Never apologize for abandoning books! It is a superpower and helps us read more enjoyable books.
I love that you DNF a book because that was my new years resolution. Too many times I've just forced myself through a book because it's popular or I've read half of it. If a book doesn't grip me within the first 50-100 pages I just DNF now. Too many books to read
My jaw DROPPED at the spoilers for off the deep end?!?!?!? WHAT
I love this series! I love the Spin the Wheel element and I think it will ensure that you get to books you might not otherwise.
Me too. I would love it if we got monthly backlist bonanzas
"Did I finish the book or did the book finish me" is the best feeling tbh, I love reading!!! I love the spinning wheel element and would love to see it come back!
24:00 I've been eagerly anticipating this moment !!!!
I can’t believe I waited so long lol I loved it so much!!! 🤯
Me too! I picked it up last year when I saw your video and it was a surprise 5⭐️ for me. I couldn’t put it down and I was reading on my phone.😬 I want to reread it now that I literally got the physical copy a few days ago🤓
yep Other Side of Night was one of my top 5 books of the year in 2022! not just the plot twists but the emotional layer to it makes it so much more special than a typical thriller
I selected Other Side of Night from Aardvark Book Club. I devoured it. It deserves more attention!
Ahhh it’s so good!!! ❤
When u were discussing spoilers for Off the Deep End I was like wtfffff?!?! P.s enjoyed the vlog🫶
gabby!! i loved this video so much! i've been in the worst reading slump while i've been moving house and this made me feel so inspired to pick up a book again, even if you didn't read the BEST books in the world lol. can't wait for another video in this series!!
Aw thank you so much Jaime I appreciate it 🥹🫶🏻
Thank you for the extended section on Off the Deep End-exactly how I felt about this book, way too many random ideas crammed into it and it was tonally all over the place! (Also immediately borrowed The Other Side of Night!)
It did feel very random!! 😅 and yes ahhh I hope you enjoy it!!
Gabyyyy... I followed your advice and read "the other side of night" without reading any review or looking at it on goodreads, and omgggggg it was soooo gooodddddd... thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
I honestly think I DNF more regularly than actually finish books. It is NECESSARY especially if you have a large list of books to read. So not worth reading something you won’t enjoy!! Keep DNFing, gabby!
I thought this was really fun! I love the wheel! It adds an extra layer of suspense. 🥰🥰🥰
I love the soin the weel element because it's always a mystery
I'm definitely in my DNF era so I enjoyed seeing you put down books you weren't loving. I try to DNF any books that are 1 and 2 stars, but this year I'm also pushing myself to DNF more books that just seem like mediocre 3 stars. It's not always easy, but it IS always freeing lol.
I have been challenging myself to read some books that have been on my shelf forever. I’m always drawn to the new releases, too! I really liked “You Will Know Me,” but it’s for sure a slow burn. I think it’s good to move on when something isn’t working for you!
With Joe Hill, I think you may the Locke and Key graphic novel series way more.
Spinning the wheel is the fun part!
Great vlog. DNFing books are totally fine to do. We all have different tates with certain books.📚☕
The food you made in this vlog looked DELICIOUS!
Thanks Gav!!! It was so good 🫢
I love this video! I love how you spend for a book after you finish one.
I loved the throwback song used from your videos before. The vibes took me back to when I first found your channel. Loved it!! ❤❤
🥹🥹🥰🥰
@@gabbyreads 🫶🏽🫶🏽
Thanks for the vlog!
This is the perfect way to get to blacklist books. Please do this again.
I love the backlist bonanza! I think you should keep doing them. I started a backlist bonanza of my own because I have a ton of books that have been sitting on my bookshelf for a year or more. Using the wheel makes it so exciting!
That was a really fun video!
Love the spin a wheel aspect of this video!
I like this book purge that you're doing. I mean if you're not liking these books, send them on their way! Make room for other great upcoming books!
Gabby in her DNF era don't forget the Era's tour is coming to Disney+ Thursday
omg okay I need to read The Other Side of Night!! also, we have the exact same faves from Eternal Sunshine lol the TASTE 👏
Ahh I’d be so curious to hear your thoughts on that book!! Also yessss I love that our music taste matches hahhaa how iconic 😍👏
Heckuva an idea to "attack" that backlist, Gabby -- brilliant of you, I love it. Love your wheel too! Now I will watch the rest of the video...
And here I am too!!! finally catching up!!!💞🥰always enjoy your vlogs so much!!
Thanks Amanda!!! 🥹🥰
I’m loving the backlist videos. I was really hoping you’d get Dark Places n your wheel. I’ve been dying to see you read Gillian Flynn again.
Thanks Steph!! And same ahhh hopefully next round I will 😍
You had me at “for fans of Matt Haig”…. I have left this video to read The Other Side of Night. Loved this vid! OkayLoveYaBye
Loved Other Side of Night!!
Hahah ahhhh I hope you enjoy it Kat!!! ❤
This was so fun!
I love the spin the wheel effect in this post
Great vlog as usual Gabby! Thank you for letting us know about Off the Deep End! I’ll definitely be skipping that one
Another vlog I am loving! Your vidoes just give me all the vibes i love!❤
Thanks Roxie!!! 🥹🥰
You are one of the only TH-camrs whose reading vlogs I watch. You always make it super entertaining.
That’s so sweet thank you!!! ❤
Always enjoy all your videos ❤
Thank you!! ❤
DNFing books you're not enjoying is the best thing! It's your right! Never torture yourself with a bad book for the sake of content.
I love this concept! I need to do something like this to drastically lower my tbr
I love that you’re dnf’ing books that you can see you won’t rate highly. I’ve been doing that this year, and most of my reads have been 4 and 5 stars.
Yesss it’s such a fun way to get through backlist books!! And I love that we’re both not caring as much about DNF’s this year!! ❤
I just love these videos. I was holding my breath with the wheel got close to Dead Silence. It’s one of my favorites!
I have grown to love DNFing books I’m not enjoying. I have too many that I own that I haven’t read to waste my time. The last one I DNF’ed was the first Crescent City book and will not be continuing with the series even though I bought the next two. I know it’s beloved but almost 200 pages in and I was so bored that I just couldn’t do it anymore.
yesss you got the cold foam stuff!
It’s sooooooo good 😍
I love seeing the dnfs 🙌 it gives me strength to also dnf books im not into 😂😂. Ew the spoilers to off the deep end.. I didn't plan on reading it so I love that you included that, so I still knew what it was about
I agree about the " off the deep end " It made me very uncomfortable and I hated the end
I absolutely love your video ideas lately. It's such an interesting video. Please consider doing more.
Thank you!!! ❤
I love ur reading vlogs!! Also loving the new Ariana cd as well! I looked up that Lucinda Berry book in my Libby app but they didnt have it. Good thing i watched the spoilers because hard pass!! I read Saving Noah and it is super super dark. Wasnt my thing to read about. I would definitely keep the spin the wheel format with blacklist books, it was great!
idk what it is, but every time I watch your channel I get so much motivation to work on my own channel. Thank you so much for the motivation push I've been lacking
I’m so glad 🥰🥰🥰
I love this series!
I’ve read all of Lucinda Berry’s books. My favorite is Prefect Child. I love that they are strange and dark.
the other side of the night is totally going to my tbr!
I'm not the biggest fan of vlogs but for some reason I always love yours!
Thank you!! 🥰
I've read pretty much all Lucinda Berry novels, and Saving Noah was the most intense, heaviest and difficult books I have ever read in my life.
And I do love drama and heavy stuff, but Saving Noah is NOT an easy read. I loved it. But it's very disturbing and unsettling. Much more than Off the Deep End.
Saving Noah was so good.
Saving Noah taught me so much! It was heavy, truly heavy. The climax scene tore me apart!
DNFing is always a good idea in my opinion. No point not enjoying a book when reading is meant to be enjoyable
ooh i should read more backlist books too
Yesss I’d love to see your take on a backlist books video with the spin the wheel!! 👏
I love videos like this. Yeah there were a lot of dnfs, but your backlist is that much shorter now!
The other side of night!!!!! So under-hyped!
Ahh yay I’m so glad you loved it! I remember after finishing that book I immediately went back and read the first two chapters again because the ending changed everythingggg!
Agree!
Yes ahhh that book is so under hyped!! So good!! ❤
Omg, Gabby!!! I'm telling Sprite that you're cheating on them with Starry😆
😂🫢
I'm a huge swiftie and arianator! I'm glad you liked eternal sunshine, it's such a highly anticipated release and she did not disappoint!
So you not loving Joe Hill I have to recommend his Graphic Novel Series Locke & Key. It’s a masterpiece IMO!
I read The Other Side Of Night based on this video and it broke me!!! 😭😭😭😭 it was ssooo good!!! ❤❤❤
*SIGHS* Okay I’ll add Other Side of Night to my endless TBR😂
😂😂😂
I read Strange Weather for a book club and no one enjoyed it, so I think you're safe DNFing, especially if you previously didn't vibe with his writing 😂
I think you'd like Library at Mount Char. Good horror elements. Very unique.
As soon as I saw you hold up a Megan Abbott, I assumed you wouldn’t finish it. I read The Turnout last year and really didn’t enjoy it. Same criticism you had except it focused on ballet…nothing happened for almost the entire book.
It Off the Deep End made you uncomfortable, then I definitely wouldn’t recommend reading Saving Noah.
Also yes, definitely keep using the spinner wheel! :)
My TBR is too big to finish books I'm not vibing with! DNF for your sanity 😊
Lucinda's backlist is better than the new ones. If you like "pretty girls" read "appetite for innocence"
I love Lucinda Berry but ya that one was just okay in my opinion
I have had the dead and the dark for years maybe I will read it now
Oh, wow. I've read 11 of Lucinda's books and I didn't realize I'd read that many. They mostly average 3-4 stars for me but she does have one that I gave a 2. I did give The Perfect Child four stars, so I'm curious how you rate this one. I gave this one 3 stars. Saving Noah is her best, IMO.
Sooo I got an ARC of The Other Side of Night and I would have DNF’d if I didn’t have to finish for Netgalley 😢 I gave it a 2
I literally DNF'd Strange Weather after the first few pages. Whenever I read "her heart-shaped can," I nearly gagged 🤣
I also Dnf it and unhauled it.
I enjoyed the journey of Locke and Key but I feel that Joe Hill suffers from the same problem as his dad. Neither of them seem to be able to conclude their stories well. To be fair, I haven’t read enough of either Joe Hill’s or Stephen King’s books yet but I am willing to read more from both.
I hear ya, The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco has the same thing inbetween chapters
Megan Abbott's books aren't for me either. I read The Turnout last year and it was so damn creepy and weird. Like, the ballet teacher might be having a relationship with her sister and adopted brother. I DNF'd so idk, but damn, it was so creepy.
I loveee your hair color
Thank you!!
I have only tried Heart-shaped Box by Joe Hill and it was a DNF.
I’d do this too, but I’d have to put 200 books on that wheel 😂
That would definitely raise the stakes haha 😂
I'm a huge Stephen King fan, and I've read Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill, and his writing is just too weird for me. Joe and his dad are definitely two very different writers. You didn't miss much by not finishing You will know Me. It was just meh for me.
Your gym needs to invest in book holders for their treadmills.
Facts 👀
Eternal Sunshine is amazing. Love Supernatural & Bye for the sound and the title track & dont wanna break up for the lyrics. I think the friends song works is also great for a single kinda like that yes and didn't give away the sound of the album, its so different to the rest!
Great vlog and I love this concept! What is the website that you use for the spinning thing?
It’s called wheel of names 😊
@@gabbyreads aww thank you so much! 😊 I just love your videos!
I appreciate you dnfing.
Life is too short to not DNF.
❤❤❤
I think Joe Hill is a serious case of being a nepo baby. 😂
Super random but what website did you use for the spin the wheel and did it save the titles you put in?
Lucenda Berry is popcorn wtf reads
I'm never annoyed by booktubers DNFing! In fact I get slightly annoyed when they DON'T dnf a book they're disliking... If your goal is to decrease your owned TBR, dnfing is *ideal* because it gets books off your tbr the fastest!
Ok, Gabby, I was about to get Off The Deep End. ...... The spoilers !!! 💀 Well- you currently have 666 👿 LIKES for this video 😮
💀 🤣 Have a great weekend! The pasta does look so yummy
Hello!😊Have a nice day! How is it going? Great channel and good video.👍568👈
No librarian would ever give out patron information in regards to which patron checked out a book before them; that's so unrealistic and makes me disappointed in Adam Hamdy.
And now I suddenly want salad…
Those off the deep in spoilers are GROSS will never read that wtf
I honestly don't mind if you feel the need to DNF books.
