so proud of you gav, vlogging outside is overwhelming but it helps with anxiety, it would be so lovely to have a slice of life vlogs as a constant on the channel! just lowkey low stress cozy basic chores kinda vlogs. they're my favorite yt content actually. Edit: now everytime you go to the church cafe i’m gonna think about shrek railing some *ussy 😭😭😭😭

@michellecgb 6 месяцев назад

I hope this does become a series Gavin, as long as it doesn’t overwhelm you! ❤

@margaret000 6 месяцев назад

I LOVE thé idea of you doing a non-project video of just one book you are in the mood for and how it went/how you liked it! You deserve some lighter commitment projects (and honestly that’s more interesting to me that 1000 mediocre books in a specific series 😅)

@TheVictorianHours 6 месяцев назад

I’m so bad with getting too many books out of the library and then getting overwhelmed so you’re so smart to just get the one book at a time!!!

@FannyBureau 6 месяцев назад

I love the idea of a monthly (whenever) vlog where you go to the library pick a book and read it and review. I think if you already aim for a larger year-long video project it puts too much pressure on you :( just post a vlog when you do pick a book at the library, and maybe at the end of the year if you feel like it do an overall review video of the idea?

@nadiaflx 6 месяцев назад

Please do more of these type of videos! I love reading vlogs / slice of life videos. It seems more "chill" and we get to just hang out with you going about your life. 🩶💙

@VivianReads 6 месяцев назад

Def my fav type of video! Seeing you out and about 😁

@RileyMarie_ 6 месяцев назад

I love all your videos but something about this vlog was just so great! I hope you do more of these every once in a while 💖

@alliehill6168 6 месяцев назад

Love to see you being more kind to yourself! You already seem to be in much brighter spirits.

@sallyhigby9089 6 месяцев назад

Your library is so cozy! I can’t believe they even have a cafe! I know it was closed but how cool!

@anagutierrez8968 6 месяцев назад

This was super cozy! also, I am from Uruguay and the consensus seems to be here: on December 8th you put on the Christmas decorations, and on January 8th you take them off (we have the Three Kings' Day, hence why it lasts until after the New Year.

@TheExhaustipatedBookworm 6 месяцев назад

I love libraries.

@GavinReadsItAll 6 месяцев назад

Same, and my local one is pretty good

@angelaholmes8888 6 месяцев назад

Same 😊

@ladyfox6705 6 месяцев назад

I love videos like this, thanks Gavin! It must be daunting recording outside like this (as someone who gets a bit overwhelmed outside) so hats off to you! It's the 31st here in NZ, so a very big Happy New Year to everyone, and especially to you, Gavin 🙂 I take my Christmas decorations down today, ready for a fresh start to the New Year. My only resolution is to 'be the best version of ME that I can BE' - so lots of self-love for me in 2024 ♥

@audreyhertz301 6 месяцев назад

Hey Gavin! 👋 My birthday is on January 1st. In my family, I start the year and my father ends the year. His birthday is December 31st. We always shared a cake growing up. I am glad you are now prioritizing your mental health. I did that last year and it was the best thing for me. I even started eating healthier because of it. Thanks for all the wonderful content this year! May next year be what you want it to be!!

@leeh4343 6 месяцев назад

How I wish my library would separate the fantasy out from the rest of the fiction. Love these sort of vlogs. Happy New Year Gavin! 🎉

@AshleyRebecca 6 месяцев назад

Oh this is exactly the type of video I was hoping you would do! Thanks for sharing with us.

@Welshopal1 6 месяцев назад

I think a video just like this each month would be great. Go to the library and cafe, show us some of your plans for the next month (so people can get a look at all the awesome stuff your Patreon does). I would love just a tour around town or some of your fav hangouts etc. I live in Canada but I'm originally from Wales. I miss all of the older buildings and seeing the sights. Thank you for all of the love and time you put into all of your content. Have a Happy New Year!

@VivianReads 6 месяцев назад

Same here & I want to see your favorite spots specifically. Haven't been to Europe since the worldwide lockdown happened… I miss it! 😊

@ossswin 6 месяцев назад

In Italy we take down the christmas tree and christmas decor exclusively after january 6th when we celebrate the three wise men and a cute old witch called the Befana stuffs good kids' stockings with sweets and candy. So I'd say people usually reset their houses to regular decor on january 7th. 😊 So glad you decided to give yourself more grace this upcoming year, you deserve the best Gav! ❤

@NovelNanny 6 месяцев назад

Gavin- you should give yourself social challenges. Like converse/talk more than hi to one other person outside the home every day irl not online. Do anti isolation goals like take a half hour walk everyday. Could help with issues you’ve mentioned.

@daniellereads 6 месяцев назад

I think that vlog idea sounds great. I think booktube sleeps on the library ngl and I'm someone who maxes out my cards lol

@laurend6931 6 месяцев назад

Using the library regularly last year drastically improved my reading life. I think it’s because I grab things that look captivating to me at that moment in time and I’m not afraid to take risks. I’m choosing books that perfectly fit my current mood and need, even it’s a silly one. Compare that to my owned TBR (which I’d been trying to prioritize in previous years) where I will sometimes force myself to tackle a book out of a sense of obligation (it’s been sitting there too long) or because it was a beautiful edition or something someone else gifted me/recommended. And then it starts to feel like a chore to get through. I realized this when my overall ratings went through the roof last year…a 4.5 average rather than my usual 3 average. Libraries for the win!

@Rkive.wonderland 6 месяцев назад

I feel like this was so nice to see and hear. I don’t know you personally but I’m happy you are saying you are happy, going outside for coffee just cause you want to is sooo important, I’m cheering for you

@judithcakelover 6 месяцев назад

I also always try to find some hidden gems at my library. I might have to make it a challenge to read at a nice place and drink a coffee and have some lunch or something. I really love to watch people do that in vlogs it looks so nice! And I want to continue more series. Also want to random choose books from my shelves and read them. Nick my son also loves that game, he washed santa's workshop.

@gabbyreads 6 месяцев назад

Your library is so cute and cozy I love it!! 🥹 I also love these slice of life vlogs, I hope to see more of them in the future!! 💗

@alsmirle 6 месяцев назад

i love the idea of the library monthly pick! i think you should raise the stakes even more by only picking something you've never heard of, chosen purely based on "oh this looks super interesting". libraries have so many backlog hidden treasures, and it can make the choosing even more mood-driven (which aligns with "reading what i want")

@RallyReviews 6 месяцев назад

i LOVE seeing people utilize the library!!! I think the one book thing is a great idea. I love how your library looked like it was organized like a bookstore. wow your set of Lord of the rings books is gorgeous.

@sc8717 6 месяцев назад

Loved this vlog Gavin!! In ireland everyone generally still leaves their decs up til the 6th of January. Personally I love that we still have Christmas for the first week of the new year!

@angelaholmes8888 6 месяцев назад

Great idea about going to the library it's so important to support are local libraries

@xamandalaurenx 6 месяцев назад

Love these kinds of vlogs! 💕

@GavinReadsItAll 6 месяцев назад

I love watching them, I never get a chance to make them myself

@christinah3332 6 месяцев назад

I adored this vlog! More slice of life vlogs in 2024 is my vote! (But only if they make you happy 💚)

@NakiasHideaway 6 месяцев назад

Gavin, I just love getting a chance to hang out with you. Yes, more of these vlogs please! 🙆🏾‍♀️ And I love that you will be taking better care of yourself in 2024. We all want the best for you and will be here for any content that you give us. 🤗 Oh and I love the church turned into the coffee shop. Looks so cozy! I'm jealous. 😮 Here's to a wonderful 2024! Much love! 🍾🥂

@XOXOLOLA100 6 месяцев назад

So proud of you for taking care of your mental health 😊 I have a feeling that the steps you are taking would be a great example for others who are struggling with similar issues. May we all find ways to be kinder to ourselves in this incoming year 🙏🏻 Thank you for sharing with us a piece of your journey and happy new year! 🎆

@emmettowl 6 месяцев назад

This video is so cosy and re-watchable. I've been using it as company when my job is stressing me out. That coffee shop is amazing. ❤☕

@mysticphoenixreads 5 месяцев назад

A digital 5-7 quart crockpot will be your friend, Gav. Toss fresh ingredients in, in the morning. Go low and slow and by six you'll have a home-cooked dinner. To say nothing of yummy leftovers... Plus, a seriously easy cleanup.

@rootingbranches 6 месяцев назад

You are an absolute joy! Getting my wine and snuggling in for 30 mins.

@dimensionalMystery 6 месяцев назад

i love cosy bookish slice of life vlogs so as long as you're comfortable with it, i'd love for this to become a series! also that church café is gorgeous and tikka masala pizza sounds amazing!

@MilenaReads 6 месяцев назад

Gavin and life style vlogging: yes please! I really loved this.

@FrankieReads 6 месяцев назад

OMG Gavin what an incredible new vlog style from you! I love it. I started using my library (both digital & physical) more in 2023 and I plan to ramp that up even more in 2024. I'm excited to see more library visits on your channel. Can't wait to see what you do in the self-care space and adjusting to your life as a mental health conscious booktuber. It's gonna be a great year.

@katiee728 6 месяцев назад

Loooove a nice cozy vlog! Sending you love and wishing you a happy new year, Gavin! Here's to a better brighter and peaceful 2024 ✨I'm very much looking forward to a fresh start myself!

In my catholic country the Christmas 🎄 goes up on Christmas Eve and comes down on 6 Jan

@hayle5920 6 месяцев назад

Honestly, these are some of your favorite videos. I love seeing you out and about, visiting with friends, etc. Well I mean I love a lot of your videos, and just love seeing what makes you happy. ❤

@MLanou 6 месяцев назад

I love the idea of visiting the library once a month and picking out one book to read. ❤

@rebeccabarfield7936 6 месяцев назад

That cafe looks AMAZING 😮 Good to hear your 2024 goals are mental health focused 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

@sleuthytv1228 6 месяцев назад

Gav your library bookshelf lights are everything. You should keep them up all year if you don't:) so cozy

@TouchstonesRanna 6 месяцев назад

Loved seeing the library. I can't believe it has a café inside! Taking down Christmas decorations either happens on New Year's Eve or Epiphany. I really enjoyed this cozy vlog.

6 месяцев назад

In Germany, we traditionally keep the Christmas decorations at least up until January 6. But I like to start taking down my decorations a few days earlier.

@meloveschocolate 6 месяцев назад

21:28 could you maybe do a behind the scenes/ week in my life video? I really loved the one you made this year and it was actually the video that made me sub 😅🖤

@yanapetrovska9065 6 месяцев назад

We don't consider them Christmas decorations in my country, but New Year decorations instead, so we usually don't take them off till mid to late January. Some people leave them for the whole winter

@lucyhalford2439 6 месяцев назад

You seem so much lighter and happier in this video; we love to see it! ❤ Love the idea of going to the library once a month for a year and documenting it 🙌🏻❤️ And was so nice to get an insight into you doing your monthly plans for RU-vid and Patreon etc 👍🏼

@laurennewson2795 6 месяцев назад

Loved this video. I am too making the most of my library especially for book club books. I’m going to plan my 2024 a lot better then 2023

@OrangeLibrary 6 месяцев назад

Awww... Thanks for the shoutout. 🙂 I love this. I hope you will do more of these in the future.

@libraryofallie 6 месяцев назад

Power wash simulator is literally so relaxing and so so satisfying!! Really love this video Gavin - super cosy and wonderful xx

@knottyneedle 6 месяцев назад

Really liked the 'plan the month'. I am a planner babe, but I like the brainstorming idea once a month.

@noelanikaanana 6 месяцев назад

You should set monthly goals for outings. I saw another creator let IG plan their day. They had people vote on where they should go for breakfast (ex fav place or someplace new) along with various activities during the day. It was a fun vlog to watch.

@CherryCheetah 6 месяцев назад

Me: "Yes, take care of your mental health, Gavin!" also me: *tries to finish 4 books in one day just to complete a reading goal*. (mostly manga, I'll be fine *insert the picture of the burning dog*)

@firewhiskeyreader8257 6 месяцев назад

I love that you're figuring out how to have a better year and reading experience.

@Lisa-vb3gn 6 месяцев назад

Love the library idea. I’m going to join you!

@emmibobable 6 месяцев назад

I think doing a what I read from the library vlog idea is great. I do worry though that if you do it as a year long project then you’ll loose steam (I know I run out of steam with long projects and wouldn’t want it to end up burdening you if it’s a marathon video). A end of year highlights reel from this project would be a shout (maybe with bloopers as they’re always great 🤔)

@WhatVictoriaRead 6 месяцев назад

This was so cosy and wonderful, I loved it! And vlogging outside is HARD; you smashed it! 👏👏👏

@TheArtfulBrittani 6 месяцев назад

I just recently borrowed The Book That Wouldn't Burn from the library too! I finished it already, and loved it. be prepared, the last 30ish % is like thriller paced to the end. His 40 page short story in between books 1 & 2 is fun too.

@No8Named8Shadow 6 месяцев назад

Wait, a self service library? What? I’m… stunned. Flabbergasted even? Shook. Wow.

@sarahlopod 6 месяцев назад

omg i love playing House Flipper (similar to Powerwash Simulator in a lot of ways) while watching yt videos or listening to podcasts. this was so fun and cozy, i hope you do more!

@angiesteg 6 месяцев назад

I love this style of vlog and seeing you out and about. I"m excited to watch your January videos :)

I just got the LOTR extended edition and I can't wait to do a movie marathon- I also want to eat like a hobbit for a day! 😂 Happy New Year! Remember you got this. You are amazing! Thank you for all the awesome videos you have posted.

@TurningPages_byArooj 6 месяцев назад

Gav! You're not giving yourself any day off in the entire month of jan. 🥺As much as I love watching you, I always feel you over do yourself and never give yourself a gav day off. Please think of yourself first and consider this small suggestion. Sending you lots of love and good vibes... happy new year! ❤

@TheVictorianHours 6 месяцев назад

I’m 30 and i am also bad with cooking for myself and I make the same things over and over again 😂 you’re not alone Gavin!

@joslyngibson9965 6 месяцев назад

I am only half way through this video, but I am LOVING it. I love this chill, casual, authentic Gavin. Glad you have decided to take care of yourself in 2024. Can’t wait to watch you evolve.

@pattireinheimer5612 6 месяцев назад

We usually take our decorations down after the new year, but we took the tree down yesterday this year because it had gotten really dry & droopy

@TheVictorianHours 6 месяцев назад

It sucks the cafe was closed but it’s so cool your library has a cafe!!!!

@readingwithktn 6 месяцев назад

Love this video 😊 Visiting the library is one of my favourite things to do, sometimes I reserve books but then when I go to collect them, I have a browse and end up picking more! 🙈 Will have to try it your way and stick to one book. The place you stopped for food looked amazing! I usually take my christmas decorations down a couple of days after christmas, I don't like having them up going into a new year.

@teableu 6 месяцев назад

@MoJordanReads 6 месяцев назад

I love this video concept and if it's something that you enjoyed creating, I definitely hope to see more of these. I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say that we click on your videos for you and, while your big projects are so fun to watch, your simpler videos like this one are equally enjoyable and you deserve to create more calming and relaxing stuff, as well. Glad to see you making positive, healthy adjustments. Happy New Year! ❤❤❤

@DanielReads 6 месяцев назад

wonderful! I can't wait to get a cup of coffee and cozy up and watch!

@TheSmalyy 6 месяцев назад

i loved this vlog so so much gav !!! 2023 was a trainwreck of a year so i'm very excited to jump into a better, funner year with you and everyone else in this beautiful space that is booktube

@mollyuhe 6 месяцев назад

@Fluffymagicalbunny 6 месяцев назад

I usually wait till I absolutely have to take it down so like late January but this year I am getting a puppy!! So I have to take it down this weekend to get ready for him. I named him Ace after our beloved. ☺️❤️

@karenposselt8275 6 месяцев назад

I’m excited that you’re rereading Lord of the Rings! I am too, with my 19 year old son and my dad. We already reread and watched The Hobbit, and we are most of the way through The Fellowship of the Ring! Looking forward to your visit to the Shire!! 🥰

@jessicabridges4335 6 месяцев назад

I'm 44 years old. I have discovered that taking one day at a time and knowing when your body says enough is enough chill. Thats my new goal. I hurt my back so bad that I'm out of work for awhile! 😢 but this video is good. ❤

@cilleforest 6 месяцев назад

I haven't even seen this video but I can't wait! So excited for the slice-of-life content. Love seeing you out and about🎉✨🥳

@VivianReads 6 месяцев назад

Happy New year & def looking forward to more of this type of content.

@mandys1379 6 месяцев назад

You’re doing a Lord of the Rings vlog!!! I’m so excited to watch that! LOTR is one of my favorite books (and movies). (Sorry if this was mentioned in a previous vlog, I’m very behind on all RU-vid videos from the past few months) Also I really enjoyed this vlog and seeing you go to the library and the coffee shop!

@aspiring_recluse 6 месяцев назад

Loved this. I think it's a great idea to build time for low-pressure vlogs like this into your content planning to hopefully force yourself to take a breather. If you were able to do a similar video around the end of the month and included that preliminary planning for the next month you could even call it a monthly reset, which people are very into these days. It wouldn't have to be an uber "productive" cleaning reset, but more of a mental reset. Though the main priority should not be to build it into another stressful obligation, but to save space for yourself to take it easy. ❤❤❤

@ClumsyCharlott 6 месяцев назад

Loved this vlog! But damn you got me stressed when you started to throw those Christmas decorations into the bag.

@OnlyIfForAPage 6 месяцев назад

I love this type of content, chilling in cafés is the best! 😁

@chaosandcalories4260 6 месяцев назад

So jealous of your library. A cafe in the library??? Genius. Also a coffee shop in a church..I want to move to wherever you are. I live in the states. I have an artificial tree which I put up the day after Thanksgiving. I take all the Christmas decorations down on New Years Day 😢

@exomake_mehorololo 6 месяцев назад

Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉I'm looking forward to the next days. Christmas season ends on January 6th so I leave my tree up till then. Same for my wreaths. I want to enjoy all the days of Christmas. Most of my other decorations are more winter than Christmas so I leave them up till February

@ladylovesteadreads 6 месяцев назад

I take my xmas decor down at the epiphany (holy day). i'm sure that phrase made me sound like I'm having a stroke but the epiphany really is a christian holy day. lol. loved the vlog.

@AndiBfishbowlwoman 6 месяцев назад

We de-deck our tree and house usually right after New Year's. So...today's the day!! We are also watching Lord of the Rings tonight (the last one) *and* I hope to read What the River Knows this month. Happy New Year to you, Gavin!!

@rebekahl6157 6 месяцев назад

I loved this! The library looked amazing and I love that you’re doing what makes you happy!

@gabbyreads 6 месяцев назад

Ohhh I love the word doc / calendar and planning part of this video!! I find it so much fun to get planned and organized like this! 😍 I agree though I’m tired of the short days with the sun going down so early lmao I’m ready for spring too!! It makes it so much harder to film when it gets dark so early 😅

@TheVictorianHours 6 месяцев назад

Omg I really want to read The Princess Diaries too!!!!!!

@BRhymesss 6 месяцев назад

I loved this vlog from you so much! I feel like a nice cozy slice of life vlog like this would be and easy/low pressure once a month video slot in.

@WhimsicalFamilyLife 6 месяцев назад

LOVE this style of video. It would be great if you had a list of video ideas that you like and that are easy to film & edit for you to draw from when you need / want more time for your projects. Then you can keep the algorithm happy and of course us viewers because we still get to see you:) Also, there's no commitment to do them, it's your "secret list," and it feels like a bonus to us. [Less is More is a great slogan] P.S. Library Vlog - how about filming/editing them organically. For example, instead of saying 1/month or 1/year, it's whenever you feel 1 is finished, which would probably average 1 every 6 weeks. I of course would like 1 every month, I'm sure I'm not alone, but happy with longer stretch and seeing you enjoy your love of books and content creation. (There's my unasked for thoughts, lol:)
