I just loved how you started the video singing "we don't talk about Bruno" 😁😁 I love Encanto, and I just have to say it: you look like a twin of Lin Manuel Miranda 🤯
This makes me feel much less intimidated by my owned TBR. Don't feel ashamed! Its part of your job! Also, Under the Whispering Door would be the one I'd suggest prioritising. Its one of those that you think its fine or you love it. I was in the love it crowd
The way this video just made me max out my library loans. 😂 So many books, so little time!! I've been really into graphic novels lately; My Brother's Husband really stood out to me for some reason, though I know nothing about it. I'm excited!
Thanks! Now I'm feeling not so bad for hoarding my books. I spun the random number generator five times for you (May it help or not. Who knows? 🤷♀). These are the books it presented: 105 - Anya and the Dragon 280 - The Titanic Detective Agency 359 - Ottilie Colter and the Narroway Hunt 517 - Girl in the Walls 647 - The Raven Boys (Technically some book in the middle of this series, but one has to start at the beginnig, not? 🤣) It was very generous because it didn't touched the big series in the middle of the video. Happy collecting (Because: It's not hoarding if it's books! 😆) and have fun reading some of those gems!
I read Six crimson cranes in two days, it was super unique and I was stuck in the world the author created. While I was nearing the end I kept thinking/hoping/wanting a sequel....that's when I know its a 5 star book for me ;) Love your videos!
Oh! I love love love Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library... anyone who loves to read will find it so fun with allusions to all kinds of books you are familiar with. Additionally- Cornielia Funke is so good and one of my favorite middle grade authors- Dragon Rider is fantastic. My bookshelves are very similar- you are not alone!
Honestly, all of the Encanto songs need to leave my head but they never will because I just keep replaying them over and over again! Why must they bes so good?! Also, almost my entire bookshelf is unread but I'm trying to get better at reading them!
WOW, that is a pretty hefty TBR.. You mentioned it took 2 hrs, but that was very impressive. Thank you for sharing. Loved the singing & dancing at the begining :)
Wow this must’ve taken so much time/editing, you’re incredible! 🙌🏼. I’d love to see you read Legally Blonde/The Devil Wears Prada/Jaws/Jurassic Park/The Shining/Pride & Prejudice etc; and compare them to the movies! Sort of like what you’ve done with the Disney classics 😊
The last two songs of magic books are both incredible. Especially A Vanishing of Griffins. A mouse called miika and Oliver Twist are also some of my favorites. The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse
Lost in A Book, Unbirthday (and the rest of the series), the invisible life of Addie LaRue, Doctor Sleep, Salem’s Lot, Hitchiker’s guide to the galaxy series, Dark Matter, Bird Box is on my TBR list too!!!
I was feeling so good about my shelves and then remembered my cart. Its amazing how many books you can get on a cart. 😭 Good luck reading, you have many of my all-time favorites in there.
Thanks for getting Encanto songs stuck in my head again. Though if I am being honest they've been stuck since I watched the movie not only once but five days in a row. What a great collection you have.
We don’t talk about Bruno has been stuck in my head for days and I put this on right before bed when it had finally left my head and then it immediately makes a comeback 👿😂
Read the Griffin Gate series and Harley Hitch! Also, Peculiar Incident on Shady Street, Greenglass House novels, finish the Roar series,and the Train to Impossible places series. ❤️
I have been on a huge graphic novel kick this past year, and When Stars Are Scattered, the Okay Witch, The Promise, Tea Dragon Tapestry, and Stargazing are AMAZING. Hooky and The Magic Fish are on my tbr as well, so I'm looking forward to see you read those!
OMG Gav!! soooo many not read 👀👀 hope you get some read this year and make it a goal for 2023 - at least 1 less of this number on the physical TBR 🖤😎 I feel a How to Train your Dragon vlog week coming!!
Honestly nothing shocked me more then seeing Six of Crows on this list. Also I read and completely loved Six Crimson Crane and I have heard such good things about Iron Widow so thats right up there on my list.
Ok, top picks: Pride and Prejudice, And Then There Were None, Animal Farm, El Deafo, Recursion, Dark Matter, Felix Ever After, Dani Brown, Eve Brown... and continuing with Grishaverse to get to Six of Crows :- D
Ooooooooo one of my favorite middle grades is the Podkin series and I haven’t really seen people talk about it….you should pick that one up! It’s the hobbit but with rabbits
So m many good books I would definitely prioritise Punching the Air, The Boy the Fox the Mole and the Horse, all of the Percy Jackson’s definitely it’s one of my fave MG series, I’m reading Addie LaRue currently I’d definitely recommend, yes I love Throne of Glass series, These Violent Delights duology, Kingdom of the Wicked, The Prison Healer, Malice, Defy the Night, The Crown of Gilded Bones, Grishaverse, Felix Ever After, Take a Hint Dani Brown & Act Your Age Eve Brown, Alice Oseman Novellas are amazing, The Raven Cycle
Six Crimson Cranes was wonderful. I really enjoyed it and I cannot wait to read more from Elizabeth Lim. And I love the Brown Sisters trilogy so hopefully you read and enjoy them all
Beauty and the Beast Lost in a Book by Jennifer Donnelly was super fun, also her Waterfire saga series used to be my favorite series ever! And House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig was really good as well
Okay... How did you stay in the exact same place in front of the camera in between cuts of you picking up each new book? Did you take all of them out and put them in a pile in front of you, so you wouldn't have to move? MAGIC.
I would love to see you opinions on Podkin One Ear (one of my favorites or 2021 that I read because of one of your videos), Cemetery Boys, and Iron Widow.
😳Oooh please move that whole tales of middle earth trilogy whatever you call it up the priority list! I really want to hear someone I trust's thoughts on it since most people that read it are like die hard adult fantasy only readers. I guess you might need to read the silmarillion first - that's the one I'm on now.
The Raven Boys series, again I think you would love it. Don’t be ashamed of being a book Collector as well as a book Reader. I am in exactly the same position and I really am not fussed. Books are our thing whether some will just be looked at and eventually read or read as soon as they come in. One book I would like to see you read as well, only because I have got it and that is Cloud Cuckoo Land. I am bricking myself about reading it
You really need to prioritise Dune as well as the Goosebumps series, Mr Mercedes, The Shining and Needful Things Gav. Good luck with your unread books.🤓
Books I think were good and you should read asap: 🙂 - Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - Second dad summer - Gregor the overlander series - The inkworld trilogy (but I've already said that 600 times haha) - Twitch - The Christmas Carrolls - Stephen King (also said that 600 times haha) - Circe - RF Kuang - Deeplight - Grown - Felix ever after - Piranesi - Dark matter - The silence of the lambs - NK Jemisin - Loveless - Maggie Stiefvater Some of these and other books I was like: you still haven't read those? How? 😂 Best of luck reading all of these 😬
So many good choices! I’m reading The Mercies soon to fulfill a prompt for a sapphic readathon, so I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts on it in the near-it’s future!
Wow, that's a lot! I have read, and highly recommend, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Anne of Green Gables, Take Back the Block, When Stars Are Scattered, Stargazing, Harbor Me, The Secret of Nightingale Wood, Second Dad Summer, The Only Black Girls in Town, El Deafo, The One and Only Ivan, the 2 Ashley Herring Blake books, Wish, and The Dead Zone. I would love to know what you think of the Bradbury book, the Grimm stories, Dracula, Carmilla, the Hocus Pocus book, Gregor, the Pratchett books, the Stroud books, and Recursion -- they are also on my TBR. Jekyll and Heidi is a great name for a book! The commenter down below is correct -- you are a Miranda doppelganger!
I just loved how you started the video singing "we don't talk about Bruno" 😁😁 I love Encanto, and I just have to say it: you look like a twin of Lin Manuel Miranda 🤯
Ok I’m not the only one who thinks he’s his twin!
This makes me feel much less intimidated by my owned TBR. Don't feel ashamed! Its part of your job! Also, Under the Whispering Door would be the one I'd suggest prioritising. Its one of those that you think its fine or you love it. I was in the love it crowd
You seriously have more books on your TBR than our entire local public library has in total. OMG.
The way this video just made me max out my library loans. 😂 So many books, so little time!! I've been really into graphic novels lately; My Brother's Husband really stood out to me for some reason, though I know nothing about it. I'm excited!
The editions you have of those classic books are stunning. Just beautiful.
Thanks! Now I'm feeling not so bad for hoarding my books.
I spun the random number generator five times for you (May it help or not. Who knows? 🤷♀). These are the books it presented:
105 - Anya and the Dragon
280 - The Titanic Detective Agency
359 - Ottilie Colter and the Narroway Hunt
517 - Girl in the Walls
647 - The Raven Boys (Technically some book in the middle of this series, but one has to start at the beginnig, not? 🤣)
It was very generous because it didn't touched the big series in the middle of the video.
Happy collecting (Because: It's not hoarding if it's books! 😆) and have fun reading some of those gems!
The Thursday murder club is really fun. They are not groundbreaking mysteries but are so sweet and so much fun
I read Six crimson cranes in two days, it was super unique and I was stuck in the world the author created. While I was nearing the end I kept thinking/hoping/wanting a sequel....that's when I know its a 5 star book for me ;) Love your videos!
I believe the sequel is coming in August or September
I can't wait for you to read The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse; Flowers in the attic and Inkheart!
Thank you so much for doing this. I thought I was the only one with over 600 books on my TBR list. I honestly feel so much better.
Alright, Gavin. Make me feel better about *my* unread collection. 💜 We're all in this struggle together.
Definitely recommend Percy Jackson! 😍
Oh! I love love love Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library... anyone who loves to read will find it so fun with allusions to all kinds of books you are familiar with. Additionally- Cornielia Funke is so good and one of my favorite middle grade authors- Dragon Rider is fantastic. My bookshelves are very similar- you are not alone!
Honestly, all of the Encanto songs need to leave my head but they never will because I just keep replaying them over and over again! Why must they bes so good?! Also, almost my entire bookshelf is unread but I'm trying to get better at reading them!
I literally see you everywhere
@@twistytrombone2453 😂😂😂😂
WOW, that is a pretty hefty TBR.. You mentioned it took 2 hrs, but that was very impressive. Thank you for sharing. Loved the singing & dancing at the begining :)
the invincible life of addie larue is so beautiful!
Song for a Whale! It’s really good!
Wow this must’ve taken so much time/editing, you’re incredible! 🙌🏼. I’d love to see you read Legally Blonde/The Devil Wears Prada/Jaws/Jurassic Park/The Shining/Pride & Prejudice etc; and compare them to the movies! Sort of like what you’ve done with the Disney classics 😊
I am loving the aesthetic covers of your classics!
The last two songs of magic books are both incredible. Especially A Vanishing of Griffins. A mouse called miika and Oliver Twist are also some of my favorites. The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse
And I thought my tbr of just 26 books gave me anxiety 😂
I sorted by bookshelves today too!!! honestly special editions of classics are the most beautiful things in this world
Lost in A Book, Unbirthday (and the rest of the series), the invisible life of Addie LaRue, Doctor Sleep, Salem’s Lot, Hitchiker’s guide to the galaxy series, Dark Matter, Bird Box is on my TBR list too!!!
I was feeling so good about my shelves and then remembered my cart. Its amazing how many books you can get on a cart. 😭 Good luck reading, you have many of my all-time favorites in there.
Thanks for getting Encanto songs stuck in my head again. Though if I am being honest they've been stuck since I watched the movie not only once but five days in a row. What a great collection you have.
The fact that you did this in 24 *edited* minutes is IMPRESSIVE! 🖤 also your library is goaaaals 😍
I can't get over how beautiful these covers are!!
We don’t talk about Bruno has been stuck in my head for days and I put this on right before bed when it had finally left my head and then it immediately makes a comeback 👿😂
A Monster Calls is definitely a must read. That book made me cry! I think you'll love it.
i finally had that song out of my head and NOW ITS BACK!!! good thing its a bop lmao
You should do a long video with all the graphic novels and then the mangas. They’re usually quick reads. :)
Recursion if you want something to mess with your mind. Very well done.
I suggest bouncing between graphic novels and manga too; always quick reads.
Read the Griffin Gate series and Harley Hitch! Also, Peculiar Incident on Shady Street, Greenglass House novels, finish the Roar series,and the Train to Impossible places series. ❤️
As someone whose physical TBR contains 200+ books, it comforts me to know there's at least one person out there with more X D
I have 1,206 and would love to do a video like this but it would probably take me forever hahaha 🤣😂
@@merfaewit #goals
Well this makes me feel a lot better about my 120+ unread owned books 😂😂😂😂😂
I have been on a huge graphic novel kick this past year, and When Stars Are Scattered, the Okay Witch, The Promise, Tea Dragon Tapestry, and Stargazing are AMAZING. Hooky and The Magic Fish are on my tbr as well, so I'm looking forward to see you read those!
Punching the Air was SO GOOD and really well done
Felix ever After is such a good book, it made me cry which doesn‘t happen very often
OMG Gav!! soooo many not read 👀👀 hope you get some read this year and make it a goal for 2023 - at least 1 less of this number on the physical TBR
🖤😎
I feel a How to Train your Dragon vlog week coming!!
That song will never leave my head!!!
p.s loving the library
Ooh I do love Strange Case of the Alchemist Daughte and Piranesi! I enjoyed the Edge Chronicles growing up
It's cool that you have Alex Pheby's book, he was my English and Creative Writing lecturer at Sunderland uni 10 years ago!
I adore your classics collection. The editions are all so beautiful! ✨
I’ve read all the Disney Twisted Tales and loved them. If you love a Disney mash up then get these read soon! Xx
Check, Please! was adorable, and the audio for Under the Whispering Door was pretty good. UtWD did make me cry a few times, so beware.
just here to share some love and am thinking of you. sending you well wishes to your family and hope your dad recovers quickly
So many good middle grades you need to get to yet!!! :)
Honestly nothing shocked me more then seeing Six of Crows on this list. Also I read and completely loved Six Crimson Crane and I have heard such good things about Iron Widow so thats right up there on my list.
Ok, top picks: Pride and Prejudice, And Then There Were None, Animal Farm, El Deafo, Recursion, Dark Matter, Felix Ever After, Dani Brown, Eve Brown... and continuing with Grishaverse to get to Six of Crows :- D
Oh I love The Lighthouse Witches! Please read that one
Ooooooooo one of my favorite middle grades is the Podkin series and I haven’t really seen people talk about it….you should pick that one up! It’s the hobbit but with rabbits
Charmed Life was one of my FAVORITE books growing up. I also adored the Gregor books by Suzanne Collins
So m many good books I would definitely prioritise Punching the Air, The Boy the Fox the Mole and the Horse, all of the Percy Jackson’s definitely it’s one of my fave MG series, I’m reading Addie LaRue currently I’d definitely recommend, yes I love Throne of Glass series, These Violent Delights duology, Kingdom of the Wicked, The Prison Healer, Malice, Defy the Night, The Crown of Gilded Bones, Grishaverse, Felix Ever After, Take a Hint Dani Brown & Act Your Age Eve Brown, Alice Oseman Novellas are amazing, The Raven Cycle
The Whistling, I just got that and need a buddy read, along with Middle Game
WE DONT TALK ABOUT BRUNOOOOO, Lin Manual Miranda is a icon!
Six Crimson Cranes was wonderful. I really enjoyed it and I cannot wait to read more from Elizabeth Lim. And I love the Brown Sisters trilogy so hopefully you read and enjoy them all
I loooved nevernight!! this list is full of books i really want to get to haha
U just became one of my fave booktuber hahaha with your amazing personality
I love these video’s and at least it gives you a list to go from for a “read the viewers pick” as a not tbr pick x
Love that we get to see your whole collection! :)
The Raven and the Reindeer by T.Kingfisher is really good and perfect for Polarthon.
You definitely need to put Concrete Rose on your next TBR. It’s my second best of Angie Thomas’ books after The Hate You Give
I love your Tom Holland hoodie! Where is it from?
Iron Widow! I flew through it in a day, it’s fantastic
I highly rec: Once Upon an Eid; Inkheart; Percy Jackson!!! Also, Cemetery Boys & Felix Ever After
You should do a romcom comparison video .
Also you should read the deadly education books my favourite of 2021 plus your editions are beautiful
oh get in with Dark Tower, just remember things only start to get good on book 2, and keyhole book is inbetween 4 and 5
Beauty and the Beast Lost in a Book by Jennifer Donnelly was super fun, also her Waterfire saga series used to be my favorite series ever! And House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig was really good as well
Okay... How did you stay in the exact same place in front of the camera in between cuts of you picking up each new book? Did you take all of them out and put them in a pile in front of you, so you wouldn't have to move? MAGIC.
Gavin please I was JUST getting We Don't Talk About Bruno out of my head 😔
Cemetery Boys is incredible
I would love to see you opinions on Podkin One Ear (one of my favorites or 2021 that I read because of one of your videos), Cemetery Boys, and Iron Widow.
Maya and the Rising Dark, Cemetery Boys, and The Gilded Ones are all incredible books! 😍
😳Oooh please move that whole tales of middle earth trilogy whatever you call it up the priority list! I really want to hear someone I trust's thoughts on it since most people that read it are like die hard adult fantasy only readers. I guess you might need to read the silmarillion first - that's the one I'm on now.
Tender is the flesh is quite literally the best most original book I’ve ever read I highly highly recommend
New subscriber here! I really hope you've gotten round to reading Meddling Kids, I read it last year and loved it!
The Raven Boys series, again I think you would love it.
Don’t be ashamed of being a book Collector as well as a book Reader. I am in exactly the same position and I really am not fussed. Books are our thing whether some will just be looked at and eventually read or read as soon as they come in.
One book I would like to see you read as well, only because I have got it and that is Cloud Cuckoo Land. I am bricking myself about reading it
You really need to prioritise Dune as well as the Goosebumps series, Mr Mercedes, The Shining and Needful Things Gav. Good luck with your unread books.🤓
Oh my God you HAVE to read CHECK PLEASE! You will love it so much. Garenteed or your money back.
Inkheart was my childhood favourite! 😍 time to reread I guess
I love LOVED the Gregor the Overlander series! I keep thinking about going back to reread it but I can't ever find my copies ;v;
You need to read My Brother's Husband immediately. That is a great manga/graphic novel! Plus you can read it in one sitting.
*tries desperately to avoid looking at my bookshelves through the entirety of the video*
Tender is the Flesh is very interesting.
Punching The Air and October October are two of my favourite books ever and you will love them! October October is so you!
The DollMaker of Krakow is amazing
The Wolf Den and Jade City are worth the read!

- Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
- Second dad summer
- Gregor the overlander series

I loved Cemetery Boys! I think you'll love it too! :D
The Land of Yesterday (MUST READ)
I currently have 693 books on my TBR on Goodreads. I can't say I own that many though XD
So many good choices! I’m reading The Mercies soon to fulfill a prompt for a sapphic readathon, so I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts on it in the near-it’s future!
Wow, that's a lot! I have read, and highly recommend, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Anne of Green Gables, Take Back the Block, When Stars Are Scattered, Stargazing, Harbor Me, The Secret of Nightingale Wood, Second Dad Summer, The Only Black Girls in Town, El Deafo, The One and Only Ivan, the 2 Ashley Herring Blake books, Wish, and The Dead Zone.

Malice. The sequel: Misrule is coming out this year. Malibu Rising. Cemetery Boys. Learn my Lesson. The Cousins. Concrete Rose.
Are you even surprised I’m going to say Inkheart?? It’s even right behind you! 🥰
I think I'll limit myself to two recs:
The Gravity of Us! I really enjoyed it when I read it
Inkheart! because it is german like me (also its good! )
I am glad to see that I am not the only one with a mountain of unread books! Lol
Dont be ashamed Gavin, I have unread books in the thousand mark😂 The joy and love of being a Waterstones Bookseller.x
Have you got to reading shadow in the glass yet? I enjoyed that one when I read it
