Thank you SO much for watching my little video on the Gossip Girl book series! It would mean the world if you could like the video, leave a comment, subscribe and share with your friends 🥰 What was your favourite moment from the book series? Who is your favourite character? And most of all, did any of this sh*t happen in the TV show? I'd love for you to tell me all the differences and similarities. You know you love me! XOXO Gossip Gav 💋
Did I ever watched this show? No. Have I read the books? Also no. Will I ever watch it or read it? No. Am I watching the whole 4 hours of this masterpiece? Yes, yes I am.
Can confirm Chuck did not have an actual monkey in the TV show but he did acquire a dog called Monkey in season 5 after he literally becomes numb to all physical pain after Blair agrees to marry Louis (the prince of Monaco). It's very dumb and I've just realised that I'm full of unnecessary GG TV show trivia 😅
Idk why that smal tidbit made me so happy when he got the dog and named it that. Basically nothing is like the books but i thought that was so cute for them to add it in
I read all the books in my early teens, probably around 13-16 years old. I had no memory of how I felt about them. However, I love the show. I've rewatched it several times and it's totally iconic. I was so shocked watching this to learn about how bad the books were. Since you survived all the books, you should watch the show! After this, I'd love to see you talk about It Girl with Jenny.
Oh my gosh Gavin!!!! The amount of time that went into this video not just with reading the books but the editing!!! The voiceovers!! Wow I am blown away, you’re an icon!! 😍🤩 no one is doing it on booktube like you are Gavin!!! You go above and beyond and I admire you so much for it 🙌
I read these as they came out when I was 13-18. I loved them. I loved the kind of ironic humour and the use of GG as a narrator who disliked the characters. I thought it was clever that B and S were fighting over N who was clearly a complete loser. I also thought it was clever that the "anti-N", D, was more like N than not, and also a complete loser. I didn't date in secondary school and I think it's partly because of these books.
Omg I'm so glad I found your channel! Can't wait to watch ur TVD and PLL videos after this cause I always struggled to get through all these shows books
I can’t believe Chuck’s pet monkey was Gossip Girl all along. Anyway, this was a great video and I’m super glad the algorithm decided to show it to me! Can’t wait to watch the one on pretty little liars. ❤
I remember having the first book on audio when I was like 12 because I had an iTunes gift card and my dad just assumed by the title it was a preteen book….I’m still haunted by the “parted my Red Sea” part lmaoo
Got the heated blanket on, a flask of hot chocolate and a whole load of snacks to keep me company for this one - only a few minutes in but already know this is going to be a fun ride! Can’t beat a mega Gav video - thank you!
i have fallen asleep to this every single night since it came out and every single morning i have had to go back and rewatch the last section where i fell asleep cos *aerosmith voice* i don't wanna miss a thinggggg superb video. you have such a calm and cosy vibe, it's really relaxing. but as a show watcher who suffered through the finale in real time i CANNOT BELIEVE the gossip girl book reveal. the CHEEK. makes me so glad i never read past the first book, but your sacrifice is appreciated!
This was a WILD ride, worth every minute! I can only hope now that someone publishes Dan’s poems so that we can roast them properly! 😂. Insane the amount of work you did! What an inspiration!
'Apple-white arms' is the only truly lovely and poetic phrase Dan ever managed to write that we learn of. Source: I have actually written prize-winning poetry before.
This was amazing!!! Watching this makes me incredibly grateful I never ended up reading this series back in the day when I originally wanted to but also I’m super grateful to now know everything that happened in it!
Commenting before watching the whole thing to let you know that you're a trooper for getting through this vlog! Thank you for always putting so much energy into your content, it really shows and all your videos are so entertaining ✨️💛
OH GOSH I WOULD NEVER WISH THIS SERIES UPON ANYONE. But thank you for such an entertaining trip down memory lane. I’m glad you called attention to all the problematic things in here. I read these as a teenager when I was less discerning about problematic topics, but even back then these books were SO egregious that I noticed. Also, I’m sure you get this all the time, but do you mind letting me know what those rainbow books on your right are? They’re GORGEOUS. I just found your channel btw, can’t wait to binge the rest of your series videos
ปีที่แล้ว +30
I used to read this book series as a teen and watch the show. I loved it all so much I even did a presentation about the books in eighth grade. My friends even made my graduation year book entry look like the gossip girl website 😅
GAVIN. THIS IS A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE. I think you would really like reading The Clique novels by Lisi Harrison. Private school girls in Westchester, New York, popularity contests, fashion, boys, mean girls, etc. There’s also a movie directed by the one and only Tyra Banks. Idk why I’ve never thought to suggest them before but I think they’d be right up your street! AMAZED by the dedication you have to consuming this media for us. ♥️ Can’t wait for the next one!
It really brightened my day to come home from a tiring shift at work to find a nice long video waiting for me! I've never watched the show or read the books, so I'm excited to see what it's all about!
It’s interesting how many side characters show up in the show but have so little to do with any of the book plotlines lol. Like the show writers really skimmed through the books and went “Damian, that’s a good name, let’s do something with that.”
FOUR HOURS?? Legend .😭 Can’t wait to watch this after the day’s over and have all the stress be whisked away!! Also remember when you said in your live that none of the OP viewers would want to watch this? You were wrong because I love books AND One Piece. And nothing will keep me away from nostalgic series reviews. 😈
I am so glad someone, anyone on BookTube remembered these exist! I ate them up so back in high school, so much so I read 13/14 of them (minus the spin-off) back-to-back in less than a month. Obsessed? Definitely. And now Gavin will explain it all in an appropriately lengthy discussion? Perfection. I am truly thankful for your dedication to educate the masses of the humble beginnings of GG!!!
At chapter 4 and I’m howling at Dan’s the poetry saga. “You’re he next Keats????” I was also waiting for the rock band part bc I distinctly remember a scene where he was practicing in in front a mirror that I thought was the funniest thing. The description was something along the lines of “ he saucily stuck out his skinny gut and yowled the lyrics I’d love to see a video about the it girl series if you ever feel like making one. I remember enjoying it more than the gospel series because Jenny was a more enjoyable protagonist then Blair, Serena and Nate. The other characters were pretty similar, but I enjoyed it
I have never seen Gossip Girl and I will never read these books, but I was here for this whole vlog😂. This was amazing, keep up this amazing entertainment ❤
the biggest jaw dropping moment was how Jenny said she wouldn't get breast reduction surgery "because they were part of who she is" and then you find out in the prequel she was only well endowed because she took estrogen pills
So in the show Chuck gets a dog in the beginning of season 5 who randomly disappears again when he's not convenient for the plot anymore and the dog's name is, get this, Monkey. The writers really thought they did something 😂
This intro and the graphics you’ve created are EVERYTHING. I’m so excited to watch this entire thing throughout my day off today. Your hard work is UNMATCHED💓
I have been dying to get my hands on these books for a while but for some reason, they're so hard for me to find. I love the TH-cam algorithm because it lead me right to you. I subscribed as soon as you poured the wine in your glass.
This sounds like the kind of storyline my friends and I came up with playing with Barbies as kids. Amazing that this is a published series and TV show. I thought that Dan was going to be the biggest cheater, he seems to give the vibe that he would go wherever his "heart" led and feel justified doing so, and doesn't seem like that impression is wrong even if Nate turned out to be the worst 😅
2:07:47 as a woman with female friends, I would never bathe naked with them. That's not platonic. The B & S of the books flirt constantly, get jealous over each other, and end up sort-of together--they're a stealth couple, not 'besties'. Death of the Author here, sorry.
It's such a great video- I love how you're ranting! The relationship between Serena and Blair is a bit confusing here. The first interaction between them is, that Blair hates Serena and then they never talk again, till they're moving in together in book 4 or so? haha I read the books myself you know... I really tried it but couldn't make it any longer than 3 or 4 books- it is so bad, but I really wanted to know how the story went- so thank you very much for this video!
Psycho Killer sounds like such a fun idea, just do a slasher version of your story, but it's literally the same book. And it doesn't take the obvious angle, which is to do a Scream rip off with the original plot, i.e. it's a mystery who the killer is and why they're doing this, the cast gets slowly bumped off, then big climax with a crazy twist like maybe the Gossip Girl site is them. It's right there!
Ever since the reboot got cancelled, i got this sudden urge to read the books. However i wanted to hear it on audiobook on here (TH-cam) and even after all these years, there wasn't a complete book (and if there was, it was in a different language). So thank you for reading ALL of the books and 48hrs in making this 😂😂 i can't believe it carried for so long 😂 but honestly, thanks for saving me the headache bc that was frustrating! I'm glad that know one stayed together and that Chuck developed into a great person. Like i wonder why out of all the characters, Chuck was the one to evolve. But yeah, Nate has definitely came my lastest favorite. He gave me the most headache. I remember reading the first book, but all i remember was Jenny smoking pot with Nate and trying to look cool and like she knew what she was doing smoking 😅 Anyways thanks again this was amazing!
Another series to check out if you haven’t already is The Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris aka the True Blood novels. I enjoyed them (especially as audiobooks, the narrator is amazing) but they have LOADS of problems while also having fun moments. Some similarities with the first, maybe, four books if you watched the show, and then the show and books went in different directions.
Don’t take this the wrong way, but sometimes I play your longer series reviews so I can fall asleep (your voice is very calming). So, I took a nap, and now I’m actually watching the video and having the time of my life. Literally never seen Gossip Girl but I’ve been so excited since you posted that you were doing this, your PLL video is one of my favorites on your channel and this gave me the vibes ☺️
Discovered this channel today through Kayla's bookclub stream. Subscribed immediately for the sheer effort and creativity that's gone into this masterpiece!
Thank-you so much for all your effort slogging through this series (c'mon saga let's be real)... I tried recently to read the books and gave up after book 2....so all the props for making it to the end (never thought I would ever say that the TV show was EVER better written thank the source material) gold medal you you!!!
You are incredible Gavin! This is a masterpiece! I've never read the books or watched the show, but I watched the entire video and had so much fun. Thanks for doing this!
My favorite line in the whole video "the fact that this series was published in the first place, just shows you anything can happen!" I still have an hour left but just had to comment on that :D Loved this video!
Oh this is 4 hours so well spent 😂😂🤣🙌 Highest praise for Gav for actually reading this whole series & blessing us with this epically entertaining play by play review 👑🙌
I hated the way Jenny was described. I had large breasts too as a young teen and it made me so embarrassed because it basically let me know that yes, everyone notices them first.
Please read 'The It Girl' series, the spin off of Gossip Girl books about Jenny! I never touched/consumed/was aware of Gossip Girl but I devoured It Girl!
The slash rewrite is killing me, omg! The ways they're killing people make no sense, and they would 100% be caught if they're killing people like this. So many witnesses!!! Also, thank you for reading all of these so we don't have to!
I just watched all 4 hours of this video. I've watched this video for longer then I actual TV show. Thank you for the amount of time and effort you would of had to put into this. I haven't laughed or cringed/questioned/WTF'd so much in a while. Those books... definitely haven't aged well!
Leaving a comment to say I already love the idea, the hard work and the fun you have with the book series as I dip in and out of this over the next days
Thank you SO much for watching my little video on the Gossip Girl book series! It would mean the world if you could like the video, leave a comment, subscribe and share with your friends 🥰 What was your favourite moment from the book series? Who is your favourite character? And most of all, did any of this sh*t happen in the TV show? I'd love for you to tell me all the differences and similarities. You know you love me! XOXO Gossip Gav 💋
Already subscribed....video liked. Keep up the great content, Gav
@@carrieorsel1340 Thanks so much Carrie!!
JUST STARTED WATCHING! So exciteddddd!! ❤❤
@@eviechatsandchapters ahh thanks Evie!!
Did I ever watched this show? No. Have I read the books? Also no. Will I ever watch it or read it? No. Am I watching the whole 4 hours of this masterpiece? Yes, yes I am.
It’s what I’m here for, allow me to read it all so you don’t have to 😉
Same. I very much enjoy letting Gavin do all the hard work, no need to read all the crappy books. Gavin, thank you for your service 😆
Same!!!
Same here!
Same!
wait the fact that the original author wrote a slasher version of the first gossip girl book is actually so fucking iconic wtf
"I've never stolen anything in my life, apart from a few things." that probably made me laugh way more than it should've lmao
I feel like Nate could use this line. “I’ve never cheated on my life, apart from a few times” 😭
the fact i fell asleep during book 5, woke up during book 11 and the story was still THE SAME
Can confirm Chuck did not have an actual monkey in the TV show but he did acquire a dog called Monkey in season 5 after he literally becomes numb to all physical pain after Blair agrees to marry Louis (the prince of Monaco). It's very dumb and I've just realised that I'm full of unnecessary GG TV show trivia 😅
Idk why that smal tidbit made me so happy when he got the dog and named it that. Basically nothing is like the books but i thought that was so cute for them to add it in
Gavin as Gossip Girl is a better explanation than the one the tv show gave
My biggest secret exposed xoxo
Ikr😭😭😂
“Spotted: G tearing out his hair while reading books for his new project. If he was tearing library books instead, there’d be hell to pay.”
Omg love that 😂
An hour in and I’m audibly laughing at Dan’s poem’s he’s really just saying anything
when i first read the books in middle school i thought the poems were sooooo good 😭🫡
I don't *get* poetry, but even I was like, Oh, babe, no
I vote we give Gav a full series vlog where he actually enjoys all of the books and doesn't just get angry at the characters or hate most of them
Haha where’s the fun in that 😂
It already exists in the form of One Piece 😉
The fact that everybody I follow now references Mike’s mic is making me feel like I’ve truly found my people.
Oh hello friend. My dear found sibling in this world 🤗
Heyyyyyyyy ❤ we are now contractually and factually family ❤
Dans poetry honestly had me in stitches 😂 We love a creative… 😬
you reading Gossip Girl in front of Shakespeare and Company is ART! I need it framed!
I need one of those street painters to paint it, I’ll be in touch 😂
I have only watched one minute of this and I already know it's iconic
Xoxo 😘
The Intro Sequence is ICONIC as per usual. Also, the sheer effort and mastering of the editing. Just wow.
Oh you 🥰
i'm on Chapter 3 of the video and my jaw dropped at Vanessa's reaction to the poem! GOOD LORD
WHAT WAS SHE ON???!!!!
I read all the books in my early teens, probably around 13-16 years old. I had no memory of how I felt about them. However, I love the show. I've rewatched it several times and it's totally iconic. I was so shocked watching this to learn about how bad the books were. Since you survived all the books, you should watch the show! After this, I'd love to see you talk about It Girl with Jenny.
Over 4 hours of gavin being the iconic legend that he is? Oh yes please 🥰
Oh youuuu ❤
Oh my gosh Gavin!!!! The amount of time that went into this video not just with reading the books but the editing!!! The voiceovers!! Wow I am blown away, you’re an icon!! 😍🤩 no one is doing it on booktube like you are Gavin!!! You go above and beyond and I admire you so much for it 🙌

I didn't date in secondary school and I think it's partly because of these books.
And the best part? In the last book at the very end, B & S are single, and go off together into the sunset to travel the world without a man. Amazing.
Omg I'm so glad I found your channel! Can't wait to watch ur TVD and PLL videos after this cause I always struggled to get through all these shows books
I can’t believe Chuck’s pet monkey was Gossip Girl all along.
Anyway, this was a great video and I’m super glad the algorithm decided to show it to me! Can’t wait to watch the one on pretty little liars. ❤
I remember having the first book on audio when I was like 12 because I had an iTunes gift card and my dad just assumed by the title it was a preteen book….I’m still haunted by the “parted my Red Sea” part lmaoo
Got the heated blanket on, a flask of hot chocolate and a whole load of snacks to keep me company for this one - only a few minutes in but already know this is going to be a fun ride! Can’t beat a mega Gav video - thank you!
Ahhh thanks so much, and you sound so cosy right now!! Love it ❤️
i have fallen asleep to this every single night since it came out and every single morning i have had to go back and rewatch the last section where i fell asleep cos *aerosmith voice* i don't wanna miss a thinggggg
superb video. you have such a calm and cosy vibe, it's really relaxing. but as a show watcher who suffered through the finale in real time i CANNOT BELIEVE the gossip girl book reveal. the CHEEK. makes me so glad i never read past the first book, but your sacrifice is appreciated!
i read the first 7 books when i was in middle school and this video made me realize that dan's horrid poems were stored somewhere deep in my memory
This was a WILD ride, worth every minute! I can only hope now that someone publishes Dan’s poems so that we can roast them properly! 😂. Insane the amount of work you did! What an inspiration!
And I didn’t even include all of Dan’s poems either haha it would be enough to fill a full book, I’m sure 😂
I adore these full series summary videos, the longer the better. Thank you so much 😄
Yay thanks so much 🥰
'Apple-white arms' is the only truly lovely and poetic phrase Dan ever managed to write that we learn of. Source: I have actually written prize-winning poetry before.
This was amazing!!! Watching this makes me incredibly grateful I never ended up reading this series back in the day when I originally wanted to but also I’m super grateful to now know everything that happened in it!
Great vid! 😇 it's funny how Nate was my favourite in the tv show but not the books, so glad they changed him for the show 💜
Commenting before watching the whole thing to let you know that you're a trooper for getting through this vlog! Thank you for always putting so much energy into your content, it really shows and all your videos are so entertaining ✨️💛
Aw thanks so much, that means a lot!
How have I never noticed the Ghost Whisperer books on the shelf... childhood favorites right there
I’ve never seen this show but I watched every single second of this video over 3 days and had the time of my life. You are a true master of the craft
OH GOSH I WOULD NEVER WISH THIS SERIES UPON ANYONE. But thank you for such an entertaining trip down memory lane. I’m glad you called attention to all the problematic things in here. I read these as a teenager when I was less discerning about problematic topics, but even back then these books were SO egregious that I noticed.
Also, I’m sure you get this all the time, but do you mind letting me know what those rainbow books on your right are? They’re GORGEOUS. I just found your channel btw, can’t wait to binge the rest of your series videos
I used to read this book series as a teen and watch the show. I loved it all so much I even did a presentation about the books in eighth grade. My friends even made my graduation year book entry look like the gossip girl website 😅
I am obsessed with that though!! A graduation book in the style of gossip girl?? Amazing!
I could literally sit and listen to you bash Dans poetry for FIVE hours straight, no complaints.
GAVIN. THIS IS A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE. I think you would really like reading The Clique novels by Lisi Harrison. Private school girls in Westchester, New York, popularity contests, fashion, boys, mean girls, etc. There’s also a movie directed by the one and only Tyra Banks. Idk why I’ve never thought to suggest them before but I think they’d be right up your street! AMAZED by the dedication you have to consuming this media for us. ♥️ Can’t wait for the next one!
seconding! it's sooo fun and cheesy, and the main character is even a fan of gossip girl! there's even a in-universe glossip girl lip gloss line
I agree, the Clique was my favourite series growing up!! Very fun
It really brightened my day to come home from a tiring shift at work to find a nice long video waiting for me! I've never watched the show or read the books, so I'm excited to see what it's all about!
Aw sorry to hear you had a tiring shift but hope I can keep you company while you put your feet up and relax
soooo much work went into this video, I am looking forward to watching it bit by bit this upcoming week💕. Thank you gavin!!!
Ahhh thanks so much, I hope you enjoy ❤️
It’s interesting how many side characters show up in the show but have so little to do with any of the book plotlines lol. Like the show writers really skimmed through the books and went “Damian, that’s a good name, let’s do something with that.”
It’s taken me 5 days to get through this video and know that I deeply appreciated your suffering for our entertainment 😂
YAY YOU FINISHED!!! ❤ Can’t wait to watch this all the way through!!
Eek thank you!! ❤
IM SO GLAD THIS VIDEO WAS SUGGESTED TO ME LOLLLLL im LOSING it. youre amazing
FOUR HOURS?? Legend .😭 Can’t wait to watch this after the day’s over and have all the stress be whisked away!!
Also remember when you said in your live that none of the OP viewers would want to watch this? You were wrong because I love books AND One Piece. And nothing will keep me away from nostalgic series reviews. 😈
Ahhh thanks so much!!! And I do hope you enjoy haha
I am so glad someone, anyone on BookTube remembered these exist! I ate them up so back in high school, so much so I read 13/14 of them (minus the spin-off) back-to-back in less than a month. Obsessed? Definitely. And now Gavin will explain it all in an appropriately lengthy discussion? Perfection. I am truly thankful for your dedication to educate the masses of the humble beginnings of GG!!!
At chapter 4 and I’m howling at Dan’s the poetry saga. “You’re he next Keats????”
I was also waiting for the rock band part bc I distinctly remember a scene where he was practicing in in front a mirror that I thought was the funniest thing. The description was something along the lines of “ he saucily stuck out his skinny gut and yowled the lyrics
I’d love to see a video about the it girl series if you ever feel like making one. I remember enjoying it more than the gospel series because Jenny was a more enjoyable protagonist then Blair, Serena and Nate. The other characters were pretty similar, but I enjoyed it
I prefered Nate when his story lines were just nonsensical or boring, not this toxic lol Great video!
I absolutely LOVED the book series when I was little. I’m so excited for this 😂😂
Eek hope you enjoy 🥰
@@GavinReadsItAll I am! I was 9 when these came out and when I started reading these books and a lot of this stuff went completely over my head!
22 mins in and I’ve already laughed so much 😂 so glad you filmed this ♥️
So glad you’re watching, thanks so much!
I didn't know that a 4 hour recap of the gossip girl book series that I read at age 15 is what I needed, but I am absolutely here for it.
Those book covers are such a throwback!
I have never seen Gossip Girl and I will never read these books, but I was here for this whole vlog😂. This was amazing, keep up this amazing entertainment ❤
So happy to see the return of the Magnum Opus. Also, ‘Gossip Girl’ is the easiest to adapt to horror lmao
the biggest jaw dropping moment was how Jenny said she wouldn't get breast reduction surgery "because they were part of who she is" and then you find out in the prequel she was only well endowed because she took estrogen pills
So in the show Chuck gets a dog in the beginning of season 5 who randomly disappears again when he's not convenient for the plot anymore and the dog's name is, get this, Monkey. The writers really thought they did something 😂
This intro and the graphics you’ve created are EVERYTHING. I’m so excited to watch this entire thing throughout my day off today. Your hard work is UNMATCHED💓
I’m watching this over the course of the day as my reading breaks and it’s been absolutely brilliant. I love this💅🏼
“I’ve never stolen anything in my life…. Except a few things” lmaaooo 💀
4+ hours of Gossip Girl and Gavin? I love these types of videos ♥
Hope you enjoy!
I have been dying to get my hands on these books for a while but for some reason, they're so hard for me to find. I love the TH-cam algorithm because it lead me right to you. I subscribed as soon as you poured the wine in your glass.
this video and Mike's Mic's recap of the gossip girl tv show are giving me more info on this series than i ever thought id have
This sounds like the kind of storyline my friends and I came up with playing with Barbies as kids. Amazing that this is a published series and TV show. I thought that Dan was going to be the biggest cheater, he seems to give the vibe that he would go wherever his "heart" led and feel justified doing so, and doesn't seem like that impression is wrong even if Nate turned out to be the worst 😅
There would have been 90% less drama if Blair, Serena, and Nate became a throuple.
Haha so true 😂
i'm so glad this video showed up in my recommended. as a connoisseur of video essays and books, i think your channel was made for me
42:59 HER BIRTHDAY??????? my jaw literally dropped. actually literally fell open. i know there's worse before and worse to come but OUCH
Totally obsessed with this series 😍 can’t wait to see which books you will choose next ♥️♥️♥️
I never watched this show but I enjoyed watching your run down on these books. So funny! 😂
2:07:47 as a woman with female friends, I would never bathe naked with them. That's not platonic. The B & S of the books flirt constantly, get jealous over each other, and end up sort-of together--they're a stealth couple, not 'besties'. Death of the Author here, sorry.
These books read like wattpad novels 😭
Between you and Mikes Mic now I got a rundown for both the series and the books, thanks!
So excited for another long video! You as Blair is a serve
Even the real Blair couldn’t 💅🏼
I love these long themed videos you do! They always cheer me up! 😂 We do really appreciate the effort and hours you put into these! 😊
Aw thanks so much, so glad you enjoy my movies haha and taking the time to watch them 🥰
It's such a great video- I love how you're ranting!
The relationship between Serena and Blair is a bit confusing here.
The first interaction between them is, that Blair hates Serena and then they never talk again, till they're moving in together in book 4 or so? haha
I read the books myself you know... I really tried it but couldn't make it any longer than 3 or 4 books- it is so bad, but I really wanted to know how the story went- so thank you very much for this video!
The use of the sound board is everything to me
Psycho Killer sounds like such a fun idea, just do a slasher version of your story, but it's literally the same book. And it doesn't take the obvious angle, which is to do a Scream rip off with the original plot, i.e. it's a mystery who the killer is and why they're doing this, the cast gets slowly bumped off, then big climax with a crazy twist like maybe the Gossip Girl site is them. It's right there!
Ever since the reboot got cancelled, i got this sudden urge to read the books. However i wanted to hear it on audiobook on here (TH-cam) and even after all these years, there wasn't a complete book (and if there was, it was in a different language). So thank you for reading ALL of the books and 48hrs in making this 😂😂 i can't believe it carried for so long 😂 but honestly, thanks for saving me the headache bc that was frustrating!
I'm glad that know one stayed together and that Chuck developed into a great person. Like i wonder why out of all the characters, Chuck was the one to evolve. But yeah, Nate has definitely came my lastest favorite. He gave me the most headache.
I remember reading the first book, but all i remember was Jenny smoking pot with Nate and trying to look cool and like she knew what she was doing smoking 😅 Anyways thanks again this was amazing!
Another series to check out if you haven’t already is The Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris aka the True Blood novels. I enjoyed them (especially as audiobooks, the narrator is amazing) but they have LOADS of problems while also having fun moments.
Some similarities with the first, maybe, four books if you watched the show, and then the show and books went in different directions.
Yessss Gavin!! So excited to watch this before bed tonight 😃🥳 Just what I needed
Yay thanks for making me your bedtime entertainment 🙌🏼
Don’t take this the wrong way, but sometimes I play your longer series reviews so I can fall asleep (your voice is very calming). So, I took a nap, and now I’m actually watching the video and having the time of my life. Literally never seen Gossip Girl but I’ve been so excited since you posted that you were doing this, your PLL video is one of my favorites on your channel and this gave me the vibes ☺️
I honestly take it is a compliment that my voice can be relaxing enough to help you sleep! And ayyy thanks so much, glad you’ve also been enjoying 🥰
You're out here doing the lords work! 😂 This entire series may as well have just been the first book it retread so many plotlines!
Discovered this channel today through Kayla's bookclub stream. Subscribed immediately for the sheer effort and creativity that's gone into this masterpiece!
Aw thanks for giving me a chance ❤️
you deserve all the followers and great coffees and wines of the world, this is ICONIC
Thank you 😭
that intro !!! ICONIC 🤩😂
Thank-you so much for all your effort slogging through this series (c'mon saga let's be real)... I tried recently to read the books and gave up after book 2....so all the props for making it to the end (never thought I would ever say that the TV show was EVER better written thank the source material) gold medal you you!!!
Yay thanks so much! And I’m so not surprised you couldn’t make it past book 2, you can now move on from that 👏🏼
You are incredible Gavin! This is a masterpiece! I've never read the books or watched the show, but I watched the entire video and had so much fun. Thanks for doing this!
This is the lord’s work right here.
Aw thank you so much!! 🥰
My favorite line in the whole video "the fact that this series was published in the first place, just shows you anything can happen!" I still have an hour left but just had to comment on that :D Loved this video!
Oh this is 4 hours so well spent 😂😂🤣🙌
Highest praise for Gav for actually reading this whole series & blessing us with this epically entertaining play by play review 👑🙌
I hated the way Jenny was described. I had large breasts too as a young teen and it made me so embarrassed because it basically let me know that yes, everyone notices them first.
Oh my God it took me daysss to watch the full video I cannot imagine how tired you must've been !!!
Please read 'The It Girl' series, the spin off of Gossip Girl books about Jenny! I never touched/consumed/was aware of Gossip Girl but I devoured It Girl!
These series vlogs are my favorite thing ever. The WORK you put into these is so impressive.
The slash rewrite is killing me, omg! The ways they're killing people make no sense, and they would 100% be caught if they're killing people like this. So many witnesses!!!
Also, thank you for reading all of these so we don't have to!
I am only at the intro and this video already promises to be legendary!
Oh you 😭
YOU ARE AN ICON
My favorite part of the gossip girl franchise (books and show combined) was this… it’s you… you’re the winner!!!! Excellent work.
This gives off bumping into a stranger at the pub and having an in-depth heart to heart in the smoking area, love it
Thanks!
Thanks so much 🥰
I just watched all 4 hours of this video. I've watched this video for longer then I actual TV show. Thank you for the amount of time and effort you would of had to put into this. I haven't laughed or cringed/questioned/WTF'd so much in a while. Those books... definitely haven't aged well!
Leaving a comment to say I already love the idea, the hard work and the fun you have with the book series as I dip in and out of this over the next days
Thanks so much Melissa, I hope you have a blast watching!
