of your videos.. how did I never realize before now that your bedroom and your library are the same room?!!
