Gabby, if I ever tried to read and walk on a treadmill there would be a mess with me flying off and injuring myself and other people 😂... that is talent! Love you- and your videos!
SO glad to hear you enjoyed Natural Beauty! (now I felt justified making you grabbed it in the bookstore)-Look like I need to go out and buy Nestlings (I love the style of Mary and this sounds even better).
Natural Beauty is one of my favorite horror books of the year so far, even just one of my faves of 2023 in general. So glad you loved it too! Nestlings sounds great too.
OMG, I just finished Nestlings and I also made the mistake of eating while reading! 😂 It was certainly a great read and I agree there was absolute chaos after the birthday party, I could not put it down!
I hardly ever buy new books -partly because they’re too expensive and partly for sustainability- but I bought Nestlings because of this vlog! I can’t wait to read it! My baby is almost 2, but I remember PPD and it’s no joke 🥺
I’ve been in a bit of a slump since January, but I’m reading Dave Grohl’s autobiography, which I’m LOVING, even though I’ve never ever heard a single ‘Foo Fighters’ song in my life. I’ve not even been watching my favourite BookTuber’s videos, but, I’ve started watching yours again, Gabby, and I’m feeling so much better, because you always bring a smile to everyone face and joy into so many peoples lives. Thank you for being so AMAZING! ❤️
1989 shook my LIFE. Not a huge TS fan, but that album came out as I was leaving high school and starting college 3000 miles away from home so it means so much to me, was a transformative time and that’s what I was listening to 💜
Mary was my top book of 2022, so no pressure for Nestlings. 😂 I hope I love it. I'm just glad all the TS tracks are together - when it's a double album, I rarely listen to the vault tracks. 🤫
Nestlings sounds really good. I'm hoping it's a book of the month pick so I can get it as my November selection! I still have YET to go see the Eras Tour in theaters. I really want to though. Awesome vlog, and that soup looked delish 🩷🤗
Too cold in CO….a foot of snow yesterday and 9 degrees this morning….brrrrr! Trying to slowly work my way out of my small reading slump…Style is my favorite Swift song😊
I definitely agree with this “need” to do a full sweat-soaked routine when you go to the gym. It’s so hard sometimes to go and do something that is a little less active. 15:07
Growing up in NY presented me with cultural opportunities unimaginable here and likely most everywhere else. Besides grand movie theaters and myriad museums there are libraries and churches galore! One year I spent pretty much every day at the main library on fifth Ave between 40th and 42d or the mid-Manhattan branch about two blocks southeast. Behind it is Bryant park, where hustles play chess for money and long lines snake from the discount ticket booths. Even the subway station is special, with one of those oval tunnels that allow you to hear whispers from its far side. Well, I hope you enjoy it once you get there, tho I don't expect to visit again anytime soon - thx!
Books with heavy youth themes always give me vampire vibes. Maybe 5+ years ago there was an in depth series on here about pop/cult culture over the decades. In the one about vampires throughout the decades focused on eternal youth in the late 90s/early 2000s. So you definitely read 2 vamp-adjacent books this vlog!
Gabby, you’re not gonna believe this I got on my Library website and it said that it wouldn’t have not been released yet so I got out and went on it again to hear the sample and it said it was available so I’m just now starting to read it!
Omg lol ive never been a swifty fan but I LOVE say dont go! slut is great.. couple older ones I discovered today and loved is dont blame me and haunted, ahhh! Now I need to go down the rabbit hole and see what else there is 😂🥰
OK, so I’m really embarrassed…. As soon as you started talking about “Nestlings” I checked on Libby to see if it was available but it wasn’t. Then I went back into the app to see if I could listen to a sample and I thought it was available and checked it out immediately. After listening to the first two chapters I was confused, it didn’t sound anything like what you were describing…. I went back to the library app again and realized I had checked out “Mary” instead…. ❤❤Judy❤❤
I was shocked to learn that you're able to get books before the official release date at Barnes and Noble! That's obviously great, but when I worked at a bookstore, my boss would insist on everyone checking the release date before putting any new books on the shelves because the store has to pay a really high fine if you sell books even one day early 😮
these books sound so good!! also I 100% relate to the Taylor Swift induced reading slump haha the 1989 vault tracks are amazing!
Gabby, if I ever tried to read and walk on a treadmill there would be a mess with me flying off and injuring myself and other people 😂... that is talent! Love you- and your videos!
28:02 is an accurate representation of me in the car with my screamy music 💀
Gabby is making my TBR so huge - just added "Nestlings"! (I already love Nat Cassidy's writing from his previous novel)
I know she has influenced a lot of my TBR as well lol
SO glad to hear you enjoyed Natural Beauty! (now I felt justified making you grabbed it in the bookstore)-Look like I need to go out and buy Nestlings (I love the style of Mary and this sounds even better).
Yesss ahhh thanks for encouraging me to get it! 👏 and I hope you love Nestlings!!!
My favorite from the vaults are Say Don't Go and Now That We Don't Talk.
Natural Beauty is one of my favorite horror books of the year so far, even just one of my faves of 2023 in general. So glad you loved it too! Nestlings sounds great too.
from nyc here, hi! the housing lottery is a real thing! anyway, I was just on the hunt for new horror books so I'll def be checking these two out

Hi Gabby,
I am currently reading Nestlings. I'm enjoying it a lot. Haven't read Mary.
I think my favorite vault song is "Is it over now?" You were just living your best life in this vlog it seemed.
You and your sister are so cute! I loved all the happy vibes. I'll definitely be checking out Nestlings!
Natural Beauty is for sure one my my faves of the year!! So fantastic. I could’ve talked about it for forever in my vlog😂
Happy halloween 🎃 Gabby and to this beautiful community. Lots of love 💙💙💙

I plan to read both of these and just pre-ordered Nestlings earlier this week. I’m excited to read both!
Mary was my top book of 2022, so no pressure for Nestlings. 😂 I hope I love it. I'm just glad all the TS tracks are together - when it's a double album, I rarely listen to the vault tracks. 🤫
Same! I want the salems lot vibe! It is one of my stephen king faves
oooh I'm so glad you loved Nestlings I'm reading it in Nov!
and the NYC affordable housing lottery is a thing!
As a Floridian 43 degrees sounds very cold to me 😅 My favorite 1989 vault tracks are Now That We Don't Talk and Suburban Legends.
Hola Gabby 😊 natural beauty suena muy interesante asi que decidi leerlo gracias por la recomendación!♡

Adding both of these to my TBR immediately

Definitely getting Natural Beauty now! It sounds great
I just finished Mary and really liked it up until the ending where it just was ruined for me so I’m a bit nervous for Nestlings
I can't wait for The Nestlings!!!
I finished Natural Beauty by long Ling Huang a week ago and it is now a new found fave! 😄
Gabby what area of WA do you live in? Have you ever been to Powells in Portland OR? It’s magical
Literally ran to B&N and got a copy of the Nestlings. Also Gabby RUN and get a copy of the special edition FANGIRL if you haven't yet!
My part of Washington it was 15°f when i took the kids to school. And high of 45.
It’s like that here on Bent Mountain in Virginia It will be like 70 then night in the 20s it’s gonna be really cold up here this week.
Omg lol ive never been a swifty fan but I LOVE say dont go! slut is great.. couple older ones I discovered today and loved is dont blame me and haunted, ahhh! Now I need to go down the rabbit hole and see what else there is 😂🥰
Hey Gabby. If you are looking for ''Salem's Lot' vibes, I've heard 'Dark Corner' by Brandon Massey is great.
Okay I need nestlings…
Millie Bobby brown 19 steps on!! Worth the read! !!
Great vlog.🎃📚🍂☕🥧🦃🍁👻☠️

FYI five nights is on peacock :)

Some books have strict release dates…others do not…
@@lindahuson8451 Oh that makes sense! Maybe it's also different depending on the country, idk
Also possible the bookstore has paid certain publishers for early release rights? 🤷🏻♀️
