1:21:27 I accidentally put this clip in the wrong place, I was supposed to put it before my Lying Game mid-book progress 😅 sorry for any confusion!
Getting a second chair so you don’t disturb your cat is so real. I’ve sat on my floor because my cat was on my bed and I didn’t want to disturb him.
I have a suggestion! I really liked the series where you have to read and enjoy TH-camrs favorite books or unsubscribe. I found so many great TH-camrs and recommendations in that series. I know you don’t like the unsubscribing bit, which is fair, so my suggestion is to make the penalty having to read their least favorite book of the year. Who knows, you might have opposite tastes and love it! Or we get to hear you rant about it a la Den of Vipers, which is a win either way for us. 😂
the absolute rollercoaster of this house hunting experience 😵💫😵💫 i’m glad things worked out in the end!! also, “are you my husband?” took me out HAHAHA
Gav is in his Bee Movie era
Gav! I’m a barista and a fun tip to prevent your steam wand from blocking up again is after you steam your milk get a damp cloth, wipe the wand and then turn the wand on so it steams again, this will purge out any little leftover milk in the wand and help it last longer between deep cleans!
Oooo thanks for the tip! 🙏
Was coming here to say the same thing 😂
I’m often at 10 hours a day, but that’s because I stream everything from my phone. Spotify, Yt, tv, etc.
A lot of shit just streaming in the background while I do chores 😅
Same 😂 I use by phone for background noise for everything
Same! 😂
Same, most of my screen time in youtube running in the background.
Same mines like 12hrs
I love Animal Farm! Read it several times. I feel the need to point out that this book has nothing to do with humans vs. animals. George Orwell wrote Animal Farm as an allegory about the rise of the Soviet Union and the dangers of communism.
⬆️ I came here to make this exact comment. I had to write a paper on Animal Farm in high school, and it’s even more interesting when you know what Orwell was trying to convey with the story. I was hoping Gavin would do a little more digging on the book and stumble upon this information. It was interesting to hear his perspective on it, though.
@@AngelaSchmidtcharismakitty I thought the same thing! I was hoping he would too because he would have gotten so much more out of his reading experience, IMO.
This is why I wish I studied this at university haha context always adds so much! I was just reading for fun though, not really deep diving or analysing texts in vlogs like this, just spewing my (apparently) very wrong thoughts on it 😅
@@GavinReadsItAll No wrong thoughts, just different ones. I found your perspective interesting, and it’s always interesting to hear a fresh, unbiased take on older novels.
I think it was interesting that not knowing what it was about originally, you could see the point of the book about corruption.
I already knew how things turned out with the original house (congratulations, btw), but I was still getting a little excited for you at the idea of moving closer to Becca. Granted, I'm a total stranger who doesn't know either of you, but part of me was disappointed that didn't work out. The new place does sound lovely. I hope you are able to vlog a lot of the moving process, though it would be understandable if you're too stressed for that when the time comes.
Yeah I can’t do this challenge without having to do some calculating because my screen time is crazy as I listen to like 10 hour sleep stories/ rain at night so my screen time is like an average of 15 hours a day as I listen to podcasts during the day as well haha
The entire time espresso was playing I was just trying to figure out how copyright works 😅😅
Haha there’s a site I use where I can buy a license for some popular songs, so the copyright is all good 👍🏼
Ash and his box
Ok so looks like I’ve found my new comfort TH-camr 😂. Already watched 4 of your videos back to back while working on orders. Honestly Gavin, your sense of humour is a bit of me 😂👍💖
I spent 28 hrs on Netflix binging Bridgerton last week......so uh I also don't want to punish myself 😅😅😅
The fact that you’ve probably spent money on pet beds and yet your cats prefer a cardboard book box? Priceless! I’m so happy you got the place you wanted. Can’t wait to see your garden. ❤
1:21:43 I don’t know why, but I am CRYING at you begging your cat to leave you alone 😂
I have The Husbands on my summer TBR! If a husband walked into your life right now, that would really help with the packing & moving! Let's hope he drives!
I was dancing through the espresso song montage😂💕
Me too, but how is that not a copy right strike?
@@Shelf_Improvementyes! I’ve thought this before when I hear a big name song in Gavin’s videos
@@Shelf_ImprovementIf you look in his video description, the song is officially licensed by him (I‘m pretty sure that means you pay to use it), so he is allowed to play it without a copy right strike. I‘ve noticed this in a lot of his videos, it really shows that he goes the extra mile to make his content amazing! :)
I love that you're making movie long videos, please never stop. They give me so much comfort after a long day ☺️☺️☺️
Am I tripping or do I hear that me espresso?!
"she wouldve heard a splash and thought it was my tears" 😂😂
Ohhhh the song Espresso at the beginning was so great 😍👏 I felt the same way about The Husbands! Also, ahhh I’m so happy for you that you got the house you wanted, even if the journey was so stressful, I’m glad everything worked out in the end! I can’t wait for your next chapter and to see the new place in your videos! 😍
47:18 Why did I never think to put a box on the couch to get my cats to sit next to me?! I have a clingy cat now and I carry him around in a hoodie with a pouch, but man the box is genius.
Oh I am sat😍🍿
Just what I needed on this gloomy Monday 🥹
🫶🏼🫶🏼
The emotional whip lash of this video!! And all with our coffee!
What a wild emotional ride with that house situation😅 I'm glad everything is working out. And also I had a good laugh about that 35 min screen time hahaha definitely a glitch
I could not do my actual phone screen time 😫 I had to limit it to just tik tok time hahah so massive props to you 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I don't normally comment but I wanted to say congratulations! I'm so glad that it all worked out for you! 🎉🎉
We had to read animal farm in school. It represents the Russian revolution of 1917 with Marx and Stalin
Yes! What a great way to start a FREEZING day here in Australia ❤️
Yeah I live in Rockhampton and it's cold here too this morning.
I’m currently huddled in front of the heater drinking coffee 😂
I love the espresso music 😊
So glad you liked animal farm in the end! Mostly I see people reading this one at uni and analysing it, so it is kind of nice to hear someone's opinion who has picked it up otherwise. It's definitely my favourite Orwell as I find it incredibly clever and it does the satire so very well. I had a good time with you should see me in a crown as well! Very cute and enjoyable and had some meaningful moments to it too. I love Poirot but I still need to read mysterious affair of styles and I should really get on that. Having so many videos SCHEDULED is absolutely amazing, your POWER! I could never haha.
The cats are so adorable, I can help but coo over them during every clip of them
So happy you got the house you’d set your house on! The house buying process is so stressful but hopefully it’ll be worth it for you🤞🤩
I can't wait to see your cats reactions to the new house
Oh I was not expecting to cry on a book vlog... I'm actually way too invested in your property hunting journey
1:03:07 🤣
Edit: Aaaaa you're making me want to reread Shipped. I don't remember much about it but I remember liking it
The use of Espresso!!!!!
Impressed you did it with everything else going on! It sounds like a fun challenge, but I can see that my screen time last week was basically the same amount of time as what you ended up with 💀
28:00 You had your Moonlight Oscar moment.
😂 🤣 😂
Espresso is such a bop as b roll music 🎶
so happy for you that you got your dream place!! audibly gasped when you said you got it ❤ God must really love you 🥰
Congrats on the new house Gav!! Let the moving vlog begin 🎉
CONGRATULATIONS!! I’m so happy for you!
❤ When it rains it pours!
Gavin, you are a mystery to me. I rarely read the same stuff you do, but I absolutely love watching your vlogs! Man, the volume in which I shouted YAY when you said you got the apartment in your last vlog - I really scared my cats with that and then I had a glass of prosecco to cheer with you :D I am SO happy for you and wish you all the best for moving month (and especially, moving day)!
not me coming here (for the first tim) bc of bella and you immediately mention her hahah
Happy Pride Month 🏳️🌈
You’re doing great and continue to stay as awesome and funny as you are. Sending the biggest hugs. Also, I’m have terrible headaches dealing with books and the screen.
Relating to the cat in the box moment ❤
i was inspired to check my screen time from last week and holy shit i was on my phone for 10 hours on friday 😵💫 to be fair some of that was playing phone games while listening to audiobooks so i would subtract that maybe but omg i could've finished 2.5 books in that time
this vlog was a journey and i was living for it!!!
also the green shirt outfit is my favorite on you
So SO happy for you getting the house you wanted!! As for the books you read- I absolutely LOVE KJ Charles so I hope you give her work another try sometime! She's definitely more on the romantic suspense with a side of sass type of writer so if you were looking for a more chill read I can see that not matching your mood. Also, The Nobleman's Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel is book 2 of a duology so I'm not sure if you read book 1 but she typically plots her series to have interlocking plots that need to be read in order even if the individual titles follow different couples. I highly recommend Band Sinister or The Henchmen of Zenda if you want to try one of her standalones. Society of Gentlemen is a fantastic series as is Sins of the Cities but they both absolutely need to be read in order.
Came here to find this comment! Also, I tried the audiobook of Secret Lives and Nobleman's Guide and I couldn't get into them and just couldn't gel with the narrator, but reading the physicals I ate up!
OMG I would love to see a sit down video like recommendations or something but with ALL of the waffling left in! 😁 It would be so fun to watch! Like a no-editing challenge haha
Just gonna sit back and relax, and enjoy the upload. 🙂❤📚
This is such a cool challenge!!! You slayed this!! 😂❤
I feel the same in terms of, unless I have the keys in my hands or a date to move in, I can’t really celebrate or be too excited
Loved this video, what a great idea!
I clicked so fast 😂
Congratulations on the house Gavin, good luck with the move!
This comes at the perfect time since I'm doing the same challenge this week!
I.D. is such a weird concept. Like, why is a piece of paper proof it's me? You should be able to send in your TH-cam link as proof of who you are 🤣 Congrats on the house though!
You're the best ❤ hope the moving will go well 😊
I’m still waiting for my flat (I’m definitely having it so that’s not my issue), it’s the fact that I haven’t had a date yet as to when I can move in and send the deposit and it’s been 3 months for me 😢😅 (but I am purchasing so I know it’ll take longer), but yay I’m so happy for you and I cannot wait to see the moving process!! ❤🎉
Congrats on getting the new place!
I was way too old to be as into the Lying Game books as I was. Can't wait for that blog. :)
I normally hate fairy lights on bookshelves cause I think they look so messy and distracting when they are off but I honestly always forget you have them because on your shelves they look subtle. I don't know if it is because the wiring is white or what but well done on being the only person to ever successfully pull off fairy lights on bookshelves 👏😂
Also I really feel for you on the moving front, I remember how I felt waiting to see if I got the house I wanted, the stress of the clock ticking and then the elation of finally getting something. Moving is a lot to process but I am extremely happy for you that you were approved for the property you were wanting 🥰
Congratulations on your new home, Gavin!
I love Animal Farm and its reflection of the Russian Revolution and Stalinist Russia. I first read it at school, but I've returned to it time and time again since. Such a classic!
Haha, this was so fun! You totally have to do this again! Just wait 6 months until you forget how much you’re on your phone per day. 😂
This was so fun!! I’m super impressed by how you did this. 9 books?! Also cannot wait to hear all your thoughts on the Lying Game!
Your screen time is like half of mine. I am *never* doing this 🤣💀🤣
Loved this vlog Gav! Another please lol 😆 x
Will you be making more Agatha Christie videos on this channel? I love watching those❤
"I'm never doing that again" I can already see that clip making an appearance at the beginning of the next time you'll end up doing it. May take a while but it will happen :P
YES GAVIN!!!! I'm so happy for you, that you got the place!!
Funnily enough I had the same experience with an apartment where i was second choice, mourned the place when i didn't get it and then eventually got it in the end. 😅 I currently live in this place and i live it so much! I was so unhappy at my last place and the property and landlord were also shite. So i can kinda feel how you're feeling, especially with the feeling that you feel like you can't really celebrate yet. But like I said, I'm very, very happy for you!!
Was finally able to watch this video and so interesting to watch your real-time reactions for your house hunt. I think the Universe wanted you to have the home you desired. You're not worried about your cats running off, if you allow them outside at your new place? Looking forward to your future vlogs to watch the progress. Have a great week, Gavin.
Omg……. I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN!!!! ❤
I read animal farm back in high school. Late 80's and early 90's. Might reread it this year.
I'll actually be moving this summer! I'm excited and scared 😅
Now Espresso is stuck in my head again!
First off I want to say how happy I am that you're able to move and that everything will be perfect for you and the cats 🥰🥰🥰
its the 35 mins vs the 4+ hours every day 🤣🤣🤣
this is so random but the clip of Aaron "national health care???" I LAUGHED SO HARD.
OH my god, when my milk steamer doesnt work (I have a fully automated delonghi) I always forget that I should check the heating thingie and clean that too.
also your mom is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
lol, 13 seconds on productivity and finance. Impressive 😂
I love this idea, but I would have to subtract the 10 hours of screen time because it's all TH-cam during my workdays and I need it on in the background to keep me focused. Don't worry there's still plenty of screen time other than that on those days.
Congratulations on the new home, cannot wait for the tour! Also, the best ASMR is a cat purring, truly miss that sound. Enjoy the rest of your week! 😊🩷🩷🩷
Orilium bookmark for the win😍
yes moving vlogs please!
Wanted to do this and did so good to keep my screen time in reasonable amounts until I got sick and now can't read because I feel too bad so I just watch way too many videos and movies on my phone 😂😂
Last week started with, 4h49min, 4h24min, 6h27min, 11h, 10h1min, 11h27min, 14h44min 😂 guess when I started getting sick :'D (on the friday where I did 10h, I still went to work from 10-14, because I thought I wasn't too unwell but yeah, couldn't complete my shift 😂
My screen time today has been absolutely unhinged. But I have foster kittens, so I'm constantly taking photos and videos, and then I have my phone in hand and it's so easy to get distracted by social media 😭 generally I'm 'okay' with my screen time (it's still too much, but not as much as today 😂).
gav would you make a coffee tutorial in your next slice of life vlog you've probably done it in the past but you make your cappuccinos sound delicious and I want to know how you do it 🥺💕
I’ll never forgot the last line of Animal Farm even after 15+ years and it was so depressing and I hated it!!
I looked at this book as what happened to my parents as they became involved in the Cuban Revolution. Both for and against Castro.
😮 I am also moving in our new house on the 28th of june ❤ wishing you well on the move 😊 after that we can both relax 😂 (I can't deal with the moving stress😅)
I do remember watching Animal Farm the movie back when I was super young. I loved talking animals at that age, but should NOT have watched it then lol
I keep hearing "The Mystery of Harry Styles" 🥴
You have to title an upcoming episode "Gavin moves it all"
I put the husbands on my tbr a few days ago, sounds interesting!
I am really curious on how youre gonna pack your books for moving.
I unfortunately move alot, so Ive packed and moved hundreds of books. I use smaller totes, easier to carry weight wise. Get about 15-25 books a box depending on the book size.
Also looked at my screen time and wooo, i need to get off my phone.
awwww I am going to have to pick up The Ghost Woods just because my name is Mabel and it's not a common name!!
Landlord: “You are my second choice again!”
Me:”🤬….but yes, I guess I’ll still take it🙄”
lol 🐝"are you my husband" more like "are you my Buzz-band"
Gavin is looking especially cute in this video.
Heyyy lovely vlog! I recently knew your channel because of bella from throneofpages and you are becoming one of my favorite male booktubers for sure. Also can any one tell me what his accent is? It is so smooth but could not figure it out
all of my screen time is reading xD I read way to many ebooks
maybe you do it again but with laptop screen time 😂
