    You say nerd like it's a bad thing, but I think we're all just happy to see you enjoying something so thoroughly!

    You deserved the damn break from marathoning all those series. You need to do these kinda vlogs more often!

    Not a “random” vlog, but exactly what slice of life is about. Very enjoyable. Thank you for taking us along on your week journey. If you do a Titanic week in April, I will be very excited for it!

    I've never gotten a Lego set before but you are really tempting me with that Lord of the Rings one. Its so pretty

    • @GavinReadsItAll
      @GavinReadsItAll  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      It really is a gorgeous set, I would LOVE for you to try building one, I think you’d be awesome at it (and it’s so fun)

    I love these vlogs so freaking much. Also, my husband is almost 40 and LOVES Lego. I bought it for him once as a gift and he was immediately obsessed, he also listens to audiobooks while building. It's an expensive hobby for the intricate ones but they are so cool. Not a nerdy thing, imo.

  • @NorthStar3922
    @NorthStar3922 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I went down the LEGO rabbit hole toward the end of last year after not really playing with LEGO sets since I was a kid and it is so good for my mental health. More than anything it keeps me away from doomscrolling on my phone. It’s wonderful!

  • @hannahcpk

  • @samantharose1001
    @samantharose1001 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I feel like planning / organization / to-do lists are so personal for what works best for people. I’m not very good at rigid routines because the idea of repeating something the exact same endlessly is boring to me. So sometimes my plans / to-dos are in my notes app, sometimes Notion, sometimes on paper. It’s whatever feels right on the day. If Word works then it works ✨

    @connorwingg ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Gavin thank you so much for validating me! I know you have no idea who I am but I'm just another bookish person who often deals with feelings of shame about my introverted, calm, gentle nature but your videos always make me feel understood. Cheers to us nerds!

    I recommend Delinquent Daddy and Tender Teacher as an amazing BL series. It's a very heartwarming story about a single dad and his relationship with his son's teacher.

    I so loved watching u dabbling back into lego. Don't worry, there are many adults, myself included, that still build. I'm particular to the lego modular buildings. It gets a little expensive but such fun. Happy building!!!❤

  • @TheHexedLibrary
    @TheHexedLibrary ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This was a great vlog, no need to apologize! As atmospheric as the LOTR vlog was, this was a complete tonal shift and it felt just as fun but completely different! Building lego always looks like so much fun to me but I just don't know what I would do with it after it was built. Kudos to you for finding a good place for it!

  • @RachelJ2016
    @RachelJ2016 ปีที่แล้ว

    This video is PERFECTION! First the LOTR vlog & now this slice of life vlog with Rivendell Lego building and kitty purring 🥹🤌🏻🤌🏻 More of this in 2024 Gav, we’re loving it 🤍🖤🤍🖤

  • @SabineThinkerbellum
    @SabineThinkerbellum ปีที่แล้ว

    I owe you, Gavin.
    I had read The Lord of the Rings at the age of 14 but the books were sitting on my shelf ever since (45 long years). No idea what made me pick up The Fellowship of the Ring last week but I couldn’t be happier right now.
    While getting more obsessed with the story by the hour I was looking for reading vlogs on youtube. Your vlog popped up on my timeline and I got sucked in. It was magical following you along while I was reading it as well. I’m still not done though and will watch your vlog once again for sure.
    You have gained a subscriber because it seems that your content and your vlogs are exactly what I need right now :)

  • @reneechapman4743
    @reneechapman4743 ปีที่แล้ว

    I LOVED your LOTR's vlog, soooooooo much!!! I was so excited for you and I was also completely envious and would love to have that experience one day. I am currently making my way through LOTR as a read along with Andy Serkis, I started it in December, it has been years and years since I first read them. I splurged and bought some fancy copies of the books but then I was worried about ruining them so I put them away on the bookshelf and went and bought less fancy versions 😁 Another of my fav Tolkien books is Roverandon, it was a story he wrote when his son Michael lost his toy dog at the beach, the dog had a delightful adventure!

  • @Pondemonium89
    @Pondemonium89 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I've never been a Lego girlie but this looked so much fun 🥺🥺🥺🥺 I love the idea of ordering food, listening to an audiobook while the hands are busy.
    When you said it's 3 am tho 😂😂 I was shocked.
    Also love the creative prosecces of what videos you want to do 🎉 I saw the library silent challenge on my feed and can't wait to watch.
    Thank you for this cozy vlog ❤❤

  • @life_of_wine_and_books
    @life_of_wine_and_books ปีที่แล้ว

    If you're looking for Titanic books for April, A Million to One by Adiba Jaigirdar and Luck of the Titanic by Stacey Lee are both amazing and super unique.

    @dracaryslace ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love these videos, I had it playing on TV while doing some annotating for study. ❤ Rivendell turned out beautiful!! As for the Tolkien books, I HIGHLY recommend you read them!! You should definitely read The Children of Hurin next, it's one of Tolkien's darker tragic stories and wonderfully read by Christopher Lee in audiobook form!

  • @annmariesloan8406
    @annmariesloan8406 ปีที่แล้ว

    Your Lego project would be a good reading sprints project. Listening to an audio book while you put Rivendell together

    I really enjoyed hanging out with you on this one 😊
    The cats are such cuddle monsters 🥰
    Love the new living room arrangement- very cozy looking 👍👍
    Also- now I want to try and build a Lego kit 👀

  • @meikusje
    @meikusje ปีที่แล้ว

    Wowww that LEGO set is gorgeous 😍 I never got into LEGO because I thought it was like a puzzle and you had to figure out yourself which pieces go where, and that always seemed so intimidating and impossible to me 😂 but I recently learned that those sets come in all those different bags, with instructions, so it isn't as intimidating as I thought. I still don't think I'll be picking it up as a hobby, my reading and crafts are eating up enough of my money as it is, but at least now I understand how other people can do it. I really enjoy these vlogs of yours, it's not random imo, it's just showing a different side of you!

    The way that I literally cheered when you were planning February uploads and you said "I can skip an upload. That's fine" YES, GAVIN!!!!

  • @moosedawg13

  • @krisprepolec5616

    You need some of those rubber finger covers for sorting paper to do that much Lego at once. It looks really cool :-)

  • @OliviasCatastrophe
    @OliviasCatastrophe ปีที่แล้ว

    You powered through that lego build! Also you reshuffling the living room has made me crave a new bookshelf so I can do a little bookshelf reorganisation. I am hoping to read legends and lattes next week and maybe then I'll move straight on to bookshops and bonedust if it's good. But it's good to know the prequel is even better.

  • @angelajones129

    I was watching the video and tge part where you were sitting on the couch with the kitties. I started hearing a person's voice. Took me a minute to realize it was something you were either watching or listening too. Though a podcast had somehow started playing in our kitchen. Even though there is music playing on the TV 😂😂

  • @gabbyreads

  • @danasloves
    @danasloves ปีที่แล้ว

    I am impressed you got it done as fast as you did. I am terrible at putting together Lego with instructions. I can free build just fine but an actual real set? Nope. It turned out beautifully! These slice of life vlogs are really fun to watch.

  • @welshreader
    @welshreader ปีที่แล้ว

    I’ve wanted the Rivendell lego set ever since it was announced and this has made me desperate to get to it! Love all of the details in it and I feel like you did such a good job in a good amount of time🤩
    You could always do public reading sprints on the day that you miss an upload? No pressure or anything, just a thought in case you need something!

  • @liezllovesbooks

  • @NicolleRoxborough

    @zara6472 ปีที่แล้ว

    Enjoyed hanging out with you while you did lego and i finished my first paint by numbers (it took me a few hours a day for 6 days!).
    For the valentine's video instead of taking off an item of clothing you put on an item of clothing. Think Joey when he wears ALL of Chandler's clothes in Friends. Also loved the LOTR video. I now want to binge read and binge watch the series ❤

  • @fionahowellwrites5302
    @fionahowellwrites5302 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am obsessed with the Lego set!! What a fun cozy time reading and putting it together. I must say you are dedicated. I have a miniature bookstore half done from Christmas and it is still a mess in the corner of my room. You are inspiring me to pick it up again.

  • @aznickster
    @aznickster ปีที่แล้ว

    I love Legos! I am so glad you enjoyed building your set. It probably won’t be your last. I built the movie theater several years back and had so much fun doing it I had to continue. I loved Legends & Lattes and Bookshops & Bonedust. They are so wholesome and they are just what my heart needed. I loved this vlog! You continue to create top tier content!

    LOVE THIS VLOG!!! 30 minutes in and I love it! AND I love to see you doing something for you!! I'm will watch the lord of the rings vlog after this. AGAIN. It's in my favorite BookTube-vlogs list, stuff I can watch over and over again. ❤

    I’m so happy you had the time to meet up with your friend after so long. Last year I got back in contact with a high school friend I also hadn’t seen for 6 years. And now I got to be her first son’s very first babysitter, and we will go on a vacation together in October. Proof that losing contact doesn’t mean a lost friendship!

  • @JennaThePanda
    @JennaThePanda ปีที่แล้ว

    I love that LOTR lego set! I’m currently doing the Lego set for Jurassic Park (T-rex attacking the car scene) it’s only 1,212 pieces but it’s so fun 😊

  • @skidaddle8012
    @skidaddle8012 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for putting up yet another great vlog Gavin. Your cats are just so adorable.❤ I've got to admit I'm not into fantasy. Just read the Ninth House and it wasn't too bad. But I guess I'm too much of a realist to step into the fantasy world or it could be due to the fact that I've read too many YA fantasy novels like the Hunger Games with my students. 😁🤔Anyhoo. I'm glad you enjoyed reading the Lord of The Rings book. 😊
    The Lego construction looks fantastic. Great achievement.👍

  • @ItsAPotterParty
    @ItsAPotterParty ปีที่แล้ว
